You could get some Spear tips and Halberd's on them (from somewhere). But the bent shaft and odd grin may not work at all. Maybe make a pitch fork end out of green stuff and a paperclip?

At least with the goblins, orcs, and fimir, you can add shields and change the weapons easily enough. Maybe you could cut the heads off and glue them back on at different angles? Sickly unnatural angles. If appears that removing the right Arm is do able, but then where would the proper scale donor come from?

I've painted my 4 HQ skeletons and I've decided to just print the witch lord rather than have to paint more!

Good luck!

I got so tired of painting HQ mini's. I think I have done 4 full basic sets and a bunch of extra skeletons so far. I still have about 100 HQ mini's without paint. I had to move on and get other mini's to paint. Looking at the same dudes got old.

Working on painting a 28mm mounted archer, and 5 old school Warhammer archer Orks'.
Archer Orks make for nasty opponents. Specially if the heroes can't get good movement dice rolls.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

If you just want a different Skeleton, the ones from Wargames factory might be right. They are slimmer, but variable.

Here are the orc heads again, with some work done, I wanted a contemporary look with the classic feel, no GW. What do you think and which ones do you like?

As for the skeletons have a look at these

Here is a site with an Axe wielding Skeleton conversion.: http://www.tiannastarfall.co.uk/gallery/heroquest/heroquest.php. I've seen a converted skeleton archer, but can't remember where (probably here in the gallery).

I really like the heads you've got there, especially # 6

are you going to use that on a 3D printer?

If there is enough interest then maybe a conversion/multi-part set can be made up and then I would hand them over to Thanos and see what happens, like with the sorcerer re-vamp I did last year. For the moment though I would 3D print them if I wanted, but am happy with just playing around.

I made 2 goblin archers. What do you guys think? The knuckles are a bit bigger than the normal ones, but not too much.
Believe it or not, that pic made me realise I've missed their nails, I'll do them later on.

Goblin archers are a favorite of mine! Gun and run. Get the heroes caught up in a circuitous hall fight with a handful of archer goblins spread out around the board....fun fun fun.
