I think the shrunken head bits are cool...

**BobtheInquisitor**

The antlers, horns and feathers look great for making hero characters. The shark jaws might fit well on vehicles, or possibly torso armor.

**KidCthulhu**

I'd have to see the whole sprue, but I could definitely use some horns (especially the antlers).

**Kid_Kyoto**

???

Very niche, similar bits widely available (though not as a kit on their own), and very small parts with small contact points.

Weird.

**Shadow Walker**

No idea why this kit should even exist when ''various animals box'' (wolves, birds, bears, boars etc.) would be a no brainer to do.

**Easy E**

It is to tie into all the folk horror coming out right now.

**KidCthulhu**

It they make a small add-on sprue like the one they did for Deathfields, it will probably sell reasonably well. Some of those horns might work well to decorate Damned veterans/leaders.

**BobtheInquisitor**

The one addition I would push hard for would be a pair of eagle wings, for helmets or armor.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Since it's a collaboration it may well be that WGA is just acting as a contractor with most of the design/ideas coming from Pete the Wargamer

Automatically Appended Next Post:

Tooling is wrapping up in the next couple days for this follow up to one of our first two sets: Skeleton Warriors! We think it will be worth the wait.

There will be five frames in the box (along with two chariot frames) - you can see the frame in Articles and News on our site - and this will give you enough parts to do a variety of things.

There are 3 rider bodies on each frame (to allow for all bare skeletons or 1/3 with muscled cuirass) and 2 foot bodies that can become either chariot crew or regular infantry.
You can make a lot of different combinations depending on what you're trying to achieve:
A. Two chariots with crew, six cavalry, six foot
B. One chariot with crew, eight cavalry, eight foot
C. Zero chariots (save them to use with our regular horses if you want!), 10 cavalry, 10 foot
As said above they're almost finished with tooling and then we'll be onto box printing, injection, and getting them out to you. No release date yet.

On a completely personal note as an undead collector for the past two decades:

I'm not sure if i can emphasize enough the gravity of the situation! We must Prepare! I'm thinking around 10 boxes should get the legion topped up after new years. Start the year off with a pile of bones.

Should I make 20 chariots, 60 cav, and 60 infantry

10 chariots, 80 cavalry, and 80 infantry

or

100 cavalry and 100 infantry

I'm thinking this will work nicely to get the Emerald legion of Numas (I am taking a different tact than the usual red for numas) off the ground with The Old World around the corner.

Clearly it is as following:
200 infantry. Pikemen only. Then another 400 swordsmen, then 300 cav, then 50 chariots.

Of course. Eventually. Smaller unit based chunks while building and painting is key.

I am struggling how "10 horses, 2 chariots and 25 multi-part hard plastic figures" translates into any of the build options, ex. 0 chariots, 10 cavalry and 10 foot as 0 plus 10 plus 10 adds up to less than 25.

Looking at the description in this article https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/skeleton-cavalry-and-chariots-update , I think the 25 includes rider bodies which are not being used.
You have 5 sprues with 5 bodies each (3 riders and 2 foot), so you can have at most 10 foot or chariot crew and you have at most 10 riders, but 5 rider bodies at the minimum are not used (or you need additional horses to use them).
If you use the chariots there are more rider bodies left unused, so the number of useful miniatures per box drops.

EDIT: One thing for sure is that stating the 25 miniatures in the box when you don't have the parts to actually build that many in a fully functional way is a bit misleading to say the least. If other manufacturers followed the same approach, Perry Miniatures Chasseaurs à Cheval would have 28 miniatures on the box instead of 14, they have 28 rider bodies in the box after all...

You’d have five skeleton karate students in horse stance.

Yarrrrrr?

Those arms would be good to convert Frostgrave crewmen into Blackpowder pirates. That is a box i would likely pick up. The Skeletons look good too. I have plenty of skeletons from board games like Mythic Battles and Conan as well as Bones kickstarters... but no cav or chariots so may get a box of those as well.

Edit: Though unless these are fast tracked, the pirates (or whatever they are) are likely years away. As seen by Conquistador cav, Hafling cav, that viking army builder, the afghan cav, etc, etc, etc...

We have opened a painting contest for the end-of-year. This time focusing on character and single models.

That undead box looks really good. Between that and the original foot troop box you can make a pretty solid undead army for reasonably cheap, with options for units of spears, swords, archers, cavalry and chariots. what more do you really need?

You can also make light infantry with javelins.

**privateer4hire**

I’m going to nobly sacrifice to get the Quar to show up almost immediately. I’ll just spend the money I have been saving for them on napoleonics ?

**Scottywan82**

Lovely! What a fabulous set.

**KidCthulhu**

Am I seeing that right? They're including puddle bases as a separate bit on the sprue because the standing ones could be either infantry or chariot crew?

**insaniak**

Hate the puddle bases on the horses, but otherwise that's a fantastic looking sprue.

Huh, so they are.

How else would the horses stand well on bases?
