Mosk:
for those of you collecting or wanting to collect a Vampire Counts army but do not like spirit hosts,( like me) i have a imple way to work around this,
i used cut out wood for bases, dont think its legal for tourny games but for house games 
ashur:
I hate the average spirit host too.
How are you going to paint them? Im working on something similar.
speedygogo:
they look good so far.
al-hashut:
Perhaps you could convert them to show how they died. I know they’re spirits and not zombies, but i think there are headless spirits etc
Mosk:
lol Ya i do not know how I will paint them, do you have any ideas?
Hashut’s Blessing:
As far as I know it is legal for tournaments. Alternatively, you could buy some 40 by 40 bases…
I agree that the spirit host models suck. I’d suggest a similar method as the Undead in LotR, but maybe paint the shields and weapons a little more solidly (after all, they can attack mortal men)…
Mosk:
Good idea, ya I will make the weapons look real …
Hashut’s Blessing:
It just brakes up the mononty, but if you did the clothes well, it’d be too much… Consider painting the helmets and/or armour normally as well if it still looks too plain.
AGPO:
Perfectly legal as long as they’re clearly spirits. Paint em like the Army of the dead for LotR
