• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
• 0:11
  fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A fake, yeah. Whoa.
• 0:15
  As I say, Dick. Welcome to episode 159 of the
• 0:21
  Elitons Podcast. It's going to be a pretty cool
• 0:24
  episode. This week we got a couple more
• 0:26
  figures in hand to do a little review of what some of us have.
• 0:30
  And, you know, we can tell you what they're like in hand.
• 0:34
  Do they live up to the expectation?
• 0:36
  And the others can, you know, look forward to their packages
• 0:39
  arriving whenever they ship them from their pile of loot.
• 0:42
  Now, isn't that right? I do have a big package.
• 0:48
  I always have the biggest package interns, so I'm always.
• 0:50
  Happy you do you get the bed to yourself.
• 0:57
  Yeah, you're spoiled. And and we're also going to go
• 1:01
  through a bunch of riches, custom vampires, so look at
• 1:05
  that. Yeah, we did.
• 1:06
  Ages. Didn't we?
• 1:07
  We did the red aliens. Yeah, seems to like that.
• 1:10
  So yeah, the characters, the BIOS, the builds.
• 1:14
  Here we go. I think people get ideas, don't
• 1:17
  they, listening to what you've done, which is very cool.
• 1:19
  I think people that like it really like it.
• 1:22
  And then there's others that don't care, but they don't, you
• 1:25
  know, this is don't care anyway, so.
• 1:30
  If I don't care? If you don't care.
• 1:33
  If you don't care, anyone. Doesn't care about my vampire
• 1:37
  BIOS. Stay safe out there.
• 1:42
  And in honour of the in stock sale that will be going on when
• 1:45
  the day this is released or just after, nobody cares if you got
• 1:50
  car checked or OK, 15 seconds or forgot about it.
• 1:55
  Your alarm didn't go off. You were in a work meeting, your
• 1:58
  boss called you into a meeting and you know, your dog shut the
• 2:03
  bed and then you had to clean it up and you missed the start of
• 2:05
  the in stock said, all that kind of stuff.
• 2:08
  Nobody really cares except you, you know.
• 2:10
  So deal with that yourself. Yeah, we.
• 2:15
  Do care about all the cool scores you had though, and
• 2:19
  especially when you get them in hand posting cool pictures of
• 2:22
  them. We definitely care about that.
• 2:24
  Yeah. So let's go for that.
• 2:27
  And at the figures that we are going to be reviewing in hand
• 2:31
  are two of the retailer waves, so the the Cosmic and the
• 2:34
  Mythic, the Vernales Iron scale and the Phantom Trooper.
• 2:39
  They'll nod to the Hoard Trooper from MOTU and because I think
• 2:45
  only Rich got the figures and they're sitting in my basement
• 2:49
  right now. I got I got the figure address
• 2:52
  as well, but they're they're also in they're also in a pile
• 2:55
  of loot. OK.
• 2:57
  Well, you said that, John. Sounds like they've been held
• 2:59
  for ransom in your basement. They're in my basement at the
• 3:01
  moment. Funnily enough, my my daughter
• 3:05
  was doing, she had a history exam this week and one of it was
• 3:10
  ancient Greece and also ancient Egypt.
• 3:14
  So we had to go through all the lots of intervention Egypt, it
• 3:18
  wasn't mega in detail but you know, to be familiar with who
• 3:22
  they were and what their general role was.
• 3:24
  So I have to go over that. You've given the two of yours to
• 3:28
  take for a show and tell. Uh, I did that previously or it
• 3:32
  certainly gave them when we studied them originally when,
• 3:34
  when we had homework to do with the, the whole thing.
• 3:39
  She was, she really likes cats and I gave her best at the
• 3:41
  course and I didn't get that back for a few days.
• 3:44
  So it's pretty cool. And yeah.
• 3:48
  And we'll have Toth in the in stock sale.
• 3:51
  So that'll be fun. And Speaking of Toth, we got
• 3:58
  some more info about Mr Toth in the in stock sale.
• 4:03
  We're going to get a a chance to get the all in as usual, which
• 4:07
  we did in that legions con. So it's a mug and a pin also
• 4:11
  sold separately. Mug 12, pin 10, I believe.
• 4:15
  Limited quantities, of course, although I think if if this is
• 4:19
  your main goal, top figures, no limits.
• 4:23
  So I think you get the figure should be pretty easy to pick
• 4:25
  up. And if you're looking for the
• 4:27
  mug and the pin and you're not too concerned about the other
• 4:30
  stuff from the in stock sale, you'd probably be able to get
• 4:33
  out pretty easily with these because people would be crying
• 4:37
  about missing certain gladiators and stuff like that.
