I bought 4 units of Dave's mini's and I'd certainly buy some Tomb King style Skeletons as well.

That's very kind of you to provide the numbers Dave. No secret information obviously, but it would take a little work to get them.

If you're only going to do 5 strips why not start with archers? Those don't really need a command strip, so 5 variants will fill a unit evenly, assuming you're planning 5 strips per base. Failing that, a 2.5k KS would handle it:
Personally, I think the current archers are nondescript enough to apply to either army. Even the WFB TK archers are only differentiates by a couple of models wearing light headgear.

Personally, the horsemen would be my next target, but I imagine their sculpting cost would increase by at least threefold per model.

Horsemen with correct shields / banner would be wonderful. I guess you don't need as much variety for cavalry, there's only 3 strips of 2 for Chaos Knights for example.  Might that cut the cost?

Hey guys - sorry for the lack of updates, but we had some really bad medically-related news in the past couple of weeks. Been doing a lot of hospital visits and the like.

My next step is to send Bob some WM Skeletons as a size comparison - I should have those in the mail tomorrow.

Oh my goodness that's beautiful! Consider them sold (to me, at least).
