I suppose every one of us feels the urge to buy some animal skeleton miniatures once in a while. I've set up this page to make it easier to search for them in online stores.
Uses for animal skeletons in miniature wargames
If you have a significant other who does not share your enthusiasm for plastic skeletons of extinct animals, you have to come up with an excuse for them, if you want to buy a couple more. Here are my possible uses for them:
Wargame units
Undead animals, beasts of burden for necromancer armies
Basis for undead dragons
The remains of possessed animals, beasts of burden for demonic armies
Painted in metallic colours, they can be the framework of robot dinosaurs gone crazy
Painted in metallic colours, with some additional parts they can be steamtech robot dinosaurs
Wargame terrain
With some additional makeup, you can create carcasses of animals
Long dead bones of animals
Statues of undead animals
Reconstruction of extinct animals for a museum
Animal graveyard, where the animals go to die
Vehicle, carrying animal skeletons
Waste pit for animal carcasses
- near the home of a hunter or butcher
- animals sactificed at a temple
Hunter trophies