• 4:42
  Revenants and warrior figures. I predict that's it's going to
• 4:47
  be the big YEAH. The bloodbath.
• 4:49
  That's what. So this is a pretty cool mug.
• 4:54
  I mean, I if I'm ordering I will definitely throw in a pin, but
• 5:00
  the mug, wow, kind of makes me want to just do the all in, but
• 5:05
  I don't want another figure, so yeah.
• 5:09
  It's a sort. Go on.
• 5:11
  I was going to say, it's a sort of mug you want to take to the
• 5:13
  office and see how many times people try and pronounce what's
• 5:15
  written on it. Thought yeah, really nice.
• 5:24
  The mug and the pin appeal, but I don't need another Toth.
• 5:28
  Yeah. So umm, I definitely would like
• 5:32
  to pin because I think I have them all.
• 5:34
  So that's where that's where it gets into a tricky situation.
• 5:40
  The collector starts. Oh no, I I never got the ghost
• 5:44
  to Christmas past the lady so umm I don't have her pin but
• 5:50
  then I didn't that didn't bother me so let's see.
• 5:55
  I do like that pin though the the top.
• 5:58
  So more news about the in stock sale.
• 6:02
  This was the main main 2 news items this week.
• 6:04
  Was that tough? And $25 mystery figures.
• 6:10
  So in a nutshell, for every $100 worth of stuff you order, you
• 6:16
  can add one of these $25 mystery figures.
• 6:20
  So you don't get to choose what figure, but you can just add a
• 6:25
  mystery figure to your cart. It doesn't count towards your
• 6:27
  next 100, so bear that in mind, but if you got like the armoury
• 6:35
  all in and another figure that would be over 300.
• 6:38
  So then you could purchase three of these $25 figures.
• 6:43
  And Horsemen have published this picture.
• 6:46
  We have it here. So it's a bunch of figures.
• 6:47
  It's basically most of the figures they have in stock on
• 6:50
  their website currently, a lot of them anyway.
• 6:56
  Anyone going to go for this? No there's.
• 7:03
  I was debating getting one or two wheel guards anyway because
• 7:06
  I really like the patina armour. Maybe another swig.
• 7:11
  I hate to say it but it's called goblin.
• 7:14
  It's called Goblin. Body this then.
• 7:15
  Yeah, but then the blue Haggon, which is just an abomination of
• 7:19
  the figures in there. Azar is horrible, Samir scroll
• 7:25
  water just needs to be melted down and started again.
• 7:27
  It's like, you know, there's a lot of figures that I would be
• 7:30
  furious if I got so. Cool.
• 7:34
  Maybe. Just agree you don't need more
• 7:35
  than one of them. Yeah, that's problem with them.
• 7:41
  They don't just be fodder and the ones I've I've probably gave
• 7:46
  or I think I've got fodder from them already.
• 7:51
  So I just, yeah, it just wouldn't be worth it.
• 7:53
  And I think actually being it's probably one of those things
• 7:56
  that works better if you're in the US than in in abroad because
• 8:00
  of shipping, shipping costs and duty and everything like that on
• 8:08
  top. So yeah.
• 8:10
  Yeah, if I ended up with the blue paganon and Azar.
• 8:14
  I mean, let's not slander Samir anymore.
• 8:17
  Maybe a Romulus or or, you know, or a gas bar.
• 8:21
  I'd be like, oh, you're kidding me.
• 8:22
  Well, that's $75. They're just pissed away.
• 8:25
  Yeah, yeah, I must admit they're probably 3 of the ones that'd be
• 8:29
  like, hang on, I wouldn't mind so much, but.
• 8:35
  But remember, this is the craziness of all this
• 8:39
  collecting. At one stage, Ramilis was a $200
• 8:44
  figure because he was rare. He hadn't been in an All Stars
• 8:51
  and he, you know, a lot of fans had joined the line subsequent
• 8:56
  to him being released. And he's a gladiator.
• 9:00
  Pretty cool. OK, the mismatched arm, which is
• 9:03
  common and a lot of those type of characters isn't the best
• 9:08
  when you wanted for customs, but if you wanted one of these
• 9:12
  characters, it was desirable, very desirable back there.
• 9:18
  I think if you're, if you're happy to get figures you won't
• 9:22
  necessarily use straight away and happy to leave them on being
• 9:25
  in a box for a couple of years and then maybe use some parts or
• 9:27
  something. It's a really great idea.
• 9:30
  But when we're paying like, you know, input VAT and that sort of
• 9:34
  stuff on top of the price, it's just too much your risk.
• 9:37
  And I'd rather pay the extra $12.00 and know that I'm getting
• 9:40
  an I'll GAR rather than 25. And I may get an I'll GAR and
• 9:44
  may not. If you're new to the line and
• 9:47
  you don't have any of these. Yeah.
