A bit of help please....
« on: 28 September 2009, 03:21:38 PM »
Hello LAF's. Just finished my Heresy Vampire and had a blast painting him. But do you think that his base is a bit over the top?



Any help of views would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice. I think the base is good - no chance of the wings catching.

If he was just man (or vampire) sized without the wings i would think the base was way over the top,

the broad sweep of his wings balances it out perfectly,

i'd keep it as is,

Very nice. I like the leaf scatter stuff. It just seems to me to be most appropriate for horror stuff. I don't know why :)

Thanks for all the positive comments. The base is definitely growing on me the more I stare at it across the table.

Its not like you but it on a CMON Matterhorn base. Seems just right to me. His wingspan and general awesomeness of the figure makes the base work. Great job!

No, I do not see the base as being too busy. I like the shading and variations in color across the wings. Well done.

I wouldn't change a thing. It's a nice bit of basing and I agree it looks great with the wings. plus, bigger base=meaner monster.

I've got mine on a 60mm base, although he hasn't been painted yet (I won't even admit to how long I've had him  :?) and it seems to look okay.  Echoing other Leadsters, the bloodsucker's impressive wingspan and dynamic pose allows for a nice, big scenery-laden base, which in your instance is absolutely fantastic by the way and makes me green with envy as I know my attempt will fall far short  :'(!  May I ask in what context you are using him?

Oops; make that a 40mm base, but you get the idea...
