A marathon run - Dogs of war completed

Finally, its done.
my Dogs of War are fully assembled and painted.

 

This army was built with various variety of miniatures.  

Merchant Princess Conversion

Now that is weird. Why a Princess?

Well, if we take a look at the army collection around the world. Its a male dominated army. Lords and heroes, all males. Boring. Yawn......

So, I decided to break with the tradition and go for a female lord.
The main challenge was there aren't many female miniatures around to fix my army theme. As usual I had to convert and create one to meet my requirement. The lack of female miniatures presented a huge challenge as female has slender body and smaller structure, most of the male miniature has much too big body frame for me to use.

So after more than a year of searching and brainstorming. Here is the final product.

Sword arm is slender enough to be used as a female arm. This sword arm is from the Gamezone miniature mournful knight model.

Female top half is from the Reaper Bone miniature Trista. The lower half mounted legs was the most difficult, can't seem to find the right legs for her for months. Until I finally found something that matched and that is..................the Bretonnia mounted squire. lol.

And that is what left of him here. Poor squire.....got chopped into half. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. 

And here is what left of Trista. Well, she still got her pretty face.

I want lots of armour appearance, so naturally I picked a Warhammer Empire armoured horse. But I didn't like that skeleton icon on horse head so I chopped it off and replaced with a Unicorn. And the result is....a unique one of its kind Merchant Princess

Last is her cape. Robbed from the plastic high elf prince model.

More than a year to make this. Heaven!!!
How did I survive?
LOL.

Working on Dogs of War armies

After years of preparation, finally I got the time to start building warhammer Dogs of War armies. Because it does not have any regular models, I have to source them one by one through multiple providers around the world. And the results is, it is made up of different brands of miniatures.

This group of armies experienced the most conversion compared to other miniatures.

New reigment of vampire counts completed.

These guys been sleeping around my boxes for a long time.

Now they are finally up and ready for eating. Ops...do skeleton eats?

These were obtained from Ebay and arrived in several incomplete bits and pieces, some of it were ruined by its previous owners. I patched them up with my own kits robbed from whatever leftover parts and sprue I had and managed to salvage it back.   

 

Below were from another miniature series by Mantic. I obtained most of it in Ebay and as usual I patched it up nicely. This introduced more variety into my vampire army collections. 

 

Last and final is the completion of the Vampire Lord.

This one is from the Gamezone miniatures, one of the mournful knights.

 

Well. That more or less completed my vampire count collections.