• 9:50
  It's definite. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 9:55
  But I think if I did get some of these and they got blue agnon
• 10:00
  and say a swig, I would cry. Not not on the cabal, just cry
• 10:05
  to myself. So, but I think of all these,
• 10:14
  yeah, a lot of these I I would have had, I would have an extra
• 10:17
  of the ones that I like of these.
• 10:18
  So don't don't necessarily need to participate, but it's great
• 10:24
  for people for getting cheap figures, you know, these builder
• 10:27
  prices so. Absolutely.
• 10:30
  Yeah, and some of them are cool. I mean, like Zende is, you know,
• 10:32
  great set of parts there. Yeah.
• 10:34
  The. 2 The two Armoury Knights, Duban Lee J You know, there's
• 10:39
  some really cool stuff in there, it's just.
• 10:43
  Gasper is pretty cool. Yeah, not for me, but there's a
• 10:46
  lot of good parts with him. Definitely.
• 10:47
  Yeah, even them, even garage. Yeah, there's.
• 10:52
  Yeah, it's very cool, in fact, for parts.
• 10:55
  It's a learning guard as well. It's great.
• 10:57
  Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. Forget the soft good loincloth
• 11:01
  and the regular. So, yeah, all right, let's leave
• 11:06
  that there. We've had our say and so that's
• 11:10
  all the news. Should we?
• 11:11
  Because we need to leave space at the end for Rich's vamps.
• 11:16
  So should we get into this quickly, into these figures in
• 11:19
  hand? Yeah, let's do it.
• 11:22
  Right Faden. I always say his name wrong, but
• 11:25
  I think that's how. Faden.
• 11:28
  Yeah, the horsemen and the O'Neill design, how they say it.
• 11:33
  So Faden and Blue Spaceman basically.
• 11:39
  Very cool. Yeah, So I have him right here,
• 11:43
  you can see. So he looks in hand.
• 11:46
  His camera came out pretty well I would say.
• 11:48
  Yeah, yeah, he's a. Great looking figure.
• 11:51
  I do, I do have these because I got them from the horsemen, but
• 11:55
  I just haven't cracked him open yet and the blue is so nice, the
• 11:59
  slightly metallic effect. Nice bit of weathering on him as
• 12:03
  well. I have this little figure that
• 12:08
  you got. Yeah, just can't if.
• 12:12
  We got. Legions can't.
• 12:14
  Yeah. From was it.
• 12:16
  Brett got it. Yeah, Brett got them for us.
• 12:19
  We picked them up at Legions Can.
• 12:20
  They had a preorder. That's right.
• 12:23
  Yeah. So yeah, slightly different
• 12:25
  Blues, but you know that's how it's going to be and doesn't
• 12:30
  bother means like. So I think the interesting thing
• 12:32
  about this figure is the the kind of armour that goes over
• 12:38
  the Tusk. So this this little piece here
• 12:42
  at the front is it goes over the Tusk armour and the Poldrans go
• 12:48
  in the back to kind of make to kind of make it see there.
• 12:54
  Right. So slots over the top, right?
• 12:56
  Yeah, you. See it there?
• 12:58
  Yeah, that's the that's the standard kind of Tusk chest.
• 13:03
  Yes. Oh, cool.
• 13:05
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 13:06
  And then you get the, you get basically the lower parts, which
• 13:11
  is like, eh, Velux Pier for example.
• 13:15
  Yes. Yeah, and they are the cuffs
• 13:19
  down, isn't it? The forearms down.
• 13:22
  Yeah. Exactly.
• 13:24
  And I see, eh, I have given them the wrong little, eh, the wrong
• 13:31
  hologram, but there you go. So they're they're getting to
• 13:33
  get their wires crossed. John, it's your figures.
• 13:36
  You can give whatever you like dude.
• 13:38
  Exactly, exactly. I took off the parts out and it
• 13:41
  was kind of messing around. I suppose.
• 13:45
  I didn't check. I just logically it would be the
• 13:48
  other way around. But yeah, makes sense in terms
• 13:51
  of like the blue with the blue one, or at least maybe not
• 13:56
  logically, but at least that's how I would see it.
• 14:00
  Seeing your one there, sorry, the unhelmeted head looked even
• 14:06
  cooler in person. From what you just showed, it
• 14:08
  look really a. Lot of depth, yeah, a lot of
• 14:10
  depth to it. And you can see there it's not
• 14:13
  let's see a lot of depth to it. It's really very cool.
• 14:21
  It's kind of here. It's great, isn't it?
