Hey guys.

So I'm trying to nail this particular look for some skeleton warrior types, and I have the VC Skeletons kit, but I think it would be cool to have a unit of skeletons that are larger than them-- I'm not talking gigantic, but like taller and longer, maybe even bulkier. I want to make them seem scarier and stronger, I even have some big Tomb King swords set aside to give them. But the thing is, it's hard to elongate models with limbs as thin as skeletons. I've seen the TK skeletons and I'm not a fan, but I am considering the Tomb Guard, even though they're the same height, because they're hunched over and it at least implies more height. I'm not really that familiar with the VC or TK lines (and it's hard to navigate them now on GW's site because of AoS), so are there any larger skeletons or undead available? Or from other companies?

You can try mix and matching animal skeletons into it, like the legs off of skeleton horses or something.

Also the Tomb Kings line was put on Last Chance to buy a while back and is probably all sold out by now. :/

Oh crap, are you serious? That explains why I haven't been able to find any tomb guard for sale anywhere. Dammit!

Raaaagh okay. I'll have to keep looking for ideas.

I have a nice lot of Ebay right now full of skeletons from the VC range, and for cheap.

I'm probably only looking for one more unit to fill out this project, but that is a good deal-- I hope it goes well.
