In this video I’m dusting off some old minis to build a massive Vampire counts army, and bringing it up to standard for a huge showdown.
I’ve been challenged to a giant 3000 point Warhammer battle at Adepticon this year by my friend Trent, who many of you may know from the Miscast channel. Its gonna be awesome.

Square bases remind me of my childhood soooo much, and I remember the cost of minis well, I was always more focused on painting than gaming because I couldn't afford to buy big armies. these minis look great, and get me right in the nostalgia. they look like they are straight out of a 90's copy of white dwarf.

The army looks amazing! I saw Morgiana in the thumbnail and it didn't even occur to me she's Bretonnian and not originally a vampire. You're absolutely right that she is a natural fit. I have a little 5th edition Bretonnian army in my pile of shame, including her in her blister, unicorn, toad and all, and I didn't notice. I also have 15 or 16 of those metal Grave Guard in the pile. Wolves however, are quite tricky to find here. One day...

Damn, looking at your minis took me back to the twilight years of Warhammer here in NZ back in the early 2010s. I used to love going to the local GW store and just admire all the dioramas encased in glass they had of battle scenes. Could never afford the figures themselves but I was always fascinated by the attention to detail in the paint jobs and terrain. Good memories.

Gorgeous army. I myself am nearly done painting my Vampire counts army (although this is built for 8th edition, so the unit sizes are pretty big, maybe around 150 models all told). I love how you did the tactical rock for your wight king (I just angled mine on the base), it looks amazing. Finally, one precision. The black knights, even if they're currently on sale for AoS, are actually a sculpt that came out for Warhammer Fantasy (I wanna say for 7th edition, but ai'm not 100% sure, it might have been 8th).
