One skeleton cavalryman rides into battle. This is from the Wargames Atlantic "Skeleton Cavalry and Chariots" box. This is the first one completed from a batch of five. They look nice, but they're kind of fiddly to put together, especially when it comes to attaching the rider to the horse. I ended up needing to mold some very simple saddles from green stuff in order to increase the surface contact area so that they'd stay on. I'm not particularly fond of the models, due mostly to the difficulty of working with them, but they do work. There are ten horses in the box, but only five armored rider bodies. You can have uniformly naked skeleton riders (ten in the box), but not ten uniformly armored riders. So, that's definitely a negative, too.
There are ten "standing" bodies in the box, presumably to man the chariots, and I've made up four of them as spearmen to join the ranks of the rank and file. This puts the two spearman regiments up to 15 skeletons each.
The total size of the Skeleton Horde is now 60 models, aiming for 63 models when the other four armored skeleton cavalry units are done. Quite the horde!
