Finished this beast in about a week. Very proud of how it's turned out! I'm excited to put it on the game table.

Is it cheating to post two almost identical minis right in a row? Not sure, but here's the second Hekaton I painted alongside it's twin.

First of two Hekaton Land Fortresses I painted for a commission. These are big vehicles, and I had to use a lot of techniques I've learned through the years to finish these in a reasonable amount of time.

Dracosan Armoured Transport. I painted this along sidemy Sentinel. Similar issues with going overboard on the weathering medium. Got frustrated and put the minis aside for a while.
I was happy I revisited these minis

Aethon Heavy Sentinel. Fully magnetized weapons and a lot of Newsh weathering medium. Went overboard with the medium at first and had to spend a lot of time correcting my colors. I do adore this mini, though.

First time painting Vashtorr. I was intimidated by this mini at first. The mini wasn't too bad once I got started, though.

I see places where I can improve. And if I ever get to paint him again, I know what I'd change.

The centerpiece of my army, Vampire on Zombie Dragon. Chat voted to make the dragon an undead green dragon. So I got to figure out how to make rotting green flesh. Not a fan of the Vampire sculpt, though.

Terrorgiest. I had a lot of fun painting this mini. It was fairly simple, but time consuming. Just three main colors, but a lot of surface area and trying to get the right "feel" to make it look dead and rotting.

The rest of the skeletons painted for my army. I have 40 painted currently and would like to get more, eventually.

The skeleton warriors were the first unit I painted for the army. I started them during a 12 hour stream and nearly finished. Viewers could add their name to ThePaintingHorde. We had about 30 people particapte.

I'm really proud of how the blood knights turned out. I spent a lot more time on these than I usually do on my own minis. I'm particularly proud of the banner.

Crypt Ghouls. I've been following the Total War concept with Vampire Counts and their eyes. All of the non "control" minis have glowing eyes to represent them being under control of the characters.

Something I really enjoy about painting a Vampire Counts army is how almost every unit can have its own color scheme. I really wanted to paint some purple, so these Varghiests were my perfect opportunity.

I bought Cursed City when it first released because I loved the minis and hoped for the return of Warhammer Fantasy. Well, now I get to use these cool bat swarms in the Vampire Counts army.

Crypt Horrors. Played around with a lot of different shades to find a mix that gave the classic green-flesh color for these minis. There was a surprising amount of customization for a set of three minis.

It's basically just painting 10 zombies and a necromancer. That's the thought that gave me the motivation. Your undead minis look great. I bet your Corpse Cart will look awesome as well.

ThePaintingDad @thepaintingdad.bsky.social · Jan 27

I owned a Corpse Cart almost 15 years ago and never painted it. It was so intimidating to me at the time that I ended up selling it primed. I got this mini recently and it was a really pleasant project.

Wight King. Another mini I've wanted since its release years ago. The color scheme is what I originally had in mind for my army, so you'll see more of these colors on the "rank and file" units I painted.

Cairn Wraith. This simple, classic mini I was able to paint in an evening. I tried to keep its color scheme unique while fitting in with the rest of the army, a challenge for a lot of Vampire Counts units

ZOMBIES! I love zombie minis and jumped at the chance to paint them. The new sculpts work perfect on square bases and have a surprising amount of customizable options.

Dire Wolves. Again proving to me that the newer SoulBlight minis were originally made to also work with The Old World. Lots of cool detail on these minis.

I love these new Fell Bat minis. I got them as part of a big box deal for AOS, but always had the plan of using these minis for my Vampire Counts. They rank up fine, with a little planning.

I love this metal vargulf mini! I had a VC army back in 6th-7th edition Fantasy. Sold it after the game was canceled and thought I'd never see the game again. One of my major hobby regrets.
Good luck painting your army! Post some updates as you progress.

I'll eventually pick up the one available for the FEC faction to add variety.
