Dwarven Vampire

[Samedi]

Next: The dwarven vampire

 

Despite being irredeemably evil, apparently he does not like to create undead minions: "Because they realize the torment that transformation into a vampire causes to dwarves, the vampire dwarf is reluctant to create others of its kind. Thus, it does this only when it feels that it need minions to help it carry out its acts of evil."

 

Unfortunately, those acts of evil have to be committed "in an attempt to ease the misery it feels over having been doomed to an eternal life that it detests." No chance of not acting evil there...

 

But, why not hire some goons instead of this undead minion thing then?

 

I could see a campaign where all the evil guys suddenly act a lot more effective and logical - and the BBEG is a counsellor advising them...😁

Now that's a nice Dwarf!

I happen to love Undead and I don't care much for Elves or Dwarfs but creating Undead Elves and Dwarfs?

YES!

 

Also...love that base.

Great work on both the elf and dwarf. We need more different Vampire subtypes represented in miniatures imo. Undead are my most favoritest foes to throw at players. 

[Chaoswolf]

Great job on him!

[haldir]

I see someone has some old Ral Partha Ravenloft miniatures in their stash. 

 

Great work on him & the elf as well. Love the facial features on this guy.

[jdizzy001]

Great job, very creative

[ReapingBuffalo]

Nice pale evil looking skin, i feel the base really sets the mood as well!

[Rigel]

Durkon Thundershield, is that you?

 

Great job!

[Gantrell]

well that's different. Nice!

[Samedi]

Thanks for all your comments, guys!

 

Yeah, the old 2nd ed. Compendiums had some really weird stuff in them. If I remember correctly, there even was an entry for a vampire illithid in the Ravenloft compendium. I don't have a mini, though, and I'm not sure there ever was one.

Years ago I bought a lot of Ral Partha at sales in local game shops. Got even more Ral Partha minis than reaper, I think. So expect more old school goodness - when I have time to paint.

Love the skin tone on this fellow! Very vampirey!

[Grand Slam]

Definitely my favorite of your three vampires (as I am an absolute sucker for dwarves). Everything I said about the color scheme on your kender vampire applies here as well.

 

I think the lava on the base came out great. You also did a good job on the hair/beard. It's got enough of its own slight color variation to stand out from the pale skin.

 Man, it's getting harder and harder to find the old RP 2nd Ed. figures, and even when you can find them they're stupidly expensive... 

 

Nice job on these guys.
