Historical Skellies!
Not favouring any of the many potential fantasy versions of skeletons, previous posts demonstrate my historical versions of skeletons as Imperial Romans and Ancient Britons (so c. 43-70 CE) in their tabletop fights for control of Britannia.

| The massed legions moving through (well, ok then...) WITH a ruined temple |
The painting was simplified by the use of ‘bone’ coloured primer so only required a wash of Army Painter Soft Tone to give them definition. Muted colours and rust or patina on the metal bits provide the “been in the ground for a while” look. Note the two legionaries emerging in the foreground of the photo.

Hard plastics, in this case those from Wargames Atlantic, provide a great medium on which to glue the extra bits of helmets and shields which are offered as optional extras on the more fleshed out sprues of the historical models by the other plastic manufacturers.
