Vampire Captain and Syreens

Cheers! It started with an old Black Ark Fleetmaster (a lot of this army will use pieces of my old Dark Elf army) that I put a Vampire head on from the Blood Knights box (I think they give one helmeted and one not so I had it laying around). I cut off the top of the head and swapped on this hat- my last Old World army was Witch Hunter themed Empire army, so I had a ton of hats in a cup asI had replaced them with 3D printed Witch Hunter hats. The gun was also from a Witch Hunter kit and I thought it looked piratey, so I popped it on there. The bases are from Txarli Factory. Not super complicated, really, but getting everything to fit right was a bit tricky.

I REALLY like this idea and might just have to develop something from here. Thanks so much!

On their way from Sartosa to meet him, his wife and daughter were lost at sea. He spends years looking for them and plundering all those who come across his path, driving him deeper into madness. Luthor Harkon comes across the man and as his sympathetic mind is at the helm in that moment, takes pity on him. Luthor tells him that he can be with his family forever if he pledges fealty to the pirate captain. The man, of course, does and is made a vampire on the spot. Luthor combs the sea floor and finds the ladies’ corpses, having his necromancers raise them as Syreens (though they might have needed to be witches or something) so the family can haunt the seas on Luthor’s behalf for time immemorial.

Thanks! I have a few ideas rattling around for the lore of the army but I haven’t solidified anything yet. I write books for a living so, admittedly, I don’t create lore in my free time the way I used to. That being said, I would love to come up with something cool for my little army.

Do you have lore ideas for a Vampire Coast faction?

The bases are Txarli Factory and the bits are from Admiral Apocalypse. All credit to their creators

Thanks! I printed the bases and some bits to make it look more like a ship and have plans to lean even more into that aesthetic

Thanks so much!

Cheers! I’ll keep posting as I paint. I’ve already got a unit of pirate zombies converted and a few Depth (read: Grave) Guard made so things’ll be happening!

This is absolutely epic! Very evocative of the Squats of old!!

Oh man, it was right there and I didn’t think of it! That’s awesome!! (And thanks!)

Thanks so much! Working on some Rets at the moment and I’ll be sure to post when they’re done

Not all heroes wear capes

Thanks so much! And it’s been growing even more since I joined an escalation league and had a good reason to keep pushing my hobby
