Triumph of Death: Doom Darts Regiment

The commander parts the shield wall to show that time is up!

 Doom Darts Regiment: Time's up!

Finished up my first full unit of my Renaissance skeletons, a regiment based for Kings of War. I'm going to point these out as skeleton archers, with the idea that darts of death would be as accurate and ranged as a bow. Accurate for skeletons that is...

 As a Regiment in KoW consists of 20 models, I front loaded the unit with 7 models in the first two ranks to give that "legions" feeling and so I could have more coffin lid pavises. I also really wanted   the commander showing you through a break in the shield wall- that time is up!

Side view showing ranking. Went with 3 ranks as It just looked good.

 With the unit built up 3 ranks, it makes it easy for me to attach another unit of 20 next to it (my deckled bases interlock) to create a horde for Kings of War. See- death can be flexible!
 these of course were inspired directly from Breugel's Triumph of Death Painting.

References like this make my models "historical" instead of fantasy :)

Another Conversion: Sword and Shield

I made a thing- taking one of the javelin Dart skellies marching, I cut out the dart and replaced it with a plastic sword from a GW model, then added an old GW empire shield. Really happy with the outcome.

This guy, along with all the painted singles I've done (including conversion) will go towards one of the painted model pledges for my imminently upcoming kickstarter. In fact, the main reason I delayed the KS is to resculpt this guy (and do a variation model) with an open hand so he can be used for various needs. I really want the best quality and variation for anyone jumping in to build a force or an army with these guys!

Cheers, thanks very much for looking, and I love your feedback and comments- keep them coming!
