Product Overview The Citadel Skulls box is a comprehensive "bits" set designed for detail-oriented hobbyists. It contains a massive collection of plastic skulls in various sizes and styles, specifically created to add environmental detail, character-driven narrative elements, and grim realism to your miniatures and basing projects. Key Specifications Contents: 340 individual plastic skulls Variety: Human, Ork, Tau, Kroot, Genestealer, and others Purpose: Basing detail, terrain decoration, and miniature conversion Features and Benefits Unmatched Variety: With over 300 skulls, the set covers a wide spectrum of the Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar settings. It includes everything from standard human skulls to grotesque, multi-jawed alien craniums. Basing Enhancements: Adding a few skulls to a model’s base is the fastest way to convey the lethality of a battlefield. They are perfect for showing the aftermath of a combat-heavy engagement. Terrain Customization: Use these to decorate scenery pieces—stack them on ruins, impale them on spikes for Chaos-themed terrain, or scatter them around objective markers to make your tabletop feel truly war-torn. Conversion Potential: Advanced hobbyists use these for "kitbashing." They can be added to belts, banners, weapon trophies, or even to the hands of characters to demonstrate their prowess in battle. Hobby Tips Removal: Since these are small parts on a sprue, use your side cutters to remove them carefully. Because of their size, I recommend using your hobby knife to clean up any remaining connection points so they sit flush on your bases. Painting Skulls: Base Coat: Start with a light color like Wraithbone or Corax White. Shading: A wash of Agrax Earthshade is ideal for skulls; it flows into the eye sockets and nasal cavities, instantly defining the bone structure. Highlighting: Once dry, a light drybrush of white or an off-white color will make the bone look aged and weathered. Strategic Placement: Don't overcrowd a single base. A few skulls placed near the feet of a model, perhaps partially buried in texture paint like Armageddon Dust, look much more realistic than a mountain of them. Glue: Because these are plastic, use a tiny amount of plastic glue to attach them to your bases. If you are attaching them to an already painted model or metal surface, a small drop of super glue is more appropriate.
