Fanny's Vampire Counts

[Fanny Crowbar]

After much pondering, I have decided to start a painting log for my Vampire Counts army and a separate one for my Warriors of Chaos which I am painting alongside. My Many Things log will now solely be used for any other models I am working on that don't fit under either of these armies.

My reasoning is that with dedicated PLogs that I have had in the past, I have stuck to one or two armies and kept focused. I have many half painted minis and to be frank I'm getting nowhere.

So here it is, my Vampire army so far:


Firstly I'll (re)introduce my Vampire Lord. This model is converted using the Vampire from the Zombie Dragon and a Chaos Steed and show different stages of painting so far.

Next up are my Wight King and the Vampiress from the Coven Throne.





I chose the green armour as I feel it has a ghostly look to it. I paint it using the prescribed GW method for Dark Eldar as I love their scheme, but didn't want to use it for my Dark Eldar army.

My Terrorgheist

[Lord Skrolk]

Wicked minis and paint job. Loving the paint job, think I might have to poach that myself. Roughly what paints and stages are neeeded? X

[Fanny Crowbar]

Thanks

Colours in order are:

Incubi Darkness > Coelia Greenshade > Kabalite Green > Sybarite Green > watered down Hellion Green > Waywatcher Green

[Elfboy]

Looking great so far. Is the terrorgheist finished, or are you going to add some more to the base?
Look forward to seeing this progress, you paint so beautifully.

Looking good. I really like the dark green colour scheme you've gone with, haven't seen it on vamps before. This should be interesting.

[Shadow_Steed]

Looks promising =) !

Lovely painting - very impressive- love the dark green scheme nice to see it on vamps as opposed to Dark Eldar.

Wow really cool work Love the way you use the colours. Impressed love the countess and the knight. Cool conversion. Keep it coming

[Confessor_Atol]

Man, I had my doubts about that blue/green, but now I'm seeing it more I love it. Looks really great with that splash of red. I might even encourage you to add a touch more red on your mounted vamp. That's personal taste I suppose, but whatever the case, great job. Tob notch painting as always!

[Vaiuri]

Lovely work, I really, really like the green, its good to see a non-classic vamp colour working as well as that! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the army

[Purplebeard]

The armour is impressive. GW have made some lovely models recently (though there are still plenty of clangers to moan about). I think that the use of the DE scheme on the Undead is very clever - I would not have thought of it. The vampiress looks especially sinister.

[Fruhauf]

Coven vamp looks fantastic, keep it up!

[azhagmorglum]

Brilliant work !! The green armour complements nicely the red robes and your painting is top notch. Keep it up !

[Niekish]

Wow, I really, really like the armour you painted there on the first Vampire, absolutely amazing.
Don't get me wrong, I like the rest aswell!

[glenning]

Looking great so far - can't wait to see more!!

[Eldorad]

The completed Coven Throne Vampiress.

She's awesome! Lovely paintjob.

[Fanny Crowbar]

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. I was wary of the green armour at first, until I added the red and then it really started to work for me.

Five Crypt Ghouls. I'm currently working on a Crypt Horror.

[pointyteeth]

Great looking ghouls. Nice subtle change to the GW scheme. The blood effect is well done too, tamiya clear red?
