Greetings,
it’s a pleasure to join such a noble gathering of the Lords of the Night. At my fiancé’s urging, I finally found a moment to register here. It’s great to see that places like this still thrive after all these years. I’ve always loved this community - creative, passionate, and very much alive… or rather, unalive. ;) I’m glad it still holds that spirit, even if this circle is small.

My partner might’ve already mentioned me here and there, but just to introduce myself properly - I collect and play mostly old editions of Warhammer Fantasy, especially the sixth. My first army was Bretonnia, which I started collecting, painting, and playing nearly twenty years ago, back in high school.

In recent years, I’ve been building my second army - one far removed from the chivalric followers of the Lady of the Lake. Of course, I’m talking about the Vampire Counts. My fascination began with he novel Drachenfels, which I read in my youth. After many years of playing Bretonnia, I was bewitched by the cursed dukedom of Mousillon, and from there my interest in this army only grew - their haunting character, the models, the rules. The whole atmosphere of decay and eternal night just... drew me in.
Aside from collecting, I also paint miniatures on commission - bringing the unliving (and living) to unholy beauty, one brushstroke at a time.

When I’m not summoning skeletons or mixing paints, I enjoy reading - mostly fantasy. I’ve devoured many Warhammer novels over the years, from the grim tales of Drachenfels to the endless wars of men and monsters. Lately, I’ve turned my gaze toward Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive - and it’s been quite the storm indeed.

I hope you’ll accept my humble presence among your ranks. May I bring something of worth to this dark fellowship💀💀💀

A warm and bloody welcome Amarell! 🍷 We have lot of players who prefer the older editions of Warhammer and 6th edition appears to be a popular one, alongside the 4th and 8th editions (evens for the win apparently?!).

You're also more than welcome to advertise your services here, we have others who do the same, such as Thanakhton_Emissary and his brilliant 3D sculpts. All I ask is that you post your model pictures etc in a painting log as it grows the community here whilst supporting your ventures. We also love to see battle reports so feel free to post up when you have new ones (y)

Look forward to seeing your entry in the Golden Bat! 😁
 
Welcome to the forum :) . I hope that you enjoy participating in the community here. It's great to have another player who used to game way back when too :) .

I’m really glad you recognize my work from Facebook! It’s cool that people associate me in such a positive way.


As for Arkhan, that model was actually a commission for someone who wanted it as the main centerpiece of their undead army display. They wanted a “burnt bones” effect. Personally, I really like Arkhan’s chariot, especially the sides that look like wings - maybe bat wings. The hardest part was positioning the horses so they stood evenly and connected properly to the chariot.
