So yeah, making a Lahmian VC army has led to an issue - female vampires. GW have 3, one of which looks terrible. The two old Lahmian vampires surprisingly hold up well. I have also found the Gamezone Leonora and the Avatars of War Countess, which are both very nice miniatures. However, other than that, I've found a surprising lack of models to use, even when just looking for female humans.

Reaper have a few, but they tend to be very naked, which doesn't look right when they're leading Undead to war. Does anyone have any good suggestions for alternate female vampires? Preferably in armour with weapons, since with the Avatars of War countess and the GW Lahmians, I have enough magic user vampires.

Well sense you want armored vampires have you tried just looking for human/elf models you like?

I have - but nothing really fits the visual theme I'm looking for, particularly slightly Egyptian to fit in with the Lahmian theme, or just the look of nobility.

Do searches for female or sisters. 40K Battle Sisters or Dark Eldar or Dark Elves have some models.

One thing DukeRustfield, the last pic you've shown is of Sevorina and Sevora from Inquisitor, who are by ,far and away, the wrong scale for WHFB (unfortunately cos they look awesome).

Correct, but the right scale variant looks similar:

The Marianna Chevaux miniature from the mordheim line is a pretty good femvamp. I painted one up as a present for a friend of mine, learned a lot about painting stockings and lace.

That's actually what I'm looking for. The same look as the avatars of war vampire, but different. Do you know of any english websites that sell that? Not sure how I'd go ordering from a website in a language I don't understand.

There's a language shifter to the right that changhes all but the mini's description to english.

I did notice that vampire is a 30mm mini. How does that scale with whatever GW calls theirs?

30mm? Maybe she is more Sigourney Weaver size than Kyle Minogue size, but that's okay for a general.

Yeah, speaking to others, 30mm should be about right since GW's '28mm' models are usually more like 30mm anyway.

Looks like I've got my 4 vampires, thanks guys.

Reaper makes a couple of cool looking vampire or vampire-esque female miniatures.

Found some on coolminiornot. Has anyone ordered directly from them before?

They've got some pretty awesome stuff to use for melee vampires.



Probably use the mad puppet and avatars of war countesses as my magic using vampires, and that and the dual wielding paladin from CMON as my melee vampires.
