Vampires WIP

Here is a super easy Necrarch vampire conversion. Face from Corpse Cart and body from Empire Wizard kit.

Koyote, pretty nice conversion on the Necrarch vampire mini... I would like to ask you how did you hold the head of the mage and slice it? did you use a special tool or just handy held it while doing the knife slicing work?
Im pretty bad at self-made joints and I am afraid I will miss up when dealing with the greens.

Nice work on Alyssandra! That's a great looking vampire, in my opinion. The "strategically placed ribbons" don't really bother me all that much - I mean since when have vampires not been seductors/seductresses? It's only natural that a female vampire would choose to appear seductive to lure her victims.

Actually, I like her much better than GW's current vampire models, which are mostly way over the top. I do like the winged vampire lord model, though, and I was a fan of the late 5th/6th ed. vampire models they put out.

Just handy with a knife. I suggest that you use a sharp, straight blade and make many small cuts rather than fewer larger cuts.

That's a really nice job. Very impressed with the face switching. Y'know, the corpse cart sprue also has a bunch of severed heads that would probably look great hanging off of the scythe.

I'm in the planning stages for my own necrach, Malvestrius. He'll have the head from the winged vampire and one of Konrad von Carstein's swords, and I'm gonna base the rest of him off of a flagellant body... once I get my hands on a spare flagellant body...

Thank you very much. Speaking of, I finished painting her.

VERY NICE piece of kit bashing...the new face is VERY in character. AND the Vampire Babe has progressed WONDERFULLY. WELL DONE!
