A bloodsucker born every minute

Cyberpunk Vampire
28 mm

Before the morning can break we retire
The searing heat of the sun we avoid
Await the dark, proud Walachian fighters
Armata strigoi





I have absolutely no idea where this amazing figure is from; I found it in a bitz bin at Nexus Games in Kingston ON a few years ago.  It's cast in delicate light blue resin with a fair amount of flash, so I don't think it was from a board game:


Anyway I was very excited to finally paint it, and it didn't disappoint!  What a cool character.  He's got a mix of high-tech and medieval style armor, and he's wearing an IV that constantly feeds him blood for that all-night vampire fix...

"You must be new in town!  No wonder you haven't met Mr. Pointy..."

    1. Thanks! It's amazing what a printed backdrop and some hobby moss can do... Learned that trick from Jay :)

  2. The mini is cool by itself, right, but your paintjob is ace! Really great job. I paricularly love the cloak and the metals.

  4. What a unique figure, quite rare to see a vampire like this with a sci-fi attire.
    Your paintjob is spot on and fits him perfectly.
