The Order of Vampire Hunters: Warriors

The Warriors from the core set of The Order of Vampire Hunters board game.




As the Vampire adversaries move from Thralls to Warriors I've continued with the monstrous blue theme although I've darkened it down a bit and added blood red wings.

Its interesting to paint monstrous vampires after so much time focusing on the "pretty" bloodsuckers that are so prolific today.

















Here is the hunter Magenta facing off against a throng of Thralls and Warriors.

You can see that the Thralls are much more vividly blue than the Warriors.  I intend to continuing the darkening trend by making the older/stronger Vampire varieties darken down while some "side-grades" like burrowers will remain about this color and the Upyr, or daywalkers will move in a more fleshy direction.











The blue process followed the last batch and then I added a wash of Soft Body Black (Secret Weapon) diluted with a little Glaze Medium (Vallejo), a dry-brush of Stone Golem (Warpaints) and a top dry-brush of Splintered Bone (Reaper).  This process added contrast and, while a darker result it remains very readable.

Magenta's chances looks better after Stephen joins the fray!

This batch completes the top tray of the Core Set.  Tray two Burrowers and Upyr are in the clean up aisle.

3D printed Kingdom Death inspired terrain and some  Brugleburg Fair look to be the next batch to finish up.

I'll have to add some actual Kingdom Death models and some more Raging Heroes to the production line.  I've even seen a GW model or two working through the prep line!
