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.
