HaggisMacbeth Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hey guys, Hoping you can help me out here. Really keen on starting a Soulblight army and will need 20-30 blood knight models. I live in Australia and I'm really not keen on paying $165AUD per five blood knight minis. 165 probably means nothing to you if you don't live here, but for me that's 2 tanks of petrol in my 6 cylinder car, or 8 trips to the cinema, 4 cases of beer or 110kg of bananas ? Given I'm after 30 knights that's more beer than I'm not willing to not drink. What other options are there? I've looked at: - GW moungul knights but they look too small - I've seen some people suggest Dragon Princes but I'm not sure on that one - Not a fan of the Mantic Soul Reavers - The GameZone minis look too busy Any other ideas? I was thinking some easy conversions of human knights but unfortunately the Empire and Bretonnian knights are no longer available. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I would recommend the dragon princes. They really are top notch for proxy blood knights. You can go as simple as painting them red or as a full on conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Chaos Knights or as already suggested Dragon PrincesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageBoss Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just pit some Vampire and/or Dark Elf heads on the Dragon Princes and they look fine. If you want to take it a step further, get the undead shields and bits kit from GW, and use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joakim Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If you do decide for the game zone models they often require lots of GS work but besides that I love their models. Very characterful! i hope you will find a good alternative so you won't be infamiously known as banana guy smacking 110kg of blood knight proxies on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushmagul Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi! I'm doing mine with the Caledor dragon princes, with the VLOZD head and adding some hair with greenstuff (Still wip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea_wild_owl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I converted some chaos knights, but made them more undead Viking style (werewolf instead of vampire). they are great for mounted Wight king or vampire Lord, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If you're looking for vampirey heads to use on counts-as blood knights made from chaos, brettonian, or empire knights, Puppetswar sells a set of them: https://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=482 They look pretty good, though I haven't ordered any myself, so I can't personally vouch for scale or quality.

HaggisMacbeth Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks very much for the feedback guys, really helpful ?? I've decided to go with the dragon blades and do a simple head swap with dark elves. will be building and painting fell bats and bat swarms to start with so will start up a painting blog on here once it's underway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know, Morghouls and Blood Knights got hit hard by the nerf bat in the coming battletome. Might want to rethink your project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to rethink your project Thats not necessarily true. While blood knights loose their ability to regen a model per turn, they gain -1 bravery aura. They also receive +1 attack in Neferatas legion, which is basically the new soulblight. We haven't seen the spells/battalion yet, which could bring back the regen. Otherwise their points are likely to go way down, i would guess 220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamopower Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My idea has been to make my blood knights from the various mounted vampire lords, but having aquired few,the horses might be a dealbreaker. Maybe I'll swich them for black knight's steeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