• 14:24
  But there's a lot of nice wash on it and a little bit of
• 14:30
  highlights as well. So looks great.
• 14:32
  And you also get the arm cannon. So you see you have the regular
• 14:37
  arms, 2 normal arms and an arm cannon.
• 14:40
  This is a cool new piece. I think people like Karma
• 14:46
  Customs are making a little flame effect and a laser effect
• 14:52
  with that you can put a light into or the yeah, this isn't one
• 14:57
  of the different heads. It's kind of like a helmet
• 15:00
  helmet E type effect and. I think with the with the arm
• 15:04
  cannon as well, people have taken bits off the gun, haven't
• 15:07
  they? The long cosmic gun, yeah, the
• 15:10
  drill bit wherever and use that and it fits into it as well.
• 15:13
  So. Yeah, you also get like a
• 15:18
  helmeted head that's pretty much like, it's almost like it's
• 15:22
  moulded over the skull. Yeah.
• 15:26
  Yeah, and there he is there. And of course, Trevor, with
• 15:33
  these amazing shots, So good. Yeah.
• 15:37
  And I really like the blue, the Blues on this guy.
• 15:40
  There's there's subtle little shimmer to it, a bit of depth,
• 15:44
  almost like a wash as well. Really, really well done.
• 15:50
  And the grey is this kind of nice matte, so it contrasts
• 15:54
  nicely with it and the figures move really well.
• 15:58
  Really like I mean, I think if you've got the cosmic, it's it's
• 16:02
  not much different, but nice to see that there's no there's
• 16:07
  definitely no tolerances issues with these things moving exactly
• 16:12
  as we'd expect. Fanost then is the purple one,
• 16:16
  so the kind of anti fade in. I'm not sure if that's correct
• 16:22
  in the story. There is no story on the
• 16:24
  horseman website to read for these.
• 16:26
  I'm sure the story is elsewhere and you see see all the stuff
• 16:31
  you get with him. So I'll keep him here with the
• 16:36
  with the wrong hologram, but you can see so so he looks in hand.
• 16:40
  So looks good looks really. There's plenty of depth in the
• 16:46
  in the head. This little thing is a collar
• 16:49
  piece, so I don't know. OK, so you get a neck under
• 16:55
  there. It's like the standard Tusk
• 16:57
  Nick, and that's a little. Oh wow, that's really good idea,
• 17:02
  yeah. It's like a same type of system,
• 17:06
  like a like a collar that you would get a nice figure or
• 17:10
  whatever. Yeah.
• 17:11
  So very cool. Yeah, it's cool.
• 17:16
  I mean, I, I, I was straightaway drawn to the, you know, the
• 17:20
  character heads. Yeah.
• 17:22
  Just the helmets. Yeah.
• 17:24
  Zoidberg. Yeah, well, it was that it was
• 17:28
  the pink brain head that massively appealed about fanos
• 17:32
  to me. And the colours are very cool as
• 17:35
  well. But that head, definitely.
• 17:37
  Yeah. Yeah, the purple is great,
• 17:39
  aren't they? So there he is there looking at
• 17:43
  his hologram, he's so he's essentially the same built, you
• 17:51
  know, in terms of terms of parts, legs, everything is the
• 17:54
  same. It's just paint.
• 17:59
  That's the difference here in the hologram and, and this head,
• 18:03
  you know, the, the brain head, the colour piece again, purple
• 18:09
  really nicely done, kind of slightly shimmery with the mass
• 18:14
  kind of I don't think it's black as as as very, very dark blue
• 18:19
  maybe to say maybe. Another very cool picture.
• 18:26
  Yeah, another very cool Trevor Williams picture and then my
• 18:31
  pictures with the. Lad, I'm saying cool.
• 18:34
  Just took a picture, then put a little.
• 18:37
  I just made the background then myself, so very cool.
• 18:44
  Tusk Phantom Trooper so. Another one really striking
• 18:49
  colours. Yeah.
• 18:51
  And this, especially this red, it's done really well on this
• 18:55
  figure. So you can see him here.
• 18:59
  I have chosen the MOTU head that they actually don't really
• 19:04
  feature in any of the pictures, I suppose sensibly enough.
• 19:08
  So you can see, see that red. Yeah.
• 19:11
  It's. Really good, yeah.
• 19:13
  Almost slightly different to what's on the colour.
• 19:16
  I don't know if that's noticeable.
• 19:20
  Yeah, yeah, it looks a bit darker on the colour, but that
• 19:23
  works, doesn't it? Yeah, and then this head
• 19:26
  actually clips. I remember it started cosmic.
• 19:29
  They had some issues with this east of the helmets with the
• 19:32
  they had to throw in a baggie of corrected ones and stuff.
