I love RAFM's Vampire Counts / Undead miniatures

In my Vampire Counts army Citadel models are reduced almost to unit fillers (with the notable exception of the Terrorgheist model that I like very much)

Skeletal War Wagon / Corpse Cart from RAFM

Actually this is more a love declaration than a review (let the pictures speak for themselves) but I can't help it: the Skeletal War Wagon is one of my favourite miniatures of all time. I have it magnetised so I can exchange passengers and use it for various gaming purposes, usually as a Vampire Counts Corpse Cart.

Quality of the cast is much better than Games Workshop's fincast. They are made of semi-soft metal resembling lead (so don't chew on them in case they are really just made of lead). The sculpts strive for invoking special feel rather than computer assisted, emotionless perfection.

RAFM's webstore is not easy to navigate, so look for:

I had a great fun installing custom LED lighting and doing a lot of scratch-building and converting, that went into the vehicles, their crews and others. These Ironhead Squat Prospectors were my entry in my local Games Workshop store. »

Bases for terrain elements
A how-to guide simply on making flat cardboard bases? Oh yes! There are some serious pitfalls and easy wins in this. For most "area terrain" like woods or marsh a base is basically the whole thing anyway »
