Obviously these would have to be fan-made, but nevertheless, what Armies of Infamy would you want to see for the Vampire Counts in the Old World?

Personally, I would love to see something like the old Von Carstein army list, with some limitations but the addition of living human troops drawn from the Empire army list. That's one that I'm trying to make.

What else? A savage vampire army made of Strigoi and ghouls? Other vampire bloodline armies?

Hi all. I was playing Vampire Counts at the tail end of WHFB, just in time to rebase them for Age of Sigmar, and now I'm putting them back on squares to use them in the Old World. I am still a little dubious about the long term fate of the legacy armies, but I'm not really using them for Age of Sigmar anyway, and between work and having a kid, I don't know how long it's going to be before I can set out to get a big army fully painted... but these guys are painted and ready to go! So I'm going to go for it. I don't know if my Vampire Counts are going to fully supplant my Empire army, but my Empire army is still mostly in boxes and these guys will be able to hit the table in a couple of weeks, once I get some bases and trays. So... I'm very excited to be back.

Here's my problem: for some reason, I have a last-generation plastic zombie dragon almost fully painted... but I have vampire rider to put on him. I don't know what happened to it. Maybe I used it for something else? Maybe the bits are just lost.

So I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a replacement rider I could get without breaking the bank. Old metal Fantasy-style riders are ridiculously expensive, and most of what I find when I search are reasonably cool vampire-looking characters modeled riding on horses, and I don't want to have to cut and scrape to remove them. I could get something printed, but I don't have my own printer, so finding a third party model for sale somewhere is probably more economical than buying an STL and then finding a service to print it in resin and ship it to me.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have metal Konrad and Vlad von carstein also finecast isabella andy advice for painting metal its my first time. Model is cleaned and based.

So I’ve been working the below list to get a nice and easy army on the battletop

I’m thinking

Zombies and skeletons easy to do
I can proxy actual GW models for bases (tomb stones and the like)
I can still have some nice units like the Mortis engine and blood knights
Third party proxy options too

How does it play
I’ve heard wailing dirge is a good special rule to make the lists strong 💪

Greatings, Children of the night, I have aquired the metal Vlad,Konrad and Isabella(finecast) Von Carsteins, and with there sloted 20x20 base. But I have 25x25 bases that feel better, Im using them from home games of Fantasy Battle not for age of sigmar. Would putting them on 25x25 work? Does that fuck with anything?
