Bones Naga Daemon

 

Whilst getting stuck into painting up an entire Empire army, it was nice to take a few breaks here and there to work on other models to keep the momentum going.

Here's the silicone Bones Naga model which I'll use for a demon in Frostgrave.

Not a lot of modification on this one - apart from trimming one dagger that had too many blades on it, but otherwise a relatively easy one pose and paint. 

l bit of finish with snake eyes and gold trimmings and we have another menace for Frostgrave.

Old-arsed Vampire

 

I never would have inentionally purchased this model, but he came with a very large bundle of other minis, so I thought I'd tackle the oldhammer Von Carstien Vampire

He was a bit mushed in the face and had a terrible glug paint job of oils on him,
so... into the drink with ya!

After a few days of soaking, the paint was soft enough to get off and then I fixed his snout with some delicate scalpel surgery. At least this Von Carstien still has his nose, albeit a little batty-looking.

The cape is the main reason I never was into this model, as it is very thick, heavy and lopsided.
It did seem a touch familliar though and I soon found out that an unpainted Dark Elf Sorcerer I had was wearing the exact same cloak! Looked better on him though.

I decided to rummage around in the bitz box until I found a suitable cape. I filed down the peg on the back and carefully sculpted the right fit, allowing some of that nice armour detail at the back to be seen, something that was covered by the original cloak.

For the rest of the paint job, I wanted him to be blueish pale like some of the other vampires I have painted, giving him a bit of a deathly pallor. He needs blood!
The blood-drinker sword and Von Carstein ring are prominent features in this model, so I game them a bit of attention as well.

All done! Velcome to ze undead army, count. Velcome.
