Might be of some use to you Undead players out there!



Enjoy!

Well it was bound to happen... Troll Forge Miniatures put out something I absolutely hate. Zero redeeming qualities IMO

It's the head. It's horrid.

The rest is pretty cool.

I say the wings are what puts me off. I mean, WTF? The body's fine, the head is alright in a nurgly way, the paintjob is EXCELLENT, but those wings, my god...

Looks more like a Boar some wag has stapled wings to, and clearly isn't too chuffed about it.....

Blech!

I like it, will look right at home in my vampire counts army.

Here are some better pictures of the creature!

Ok, that's disgusting. Thanks for posting.

No sir, I don't like it!

It has a fat tail?

And tusks?

How does a vampire "feed" with tusks like that?

That is a disapointing performance.

This is without a doubt, the most horrid concept of any kind of bat I have ever seen. First the pose is beyond slowed. It look like it just got smacked to the ground and then kicked around a bunch.

Second, When the hell did a bat get a fat, oversized, bulbous tail and tusks?

Third, there's nothing redeeming about the head, or detail sculpt, except maybe the spine on its back.

Fourth, it looks like a nurgling that Papa had too much fun toying with by pulling on all of its fiddly bits.

I think the sculptor should pay attention to how real bat wings look next time >.>

And mm.... rat / boar / bat chimera?

The best undead pig-wyvern I've ever seen...

It has no resemblence to a bat.

Someone get a photo of a vampire bat and show it to this guy, allow him the chance to resculpt now, before this becomes his 'nagash' and haunts him to his end times.

In my opinion, there's no such thing as a "better" picture of this model... it's terrible.

Seriously, this thing looks like it has man bird pig flu. Put it (and us) out of its misery.

Good Lord! I don't think Nurgle could Crap out something worse than this. Speaking of Crap, thats what this "bat" looks like it is doing with that silly pose and face, the fat tail should be painted brown to make it look beliveable. The sculpter either just took a Crap on the base and called it a day, or took a Crap on his sculpting record. I Dub this bat "Guano"


"Lets' see, what does a bat look like...Long fat tail..Dinosaur stuppy legs..Useless wings...TUSKS.....Oh and they howl at the moon! Yep thats a bat."

That is one Fugly model.. No way I'd buy that thing.

Some harsh crit here, funny juveniles.

Take a look at vampire counts page 53, entry for the Abyssal Terror. Check the picture too...

This is an Abysall terror. It fits perfectly with the current Vampire Counts design.

Half of those snubs had to be a joke.

Funny Juveniles?
Hardly.

"I copied and scultped something from John Blanche's really REALLY horrible concept art." is a very poor excuse, IMO.

P/S: Sorry about the WoW referrence, I just couldn't resist
