Greetings Terrans, I have more Vampiric goodies to share with you today – I was going to spread these out over several posts, but I’m starting to get myself all mixed up over what to share and when… I’m just going to get all these out there in the name of simplification – it’s a bit of a photo dump, but there isn’t much to say that hasn’t already been said about the Vamps we have seen so far – hopefully you’ll just sit back and enjoy the show :-)
Fist up is three different versions of the Commemorative Series mini ‘Anasta Malkorion, Vampire Lord’:
The conversions were fun, and I found that Daughters of Khaine bits fit in quite nicely. I really like the thought of a Vampire archer… quite edgy in a world where a wooden stake through the heart is a sore subject!
.
Next we have ‘Kritza the Rat Prince’:
Great model to paint, but a bugger to photograph…
.
Next is Lady Annika, the Thirsting Blade:
Brilliant model, a real pleasure to paint.
.
Next is the generic Vampire Lord mini:
He’s a good enough model, but I just couldn’t take the stupid hair bats seriously & so they had to go :-)
.
Next is a 3D printed Vampire from Mark at HeresyofUs:
He was fun to paint, though I found the detail to be a bit too soft to do a great job with Contrast paints. Still the wet-blending was nice, and he is a worthy addition to the Vamp crew.
.
Next is the now out-of-production Warhammer Underworlds Crimson Court:
Brilliant models – I have no idea why GW took them out of production! If you get a chance to grab some then I strongly urge you to do so!
.
Talking of out-of-production, I used some Birthday money (thanks M&D!!) to grab a set of Deathrattle Sepulchral Guard when I spotted them on the GW ‘last chance to buy’ page:
Again, brilliant models, and I specifically painted them to go well with the Crimson Court… notice how tall the Vamps are compared to the human skellies!
.
Oh, and I also turned the alternate torso & head from Lauka Vai into a themed objective marker:
.
And finally, here’s the whole Vampire family group shots:
Phew!! And that’s all folks – well done for sticking with it! You are now up to date with everything Vampire related in my hobby world.
Next up, strap in for a journey into the Eightpoints as the lure of Chaos finally claims my soul…
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
Great collection of bloodsuckers Alex, and the skelies look great too, always surprises me when GW stops producing a model, especially with how much it costs to get the initial mould made, guess it could be down to bad design on the moulds and they wear out too quickly.
Cheers dude, glad you like ‘em, and I’m sure they’ll rerun them again at some point
Jesus Christ, these are phenomenal! Excellent sculpts and amazing painting that really brings out the horror and even melancholy of vampires’ existence. I love the muted reds and greens, the undead skin tones, and just the overall work. Fantastic stuff!
Cheers dude, I am chuffed tbh – I had the image in my head, but sometimes the atmosphere doesn’t quite make it to the finished model. I think that it did in this case, which is very pleasing 😁
That sure is a whole lot of Vampires! My favourite is the triplets you’ve made out of the commemorative minis – it’s remarkable how different they all look. In my mind they’re the Charlie’s Angels of Age of Sigmar.
😂 cheers dude!
Damn Alex! You may not have been posting much lately, but you’ve been busy painting up some bloody(!) great looking bloodsuckers and skellingtons – and really creepy looking, too!
Do you have any plans to use these for any specific game(s)?
Cheers Az – glad you like ‘em mate, and yeah, it’s been a weird time lately! The painting has been ticking over in the background though😊
No specific plans for these other than as cool accompaniments to the Cursed City set… I have half a hunch that some of these may get rules expansions for that game, but not too bothered if they don’t 😊
Fantastic work- there are some lovely character models there.
Cheers,
Pete.
Cheers mate, agreed – there are some absolute belters 😊👍
Great sculpts and great paint jobs Alex. Far to hard to pick a winner without making my brain hurt so I wont! I do love the detail on each of the figures so I can see why you enjoyed painting them and then being satisfied with the end results. 🙂
Cheers mate, I am so chuffed. Modern GW really do hit the right notes more often than not when it comes down to detail, texture, posing, etc.
Makes them very rewarding to paint 😊
More wonderful and very creepy vamps there mate.
Cheers Roger.
Cheers Roger, they’re a good bunch aren’t they? Great fun to paint 👍
Wow, some great models (with gorgeous hairstyles, I have to say!). Pretty solid work here!
Cheers mate, I’m really pleased with the results 😊
Awesome work!! These all look fantastic, or should I say “FANG-tastic”? I’m sorry, I’ll see myself out! :D
😂 excellent! Cheers IM, that made me chuckle 🤘
Absolutely brilliant man!!! I love every model and the paint work is exceptional. The colour choices take me back to your work on The Chapel. I’m starting to get an itch to paint vampires now hehe. That 3D print is quite nice but I often find the details “soft” too. It’ll be one of those things that only get better now though. Last night I saw a YouTube where you can 3D scan just about anything and then 3D print it. The better the photo quality the better the print will be. Amazing.
Keep up the incredible work Alex, very impressive.
Thanks matey, yeah, they do have that vibe don’t they? I’m enjoying the horror stuff that GW are doing these days, it’s a nice change from hard fantasy I find 👍
I’m still on the fence with 3D printing… terrain is good, but the minis always seem to be underwhelming imo 😕
Terrain is pretty good but minis aren’t perfect… yet
A marvelous group of figures Alex, the objective marker certainly caught my eye!!
Cheers mate, it’s an alternate build for the bat-dragon lady, so I thought I’d use it uo
Nice work! The archer variant is probably my favourite, we don’t see enough pew-pew vampires in Warhammer if you ask me.
Cheers mate – I agree! Vamp archers are a very obvious gap in my opinion :-)
