Whenever I have skeletons running about, they for some reason tend to be
wearing the dark grey samurai helmets and samurai armor. It makes them look
quite a bit more menacing than just having naked skeletal warriors running
about. It's also nice that they're wearing armor that's very different from
the regular Castle guys - makes them seem like they're from a different time,
wearing the armor they were buried with...
Apart from that, I've used the samurai armor on my Dragoons (see a few posts
ago, this ng).
Other accessories from non-Castle that work well: my Royal Herald (which I
will put pictures of up shortly) uses a RK King body with a blue cape, the
Samurai Swordsman's head, and a blue bandanna on top - it sort of looks like
one of those medieval floppy hats. He's also carrying a WW bugle.
The Bat Lord looks far more menacing when you put a Stingrays head on him.
I've got 4 and I plan to use them in upcoming Castle setups as some sort of
inhuman race.
I've made a sort of spear/lance thing for one of my Dragoons (not pictured
though) out of a black antenna, a lightsaber handle, and an Aquazone harpoon.

Hey Cool! Mind if I snitch that idea? ;)

My Heralds use King Leo's body and wear the peasant coif. They are also
equipped with WW Bugles.

Never tried that one, but Darth Maul's head looks really evil in that helmet.
The eyes almost look like they're glowing. :)

Too bad they don't make silver light sabre blades or antennae. That'd be cool
on your lance.
