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:

Hacking the Void Shield Generator
The Games Workshop's Void Shield Generator is a splendid kit but only if you build it differently than recommended on the box. I show step by step how to make a piece of industrial terrain from it, rather than the nouveau riche Christmas tree as recommended officially. »
