Finally managed to finish up my 5 more skeleton warriors over the weekend. I guess painting skeletons are much faster then painting the Empire swordmen as compared. Most likely cos the skeletons are not really dressed, just in naked bones… haha.
I have painted 10 more skeleton warriors to add to my current unit of 20, making it 30 skeleton warrior. I am still counting and deciding how many should I field for my horde of skeleton warriors, thinking between 30 or 40 skeleton warriors. I can imagine fighting the horde of skeletons, and they are undead, so most likely the fight will last a few turns before a victor side emerge.
Any Vampire Count players can share their thoughts of having a horde of how many skeletons and the strategy on the battlefield?

i think it depends if you are giving them spears or not if you are going with hand weapons i would stay with 30 as your invocation will keep them up to strength and all will get to attack but if the have spears i like 40 just so in horde formation i get 41 attacks when recieving a charge or in second round of combat
Thanks… Mine Skeletons are all armed with arm and shield, guess I will up it to horde of 40. This reminds me I have forgotten about my last 10 Skeleton Warriors.. haha… more painting… cheers!
In my 3000pt Vampire Counts Army I have two hordes of 50 skeletons and one block of 15/20 skeletons and they work great!
Cool! Which reminds me of my 10 more skeletons warrirors to go… haha. Cheers!
