Blog 100. Grenadier Miniatures Skeleton Horseman.

I've been holding this final miniature from the Skeletons: Raiders of the Undead boxed set back for a rainy day & that day finally came on Sunday, courtesy of an increasingly rare day off work.






Rather a great miniature for my 100th post on this blog, featuring the eclectic equipment so characteristic of Andrew Chernak's skeletons. Interesting to note that this miniature consists of two castings, rider & steed. Compare this to the 4 or 5 parts required to assemble the skeletons in the Barrowmaze boxed set I tackled earlier in the year for not a lot of extra detail & a definite lack of robustness for gaming use.

  1. Very cool figure, HGA. He sort of made me think of Don Quixote - with the weathered armor and all :)

    1. Nice cultural reference Dean, slightly left field but I like it. Might have to make a theme of renaissance literature in my painting.
      Best Regards HGA.
      PS. Sancho Panza up next.

  2. Great painting...being a Philistine the first thing I thought of was the staked skeletons standing round the burial mounds in the final scenes of Conan the Barbarian.
