Hot Halloween take; no matter what it is, it’s automatically cool if it’s skeletal undead or an orc. Orcish pugilists? Shambling Byzantine taghmatoi? Orc ninja versus skeletal samurai? Awesome. This is not just because big green or gray dudes are cooler with tusks, this is also because skulls are cool, as we all learned in high school. Nigh unstoppable, possibly unthinking, a skeleton is basically like a robot and robots are cool, but with a skull, so that makes it AWESOME.
I cite Necrons as proof of the inherent coolness of skeletons. Even Arnie couldn’t make a skeleton robot cooler. Literally the only way to make skeleton robots cooler is to give them glowing plasma weapons, possibly cyclopean eyes, spidery legs or an anti grav platform.
Related hot take, GW should totally bring back translucent green plastic parts, that was unusually awesome.
