Prompted by Mr Mystery's thread - [URL="http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?40179-A-Tale-of-literally-some-gamers-Getting-started-in-Warhammer-for-all-ages"]A Tale of literally some gamers[/URL] - I'll be keeping a project log as I work through the Sigmar's Blood campaign book. You can expect to find plan, build and painting progress of the Vampire Counts side, along with some Empire characters I'll be painting for my regular opponent!
Updates should be at least weekly, but likely more often than that, as I'm counting on the pressure of the BOLS forum to force me to stick to schedule. Please assist me by cajoling, jeering, insulting, criticising, trolling, begging, complimenting or ignoring me as you see fit!
====================
First off 'The Plan':
My usual, 'buy what I like, finish whenever I have time' approach generally leads to me getting nothing completed for myself as I flit between projects for myself & other people. As a result, I've planned my purchasing to fit the campaign, with a few amendments to the suggested forces as below:
Chunk 1 - VC Battleforce - Status: Built!
Corpse Cart
20 Ghouls
20 SW w/ HW&S
10 Dire Wolves
Chunk 2 - Status: Purchased:
Count Mannfred
30 SW w/ Spears
3 Crypt Horrors
Chunk 3 - Status: Purchased:
Vampire on Foot w/ Shield
Necrarch Vampire on Foot
5 Hexwraiths
Black Coach
Chunk 4 - Status: Awaiting purchase:
FW Wight King BSB
5 Black Knights
20 extra SW w/ HW&S (Purchased)
====================
I'll eventually come back to this first post and edit in the completed force, but for now, a preview of what's to come by way of some photos of the first model I've done for the campaign, the Arch Lector from the third battlescroll:

Right Shot
Apologies for the average photography, shot from my phone rather than the camera + lights.
