Looks impressive. When will you paint them because how nice they look now they will look best with a bit of paint on them.
They definitely look nice, but paint would be great - even just a basecoat. Unfortunately, as they are, it's tricky to tell exactly what's going on (this is one of the reasons I hate working with pewter, myself).
That said, though, well done! I've never really had the courage to take a saw to pewter minis, myself. But these look really good.

All of your conversions look amazingly beautiful.
I especially like Isabella, Neferata and the Silver Princess.
Could I ask what models and parts you used for (all) of them,..?
I know most of the bits you used like the Dragon Prince/Dryad/Empire plumes and wizard staff top/Bret knight helm and Gargoyle bits, aswell as the AOW Vampire Countess, Manfred and Astorath the Grim, but I'm not 100% sure about all the others.

The only one I like is Abhorash. If it was based on a normal for a vampire 20x20 mm base it surely was to be great. The idea with those bats is awesome and for me the blood angels captain model is a good 40k mini, that might represent a wfb vampire well. I was thinking of such a thing myself. I mean his power armour looks much like the flayed hauberk should, I guess. Only the shoulder pads are lame and make him look like he was a bully, twice that broad-shouldered (at least) as Vlad.
As this mini is now finecast it might be way easier to remove the pads and do somethong else with it. Some green stuff made chainmail would look much more appropriate here.
And again the bats are cool thing really. Your Abhorash looks fierce. If I was to do make that type of vampire with the use of this blood angel I'd use tha bats idea for sure. But as I've said, it looks that powerful, even in comparison to Vlad, that I've to had at least 5 o 6 thousand points army to field this one as my army's general and feel comfortable with myself.
I'm really astonished. Really nice piece.

Actually Abhorash is so incredibly powerful (combat wise) that there is no limits to how insanely killy he can look. He has been known to wade into battles completely unsupported too, so any amount of points would be viable for him. Hed just have to cost a shitload of points himself.
Personally I think the basing on alot of those is pretty obscene, especially on that vlad one. If they are just for display, itd be fine, but they seem pretty impractical for gaming purposes.

Also good to know the Holy Grail is finally on our hands! :konrad:

Your Kimmler = BOSS. I can't honestly tell how the miniatures look because detail is hard to discern on unpainted miniatures, but seeing the conversion work, i have nothing but high hope for the painted models.
Yeah, as others have said, its very hard to get an overall feel for the model, as some of the different materials and parts look disjointed. That is not to say they would do when complete, it is just because the material doesn't mesh them together.
That said, they do look very good, probably the most promising in my eyes is Kemmler. I would really love to see some of them painted, then I could comment further.
On the flip side I am not overly fond of Abhorash, he looks too out of control for me. I imagine the Master of the Blood Dragon's to be more cold and collected, pure economy of movement, striking only at the perfect moment if you get the gist. Though to be fair, that is more my own interpretation, and so it doesn't mean that your own thoughts on him are any less valid.
Great effort all round.

Looks decent, Neferata looks good, I like the idea about.
The issue is the vast amount of the models seem to be fairly basic GW range and Kit bashed only and allot of them look like very little has been done and just stuck an extra bit from another kit on, those with allot done in some cases it looks like nothing blends and stuff has just been stuck on to hid other bits and does not fir the model and nothing is blended in so there are Sharpe edges everywhere.
Serious green stuffing needs to be done, going from that I don't see these models being easily usable, where will you fit them?
These could be display only and if thats the intention painting them before correcting what needs to be done is going to make it look terrible.
Abhorash, Walach and Vlad for instance have had very little done.
Vlad a new base, Abhorash is Astorath with bats stuck to his back from another range instead of his jump pack and Walach has a new hand, a banner stuck to his back, a bret Knights Helm and the empire generals lance.
Everything you have done has potential but kit bashing can only take you so far and to much takes away from the model.
Keep up the good work.

Fun stuff. I find myself wishing your photos had a greater depth of field. There's so much stuff out of focus in them that in several cases I had a hard time figuring out what I was looking at, or getting a sense of the entire, overall model.
On the silver princess piece there's some mold lines on the ghouls and, I think, on the underside of her right arm. And it looks like something was snipped off of the wrappings around her wrist. On some of the other models, there are some small gaps where the disparate parts are joined (around the classic Dark Eldar spikes on Isabella, for example). I feel like a little green stuff to smooth things over might go a long way.
Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing them painted!

Thank you very much mates. I know, I must paint my models to discern easily all the details... But all my model are just wip. I know there are many gaps. I'm thinking to use the new liquid green stuff. For now I just try to give an idea of my characters with kit bashed.
For example this is my W’soran with his Grimoire Necronium. Other photos here

These are really killer, man. I'd love a breakdown of what bitz went on each model. Really impressed with the looks you've got here.

Very cool!
Criticisms: I can see mold lines on a number of the components. And I can't figure out how the skulls are attached to the cloak. I feel like there ought to be straps or hooks or something.
