Danielle's Birthday presents! VAMPIRE COUNTS!

HI everyone Danielle's birthday was Saturday the 15th and for her birthday one of her presents was A ton of Vampire counts for her birthday, some of which I've began painting in a rush  to have done for Saturday lol for her to start off we'll begin with first explaining the themes...

Its pretty basic, an all Vampire undead army based off a lot of very popular Vampire films, Vampire lore, and Vampiric stories, the colour choices are of coarse dark pallets with light contrasts here and there. The overall theme for the bases is Crypt/graveyard undead forests, and are Heavily sprayed with Moot green to simulate this effect:




The undead Green ghoulish fog that follows all the undead and vampire counts everywhere they skulk!

VLAD THE IMPALER "ghoul King"
I based him around Bram stokers Dracula, I gave him the shield to match Dracula's armor, and sculpted his armor and painted it red, to also match. I had decided to do a three from inspiration from him, Hes got the armor from Vlad as a human, The ghoulish white skin when Dracula is old and haggard, but the ghoulish look of when Dracula is a beast, both the wolf like beast, and the one that Jonathan Harker confronts while he's seducing Mina Harker!









He still needs a few things such the end of the Ghouls sword needs to be found as it re broke off, finish painting the sword, He needs a few armor highlights, than matte Varnish him to take the gloss off, and last but not least blood for the blood god his tongue!

I'm surprised he turned out as good as he did considering he was a rushed project!

As well as the display banner I want to free hand something similar to this:

All the parts are as follows: The body arms legs and head Are from the Ghoul Rider from the Terrorgheist/Vampire lord boxset, as well as the hook chain skull head o his belt! The broken sword hand is From the Vampire lord from the same kit! I just cut the ghoul claw hand off and swapped it!

The neck tie! swinging back chain skulls, as well as the shield are all from the Black Knights boxset, and the Skull emblem on the neck tie is compliments of the 40k khorne berzerkers ripper blade! heres tons of Photos of the Build: 
















KRELL LORD OF UNDEATH:












ISABELLA VON CARSTEINS' Base:

VAMPIRE COUNTS LOST BOYS 1980's inspired STANDARD/OBJECTIVE MARKER

I painted this up on a whim while watching comedy skits on youtube, I thought it was a funny cartoonish throwback to early 90's horror movies, as well as old 1990's warhammer!
