Transylvanian VSF - back from the dead!!! (update 1 October)

[Captain Blood]

Thought I'd post some bigger pics of my recent LPL entry.

To remind you of the concocted backstory...

Colonel Székely leads his Carpathian Rifles into battle, his patent electro-lance force generator to the fore. The Unorthodox Patriarch of Clüj lends spiritual support, while the lesbian crew of the ‘Pokol’ steam-driven machine-gun-carriage pause to enjoy a black Turkish cheroot.

As befits this ancient Principality steeped in gore, the forces of the Autonomous Entity of Transylvania wear uniforms the colour of dried blood, beneath caps of shaggy white wolf fur. The blue facings stand for the skies above the Carpathian Mountains, where giant bat-winged aeronefs plough the azure heavens.

Coming next…

Prince’s Vlad’s vampiric ‘Bridal Guard’ hussars
Vrölok’s Gipsy Horse, and their infernal, steam-powered war wagons
The dire wolves of Wallachia – ichor-fuelled mechanical predators, and their fearsome Cossack riders.
Ördög’s Mailed Fist – the ancient, feudal cavalry of Transylvania, 500 years undead.

That's the general idea, anyway... I might do some of it  

Here are the pics - mostly Copplestone Back of Beyond figures. Colonel Székely is from a West Wind vampire hunters pack but can't remember which one.
The Unorthodox Patriarch of Clüj is one of the TAG Renaissance freebies you get with your order  
The armoured vehicle, as you VSF fans will know, is from Ironclad, and a beautifully crisp model it is too. A real pleasure to assemble and paint.

a championship level entry in every aspect!
Great work and congrats on a well-deserved LPL win!

[Red Orc]

Wow. These looked impressive in the LPL - seeing them all together, they're marvellous.

The Colonel is a lovely mini. I want one now for my Ruritanians, with a more sombre paintjob he'd rather look how I imagine Colonel Sapt. Who never had a giant electro-lance, I'll grant you!

Great collection... Beautifully painted models.

I can see that I probably will have to get those Copplestone miniatures too at some point 

[sertorius]

 Very nice painting there, lovely vivid colours, especially the red. Good colour combination with the red and light blue.

[Axebreaker]

Very nice painting as usual.

Cheers

That's the general idea, anyway... I might do some of it 

You have to! It's a good concept with some great ideas.

As for the painting......... lovely jubbly  .

[Malamute]

Splendid stuff indeed.

 Looking forward to seeing these chaps in action the next time we meet up at the Grotto...

[rob_alderman]
