And another possibility for Vlad - looks nice, but I have not seen it in the flesh, as it were, for a size comparison with GW

The Hasslefree figures (sculpted by Kev White.....ex GW) are some of the best on the market currently. Exquisite detail, but realistc sculpting style. No over exaggerated hands and heads, true proportions. Another great figure source is Heresy ( http://www.heresyminiatures.com/ ) Best Ghouls you will find anywhere. Like this:

Other images of Heresy and Hasslefree figures in my gallery: http://displacedminiatures.com/robh/gallery/181/ I highly recommend both companies.

Oracle

I found this very nice 'Dark Elf' from Avatars of War, (who do a lot of very nice miniatures) and I was wondering what people though of it as a vampire.
http://www.avatars-of-war.com/hfaweb2mail/hfaweb2mail.php Scroll down until you find it. http://www.avatars-of-war.com/images/aow06.jpg Painted up with blood red armour I think it would look very vampiric, but im not sure, and at $30 aus (with postage from Spain) I wanted a second opinion. It looks of GW style (which im told is because the sculptor is ex-gw) and I think I could get away with it in a GW run tourny, but im worried it would look too obviously dark elf. So what do people think?

Riddler

I think this would be a good model to use to make a Vampire... Some greeen stuff to fill in the slannesh lines..

Consider using GW models from LOTR as well. e.g. I am thinking of using Nazgul as spirit hosts for if I ever cast wind of undeath, also Castellans of Dol Guldor could make great Wight Kings or even Vampires with Avatar of Death. Another idea of mine is to use Arwen with a bit of converting as a Vampire Lady.
Alot of people try Empire or Bret themed forces but you should look at all other ranges and see what you like (the best thing about VC to me is that you can mix and match units from different forces to represent your forces as long as you make it clear what's what).
 
I am using the cloud of bats from the LotR range for my fellbats - beautiful model :)

Ghouls
Rackham's Ghouls of Acheron
UKMVSP05_1.jpg

7.50 € for three models means these would make the perfect Ghouls for your VC army.

Heresy Ghouls
ghoulies009tp5.jpg

ghoulposse020rq9.jpg

Best Ghouls around IMHO. Mix perfectly with GW's Ghouls and cost €10 for 2 packs of 3.

Heresy's Flesh Golem
ai152.photobucket.com_albums_s194_mrmuller_frnk048.webp

A bit big for a regular Ghoul, but perfect as a stand-in Ogre merc. :D

Where can I buy them? ^^
 
Sorry folks, but as advised at the top of this thread, discussion & off topic posts have been deleted.

Please create a thread, post in you log etc if you wish to discuss the models.

I have ordered some of those ghouls, amazing models, much better than GW

If I had known about these alternatives, I would have never bought all my core units so quickly :(

Really recommend the Rackham stuff.

The zombie warriors would make great Vampire zombies, or even skeletons with some modification.

Very nice vampire models in the Vampire Hunters kickstarter (don't pay attention to the hunters ;-)! .. the add-on box even has like 24 extra vampire models for only $30, not bad!
