Vampire: UnderBheit & War-Bat: Newt

This model underwent several changes before the final version. I've tried 3 different arms and a few heads. Below are a few pictures of that progression, followed by the final product.






The final components are as follows:
-Winged Vampire Body; The wing, head and shoulder spikes have been removed.
-Mannfred Von Cartstein Head
-Crypt Ghoul Arm.

The Bat was simply taken fron the Winged Vampire and mounted on it's own base. The base was also easy to make. I just laid green stuff over it and then pressed a wood grain mold and a gravel mold into the putty. The molds were made by pressing the wood grain of a coffin lid into some Super Sculpy and baking it to harden. The gravel mold was made in the same manner.

Necromancer: Dr. O

The Necromancer was taken from the Corpse Cart boxed set and set on it's own base. I took the book under his foot from Flagellant's sprue and the sword is from the Skeleton Warrior's sprue.

Warlock: Curse & Witch: Vex

The Warlock has only one conversion. I removed the dagger from his right hand to achieve a casting pose.



My Witch actually has many more conversions than are immediately obvious. First, I sanded off any embellishments on the robes. Next, I cut out the staff which went from his left hand through his cloak. I then applied Ghoul arms and green stuff cloak sleeves. The head is an Empire Wizard head, but the hair has been removed and sanded down.

^^^Dregs^^^

These models are not available from GW in their current form. They are a hodgepodge of body parts from the Corpse Cart sprue. The torsos are from the Cart Pullers, as are the short sword and axe arms. The heads, legs and arms are from the Cart's Body Pile. However the arms on the center Dreg are from the Crypt Ghoul sprue. The Two-Handed Sword is from the Empire Wizard sprue. I had to tap many holes in it to make it look as weathered as the other weapons in the group. Some parts of the pants and legs were sculpted with green stuff. The joints such as the neck, shoulders and knees were all made from green stuff as well.

~~~Ghouls~~~

There are no conversions here, but I love these models. Best creepy arms in the line.

"Sweet Zombie Jesus!"

The Zombies have little conversion work. I ground down the shoulders and arms so they wouldn't have that 80's shoulder pad look. I also chopped and off and replaced their weapon hands with hands from the Undead Totem on the same sprue. I wanted my warband to be 'What You See Is What You Get." and in Mordheim, the Zombies don't carry weapons, just limbs.
