BLOOD DRAGON DISPLAY
From the pictures of the models on the base you can see that each fits on the
appropriate part of the terrain. This need for consistency resulted in
bases that are plainer than I normally build but does not [IMHO] detract from
the models. The base was built out of 3mm plastic card and then the
terrain was built up with 3mm and 2mm card. I then added air drying
modeling clay around the card to give it the natural structure I was after.
During the smoothing and sculpting process I used a glue water mixture to make
sure the clay would be hard enough to endure gaming. I then added
greenstuff in areas to build it up more and to give it more detail. I
graveled the road with fine balast, added static grass in areas as well as some
larger stone bits. Then I sculpted the tree trunks to make it look like a
cleared wooded area. The four impaled models were built up from zombies
and the Empire command sprue. The Vampire Counts symbol on the front of
the base is from Bulldog [which to my surprise is no longer working with GW].
*If anyone knows how to get a hold
of Bulldog stuff please
e-mail me. I
would appreciate it greatly.
DRAGON
PRINCE VAMPIRE LORD
This ancient High Elf Dragon Prince fell into shadow many centuries ago.
His age and the taint of undeath have caused his skin to become an icy blue.
The model is very dark and unfortunately the purple/red of the crests did not
turn out in the pictures. I wanted his face to be the main focal point and
I think I achieved that. The golds help to provide contrast for the
model and allowed me to paint detail on the armour. The model was built
from the following pieces: HE Dragon Prince body, Imrik, Lord of Dragons sword
and throne back, DE shield from Tyrion's base, HE Dragon Prince steed head and
tail, Empire steed body. More pictures can be found
here.
WIGHT
LORD
This model was done in a brighter silver NMM than his master. I wanted him
to stand out and the irony of bright steel plates on a dark soul was perfect.
The horse is a dark chocolate colour that didn't really show up that well in the
pictures. I wanted the horse to be subtle since horses don't usually have
harsh highlights. The model has some freehand symbols on the plate barding
adding to the lordly nature of the figure. The model was made from the
following parts: Mounted priest of Sigmar body, hammer handle and steed,
wight cavalry head, wings from Prince Tyrion's steed, sword from the Space
Marine Commander. More pictures can be found here.
MERCENARY
COMMANDER VAMPIRE THRALL
While this model is not converted he is perfect for the roll as a fallen Dogs of
War commander. He was painted to be a companion piece to the lord, hence
the similarity in appearance. While I have never been a big fan of the
face of this model it works well for an undead figure. The armour is also
very impressive in it's historical look, something I never noticed until I was
painting it. More pictures can be found
here.
