WIP Stage 2 - Female Vampire Count

Areas painted yesterday were the Hair, Red Robes, Armour as well as black shading on key areas.

Hair was Codex Grey base coat, Fortress grey highlight, Skull White highlight, Bleached Bone dry brushing, Ogre Flesh wash, Sunburst yellow highlighting. Had to make additional touch ups to face and chest due to run off from hair colour.


Black shading put in suitable areas such as tops of armor, between upper chest and hair, top of bodice, around bottom edge of helmet and between legs etc. Skulls currently WIP with only a layer of Bleached Bone, Flesh Wash, Bleached Bone, and Ogre Wash applied so far

Black wash added to armor areas along with Chain mail highlighting, still to be completed with Mithril Silver etc.


Red and Purple robes washed with Badab Black, Chaos Black then used within recesses and on folds etc for highlighting. Scab Red and Blood red then followed for highlighting.

WIP - Vampire Counts Female Vampire

My current project and one I am enjoying a fair bit after putting it off for some time. Had to ask my wifes opinion on what the various items of clothing were as I couldn't really tell what was what. Blue coloured bodice was also her idea. Completed Skin, Bodice and necklace last night - first model where I have focused on specific parts aiming to complete them individually rather than doing the whole model layer by layer.


Flesh colour was achieved with a base coat of Tanned Flesh followed by a layer of Flesh Wash (which is fast running out and is sadly no longer in production) then Dwarf Flesh, Elf Flesh and a few layers of Ogre Flesh Wash.

Finally got this little guy done last night, was a must take solo unit in the old Mk1 rules and this has not changed under MK2. The glossy shine on this and the Seneschal is from GW Purity Seal. White cloak is slightly dirty for this model as I washed it with Sepia Wash several times.

Exemplar Seneschal completed

Completed a couple of small projects this week, first up is the Exemplar Seneschal one of two I have to finish. Model was tricky to paint as the I had fully assembled it first and the standard pose made some areas hard to get at. Final effort is a bit messy with mold lines visible in a couple of places, but overall I am pretty happy with it.
