In this video I’m dusting off some old minis to build a massive Vampire counts army, and bringing it up to standard for a huge showdown.
I’ve been challenged to a giant 3000 point Warhammer battle at Adepticon this year by my friend Trent, who many of you may know from the Miscast channel. Its gonna be awesome.

There is something about these old models that really captures the nostalgia of being a smallboye starting out with warhammer so well, much better than any video game out there, especially because these minis are still really there, and not just memories of times long past. I gotta get the highelves from my parents attic. I still have a ton of them.

Gorgeous army. I myself am nearly done painting my Vampire counts army (although this is built for 8th edition, so the unit sizes are pretty big, maybe around 150 models all told). I love how you did the tactical rock for your wight king (I just angled mine on the base), it looks amazing. Finally, one precision. The black knights, even if they're currently on sale for AoS, are actually a sculpt that came out for Warhammer Fantasy (I wanna say for 7th edition, but ai'm not 100% sure, it might have been 8th). The Old World lives!

I have a little 5th edition Bretonnian army in my pile of shame, including her in her blister, unicorn, toad and all, and I didn't notice. I also have 15 or 16 of those metal Grave Guard in the pile. Wolves however, are quite tricky to find here. One day...

I used to love going to the local GW store and just admire all the dioramas encased in glass they had of battle scenes. Could never afford the figures themselves but I was always fascinated by the attention to detail in the paint jobs and terrain. Good memories.

Great looking army Eric 👍 I was fortunate to pick up quite a few different armies from a game store that was going out of business like 9 years ago for a huge discounted deal and the Vampire Counts were part of that purchase. Unfortunately I never got around to building any of that particular army and they’re sitting in a box somewhere in my storage unit. I’m really interested to see what the new Old World game is going to look like and with any luck I may be able to bring some of those armies out of retirement to once again grace the battlefield with their presence.
