Vampire Counts: Black Knights on Spectral Steeds

These were a blast to make. Fireforge horses, with converted riders "wearing" Mantic's skeleton heads and GW's skeleton arms. I also sculpted a simple shield design to give them a little more undead'ish look. 
One of my first finished units for the VC army and the most fun to field.

Vampire Counts: Blood Knights

While I documented the conversion and sculpting, I never really followed up with finished photos.

Vampire Counts: Grave Guard & Wight King

Since I've been on an ebay selling spree, I've decided to finally part ways with my warhammer fantasy VC army. Good times were had at Yggdrasil Games, but ever since the store closed down, I haven't had a chance to put them on a table ever again. These following posts are mostly to catalog what I painted in case something ends up leaving my cupboard.

Firstly, my great VC hammer. A mix match of Gripping Beast vikings with GW skeleton warriors bits, greenstuff, Mantic's skeletons and GW's propper grave guard (old and new).



Never a fan of painting standards, mostly due to irredeemable proof that I can't freehand

Said irredeemable proof that I can't freehand. This is my Wight King with BSB, a dwarf king made with a Mantic's dwarf body and GW's Skeleton Warrior parts and a spiffy greenstuffed crown.



One thing I do not miss from this game, is trying to fit all these in the movement trays

Dwarf Heavy Crossbow Team

Had a try at greenstuffworld's rollers to add some interesting bits to the base. Really happy with them.

World War Toons T-34

Haven't build a model kit in a while but these were a blast do assemble and paint.

Dracula's America, Old West follies

Having participated on the Dracula's America Forbidden Power, I found myself with a sizable collection of minis to paint. 
These were excellently cast and were notoriously smooth to paint.

Northstar's The Red Hand Coven Posse:



Some Artizan Designs's Mexican to play as a Crossroads Cult Posse:



Northstar's The Salem Sisterhood Posse:



The two freebies that came as the Nickstarter's rewards, plus an old Games Workshop Fury as my devil and a Westwind Jack the Ripper from their Empire of the Dead range.



The whole family

obviously too big for the lightbox

For the Kriels!

Like I said previously on this post, I parted ways with my Hordes collection of Trollbloods (and some Skorne still in sprues). These are some photos of the collection I had before they left my cupboard.

Last things I painted, perfectly reminding my how much I hated Privater Press's plastic. Never fielded.

The greatest warlock I had. And 100% the reason why most games ended with an assassination.

Tarpit extraordinaire they could hold multiple units and just refuse to die.

Could never get an effective use out of him

Most cost effective unit I ever had, a single combined shot at the start of the game meant that the adversary would spend a whole game avoiding 1/3 of the board.

Painted by my girlfriend, could never field her effectively though. Arm fell off because because pinning I had no idea how to pin properly. 

Warlocks that were never fielded but were still fun to paint.

It was fun to build the base but could never find a reason to use her unfortunately. Pinning was still a mystery to me.

Always fielded as a Bomber, best buddy with Grim

Two of my first painted minis. Household names in 99% of my games.
