The Army: Vampire Counts

Run as Undead Legions at Fall of the Old World 2 

Lined up for some painting votes... 

My run down of how the army ran in its first tournament will follow, along with better pics of the completed units, but put briefly I lost 3 for 3. It was fun, but I didn't do enough damage to my opponents, and was slaughtered in my last game against Dale's vicious DE/Carmine Dragon list.

Vampire Counts: Characters

This first of my more detailed pics, and some short biographies of the key dramatis personae....

Genevieve du Sang (Neferata)

Matriarch of the du Sang Family, Genevieve was responsible for the corruption of this once-proud House of Bretonnia. She is also behind the insidious rise of Deiter Kriersdorf from hedge wizard to Master Necromancer.

Erasmus Gruber, Marie du Sang (Isabella von Carstein), & Deiter Kriersdorf

Marie soon followed her sister into the blood curse, proving to be an adept student of both combat and magicks. She formed a close bond with Kriersdorf and his apprentice, Gruber, raising countless dead warriors to the family's cause.

Vorash &Vorysh, the Brothers in Blood

No-one remembers the arrival of the Strigoi princes, but the horde of ghouls that followed would not be forgotten. Little more than savage beasts, the Du Sang family keeps their blood cousins as a powerful pair of weapons to be unleashed on their foes - either together or individually.

And we're ready for war...

It's taken just over 3 months off and on, painting nothing else besides, but we're there (a minor injury to Skin Wolf 3 asides - that's setting with a pin right now)...

 

The Family du Sang lines up for battle... 

Neferata, Isabella, 2 Strigoi, 2 Necromancers, 1 Corpse Cart, 50 Zombies, 30 Skeletons, 45 Ghouls, 3 Skin Wolves (counts as Crypt Horrors), 11 Dire Wolves, 3 Spirit Hosts, 5 Hexwraiths, 2 Cairn Wraiths, 1 Banshee, 2 Morghast Archai, and a Terrorgheist... somewhere in the region of 150 models in the time it normally takes me to paint 20 then lose interest!

Individual unit profiles to follow when I get the chance.
