Heres a pic of one of my blood knights WIP.

That looks really cool, have you thought about slicing a few chunks out of the scales and green stuffing some internal organs / tissue / other gribbly bits?

60+ in a single go for 5 minutes? Maybe when I win the lottery. One of the concerning things that put me off my beloved VC's is the cost of running an army. Just 10 GW skellies for 15 is madness also.

What's funny is that GW sells a set of 5 push-fit Skellies for £6 so buying two sets of them works out cheaper than buying the set of 10. Admittedly you don't get unit command pieces and all of them will be posed the same way but it'd save you £3.50 per 10 Skeletons.

Yeah i was thinking about either that or giving it some sort of wings or some arrows into its body as well as a spear through its stomach..

I've done this a bit with Orc Boyz. And back when Boar Boyz were metal and a box of 5 set you back £35, I bought 5 Boars for about a fiver and then just stuck 5 Boyz on top of them. A bit of green stuff and effort later and huzzah, discount Boar Boyz!

There are loopholes in what GW sell, you just gotta find them

My only particular gripe with the models beyond the price is that they look like they're bouncing along. Bunny hopping Blood Knights just doesn't seem very intimidating as it were.

Also as they're the same points per model as a unit of Cairn wraiths I'd prefer to use them as they're ethereal, more controllable and if you really want you can stick a Banshee in there too.

i dont have the blood knigths either im hoping when i go to LA next month to get some dragon princes to convert i cant afford 100 dollars for 5 models aint got the income.

I mean i have 1500 points of VC's and i still need another 30 skeles and 20 grave guard.

I still have 20 zombies to do and i feel meh about it and 8 more dire wolves left
