I'm going to go backwards with my 7TV collection. Largely because I have photos of the more recent stuff but not much of the earlier stuff. For those who don't know, 7TV is a game that allows you to recreate your favourite scenes from films and tv, particularly classic tv series of the 1970-80s. But the conceit is that you're actually playing the making of the film or tv episode, rather than the scene itself - so your faithful re-enactment of Dr Who v the Daleks is played out like an episode of a tv series, rather than a "straight" skirmish game. The idea is that immense hilarity ensues.
Anyway, at the beginning of the year the boys and I watched the Indiana Jones and the Mummy films and I spent much of the next 6 months building up a "pulp" collection that covered these movies, Beau Geste, and a number of other things. That's coming next. These skeletons grew out of the idea of a guard for a mummy character - rather than the standard Egyptian-looking skeleton guard, I wanted skeletons that looked as if they represented the dead of the Middle East over the past thousand years - so a mix of armour and weapons. Most of these figures were bought off ebay - I was having a bit of an "Oldhammer" moment but did enjoy painting these. I think they are a mix of Citadel and Marauder Miniatures. I base all my 7TV figures on grey bases - this is largely because the figures will be used in all manner of settings and I've noticed that a lot of 7TV players use grey as a "neutral" base colour. The figures can also fit in very easily with my "Frostgrave" collection. This is the first of a trio of fantasy postings I'll make over the next few days.
9 figures. Painted May 2024.

I like those Giles! A good idea to mix and match the periods for the game.
Some super looking skeletons on show, very nicely done, will look out ofr the next instalment.
Great work on the skeletons Giles. From your overview 7TV seems like a fun set of rules and quite flexible.
