Well I have discovered a couple guys willing to help me out with a few things. I am really excited for this. Been a long time coming.

I've posted up some site on the appearance of orcs a goblins thread while I search for some proxy orcs. I don't like the GW muscle bound versions and a lot of the others just don't cut the mustard for me.
I would like to see some proxy Fimm though,

I don't know why, these "Bog raiders" are the closest but just don't do it for me and the forge world versions are far too large.

I've mixed up a lot of stuff, from GW for Ogres to Reaper for heroes and monsters (I just pick the ones that scale best, and put them on a HQ base made out of milliput. I have molds for those. Stick in some milluput and then the model, let it dry, take it out and paint!)

I think there's another proxy thread somewhere here with many pictures and examples of other models and size comparisons.

Maybe have a look at some of these:

Has anyone come across some suitable skeleton archers?

[knightkrawler]

Reaper has some, readily available, as metal and, I think, also as Bones.
But the awesomeness is in the defunct I-Kore's line Celtos. I have some of those.

[Redav]

Yup, I meant to have included other than Reaper. Those ones look interesting. A pity they're defunct, they're are probably really hard to come by.

[knightkrawler]

In Australia, yeah, I guess so. In the US I've seen a sizeable ebay market for them.
The minis themselves shouldn't be unaffordable (around 2-3 quid apiece), but your shipping cost...
Of course, older Warhammer editions had plastic skeleton archers, too.

[Diggin]

Of course, older Warhammer editions had plastic skeleton archers, too.

That's a good one. The plastic skeleton cavalry and chariot rider sprues came with one archer's arm for each rider. you might want to check bit boxes or sites like Hoard o bits for archer arms.
Or just go for the latest tomb kings archers, they're probably more beefy than the old plastics and maybe there's some egyptian style to it.
