Help request regarding GW skeletons

Postby Big Bene » September 25th, 2013, 9:19 am

Hi!

For some scale fixing work on my own skeletons I need some measurments of the Greed Workshop ones.
Im speaking of the new skeleton warriors of the vamire counts army - these ones:

(not the old version - Image, and not the tomb king version).

If one of you out there has got these and a calliper, I would be very grateful if he could take the following measurments:
- lower leg from ankle to knee (without foot),
- upper leg (femur) from knee to hip joint
- ribcage full hight
- upper arm lenght
- lower arm length from ellbow to wrist (without hand)

I could buy them myself, but not this week, and I would need the measurements as soon as possible.
So I thought I'd ask if anyone of you can help me...

please? :roll:
Have a look ;)

I think they are the ones I have (I can't tell as the image you have posted is really small).

I'm not sure about how to measure them accurately as I don't have a caliper. I'll see if I can borrow one from somebody

I tried fixing his image links, but they were tiny. So here are bigger ones:

It's not about any preference. Personally, I think Greed Workshop has done a remarkably good job with their new skeletons, but Wargames Factory still make the best. I don't like the Mantic skeletons a lot, but I really love their zombies. It's all in the eye of the beholder, I think.
But the Greed Workshop Skeleton Warriors are the ones my skellies will have to fit scale-wise, as I want customers to be able to interchange bits.

Thanks a lot, that would be great.
I always had a caliper, since my youth - bought new ones as soon as the last was lost or broken. The plastic version costs no more than 2.50€ at any hardware store and I at least find it extremely useful (of course, I don't want to convice yout to buy one just to help me - just make smalltalk about the matter at hand ;) ).
Have a look ;)
