Sneak Peak: Vampire Lord sculpt - WIP
posted February 04, 2010
Here are the first “showable” work-in-progress images of the Vampire Lord 3D sculpt.
They still need additional work (like hands, for example) but things are moving along briskly.
Hope you like it!

“In fact, the Dark Elf will have a completely different set of shoulder armour that will make him look less massive.”
You guys need to stop giving your customers everything we want, it’s a slippery slope to having a loyal fanbase and securing a spot in this niche market! Unless of course, that’s what you’re aiming for.

Yes, the vampire lord is a more massive model. We wanted to have a mini that stands as a legendary character and towers above its own army.
We will post renders with the bat head this week. From what we’ve seen so far, the sculpt with the bat head looks really awesome.
We are also finishing the Dark Elf version. We understand the concerns about the “bulkiness” of this version. The Dark Elf version was requested on several forums, and so we’ve adapted the mini to oblige. In fact, the Dark Elf will have a completely different set of shoulder armour that will make him look less massive.
We are still pondering how we will offer the various options of this kit because currently, there are three heads, three weapons, and two sets of wings in the pipeline! We think that offering two sets of wings in the same package might raise costs, but we’re seeing if we can avoid that with our suppliers.
Concerning the size of the model, the 28mm will actually be about 30mm (from eyes to heels), but that’s taking into account the fact that he is slightly leaning forward. If he were standing up straight, he would be closer to 32-33 mm. The total height with wings will be about 14cm.
Double that for the 54mm version.

It’s certainly massive for a Dark Elf, but I was going to use the 54mm as a war alter statue anyway so I’m perfectly happy with massive!
The downward-facing angle of his face will also work nicely as a dynamic statue towering over my 28mm figures!
How tall are you intending both the 28mm and the 54mm versions to be?

I think this might make a fine demon prince in my new and shiny demon army but for a dark elf it míght be on the massive side indeed.

Looking good so far, i think once the cloak is added it will balance it out well, Will the bat/demon head be available with this model? as the concept scetches were very impressive!

Sorry, but it looks too huge and massive for me. May be better to make him more graceful, equal to the Asharah and Standard Bearers style, not to the “deamon with the great-great sword”. It’s only my humble opinion, thx
