This week we’re going to take a look at a group of skeletal honor guard that was inspired by a fit of irreverence (and a few beers while painting them). I had picked up a pack of both the Skeleton Guardian Archers and Skeleton Guardian Axemen from the Reaper Bones line. Each of these packs came with three of the same figure. While painting the axemen, I decided that I was going to give each of them a different color, and chose red, blue, and green. It was then I realized that I had chosen half of the classic Power Rangers color scheme and still had three archers to paint – so I settled on yellow, black, and pink for those three. The color was all muted somewhat with a sepia wash over everything to give it a grimy, undead feeling, but I knew then and there that I would need to create an adventure around these skeletons. In the meantime, I figured they would make a perfect honor guard for the Malek, Necromancer figure I was going to paint next. And yes, I did contemplate giving him a Zordon color scheme but decided that might be too on the nose. Presented below are the stats for both the axemen and archers that make up Malek’s honor guard.<\/p>\n
