Anatoli's Empire of the Dead thread 23/11/2013
« on: June 06, 2012, 11:02:19 AM »
Will be posting a lot of Empire of the Dead over the next couple of week so I thought I would start a new thread where I will gather them all rather than making separate posts for each miniature.

First up is the leader of the Nosferatu clan for Empire of the Dead. Miniature is from the new EotD Nosferatu boxed set.

VERY WELL DONE...in an evil sort of way! Beyond some very nice brushwork & basing, you've captured the dark character of the piece. I like the black finger nails...nice touch.

Thanks guys, the consort ended up looking a lot more evil and blood crazed - will post pictures of her tomorrow  :)

Very nice. As always you put so much of the atmosphere into your miniatures.

Looking forward to the consort. She is my favorite figure of the lot.

The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

Thanks again for the kind comments guys  :)

The Consort is the second type of Vampire which can be included in your Nosferatu list. Slightly weaker than the Graf but still a formidable foe. Consorts don't have to be female, and you can upgrade your Thrall's to a consort if you are lucky with the post game ladvancement/skill rolls.

Very good, I think I prefer this miniature to the Graf.  ;D

There is something about the sword on the Graf I am not keen on. Personally I prefer to see Vampire miniatures without weapons,  I always imagine a Vampire not needing to use a weapon to defeat mortals in Hand to Hand combat.

Great Stuff!

I can see the "no weapon" Logic - but Westwind are thinking ahead a little, like Anatoli before - it could be a Possessed Sword quite happily!

I would also like to see vampires have the option of buying the "Teeth and Claws" weapon

Painted up the Nosferatu clan "Guardian" for Empire of the Dead. My favorite miniature out of the Nosferatu box.
