From one Undead Skeleton Troop sprue you can assemble 10 miniatures in a variety of ways:

Human-sized (S3) skeletal humanoid warrior in armour, with one-handed melee weapon and shield

• 5x Skeleton Warrior with melee weapon and shield - Easily built with tight-fit pegs + 5 models you need to glue
• 10x Skeleton Warrior with melee weapon and shield - 5 with tight-fit pegs, 5 needs glue
• 9x Skeleton Warrior with sword and shield - You'll need to cut some weapons from the hands + 1 with one-handed melee weapon or spear

Human-sized (S3) skeletal humanoid warrior in armour, with spear and shield

• 8x Skeleton Warrior with spear and shield - However 1 spear will be shorter, and you'll need to cut the one-handed melee weapons from the hands + 2 with one-handed melee weapon

Probably one more sword and 2 more spears would have been a nice addition. If you have a Undead Skeleton Command sprue, it will help, as it has a surplus of swords and there are additional spears on that sprue.

I don't really understand the 5 pegless torsos, but some glue solves the problem. It's like they have made 5 sculpts with pegs, then totally forgot about it, and filled the extra space with pegless ones. The same problem is true for the Undead Skeleton Command sprue.
