Minature Painting, Scale Modeling, & Other Nerdery

Post by Fairweather Pure »

I looked for a general "minature and scale modeling" type of thread, but we're kind of spread out over 3-4 separate areas. I decided to go ahead and start a fresh topic.

These are the new Vampire Counts minis from Games Workshop for Warhammer. They're really impressive to say the least so I thought I would post 'em!

The same kit can be built 2 ways and there are a ton of extras. The model looks a little intimidating at first glance, but if you break it down one section at a time it looks like a lot of fun! One carries a female vampire and her sisters while the other carries a necromancer of sorts. Each model has different effects on the play field. There are more pics at GW's site, including 360 degree photos. It's worth a look if you like this type of stuff!

What the heck. I can also post pretty much my favorite miniature of all time from CMON. This thing is insane. It raises the bar for virtually every aspect of the hobby: conversion, freehand, shading, light sourcing, blending, basing...you name it!
