The Best Undead
This is my favourite Prince August Undead mold. All figures are quite easy to cast despite their spindly nature. They are also a lot sturdier than they look even with 6 star metal. Would highly recommend the mold.
Animated skeletons, clicking and clacking as they move rapidly across the battle field, may seem relatively harmless compared to a meaty Orc, but remember, an Orc can feel pain, can be killed and can feel fear, all these factors don't affect skeletons. They simply attack until they are either destroyed or are victorious. Sent enmass against living opponents, the noise of bone on bone can become a terrifying tune that spreads panic.
25mm scale rubber moulds that can cast multiple figures hundreds of times.
There are three different Skeleton fighters that you can cast and you can cast approximately 9 figures from a single ingot of metal (e.g. Model Metal ingot is 125 grams) provided you remelt the ingates between casting.
This product is not suitable for children under the age of 14.

Three nicely detailed skeletons. A perfect addition to any dungeon. Useful for small encounters, or building up troops for an undead army. The skeletons with the sword and shield, and the poleaxe, are great for grunts or generic skeletal troops. The skeleton with the scythe would make a good commander, or with a little work with an exacto knife and some files the scythe can be trimmed back to be a poleaxe, a spear, or a staff so you can convert him into another skeletal troop, or an undead mage. Despite some very narrow parts I generally get all good casts.

The best mould of skeleton warriors
Slightly smaller than the other skeleton moulds, so closer to 1/72nd scale plastics. I have trialled using a white gesso undercoat, drab block colours and then finished with a brown ink wash (to emphasis the recesses). This gives a suitable wargaming standard paint job and makes the figures look a bit like the skeletons from ‘Jason and the Argonauts’.
I thought with the thin legs etc they would be hard to do. Not so, the one with the scythe is very reliable and the others are as good as any normal mould.