• 19:37
  But I think he's, I think he's one of my favourite Tusk now
• 19:41
  because I think because of the matte paint, you know, he's not
• 19:45
  shiny, but all the different parts are kind of painted
• 19:49
  contrast to each other. So you've got the light grey,
• 19:52
  the, the kind of almost middle grey and then the black and then
• 19:56
  of course the bright red. And it just works really well
• 20:00
  and it shows, you know, it shows up all the different sections of
• 20:04
  the armour really well. Very cool, I really like the
• 20:10
  head you've got on him, it does look so good.
• 20:13
  Yeah, got got three of these. Did you get these, Richard?
• 20:18
  I don't remember. No, I'm not a huge fan of the
• 20:21
  colours. It was the red.
• 20:24
  It just didn't work for me and I'm probably not buying as much
• 20:28
  cosmic because I used to in the past anyway so.
• 20:30
  Yeah. Combination of the two.
• 20:34
  So this this kind of cosmic head looks still looks really good
• 20:40
  with the visor. So they have the they have the
• 20:44
  visors. Are you also get a clear visor.
• 20:49
  Oh, cool. So you get the red it's like,
• 20:52
  you know, paint, so opaque paint.
• 20:57
  But you also in the packet get a clear red visor for this helmet.
• 21:02
  Oh wow, and. Also for that helmet, yeah.
• 21:05
  And that's actually how they come packaged in, in the box
• 21:08
  with the clear and. I like.
• 21:13
  That. So that's even more options to
• 21:15
  me, yeah. Makes me need more of them.
• 21:17
  I can't remember how many I bought.
• 21:20
  I think I might only have picked up the one in the end so I have
• 21:23
  to get more. Yeah.
• 21:28
  So that's the toss factor. He has a bio man.
• 21:30
  We we do the bio. Yeah, I can do the bio.
• 21:33
  Right. I leave.
• 21:34
  I leave driver's school picture up while you do that.
• 21:38
  While the Traders Union of the Five Circles of Kuzmere and
• 21:41
  maintain numerous facilities throughout the universe, their
• 21:45
  primary headquarters are located in Mesos as part of the High
• 21:50
  Economic district of the Third Ring, discreetly providing
• 21:54
  security to the vast complex that is the centre of the
• 21:57
  Union's strength of the soldiers known as Tusk Phantom Troopers.
• 22:02
  Despite the fact that the Traders Union officially
• 22:04
  maintains that the Phantom Troopers do not exist, there are
• 22:08
  countless records of these coldly efficient soldiers in
• 22:11
  action. Room has it that their ranks are
• 22:14
  comprised of both organic soldiers in heavy armour as well
• 22:17
  as fully mechanised drones outfitted with the same gear,
• 22:21
  completely indistinguishable from each other.
• 22:24
  The organic soldiers provide strategic direction as unit
• 22:27
  commanders, using the mechanical troops to quickly and violently
• 22:31
  quote any threats to the tusks. Complex.
• 22:38
  That's pretty cool. No, certainly not to to the
• 22:42
  source material there that, you know, these were the ones that
• 22:45
  you could kill on the show because they were robots.
• 22:48
  Yeah, and he man wasn't allowed to or Shira as well wasn't
• 22:55
  allowed to kill anyone that was real, so or human or whatever.
• 23:01
  So only robots, these were the cannon fodder.
• 23:08
  This So this is kind of Outpost Axius again.
• 23:11
  Now it even says Outpost Axius on the side of the box.
• 23:14
  Oh really? They gave me the yeah.
• 23:15
  Cool, I suppose it saves them having to make more packaging,
• 23:20
  doesn't it? And it fits with that part of
• 23:22
  the story. Definitely, yeah.
• 23:25
  I think these would look very good on the shelf with the Red
• 23:28
  Jet Pilot I. Can't wait to get that new
• 23:32
  helmet for the red jet as well the once you come within the new
• 23:39
  wave high high high low crane helmet for the red jet.
• 23:42
  I think that. Oh yeah, and the cosmic Yeah
• 23:45
  character packs the second. Yes, so excited about those
• 23:49
  character still. I did this little picture, so
• 23:52
  again I just took a picture on the shelf with a bit of lighting
• 23:56
  and put a background behind it. What people can't see the behind
• 24:01
  the scenes is that he'd gone, that the Tusk trooper had gone
• 24:05
  nuts and knocked down every other member of John's.
• 24:10
  Collection. Yeah, there's a bunch of.
• 24:12
  Figures laying the ground. So John had no choice but to
• 24:16
  take a picture of it. Yeah, exactly.
• 24:19
  Crop them out and then put this royalty free background in eh.
• 24:28
  So very cool. Love him.
