Citadel Skulls

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.
