Video Tour of My Vampire Counts Army

To accompany the Legion of the Infernal Skull's lore post, I've created a video tour of the entire army.

 

The Legion of the Infernal Skull: Death Eternal

As long as I've been playing Warhammer, I've been creating backstories for my characters and updating the lore as significant events happen in games I've played or in the evolution of the rules.

It has been eight years since my previous army showcase: A Legacy of Death. During that time, I have added several new units and characters, and the Legion's story has progressed through the Age of Sigmar. Now, we have come full circle back to The Old World. The benefit of Vampire Counts is that the undead characters can essentially live forever, so the necromancer Nieman Kimmel and the von Koss vampires would have been around during the year 2276. In fact, as you will read below, my vampires had their origins during Walach's reign at Blood Keep in 1887!

This post is a collection of all the lore I've presented in the past, with updates to incorporate new units and characters, and carry their narrative beyond the End Times into the Age of Sigmar. 

 

Rebasing Blitz!

With my Hexwraiths rebased for the Old World, it's time to tackle the rest of my Age of Sigmar models that can slot into my Vampire Counts army...

Rebasing the Hexwraiths

Time to put my Hexwraiths back on square bases so they can join the ranks of the Legion of the Infernal Skull!

RESURRECTION– The Complete Story

The tale of Korak the Grim and his quest to restore his master, the Necromancer Lord Nieman Kimmel, whose soul was lost during the End Times.  This post collects all six chapters of the Resurrection narrative, along with the origin lore for the Congregation of the Crimson Shroud, which I have included as a prologue.

Vampire Queen Olivia von Koss

My floating vampire queen is finally finished! Here's a look at her and how she came together:

The Black Coach

It's been almost a month since I finished the coach and, while it had a substantial appearance in the Resurrection narrative, I hadn't taken any proper gallery photos of the model. So here we go:

2022 Comes to an End

Taking a look back at the past year, and pondering some plans for next year.

Here's a look at the finished Krulghast Cruciator with his diorama base:

Modeling the Krulghast Cruciator's Diorama Base

I've been making a lot of progress on the Cruciator, and I'm just about finished...

Converting the Krulghast Cruciator, Hobby Bingo, and Twitter

Here's a look at one of the models I've been working on, an update on my Wargame Hobby Bingo progress, and a list of all the places you can find me on social media:

Making a Flagstone Scenery Base

I'm working on a scenic base for model photography, so this is the perfect opportunity to show how I make flagstone bases for scenery.

Library of the Scriptor Mortis

I ended up going in a completely different direction with the bookshelves for the Scriptor Mortis:
