I assume you mean to WM scale?  No problem - I made three last night! :P

Would be cool to see, though!

Oh - sorry... I was being a jerk!  I haven't really made a conversion of this! (This is what happens when a poor sense of humor fails...)

I do have another project that I am starting to work on, and I just took in progress photos today - I'll be posting that later tonight, but it is not this, nor is it Vampire Counts related...

Impressive, not making vampire count army, but I keep the eye on this.

Sorry to bump an old thread,

Does anyone have ideas on appropriate bits for a conversion like this?

Khemrian undead cavalry would probably be good for the horses- Black Knights don't look skeletal enough
Khemrian spearmen are probably also better as the skeleton footsoldiers- Grave Guard may work though
Vampire Counts ethereal hosts is great for wraiths and ghosts
Khemrian Bowmen are a good source of torsos and heads with fairly minimal cutting
The bowmen may also be the best source of skulls, although if there's an alternate source it would be better
I don't know of a good source for the vampires (and can't see them in the GW add)- A Mortis Engine would be easy enough as the VC necromancer works there.
The stairs would be easy enough using plasticard and, although very fiddly, plasticard could also be used for the bone-rails around the stairs.
A Cauldron from WM Siege would be good for the blood cauldron, but probably too hard to find- maybe something like a bead cut in half and sculpted a bit could work there?

Other than that I think it needs a lot of wire and greenstuff to link the carrying ghosts together, and to try and replicate the flowing curtains and dresses.

I don't collect VC, but this does seem like a tempting conversion to try. (alternatively of course, hire DaveC  :P)

A cauldron from the siege range just sold with other bits for a few price few days ago. And you may try with an epic khorne vehicule that has a sort of cauldron too.

If you want the riders in full plates, maybe you could check the Bretonnian knights, too.

I think a Brettonian Damsel would do well as one of the vampires- she even has a chalice that can be filled with blood and a sitting position for the stairs. The unicorn will likely suffer serious back problems from her removal though...

Yep, a very nice idea Geep had.

And then, will there be an attempt to convert it ?
