Tonight’s Projects; Vintage Ral Partha Skeletons and a Bag of Orcs

Working on the last of my vintage Ral Partha skeleton miniatures. This one bears a horn as if to signal  a charge into battle. Overlooking the lack of lungs, and thus the ability to sound a horn, this guy is also ready with his pike and looking dapper in his rotten old fur cloak.

And on the Orc front, I took that Bag of Orcs I’d had waiting and finally primed them, along with the elven archers and other mounted miniatures that were waiting.

I used Rustoleum’s Painters Touch 2X Ultra Cover flat white spray primer. I picked this out because it says it’s good on both metal and plastic. I haven’t had an issue with using regular Rustoleum flat white primer on my plastic miniature bases but I didn’t want to take the risk of suffering deleterious effects to the plastic horses.

I’ll certainly post an update if I have any issues with it.