• 24:31
  Great addition to cosmic. Now we have all.
• 24:35
  I think I'm fully up to date on cosmic now.
• 24:38
  Oh, he's just a nice no, I'm another scale now.
• 24:44
  This guy I was so excited for. He's so cool.
• 24:49
  And yeah, this, this, this in hand review is getting a pretty
• 24:53
  boring and chilly because they're all good.
• 24:57
  What can I say? Look at them there and
• 25:01
  absolutely. So good.
• 25:04
  And really easy to put together just went, you know, you put all
• 25:08
  the bits on them, you know, you know how mythics work.
• 25:11
  You've you know, if you've collected them for a while.
• 25:13
  The only fiddly bit maybe was this the bird, because the
• 25:17
  leather thing doesn't perfectly that once you click the hand in.
• 25:23
  Yeah, no bother, you know. So, yeah, and I.
• 25:26
  Love that bird as well, the way they the translucent orange of
• 25:31
  the bit like sort of yeah, phoenixy kind of thing.
• 25:35
  Yeah, although it's not Phoenix, but yeah, I mean, so vibrant.
• 25:38
  The tail is. Look, tail is.
• 25:42
  I can hold them by the tail. Look at that.
• 25:44
  Nice, nice. Yeah, again, again, awesome
• 25:48
  colours. Again, like you say, is so so so
• 25:50
  nice. Yeah, it's one of these that to
• 25:55
  the naked eye is better than any photo, even drivers.
• 25:59
  Amazing. Yeah.
• 26:00
  Yeah, you can't. Capture that vibrant colour
• 26:04
  quite as well Can you in the? Pictures And there's all the
• 26:07
  awesome stuff you get with him, a bunch of hands.
• 26:12
  You get the bird and the flame effect for the staff.
• 26:17
  Two staff toppers, the hippie 1. You get the bag because he's a
• 26:22
  druid. We're going to see in the bio
• 26:24
  now in the second mile and and pauldrons, which I haven't used.
• 26:31
  Maybe I'll stick them on. You see, doesn't.
• 26:33
  Feel like he necessarily needs those.
• 26:35
  A druid does it. See, they have them on there,
• 26:37
  but with the straps. Yeah, the chests.
• 26:39
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get the straps as well.
• 26:42
  Yeah, they're not pictured there, but there is some strap.
• 26:45
  Why would Baggy? Why would you want to hide that
• 26:47
  glorious chest, which I can say for snake figures, humans hide
• 26:51
  it. Snake figures.
• 26:52
  It's like, you know. Barbarians, no.
• 26:56
  No snake men. Sun's out, guns out.
• 26:59
  Go for it. Is is a druid not basically a
• 27:02
  barbarian wizard? Well, don't call a druid
• 27:10
  basically a wizard or you'll have Jesse Arnold after.
• 27:12
  You true. True.
• 27:14
  I'm I'm from Anglesey to the home of the Druids, so I speak
• 27:16
  with authority. I don't know what we're talking
• 27:20
  about, but I speak with a yeah. Right, so you have Trevor's
• 27:25
  great picture, their mouth. So maybe we can read the bio of
• 27:30
  him then? The Coatl druid Venalis Arden
• 27:33
  Scale emerges from the deep Wilds of the realm at a time of
• 27:37
  great transition for Mythos. A powerful conjurer with the
• 27:41
  ability to materialise beasts of pure magical energy, Venalis has
• 27:46
  quietly watched the happenings of the realm for an age, and he
• 27:49
  counsels the heroes of Mythos as they suddenly grapple with new
• 27:53
  threats to their peaceful existence.
• 27:56
  Although extremely powerful and wise, Finales retains his
• 27:59
  bipedal form as part of the belief that he still has much to
• 28:03
  learn, an important role to play before he can evolve beyond his
• 28:08
  current state of being. There you go.
• 28:13
  So we find out as well why he doesn't have the snake tail, and
• 28:17
  it's not because they haven't told it yet.
• 28:25
  If they got if they, I mean, they are crafty people,
• 28:28
  horsemen. I reckon that, you know, let's
• 28:29
  sell the snake sailing green by itself, like $20.
• 28:33
  People would be snapping up. Yeah, well, I mean, it's funny,
• 28:36
  isn't it? Because I suppose they don't
• 28:38
  feel they need to, but they could easily do character packs
• 28:41
  for Mythics and they'd sell a shed load on Mason.
• 28:44
  Yeah. Yeah, true.
• 28:47
  And he doesn't have a faction either, you know.
• 28:52
  It was unknown, and the faction symbol on the side of the box is
• 28:56
  the same as the one with the Valiant Knight.
• 29:01
  Sort of universal. Or maybe all all four good
• 29:07
  factions. So that's that.
