[@eriksolie511]

One, ONE vampire painted, ah, ah, ah!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

😂👏👏

[@docremington1589]

I’m thoroughly enjoying this channel.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Good to hear! Thanks mate! 🙌🍻

[@Hedonite]

Warhammer vampires really are the best

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

So much character!

[@deanze]

You gave justice to this amazing old school miniature (as always). Great painter, and even better colour selection.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Too kind! 🙌🤝

[@Amphetabeans]

Happy Birthday ledge! Vampire Counts are one of my absolute fav's, loved this.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! 😊 I’ll definitely be painting up some more soon 🙌🍻

[@KINGPAINTS666]

Love it man! Probably my favourite race in all of WH. You killed this as always, so much so in fact you've inspired me to pick one up

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much dude! Hell yeah! I hope you have fun painting it up 🙌🍻

[@ingot129]

That manta ray headpiece is wild

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

It’s very rock and roll!

[@meccevil321]

I had this vampire, I remember the weight of the metal cloak. And now after decades I am pretty sure he is modeled after the Christopher Lee Dracula.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Yeah it was pretty hefty! After I glued it together it felt like a sinker haha. I can definitely see the Christopher Lee Dracula in it

[@AnHourOfWolves]

For the edge highlight it might help to drag the side of the brush over the edge as opposed to trying to actually paint the edge with the tip of your brush. The side of the brush can easily be manipulated to only touch the edge so is easy and effective! Looks great❤

[@grandfathernebulous]

Awesome job as always. Love the undead from this era.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude 🍻🙌 They are very rock and roll!

[@scottm9605]

Very nice as always. A sneaky trick to unify red blends is a thin glaze of green on top if you're looking for some next level stuff to try. Sounds scary, looks great.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Oh lovely, I’ll definitely give that crack in the future. Tthanks for the tip 🙌🍻🤝

[@stevencatt4026]

Nailed it. Doing a squillion high elf gems lately I really like adding a thick blob of Citadel Technical Ardcoat. Really gives them a glossy glass like appearance. Give it a try!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I do not envy you! But good luck with all those gems mate, I’m sure you’ll smash them out 🙌 thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely give it a crack 🍻

[@mikenadeau8704]

I've got this exact model to.paint too! Thanks for doing rhis.

[@adamf2977]

Happy birthday mate. One of my favourite sculpts too. Amazing job!!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks my dude! Glad you like it! 😊🙌

[@floflotantan]

Awesome !!!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you! 😊

[@Aphaedon]

Happy Birthday! Fantastic paint job as always.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks my dude! I appreciate it! 🙌😊

[@gosonegr]

Halloween Saturday 90s drug. Feed the algo

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha thanks mate! 🙌😊

[@HarmopdenAkker]

Awesome model indeed. Friend of mine had one that I often borrowed for my Undead/VC army. Having experimented a lot with black (Night Goblin robes), I finally settled for simply edge highlighting Eshin Grey over Abaddon Black, with very subtle dot highlights of Administratum Grey - the result is very dark and it's a quick recipe. Anyway, happy birthday and thanks for the video!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks for the tip mate! I might give that a go soon. Glad you enjoyed the video 🍻🙌😊

[@ImaginerImagines]

Happy Birthday, spooktacular mini.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! Glad you like it!

[@jcpouzols]

Happy birthday and good job on the vampire! It looks beautiful

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you very much mate! 🙌😊

[@Malholde]

I'm so glad I found Your channel. Oldhammer and awesome painting skills. Also great work on the vampire, that black collar turned out great; rest of the model is awesome too, but painting black to stand out is so difficult so it needs separate praise :D

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! And thanks for the support! I was a bit nervous painting the black so I’m glad you like it 🍻😊🤝

[@Willabrador]

Wow dude amazing! That cape!!!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🙌😊🍻

[@tonypridham1253]

Happy Birthday Deets, hope you had a great day! Another great sculpt with possibly the thickest cape in history!! Good job with the painting, tough sculpt to paint this one, but you've done well. I hate painting black too, never can seem to get it right, always comes out looking too grey. Keep 'em coming man, always love watching your video's. cheers,

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! It was a great day! yeah when I glued on that cape the weight hit me, it felt like a lead sinker haha. Will do! Hope you have a nice weekend 🙌🍻🤝

[@thewarpaintedorc7872]

Happy Birthday! You really nailed the stripes on the cape. Great job!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Glad you like it! 🍻🙌

