I decided I wanted to add a bit of diversity to my vampire counts and, while I was at one of the local game stores, this kit called out to me. So I decided to give her a shot. I knew her cloak/robe-thing would flow off of her 25mm base, and I thought I could make that work. But what surprised me was her height. (More on that in a moment here). So I built her up anyway. I was stuck trying to determine which arm to take: the one holding the mask or the bat winged one. Mrs. Neverness thought the bat winged one was best so I went with it.

Back to the height issue; She is definitely taller, by a considerable margin, compared to most of the typical Old World humanoids. But I think I am OK with this as it allows her to stand out rather dramatically during play. I swear I think AOS has gone to a 32mm scale. But that's a topic I haven't enough knowledge to truly explore at this time. So long as she's attached to a unit on the right flank, her clothing can flow off to the side and not interfere with the joined unit.

Now to figure out how to paint her (and her zombie pirate buddy's as well). And eventually this unit of 20 pirate zombies will be getting their own post as I work on them more.

This army is starting to come together and I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. At this point I have a fully painted Tomb Banshee, Spirit Hosts and Skeletons with Spears. And there is definitely more to come!

Such a cool miniature! I built her with the mask instead of the little wing like you. I think your way might be better since that's a really fragile part.
That's so cool, and putting her on the side of the unit works perfectly, so I think you're on the right direction!
Lovely sculpt, but wow, she is even taller than I would have guessed!
Ooh! That's a cool scuplt!
Characters look cooler when a little taller, tactical rock or just height. Nice sculpt
