Vampire count number three!

As mentioned before, my 'head canon' for the current undead force I'm doing is that the four vampires I've acquired are a squabbling 'family' of vampires (likely a set of nobles or...not nobles? all turned by a great vampire who has since disappeared).
 
While not yet named, the big guy on the chariot is the strongman...but the slowest of the bunch.  The winged vampire I did after is the brash, cruel, crazy 'young' vampire.  The more powerful of the four are the remaining two - this is the first.  He'll be the standard general in most of my games - based to slot into a unit of bodyguard miniatures (which I haven't picked out yet).

Some weird Aeronautica shenanigans...

I have a small amount of old Legions Imperialis stuff I painted a year or two ago - but we never did anything with it.  While we debated trying to find some suitable rules for the stuff recently, I picked up some Legions Imperialis kits recently from our local store which is getting rid of their stock at 50% off! (woohoo!).
 
I built and painted these Avenger (ground attack aircraft basically...think an A-10 in 30K/40K).
 
This whole project will probably end up on eBay, but I enjoyed painting the things - didn't enjoy building them.  GW has made the Legions kits artificially complex...basically to sell you "fake" value in parts count, rather than model count.  Even at 50% off, I felt the kits were barely worth their price.
