Melkhior On Winged Nightmare pt.1

I started working on one of the iconic Vampire Counts models from the 90's era: Melkhior the ancient on his Winged Nightmare! I really enjoy painting this model. Since Melkhior is truly an ancient vampire, the first vampire of the Necrarch bloodline I wanted to make his skin look very old, almost corpse-like. I like the final result. I also wanted to give him a magical blade, so I painted it in my signature green tones. :) I just realized while posting this that I missed to paint the stone on his necklace. Apart from that, he is done! Now it's time to paint his bellowed beast, the Winged Nightamre that he rides.

Vampire Lady

I have finished the first countess for my Vampire Counts army! This model was sent to me by Axia Painting Studio and it hasn't been released yet, but it will be soon in their next kickstarter. I really dig the mini and think it's superior to recent female vampires released by Games Workshop. It is a bit absurd and over the top but in a good way. :) I used this opportunity to introduce a new color to my existing color scheme (black/red/bright green): Stormy Blue by Vallejo which I will be using sparingly on some of my characters, mostly females.

End Of Altburg Market Campaign

I'm not dead, although it's been more then 5 weeks since my last post. :) I've been very busy with Tabletop World's Altburg Market kickstarter and didn't have time for private stuff (read: Undead) :D
That being said here are the last few showcases that I made for Tabletop World:

Farmer Stall

Potter Stall

Baker Stall

Working on this project and bringing the medieval Town Square to life was real fun. However I do miss painting models for my Vampire Counts army and I'm happy that I will have more time to dedicate to painting Undead. :)