• 29:14
  Rich, before we go on, I forgot this.
• 29:17
  You had people contacting you this week about barbarian
• 29:21
  expertise. Tell us about.
• 29:26
  That yes, I did. It was at the weekend and my, I
• 29:31
  think my phone might have run out of juice or something.
• 29:33
  So I didn't have it on for ages and I turned it on and all of a
• 29:35
  sudden these messages like popped it up.
• 29:36
  OK, I, you don't know me. I want to start a barbarian
• 29:41
  subgroup from the cabal and I've heard you're an expert.
• 29:44
  Would you help me set up the group?
• 29:45
  And I just like, what the hell. So I messaged the chat room with
• 29:50
  these two douche bags and, and Grion and Mark and was like, OK,
• 29:54
  which one of you did this? And John, John was just like, it
• 29:57
  was me. And then to the post in the bar
• 30:01
  where somebody had said, oh, is there a barbarian group?
• 30:04
  And then John had commented with, no, but Rich Jones is an
• 30:07
  expert on Barbarians, so I'm sure we'd be happy to help.
• 30:11
  So let's go back to this bloke going, I'm really sorry that
• 30:13
  someone's, you know, pulling your leg here a bit.
• 30:16
  And the guy, the guy was really good.
• 30:17
  He's like, Oh my God, that's amazing.
• 30:19
  That's so funny. He's like, please don't hate me.
• 30:20
  He's like, no, no, I don't hate you, don't worry.
• 30:23
  And then, yeah. And then a couple of hours
• 30:26
  later, I get another message from the person that posted the
• 30:27
  one that John commented on, asking me the same thing.
• 30:30
  And it's like, no, again, sorry, no, I really don't want.
• 30:34
  To be nothing. And there.
• 30:38
  Was about 15 laugh emojis on on my comment from people that.
• 30:42
  I'm not going to look to it. That makes sense though, yeah.
• 30:44
  That listen to the show or or know you yeah.
• 30:49
  I got a lovely gift from John too, with just a person rolling
• 30:51
  about laughing on the floor like hysterically non-stop.
• 30:54
  It's like, yeah, yeah, OK, thank you.
• 30:56
  You could. You could sense the Glee and
• 30:58
  John's response. It does look like an earnest,
• 31:05
  genuine response. It's like, you know, I can't
• 31:08
  help you mate, but here's Rich. Yeah.
• 31:13
  Yeah, it was hilarious. I'm not.
• 31:15
  I'm glad but people found like that.
• 31:17
  The guy found it funny. Yeah, the first guy was just
• 31:19
  like, Oh my God, that's amazing. Yeah, and the second guy was he?
• 31:23
  He didn't. He just responded with gotcha so
• 31:26
  I'm not sure how impressed he was.
• 31:27
  OK, right, OK. I hope we didn't think we're
• 31:31
  they were taking, we were taking that side of.
• 31:33
  Damage. It was.
• 31:34
  It was absolutely taking the piss out of Rich, right?
• 31:39
  And now Rich is going to take the piss out of us with these
• 31:41
  vampires. I am and the cat just got off my
• 31:44
  knee so I can actually hold the paper here, which is good.
• 31:45
  Oh and watching Scream would have seen a tail waving around
• 31:49
  like mad for like 30 seconds earlier on.
• 31:52
  And it's like Jesus. Really now?
• 31:54
  OK, here we go. So if you if you do follow Rich
• 31:57
  closely on social media, you will have seen some of these
• 32:00
  already possibly and BIOS as well.
• 32:03
  Rich. Yes, I posted them all but one
• 32:05
  of these previously at various points.
• 32:08
  But yeah, so yeah, we did a similar thing that we with the
• 32:10
  Red Hellions one that I did, Yeah.
• 32:13
  And I've said numerous times on the show that the vampires and
• 32:15
  the brood in my favourite faction, so they're the ones I
• 32:19
  got most customs for. So yeah, we just thought I
• 32:21
  could, you know, show them again and read the BIOS and, you know,
• 32:26
  people get any inspiration, want to do some other than great.
• 32:29
  Talk about them and you being you rich with your spreadsheets.
• 32:32
  You probably even know where the a lot of the custom pieces are
• 32:36
  from, or you know. Oh yeah.
• 32:38
  Oh yeah, all written down so. You're going to get your
• 32:41
  credits, all you amazing customizers that have here.
• 32:46
  Right then. So the first one, Lord Edius, is
• 32:50
  a vampire who definitely stands out from the crowd.
