Van-Helsings Horror Miniatures Thread

[Steve F]

Yea, I would love to do "Dad" as a Cushing Van-Helsing personally, I keep looking for suitable miniatures!

I know that there have been one or two "Grand Moff Tarkin" figures in the Star Wars miniatures range.  Is there one with a good enough likeness to provide a headswap, perhaps?

[Van-Helsing]

Unfortunately no  also the heads are "realistically" scaled so they seem tiny

[Commander Vyper]

Nice, just one tiny comment, maybe a little more highlight on the faces, look a little bit flat? Maybe just me/pic.

The Commander

[Van-Helsing]

I think it's the pictures actually - they are based, washed, and highlighted three or so times LoL!

true 25mm Steve so a little too small for a headswop with todays minis, maybe a hasslefree male head with some gs hair might suffice?

Another couple of very nice mini's. Great looking faction.
Whats next then?

[Van-Helsing]

After I've finished Harker I'm thinking maybe a couple of additional Regular Members - "Bettie the Vampire Slayer", Mina Harker, and Francois DuPont (a French Artist turned Slayer)

Carry on re-painting my Vampire Wars miniatures to do some more Factions - in between painting the new EotD Characters - plus working up a Mob.

THEN start on my "Torchwood 1888" idea, and start painting the new EotD Faction Miniatures.

(and all that whilst hopefully building terrain)

So LOADS to do!

Nice additions Van-Helsing. 

I love your namesake model especially.

Cheers Brother - I wish I was still that thin

Just doing Harker atm!

[Van-Helsing]

So I Cracked on with Harker for a while last night, but couldn't really get into it properly.

Not too sure of the colours I've chosen though LoL!

Hoping to finish him today if I get the chance.

[Van-Helsing]

I FINALLY managed to finish Harker last night, so I was (understandably as he's the last member of The Slayer Society done - for now at least) in a pretty sound mood.

Then, I get home for Lunch today, only to find my Army Painter Mega Paint Set Arrived! (ALL my paints needed topping up, and it never hurts to have extra brushes).

All in all a good day so far!

[Van-Helsing]

As one of the most trusted of the Surviving original Slayers, Jonathan has risen to be second only to Johann in command. After assisting Van Helsing during the first Count Dracula caper, Jonathan Harker trained with the Holy Orders and then returned to Eastern Europe to hopefully finish off the on-going Vampire threat there once and for all. With the discovery of Infernium, Harker returned to London and the Slayer Society – knowing he would be needed there.



I feel quite chuffed about finishing them - as far as playing games goes (at least to begin with) thats the Slayer Society finished - of course I will need to paint a few more members to replace casualties or represent new-recruits (but I have those 'in mind' already).

So here is a Group Shot (perhaps I should have Sepia-Toned it LoL) -



Next - some more of those wonderful Characters from Gentlemen & Jackanapes (I've already done a Holmes and Watson, but I may well just do another set)

[Skrapwelder]

Bravo!

Very well done. I like that each model has its own palette of colors and yet they all work well together. Harker came out nicely but I might have gone with a more somber green. All in all a very nice presentation.

[Van-Helsing]

He's actually NOT that bright in the flesh - I hate taking pictures LoL!

Thanks for the positive comments!

[Big Frank]

Very nice. Great looking faction, good choice of mini's and lovely painting.
