Show us your Fell and Swarm(bats)

[count kill alot]

I really hate those GW bat’s and I don’t know if I should fit them into the army or not.
So here’s your chance to save the lost cheeps as my self.

Here are my Vampire(fell) Bats. Enjoy!

 

[Vladimir the bloody]

Nice Fell bats man! Whats the body? Ghouls?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Thanks, nope those are Rackham Wamphyrs I just repainted and stuck on flying bases ^^

 

[Skarsnik the Lord]

Wow! :| Those look awesome!

Here's my Fell Bats.

My Bat Swarms still are unpainted (and I really had to reassemble them to fit on my theme), but I am not too busy with them (I hardly ever use them in my games).

- Cheers, Skarsnik.

 

[Fritz von Carstein]

Those gobbo bats are sweet!!
Heres mine

 

[Nikos]

Gah, how have I not seen those bats by Fallen angel?!? They're excellent.

Here are mine.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Gah, how have I not seen those bats by Fallen angel?!? They're excellent.

Thank you!

Yours too! What models are those swarms in the back? the look great!

 

[Typical Cricket]

I'm surprised nobody's using the LOTR bats. That's what I plan on using.

FA the Wamphyrs are amazing good job.

Skar love your gobobats.

Fritz love the paint job looking great.

Niko your colour blending is superb nice touch with the bloody teeth.

 

[Generaltso]

All these are great!

Fallen Angel - I have a similar idear for my fell bats using Mantic zombies and adding wings somehow. You just solidified this direction for me as a completely viable option with you bats up above. Top knotch work

G why don’t you check out this section on gargouhls:
https://www.vampirecounts.net/Thread-Fumico-s-Garghoul-tutorial?pid=117244#pid117244
This might give you some ideas on how to do the wings, another idea is to use wire frame to make the wing shape and then model some GS on it.

 

[Generaltso]

Excellent thread recommendation Count! I appreciate the heads up! Will be looking into a nid gargoyle kit this week to start the process

 

[Mr Saturday]

Some great work here. @Fallen Angel, your fellbats are fantastic. The graduation of colour on the wings looks mighty. @Niko, great bats, I do love the Lotr bat swarms. @Skarsnik, there's something awful creepy about your gobbats, j'approve.

 

[Generaltso]

Here's mine hot of the brush. Special thx to Fallen Angel for inspiration and Count Kill Alot for the link to the tutorial where I confirmed my suspicions on the nid gargoyle wings being a viable option. Cheers!

:Vampire1: Wow those conversions are amazing and you’ve managed to pull it off and paint them in such a short time, hats of to you.
Now for C & C the paint job is out of this world and the positioning of which you’ve placed them flows really well, my only criticism I can’t buy them in stores.
The parts are (ghoul heads, gargoyle wings and zombie body/torso) if I’m not mistaken.
Great job.

 

[Generaltso]

Cheers Count! Haha, I work well under pressure - have a tournie comin up on the 22nd and needed 8 of these buggers. You are correct on all components used!

 

[count kill alot]

Again hats of to what you’ve done here, it turned out beautifully you should be proud of your self.
And good luck on your tournie, kick some ass.

 

[Santawraith]

Murder of crows

 

[Fallen Angel]

Generaltso: Great work! Glad to have inspired you!

 

[count kill alot]

S nicely done did you sculpt it your self?
Anyways it still looks better than GW in my opinion.

 

[Dark Rose]

Well, I've been slowed down by stuff at work and kept from doing much new work on my Mordheim Gang, but..... as somebody asked about my old army, I decided to pull them out of the closet where they've been entombed for some long while and take a stab at photographing some of them....

So anyway.... here's my old Bat swarms for your perusal and (hopefully) enjoyment.

I love the paint and choice of colors you clearly see talent and that you took time when doing these so bravo.

Hi all, fairly new to this forum (have been doing undead for an age now so don't know why I aint joined a dedicated forum before!). I've recently returned to my old vampires and giving them an update as they were painted back when I was singing soprano and I like to think my skills have come on a bit since then...

I'm not a massive fan of the GW bat range but here's what I've managed to do with a couple:

[Tartar Sauce]

I haven't been around in a while but I think I've posted these before. Here's what I use as Fell Bats:


These are the giant bat things from the FFG game 'Descent: Journeys in the Dark'

I also use the really old GW Carrion with wraith riders.
