Default Fixing the New Vampire Model

For anyone like me who loves 75% of the bestial vampire with the giant stupid wing over his head I found a quick solution for you. You can cut the arm off completely take the shoulder off as well. Then you need to get yourself Storm Vermin arms. The ones holding the halberds. There should be an armored arm the halberds and another hand attached. Cut away the halberd and hand and you have an arm with a similar armor style to the left hand. From there you can put on a shield or dress up the right arm to look a little cleaner without any niks in the armor. After that if you want a really clean job do it up with green stuff, but it doesn't look to bad right now before I've started to pretty it up. It's doable for anyone who can use flat headed cutters. Really quick I just wish that the bits order system was still up for people without access to storm vermin arms.

Update. Used the flesh technique from the last white dwarf, even have blue veins in the side of his head. I went a little lighter than the Manfred's skin though. I lowered the shoulder by a little bit and fleshed out the right pectoral with putty. Also added a shield to help balance him out.

It might be the angle of the pic. The center of the shield is pinned to the center of his forearm.

I just found it to be too big. If it was more reasonable sized or folded over I would have liked it. In fact I love the wing it was as nicely sculpted as the rest of the model but it is entirely too much when it is on a 20mm character. I'm trying to find something to put the wing on.

i can see where your comming from tho, just that one wing can be a bit overpowering. id rather have someone focus on the whole mini instead of just that wing.
