Undead armies have been a staple of fantasy folklore for centuries. The idea of fallen warriors rising again, still clutching their weapons, still marching under a tattered banner — it's one of those themes that never really gets old. This set leans into that idea brilliantly, and the sculpts back it up.
The Skeleton Miniatures Set 3 from Epic Miniatures gives you nine distinct characters in one go. You've got infantry, cavalry, casters, and command figures — genuinely the makings of a proper undead warband rather than a handful of similar poses. The variety here is what makes it worth picking up.
Looking across the sculpts, the detail is consistently strong. The mounted skeleton king carrying a banner is a real standout — the flowing flag, the spiked crown, the armoured horse all read clearly even at miniature scale. The robed lich-style caster holding a staff and an orb has a fantastic silhouette. The hooded skeleton with sword and shield is crouched in a genuinely dynamic guard stance. The skeleton archer feels purposeful rather than static. Every figure has something going on.
These are 3D-printed in resin at 28–32mm scale, so they sit comfortably alongside most fantasy tabletop ranges. The surface detail — bone texture, fabric folds, engraved armour panels — holds up well. Priming with a grey or bone base coat will help pick out all of that before you layer any washes over it. A simple dark wash does most of the work honestly.
If you like this style of sculpting, it's worth having a browse through the broader Epic Miniatures range — they do a lot of sets with this kind of thematic depth and consistent quality across the pieces. Good designers to follow if undead and dark fantasy are your thing.
We also stock the Undead Army Skeleton Miniature by Tytan Troll if you want to mix things up a bit or bulk out your force with a slightly different aesthetic. Both sets work well on the same table without clashing.
If you're building out an undead encounter, a necromancer's warband, or just want a well-sculpted set of skeleton miniatures that aren't all standing in the same pose — this one's well worth it. Head over to the product page and grab yours.
