Ok so where can i get some skulls, like singular skulls not skull pyramids or full skull bases.

I would sculpt my own but my gs work is pretty poor, and casting a GW skull is a big no-no as is may end up in lawsuits.

So any sites where you can buy individual skulls would be appreciated. Its for basing my chaos army when it starts.

I have got 2 bits sites added but cant find decent skulls, so even if you say go to "insert army here" and model "insert box name here" that would also do

Armies I have: Chaos Space Marines, Tau, Necrons, High Elves

Armies I want:Lizardmen, Warriors Of Chaos, Dark Eldar

Armies I may get: Dark Angels, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts

depending on your purpose, a back of WHFB Vampire Counts Skeletons might do you some good if you dont like the Skulls pack from GW. the extra skeleton parts can be used for other purposes. However on a dollar-to-skulls ratio it seems the Skulls Pack is a cheaper investment, and metal is only hard if you ahve to cut/shave them.

Hmmm...the GW products I know includes skulls are Skeletons Warriors(obviously, Vampire Count ones seems to have better detail and Tomb Kings ones are more skulls in the box), Chaos Warriors(A few small skulls on some of the frames, half is "normal" other half got horns) and you also get skulls on most chaos space marine stuff(Chaos Terminators got lots of trophy racks) unless I'm misstaken... I myself bought a box of skeletons and shared the price and spoils with a friend to solve both our skull and bone needs.

Might not be worth getting a whole box just for some skulls, but if you can find some use for all the parts, it might be worth it Or if you know someone who collect one of those armies you might find a few spare ones they can part with.

Happy skullhunting! Make Khorne proud!

Wow the pack of skulls is exactly what I need for my desert bases!

Violence is not the answer, but it's always a good guess.

Tomb King Chariot armies tend to have massive amounts of leftover skulls (mainly due to the fact that the chariots come with a Skeleton COmmand Sprue, which really doesnt add much since you will possibly only ever take the instrument and bows and that's about it as the chariot sprue itself comes with skulls, but nonetheless it still comes with enough skulls to equip a regiment). I myself have an excess of 40 something skulls due to the chariot and are planning to use them to build a bone giant (kinda like Ryo Kokki).

If you want lots and lots of single skulls, consider a greenstuff press mould. Not the most flattering but it does the job if you want lots something that wont be too closely looked at.
