right so atm im a bit bleh with the hobbym BUT the new vampire counts stuff has been giving my the hypothetical bone (skellie pun)

so for my band of brother im going to do vampire counts
well i found these 2 in a bits box so i can test colour schemes and shizz


and this is me(in model form for vamps


gonna write an army list when i get the book so bear with me,
rule of thumb is im not going to go overboard with models so i can paint everything and not end up hating it so bear with me please gents and lasses

Cool so far dude, you using lucius's whip on the vampire?

I like the look of the new vampires especially the new grave guard but i'm not gonna get any, I limit myself to just my dark elves for fantasy, plus although the models are very nice i think that £40 for 5 blood knights is pretty ridiculous

the AB is working on my laptop again now woop :lol:

yeah its lucius whip, i got the vampire off my house mate it has no arm also 1 spirit host 1 teeny weeny bat and ive found 1 of 3 ghouls which i can practice my rotting and diseased flesh schemes on and mate im not planning on having blood knights due to the fact there 40 quid for 5 im kind of bumming the varghulfs atm

Nice conversion man. I can't wait to see more of youre stuff. Good luck.

good start, plus from first hand experience the blood knights are terrible fits, not worth the £40 imo, £25-£35 is the amount they should have charged tbh, they are worse than krootox', and landspeeders at going together well

undercoated


just getting round to starting him atm so pip later on or early tomorrow

first real pip update



not too happy with the skin,but he looks vampirey enough i think

Sweet as dude! Love the skin tone.

slight armour update


again i messed it up a bit and cant be bothered re doing it, details basing and metallics next

Looking great, that skin looks just right

the grey skintone looks really good. dead and pale at the same time

cheers guys, just applying the finishing detail touches at the moment so prepare for an update soon

Wow the armour on the vamp looks great as does the skin!

AR

cape update, i really did uhm and aah about this for a while but i think the purple was the right choice, what do you lot think?

Purple looks fantastic but then you only have to look in my plog to see i like the colour!!

AR

the ghost of christmas past?


just undercoated atm, im going to spectral green it when i get in from work

fully finished spirit lol yeah i found 1 in me bits box so i tested out my ghost scheme on it i really love it

Very nice effect there! Looks very spectral. How did you manage it?

sprayed skull white, very very watery dark angels green over the model, when dry a few layers of watered down skull white, eh presto bring out yer dead

i do belive that they was my vampires out of my bit box i got form the workshop for O so very cheap lol

shut it you.....or i'll smash ya, but yeah i know,hm ill whoopa slappa your arse CAPPOW, when i get a small army of vamps we will have to do a bat rep

lol good luck with that, you know how many black orks i got in that £10 box haha some where along 20 or so add that to the one s i got already i think i may just win.

looking good ther`mate cant wait to see more

jeez i don't log on until now and in that time you have finished all the vampire stuff you have lol.

the vampire looks very nice the skin is perfect as is the shade of purple used on the cloak, my favourite part is the armour, how did you do it?

The spirit looks very nice to you just use a green wash on it?

i've had a rummage through my bits for you found the krell i was on about and 2 old undead mummies theres a few boxes that i missed tho so i'll have another look for you 2moz.

thanks mate, krell wont be needed as im staying away from wights as much as possible but have a gander through the other boxes, the armour,
chaos black undercoat
scab red chaos black mix half way up the armour on all raised edges, then red ink,then hightlight pure blood red,then red ink

ghost, undercoat white, heavily wtaered down dark angels green.work upto white on raise edges

righto, well i hate this whip with all my soul, painting it i mean not the look, all ive got left to do no on this model is the pouch on his hip, highlight the whip and do the metallics(which isnt much)will have it finished tonight,

thing is, should i add static grass or no?

right well its finished in its entirety now



still uhming an aahing at the static grass on the base, probably will do it though...thoughts?

lookin good

Very nice vamp there dude, i like how you have done the whip in a neutral colour makes the armour and face stand out more.

MAD. that looks sweet.

[ :blink: i didnt swear, OH NO]

Keep up the good work Smurf boy.

looks realy good eidy, are you gonna do more vampires?

Think the Vamp looks great and the skin works.

yes bram,put my deposit down for the new army book, bought some zombies(which atm im assembling)next on the actual vampire list will be a strigoi(i hate the new vampire models with a passion)
pic update later

right little update, first 6 zombies(one is a conversion from the command frame you get in the box,but in the new book zombies dont get command now so i did a freshly raised one)


hope you like, C&C welcome/wanted

a slightly uneccasery update but something i <3
notice the 2 conversions...no


CLOSE UP!

Nice work man, loving these zombies.

BRAIINNSSS EPPPPAAAARRR

Looking cool, didn't go with the feet poking out upside down though like you were suggesting? Would have been amusing :D

ive still got 15 zombies yet to do so yes! i am gonna have 2 more "raised" zombies,one being upside down lol
hence me turning a box of 20 zombies into 24
