77160: Judas Bloodspire, Vampire

[Pingo]

I hadn't planned to do a Show Off thread of this figure, the Bones 77160: Judas Bloodspire, Vampire, by Werner Klocke. I just grabbed him from my bin o' Bones because a game needed some vampires and he looked pretty good and melodramatic. I didn't even do a WIP thread.

 

But something happened. The more I painted him the more I realized what a magnificent little piece of sculpture he was. Details kept popping out at me. He has this amazing, proud Miltonian damned soul Satanic presence, with that neoclassical drapery and the broken column and that tremendous, flapping, almost alive cape like a fallen angel's wings. Werner Klocke did a fantastic job with him.

 

The figure exists in metal, but I suspect it would be a nightmare to glue and hold together. I would be quite nervous about painting it and can only express the highest admiration for those who have done so.

 

One further note. About halfway through painting him I glued him to a base, because as he is configured he cannot stand flat. That damned sword keeps getting in the way. Note that even in the store photo he is propped up a little by the point of the sword. This seems to be a problem with the Bones version only.

Great mini! Let those players suffer and taste the torment of eternal woe!

***Turns to his consort, excuse me my dear I need to clear this place of some vermin, I'll be right back!***

You have developed your own, unique style for the Vampires: dramatic & eerie. Judas fits WONDERFULLY with that style. VERY WELL DONE!

Pingo;

I love the way you painted Judas, and especially appreciate your admiration of him.

I to thought ho hum when I started painting him, then I landed up doing three in total.

Each one being more different than the previous.  Great Fun, and that cloak is incredible.

I also applied a nail clipper to the too long sword tip.  It worked !

Thanks for sharing it.
