Great effects on those elementals Beefcake. Just for future reference the rules do state 'a single miniature'. You've done yourself out of three day's worth of entries! I can see a logic in including the two contrasting elementals. In this instance it would be a little churlish to not count it as lot of work has been done. Don't do it again though  lol

Sorry. I was thinking rather than clogging it up with loads of my minis I'd let others have a go. If you want I'll just crop them out individually and put 1 in a day.

I'm not sure that is a C18 vampire, as I thought the C18 undead were all solid bases? It looks more like the late 90's Vampire Counts range, no?

Original C18s Undead range were solid based.

The later expanded C18 night horrors were slotta.

So it is C18 Night Horrors vamp

But is not C18 Undead vamp

I like, especially how his cloak is muddy/dirty on the bottom is a nice touch of detail, brings it together with the basing colors.

Although I keep thinking he is going to start counting...

You're right about the C18 Night Horrors range being slotta bases, I've got a few of those. I still don't recognise it from that range, I enjoy identifying old figures and I want to know what it is now!  lol

Nope, I am not right enough

lost minies, they have under night horrors generically,

http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Night_Horrors#Vampires

but Citidel catalogue:

http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991b/cat1991bp311ethereals-02.htm

Its listed under Ethereals, along with some previous 'night horrors'

Cannot find it earlier so far than 91

But, its clear that in the 1989 catalogues there are two pages of night horrors:

https://archive.org/stream/1996CitadelMiniaturesCatalogue19861991/1989%20-%20Citadel%20Miniatures%20Catalogue%20Part%20Two#page/n37

But no 'Ethereals', and no Vampire no. 5

by 1991 however a number of 'night horrors' become 'ethereals' and there he is:

https://archive.org/stream/1996CitadelMiniaturesCatalogue19861991/1991%20-%20Citadel%20Miniatures%20Catalogue%20Section%20Two#page/n151

Sorry for the delay in answer, and the additional confusion and all  that.

Interestingly in some of the 'collectors' books they have done they list the old 'out of production' vampires that can be collected, including numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.

they don't mention 5.... o_o

Oh hum at least he exists briefly in 91 poor OOP bugger

Is that enough to know now?

That was so stimulating I think I might try some train spotting to calm down...

Great work on the elementals and gorgon, beefcake, and the vampire, Tatalvanic!

The various ethereal and night horrors listings are interesting: I'd forgotten that they recycled the old RQ storm demon into the night horrors, though I did remember the portly broo!

The LotR barrow wights ended up in the ethereals range, I was interested to see.

I've got the medusa and the mummy at least. I've got a few of the other Night Horrors too.

Some great research there!
Heres me thinking it was a Night Horrors Vampire ( I do not say bleugh bleugh bleugh!)
The Night Horrors are a superb range, I have a number of them to paint.
Those, along with the Chaos familiars and Gothic Horror ranges are some of my favourites.

Tactalvanic, that old catalogue is pure torture!
I now want metal skeleton cavalry that I had years ago, forgot all about them!

I too have the medusa. I chopped its hands off though at one stage but found that beastman hands work very well in it's place. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=47197.msg1367379#msg1367379
My favourite of the night horrors was the Greater Werewolf which I also painted a while back.
