Nosferatu faction for Empire of the Dead
« on: June 13, 2012, 05:42:32 AM »
Finally got the finishing touches on my faction.

On to the pictures:


Neculai Strigoin, the Graf of the group


His Consort Adelina Strigoin


When in town the Guardian and drones present a stylish front


But once they're out in the country they tend to dress back to their roots


Finally, what would a Nosferatu family be without pets?

Given some luck on the table I may soon have shillings to field them all

Thanks for looking,

Mike

So are any of these from the westwind line or have you collected others to use?  I really like the first two models, they've got a lot of character!

That's a great looking faction. The lady vampyr is a beauty. From whence doth she hail?

Is she the mini Steve Buddle sculpted for the "Chick Challenge" painting competition years back (with added hat)?  Always liked that mini: I wish someone would bring it back into production.
Back from the dead, almost.

The first miniature is the West Wind limited edition Secrets of the third Reich vampire you could get with the first print of the SoTR rulebook.

Great miniatures and painting  :)

Thanks everyone.

The Graf is, as Anatoli said from Westwinds SotR I just added the cavalry sabre and some frogging on his jacket.
Adelina is the Steve Buddle CCIV figure and I am eternally grateful to Mancha for finding one for me.
The Cossacks are from Wargames Foundry. The in-town figures were converted from 2 Artizan Pinkerton Agents and a Black Scorpion Cowboy figure.

Damn, I've been trying to acquire that female hussar for years. Grats, and nice looking group!

I'm sure there was one on Ebay a while back!

I've had it as a 'saved search' on eBay for a long, long time. It's possible one slipped through the net...

It's happened to me with Freebooter Miniatures - I get no alert some days and so take a manual look see.

Only to find half a dozen new auctions that Ebays alert never picked up on!

A nice collection of mini's and very nice paint jobs.
I like the way you've done 2 versions of the guardians. Look forward to seeing more.

All very nice with some very imaginative touches. Thank you for explaining the Pinkertons, I was having a "they do look familiar but where the hell?" moment with those figures - great conversions

Great faction with some wonderful, imaginative conversions!

I have the Pinkertons staring at me on my table, ready to be converted into 1920's Agents for Strange Aeons.
Slightly different converting to be done, but essentially the same idea.
