The alternative pose with arm across chest and the screeching/ hissing head are my favourites but it all looks good to me.

Are there any pictures from different angles? I'd like to see a profile shot and couldn't see anything immediately accessible on Felix's site.

That's one more awesome AoW mini. My macho side misses boobage though.
And I'm wondering about the bats, look like they could bend or break of rather easy.

That looks rather splendid- I think i'd go for the screaming face and the sword outstretched. Another really good sculpt from AOW.

Oh definitely photoshopped, but with a good reason, the site offers a way to check all options you can have with the models:

Check it out.

I'm looking at AOW site. I think the minis are ridiculously good. The photos are in Green Stuff. Do they sell the minis this way?

Edit: Alright, i read - the minis comes in white metal.

Eh...I dunno. Something is off about her - and I'm betting it's her head. The bats are cool - as is the pose with the arm across her face - but it's nothing that's going to stand out in my mind. For a miniature, it's good, but for an Avatars of War miniature, it's not that noteworthy.

I am always impressed by the miniatures that come from AoW and I really like this one. Right now the site doesn't give options to change the head but still, this is impressive stuff and I wish they had more High Elves.

Nope, it's even better: you get both heads! And two bats. And two arms..
Great mini, very nicely detailed. Not sure which heads to put on, both are pretty nice. Just wondering how the back of the heads looks.

It's a nice enough model, i'm never a massive fan of female vampire models.

At least he didn't go down the heaving-bosem-geeks-wet-dream route.

My god! It's a female model without ridiculous boobs or a steel bikini. That's like the 3rd sign of the Apocalypse or something.

Oh and you can all thank my friend Liam for this. It was only Friday other day that he said "I looked at that Avatars of War stuff. It's really good, but it's a pity that they don't have a vampire". Then look what happened!

Much better than 95% of the GW vampires, thats for sure. The "alternative" poses look much better though.

I dislike almost all of GW's vampires and almost all of the huge number that Reaper does. This one I do like (not least because she doesn't have footballs stuck to her chest).
