Skulls N' Skulls N' Skulls

Today these two small pots full of tiny pewter skulls arrived. There are roughly 200 skulls here.

That's what you get for having a pal who works at Reaper Mini. The little skulls are used as agitators in their paint bottles. They're rarely seen by human eyes, as their purpose in life is to be shaken around inside the bottle to mix the paint nicely. After the bottle is empty, one would normally just toss it away unless one feels like slicing open the bottle to get the single 25mm-scale skull. Getting an entire pot full of these clean little skulls is a hell of a coup, and I'm very, very happy.

Aspect Shrine... here we come...

Hmmm who do I have to sleep with to get some of those?!
Seriously though, very nice catch of bits for terrain purposes! I'm jealous!

"unless one feels like slicing open the bottle" I thought the dropper end popped out? I ordered some empty reaper bottles and they came with the skulls and it's very easy to pop out the dropper end.
