Ral Partha Vampire Lord, sculpted by Dennis Mize

And another finished mini this evening!

So I've had a free-ish week and have been busy like a Keebler elf making cookies, painting as much as time would permit.  This one is a Vampire Lord as per its original packaging back from either late seventies or early eighties.  Later on when he got separated from the blister pack, they called him a gesturing wizard.  With this in mind, my question was do I make him a vampire or a wizard?  So I wanted to have him pale and pasty like his vampirish early concept, so here is the result:

Great job painting him, but I have to admit, my first impression was that he’s supposed to be some sort of 70s discotheque hustler… maybe the founder of a tawdry magazine?

Or a vampire pimp maybe? Once again, product of Mize’s 70’s influences!

Good choice when in doubt always choose the Vampire..

Does he have to choose? I say cheesy 'Russian' villain of the week in the Man from Uncle or somesuch. Probably has a waterbed... Nice paintjob

I wholeheartedly agree, vampires definitely last longer!

Ah, my parents had a waterbed for many, many years.  I wonder why they went out of style?

Good work on him! 

He makes a great vampire wizard.

Never thought of that. He can be both!
