Warlords of Erehwon Skeletons - Fiddly but fine - Part 2: Painting

So now you have yourself a mass of beautiful plastic Warlords of Erehwon (/Wargames Factory) skeletons (see: the previous article), and you want to get them "tabletop ready" ASAP. Because, maybe, you have a tournament in a few days....eep!

Or, in fact, you have any brand nekkid skellies, or mostly nekkid. Here is how I get them buffed up quick and easy for the table.

Warlords of Erehwon Skeletons - Fiddly but fine - Part 1: Assembly

You may have seen a video from a well respected YouTuber who had a bit of an issue with the Warlords of Erehwon plastic skeletons. You bought the boxes, and then found that video, and are now sinking into a morass of despair. Worst models ever, I believe was the hyperbole on the video. He's a damn good terrain maker, but he is not the most patient of fellows.

Well fret not! I am here to save you. For yes, they are fiddly. But with a bit of strategy, planning ahead, and choosing the right tools, you can actually assemble them in a timely manner. Please read the whole thing before starting; it will be important!

Unit showcase - Keepers of the Dead (Ghouls)

In the township of Angelfall the Book of the Grey is the bible and law book, encyclopaedia and instruction manual. The priests of the Grey are judges, police, spiritual leaders and guidance counsellors.

The Book describes the Greylands, the world just beyond death. While most religions focus on the afterlife, the Grey focuses on the transition world between life and death. Mortal souls travel across the Greylands as they make their way to the afterlife. It is from these Greylands that necromantic energy is drawn, and souls captured to become undead.

In Angelfall the townsfolk know of death and the Greylands, as all whole live there know the Book of the Grey from an early age. They also know of, but rarely speak of, the Keepers of the Dead.