[@cybertronbob]

Happy birthday, your channel is fun and wholesome.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I’m glad you are enjoying the channel 🙌😊

[@Ghorghrom]

Awsome video! I have to say ... while newer GW miniatures are "perfect" looking, these old ones do have way more character .... the face alone!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I couldn’t agree more! There is something about the wacky sculpts that makes old WHFB miniatures hard to forget

[@volvser]

Love the purple skin! and the cape looks great! I need some training on painting cape stripes i think! XD

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Glad you like it! 🙌 Just give it a crack and I’m sure you’ll do fine 😊

[@januszskubik5916]

One of worst decisions in my life is to sold this model years ago 🥲 Nice done, as always 👌

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻 Damn! Keep your eyes peeled you might be able to pick one up on the second hand market

[@adamherring9803]

Happy Birthday dude! Hope you've had a good one.Really like how you've made the black/cloak work here. Trying so hard to mke more time for painting to try out some of the things you're doing!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks my dude! It was a great day! Definitely schedule in some time when you can mate, I look forward to seeing some of your work! Hope you had a nice weekend with a few coffees here and there 😎🍻🙌

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support mate! 🍻🙌😊

[@TLP0RT]

The pose and checkered pattern scarf does give me a bit of a "Go team!" feel. Definitely would not be out of place on the stands of a Blood Bowl match! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha yeah I can see that! Thanks so much dude! Hope you had a great weekend 🍻

[@watts18269]

[@titogalleguillos4360]

Happy bday man 🎉

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! 🍻😊🙌

[@sarahgear1681]

Happy Birthday Deets!! 🎉 I'm really curious about the brushes you use, especially the tiny detail brush you used for the Warmaster minis last week?

[@prelatesummers]

Yes please, they look so sharp!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks Sarah! 🙌😊 No worries! I have a big mix of brushes but I mainly use cheaper brush brands like Golden Maple, Reno Art and Micador. I get them in larger packs from my local arts and craft shop, they have good tips and I do replace them fairly often as they are cheaper than other brands. I feel comfortable with a size 0 and 00 but people will say go for a size 1 😂 For finer details I’ve been using an Army Painter Precise Detail BR7001. I just got my hands on a Kolinsky Sable this week so I’m excited to see how it goes. I hope that helps 👍

[@JesseCuster]

Count Curtain.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

😂😂

[@marcuspiristi3043]

Awesome work 👍🏼

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🤝🍻

[@inigobrowning]

I'm not normally a critical person and I really hate sounding negative but if I had to give one harsh suggestion for what you're doing with the channel it would undoubtedly be to keep doing what you're doing ;)

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Hahaha I think I can manage that 😉😎

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 🧛Happy Halloween.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Happy Halloween 🧛‍♂️

[@drakeushellblade1786]

free handing anything is rough I was trying to freehand flames on some 4thed Phoenix Guard's cloaks ended up just doing a bunch of triangles. and what is the back ground music?

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Yeah it’s always a bit tough! I freehanded some tiny flames on a Caradryan cape and it was difficult! It’s a royalty free track by Karl Casey (audio bat) but I’m not sure of the name. He has plenty of great music, check him out 👍

[@footrot17]

Happy birthday mate! Which state are you in? Im in Melbourne

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! Haha I’m not too hung over but I’m a little tired today 😂😎 nothing a couple coffees can’t fix. Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely give that a crack. See you on the next one! 🍻🙌

[@ThomasWinslove]

Great video mate and happy birthday. A couple of tips, hopefully not coming off like a tool. When you’re glazing sometimes it seems like your brush is overloaded. As the consistency becomes very thin and it’s mostly water it’s easy to have too much on the brush. You’ll find you have much more control and not flood the model if you have minimal paint for very thin glazes. Second, I really think you’d benefit hugely from some Kolinsky sable. You’d be surprised how much of a difference it can make. I’d highly recommend Rosemary and Co 33. Size 0, 1 and 2 are great and the quality is unmatched for the price, especially when you factor in how much Australia gets done dirty for art supplies. W&N, Raphael, Escoda and artis opus are great too but the quality gap is negligible to nonexistent. Anyway, just my 2cents, I feel like good brushes are possibly the best investment in the hobby when you’re a keen painter. Keep up the great work, love your style 🤙

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the tips 🙌 I just got my hands on a Kolinsky Sable and I’m keen to see how it goes 😊
