Favourite Vampire Counts models

[Meier Lenk]

i love the konrad model, having painted it up a few days ago it is easily the best damn job in my army (hes even eclipsed my lord).

i like the mordheim vampires, and that mordheim vamp-assasin lady. gonna be getting my hands on them with any luck.

 

[Atropos]

I like everything, except fell bats, spirit hosts which are just... meh...

My favourite models are the Female Vampire, Grave Guard, Skeletons, Ghouls and ZOMBIES!!! I LOVE ZOMBIES!!!
Of course, Blood Knights are beautiful, but I rarely use them.

I'm surprised new Mannfred model is not very liked. I know a lot of it has to do with old Von Carstein imagery. I just see him as almost a totally different character... he's definitely my favorite model in the line.

 

[Atropos]

I also prefer the old Mannfred, IMO, it was a lot better, although I still like the new one.

 

[Vall]

The Blood Knights are easily my favorite models, especially the Kastellan. Coming in second would be Cairn Wraiths, and third is the Grave Guard.

Least favorite? I really can't abide any of the Wight King models.

 

[Atropos]

Neither do I.

Black Knights are quite ugly too.

 

[Crimson]

And my least favourite, well that'd also have to be the current black knights.

 

[Josef]

1.)Corpse cart
2.)dire wolves

 

[LidlessPraetor]

My fav has to be Konrad. I just love the way he's drinking blood dripping from his sword
My favorite unit has to be the grave guard and the skeletons.

My least favorite is the Ghouls. Not that they're not better than the old ones, I just still don't like them. The dire wolves look dumb, but at least you can still order the old ones. That and any of GW's vampires (other than Konrad)... I think other miniature makers just make them much better.

1. Skeletons these drew me to the VC
2. Zombies at first wasn't into them but so much fun to build
3. Ghouls i always thought the older ghouls looked dumb but these are much improved

As of now thats it. I need to get my hands on more models/units. And I havent found any that I dont like yet.

 

[Christophe von Carstein]

I love the new von carstein characters as they are may favourite bloodline (disapointed there was not other bloodline characters)
Last edition mannfred but the baldy one has grown on me
New Grave Gruard and Skellies
Like new Blood Knights but they are not worth £50 i didnt even think they were worth £40 maybe 30/35
and corpse cart

I'd have to say my favorite models are the blood knights, they are the reason I picked up VC. I was on the site, saw new blood knights, and decided to play fantasy. I also like the black coach and the special character models. Vlad, Mannfred, and Konrad, I like what they do with the cloaks.

 

[Kaptain Von]

The Blood Knights and Dire Wolves are pretty sweet, but I think my undying love (ho ho) must go to the 6th ed. Mannfred von Carstein sculpt - feral, but feral with class and style, and even his slightly ridonkulous staff has grown on me over the years.

 

[XxSolitairexX]

I have to say I was woefully underwhelmed by all the 7th ed models except the blood knight steeds (not the knights themselves which are terrible) and the new GG. It took actually seeing the models in person (as opposed to net pics) to solidify the main reason I didn't like them; they are truescale not heroscale! When did that happen! As for 6th ed and back the only stuff I don't like is the entire range of mounted wights, everything else is good IMO.

 

[ScreamEchoes]

Well, i only like GG, blood knights and vargulf, everything else is crap =) (go dd figures)

 

[Seneschal]

I think the plastic GG are the best minis VC has ever had. I also like the wraiths and the 2 banshee models (I'm excluding the skull face one with the sword because she was originally a wight lord).
The mounted Blood Dragon with the lance is probably my favorite hero model. I have a soft spot for the mounted Lahmian with staff as well as the 5th Lahmian on foot with sword and dagger even if they screwed up her torso somewhat.

 

[JasoX]

I really like the new plastic Grave guard, just awesome.

 

[Flailing-Axes]

Grave Guard, obviously, and the Dire Wolves, they're pretty and cheap too.

 

[ironlord]

well i love the corpse cart even if it was a real sun of a *swearword* to paint

but i realy hate the new ghouls, i love the old ones but im annoyed that they are in metal...

 

[Vall]

I'm currently in love with my new Vampire general. He is an older Blood Dragon w/ lance model.

 

[Count_Demandred]

I love the Mannfred model as a Vampire, though not so much as Mannfred (what's with the pointless hook?).

But like I said, as an imposing/vicious Vampire Lord the model comes up trumps. I'll be using it as a Blood Dragon-like Lord that's for sure.

 

[Kaptain Von]

If Mannfred's my favourite, the new Ghouls and that Vampire with the stupid single wing are my objects of loathing. I'd forgotten just how gawky and mutie-looking the new Ghouls are (they're degenerates, but they still need to look vaguely human for me), and that one-winged wazzock is just stupid. He's the one model where I'll accept the "this looks like Chaos" argument - it's exactly the kind of cruel, nonsensical thing the Powers would get off on.

 

[rufus sparkfire]

The Mordheim necromancer and metal zombies. The 4th edition zombie dragon.

 

[Trevy the Great]

I'm gonna have to go with the new Grave Guard on this one. Those swords are just so awesome.

 

[Lordofundead]

just by looking at someones army at the local games workshop, a nicely painted corpse cart looks pretty cool.
