Lahmian Vampire

Fantasy
Games Workshop
28mm

The latest addition to my Vampire Counts army. Based on the older Brtetonian Damsel with an armswap from the Dark Eldar range to create the 'black grail'. I went for white robes purley to have another go at doing translucent / wet look clothing. I hope you all like the end result.

Actualy i didn't use any washes, it was all done as a live blend from a wet pallet. The White was highlighted up form GW Rotting Flesh with the shadows lined back in with Rot flesh / Chaos Black mix thinned right down. It was a project piece done on a whim to fill in a hero slot in the Vamp' army list. The mini took about two hours to complete not including base and cat and tought me a few lessons in how (not to) go about trying to achieve this effect. The best advice i pass on would be to thin the flesh colour right down untill there's almost no pigment and build the colour back up in many very thin layers. I got too much paint on too soon and when that happens it starts to look chalky / streaky. That said, it does look a lot better in real life, satin varnish and flash photography don't mix!

i think the mini looks nice but you use too many washes, that's why it looks shiny. Using a matt varnish will help greatly

well, the colors are fine, but its looks like she is wet, with all that shine and he "make-up" seems like it has taken damage from whatever she got wet from :D
