Any hope of any progress here yet?

In their first battle they did exactly that. Unfortunately, they were just as swiftly cut down by the undead hordes of Deiter H. Ultimately the sheer ferocity of my Blood Dragons proved too much for Deiter’s magic. Once every unit was in combat, his magic became quite limited. It only took one...

Ha! I may bring my glorious Blood Dragons, however I haven’t even undercoated my core units yet ☹️ Here are my three ‘Fell Bats’. They represent young bloods who have failed to take to the Blood Kiss and are doomed to degenerate and die.

I like the idea of Ushuran and a group of survivors from their fallen kingdom (Strigoi?) hiding in the shadows. You could base them in the Grey Mountains of Bretonnia, an abandoned keep, that feeds your mortarch’s delusions. Transforming the rules for a mortarch into TOW or an earlier edition is...

Yes, I have excluded Necros and wolves as I think they are not in the 6th ed Blood Dragon list and/or I didn't want them! I tend to rum magic light with all my armies. I like magic to be a flavour rather than dominate. It might be because I started in Historical WG back in the day, who can say...

Rather than adapt 7th & 8th so that we can use Bloodlines, we play 6th (which already has Bloodlines), but adapt units from 7th & 8th to fit in with our 6th edition armies. For our group the Lore comes first, and you then go from there. I am currently building a Blood Dragon army, using the...

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. The Gondolier is a relatively new sculpt by a company called Myth Forged. It was extremely well packaged, but still arrived in more pieces than expected! The statues have been in my pile of shame for decades. Possibly they are not recognisable because...

Here are my attempts at painting a 6th edition variation on a Blood Dragon theme. So far there are 3 Vargheists (animated statues) and a start on my Black Coach (Gondolier of Death).

I did dabble with the Bonereapers for a while, but I sold those figures as I just failed to click with AoS. I have a pile of skellies waiting for my Blood Dragons and I'll be using Skeleton Horde on them (so many...), so I will post some of those once complete. Can I just say that I am not a...

Your Golden Bat has already lured me into painting my alt. Vargheists and making a start on the Coach. However, I still have 4 Siver Helms to paint and a battle approaching, so I have reluctantly closed the lid on my vamps and have 4 undercoated elves gazing reproachfully at me from my painting...

I don't want to get your hopes up. I'm not the greatest converter, but I do use figures from other ranges. In my lore, the dead are shipped to the monastery/vampire lair by boat. So my Black Coach is a large gondola, with a masked gondolier, floating on water and bones. Similarly I use the...

We play 6th edition. We are only a small group and the lore is the most important part to us. The 6th army books are amazing, but we tend to also put our own spin on things, often importing newer units from 7th and 8th (and even figures from AoS) while producing rules and points that we think...

Amazing, many thanks for this. There are also the fabulous contrast paints. Skeleton Horde is a lifesafer if you have a.... horde of bone to paint!

Thanks for opening the VAU. I've 5 Silver Helms to complete, then I can start on my Vampire Host. Hopefully that may be in time to get something in the Golden Bat. Enjoy the weekend.
