this is an extremely well carried out conversion.

Thank you . It was very easy though to be honest, one cut through the middle and a little bit of putty on the arms is all, the rest was just trimming bits and glue

I'm very impressed (which is hard to do) she is brilliant!

She is such a beauty, even if undead! Really good conversion! Will we have a chance to see her painted?

Absolutely.... one day lol. I'll get around to it at some point. The process goes: conversion planning, Conversion doing, Conversion sitting, Conversion undercoating, conversion sitting some more, Conversion painting up to 90%, conversion sitting a lot more, conversion finishing.
The peroid of time in between those stages depends one, how I feel, what the lighting is like (e.g. winter means painting only at the weekends), and what else distracts me, lol.
At this stage I would say you probably shoulden't hold your breath lol.

Ok. Much the same here - i thought for a second that you started to describe me. But, well, you know, hope always dies last.
Right now i`m putting some color onto Blood Knight conversion myself, so the theme is pretty close to me.
Anyway, very good mini, maxxev! She looks like a kind of alive. Well, almost... Good pose, well captured.
Cheers!

that's classy and looks terribly good, I like the fusion of two different vampires!

Thank you.
I picked up the metal one on the cheap and frankly was very un-impressed with her, I bought her in a lot of 4 metal vampires for Β£6 or something (so really cheap) only one them I was planning to use after seeing the rest in the "flesh" (the necrac vamp just doesn't fit the setting, the blood-dragon guys is seriously out of proportion (and his armour is too intricate to try and fix that), that left the ugly female vamp and the guy I posted up a few weeks back).
Basically I was just going to put them back onto eBay minus the guy I was going to use, but I re-assessed the model and realised only the top half was ugly as sin lol. I had the coven throne bits lying around, I just needed to find some suitably sized arms for a female (male elf arms work great) and bish, bash, this is the result. .

at the moment I'm working on female vampires too, I have the three ladies from the chatiot of the vampire counts, and I find them very nice, just that I'm going crazy finding a good pair of legs! even the dark eldar legs are too thick for those bodies!

You could try using shaved down empire militia legs like I used here: [link]
Or maybe some flagellent lets, I have also seen people use the top half of demonette legs with need boots sculpted on the bottom half. In general though GW don't do enough female bits for conversions.
Good luck.

thank you for the suggestions, I solved using legs from a Dark elf rider with some knife work to make them a bit more thin. anywa You are totally right, GW should make more female bodies!

Some female inquisitor miniatures from GW WH40k range also can be useful.

you mean cult of the death assasins? good idea, but they're hard to find isn't it?

Expensive route to go down though!
