About this deal

There are a lot of conversion opportunities presented in the Citadel Skull kit, so many that no one person can come up with all of them. That’s the beauty of our hobby, there doesn’t seem to be an end to the possibilities we can come up with. The Tyranid skulls have the same possible uses as the Tau skulls. I plan on using at least one of them as the head of a leader of a Death unit that I’ve been working on off and on. I will of course shave off the crest bone of the skull before adding them to the leader of the unit. A specific conversion that I’m looking forward to completing is a mostly skeletal face with a distended mouth gurgling the praises of Grandfather Nurgle. I can use one of the lower jaws from the human skulls as the lower structure of the mouth. In Warhammer this often happens when the Warp/Realm of Chaos is treated as just a very nasty place, instead of an abstract Realm, where time and space hold no sway. I remember an anatomical drawing for demons in one of the D&D Demonomicons that really made me think "Here is an example of someone who doesn't get that demons aren't just nasty people. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.

You may have noticed a common theme amongst models and scenery pieces from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar ranges - skulls. They're everywhere, decorating the walls of Khornate keeps and hanging from the belts of fearsome warriors. But we don't think there are enough skulls out there...Enter the Citadel Skulls. This is a box of 340 (yes, three hundred and forty!) plastic skulls, designed for the hobbyist to decorate scenery, bases and models as they see fit. There are even 20 extra jawbones! Here's a breakdown of the number and type of the 340 (!) skulls in the box:- 82 human skulls with jawbones;- 86 human skulls without jawbones;- 15 human jawbones;- 60 assorted damaged human skulls;- 2 giants' skulls;- 1 Morghast skull (in 2 components);- 1 beast skull (in 2 components);- 4 small horned skulls;- 4 medium horned skulls;- 3 large horned skulls;- 7 bird skulls;- 2 Chaos beast skulls;- 6 plague bearer skulls;- 6 Blood letter skulls;- 10 T'au skulls;- 5 Kroot skulls;- 6 alien skulls;- 21 Genestealer Hybrid skulls;- 20 Ork skulls without jaws;- 5 Ork jawbones;- 7 Ork skulls with jaws open;- 7 Ork skulls with jaws.- as well as 15 human jawbones;- 5 Ork jawbones.The Ur-goul skulls present a bit of a challenge as the details are sadly not very well defined. If I use these for a project, I will be using a very small drill to deepen the nasal holes on the skulls. They would make effective bases for building your own Ur-gouls if you were able to strategically use Greenstuff to soften the sharp edges of the skulls and complete the missing nostrils. They’re missing their lower jaws, but the human jawbones could be used to fill in for the missing parts. Drakenhof Nightshade (Citadel) – A very dark blue shade that will add a cool tone to your bony painting, which contrasts nicely with warm undertones and base coats

Vallejo Game Color Brown Ink [you can also use thinned Doombull Brown] was used to deep shade around the screws. When you’re done painting bone, remember to protect your work with a good matte varnish. I highly-recommend using a matte varnish, which will remove and even out any reflections on your model. A matte finish is particularly important for painting bone, which is naturally matte and non-reflective–unless it’s the frightening maw of a living creature, dripping with slimy saliva. Tips for Painting More Realistic Bone (or Anything, Really)There are a lot of options out there for skulls of humans, and even some for ork skulls. Sure, some of these kits are most specialized like the flaming skulls from GSW, and the skulls with bionics from Wargame Exclusive. For many that may be a significant difference, but comparing the price per skulls, product material, and variety of skull types the Citadel Skulls set blows them all out of the water. The Beastmen skulls are a great resource for one of the more common conversion styles found in the AoS28 community, building hybrid skeleton/Nurgle/dryad warbands for Hinterlands and AoS Skirmish. Most of them are too large to look convincing on groups of skeletons, but that’s never stopped a good conversion before. The skulls will also make great decorations for the now very powerful Herdstones of a Beastman army as well. I have a lot of plans for the kit and the possible conversions I can do with the contents. I'll be adding a reply to this post later detailing some of my thoughts because this initial post is going to be really long as it is. Polished Bone (Reaper) – A natural, stereotypical boney color for realistically painting mid-tone or highlights on bony material The massive skull is one that is kinds stumping me. It could be used as the head of a massive undead or Nurgle beast. I could also see it in use for some kind of Khorne project. It strikes me that the top portion and facial area of the skull could be used to decorate a chaos chariot. If you really wanted to do some work you might even be able to make the body and face of a Nurgle Plague Toad out of the skull.