• 32:53
  He thinks himself as better than everybody else and makes no
• 32:55
  bones about it, showing it through ostentatious armour and
• 32:59
  robes. In his former life he was one of
• 33:01
  two patrons of the Great Elf Library along with his brother
• 33:05
  Lord Udivas. These two great Elf Lords were
• 33:09
  proud of the fact their domain contained all the great
• 33:11
  knowledge of the Elf kingdoms. They were also not afraid to
• 33:14
  show off to others that they were the keepers of knowledge
• 33:16
  and so supremely wealthy. They had custom made pauldrons
• 33:20
  which they split between the two of them.
• 33:22
  These were some. These are what some would call
• 33:25
  garish pauldrons. They were commissioned by the
• 33:28
  brothers to show scrolls and wields them held within the jaws
• 33:31
  of fierce creatures. You can sort of see it here.
• 33:33
  There was a second picture with the better one, I didn't include
• 33:36
  it which should have done. Now reading the bio.
• 33:39
  Then in a vampire raid one night, Lord Edius fell victim to
• 33:42
  a vampire's bite. The once proud elf Lord is now a
• 33:45
  vile perversion of all he used to be.
• 33:47
  He has however kept his desire to be seen as better than his
• 33:50
  peers and shunned the usual vampire armour.
• 33:53
  In fact, he has also kept the pauldron from his previous life
• 33:56
  as a vampire persona. No, I've lost where am I kept
• 34:02
  his pauldron from a previous life as a vampire.
• 34:06
  He wants to find his brother Lord Udo's bus and complete the
• 34:10
  pauldron set so we can stand in all his finery before the owls
• 34:13
  he will slaughter now that Lithia has returned.
• 34:16
  So that's a terrible reading of the body.
• 34:17
  I'll teach me to use names like Udvs I.
• 34:22
  Blame the writing do. You know what I mean?
• 34:24
  It's terrible. I blame the glass of wine.
• 34:27
  It's affecting my ability to read apparently.
• 34:30
  Well I love that he is recognisably an elf, but a
• 34:36
  vampire as well at the same time.
• 34:38
  That's really, yeah. He's got hair, which a lot of
• 34:40
  vampires don't have, which is part of the reason I like this,
• 34:42
  this sculpt so much. It's just, you know, I wouldn't
• 34:44
  want all my vampires to have hair, but a couple of them, I
• 34:46
  think it's really good. Yeah, sort of.
• 34:51
  What I like about you, the way you do your vampires, I think it
• 34:53
  sort of gives off stages of vampirism as well, doesn't it?
• 34:58
  And you know, different ways people have been turned and
• 35:02
  whatever else. I think it is very.
• 35:04
  And that's still Canon in my mythos, despite the Horseman
• 35:08
  saying in the new book that you can't turn people into vampires.
• 35:11
  Yes you can, Jeremy. It's handing in my mythos.
• 35:16
  Rich Mythos. Exactly.
• 35:18
  Yeah. So, yeah.
• 35:21
  So in terms of credit for people, the head was sculpted by
• 35:25
  Tristan and Carlo Immortal Collections and painted by Derek
• 35:29
  Stringer. Derek's name will get mentioned
• 35:31
  a few times in this because he does brilliant vampire paint
• 35:33
  jobs. A vampire.
• 35:34
  Plants through that. Yeah.
• 35:37
  Pauldron was sculpted by Action Figure Fusion, printed by Noble
• 35:40
  Bear Customs and painted by Dan Drews.
• 35:43
  So this was ages ago Dan. I don't think he's in the
• 35:45
  community anymore, but good painter did a few pieces for me.
• 35:50
  The cloaks made by Brick called Bear Black.
• 35:53
  There's some very good soft goods.
• 35:55
  So I wanted a super fancy robe originally for a different
• 35:57
  character. It was on my red Hellions, but
• 35:59
  then I decided that actually because it was purple, it worked
• 36:01
  better with the vampire. So I swapped it over.
• 36:04
  And then the base body is just a gun metal armoury knight again.
• 36:08
  You know, trying to mix it up a little bit from all the vampires
• 36:11
  wearing, you know, being phalanx builders or Baron volley goes or
• 36:16
  whatever sort of thing. Just mix it up a little bit.
• 36:19
  That's cool. And actually the the lighter
• 36:21
  silver on the kind of arm piece works because of the bio and the
• 36:24
  story and what? Yeah, I think that.
• 36:28
  The armour is the pauldron is so different to the armour, you
• 36:32
  know, right Next one or OK, yeah.
• 36:38
  Umm. He's crazy looking.
• 36:42
  He's brilliant, isn't it? I love there's.
• 36:44
  I think there's a couple of different heads.
• 36:45
  I mean a couple I'm going to show, but a couple of different
• 36:47
  heads where predator or like like the vampires in Blade 2
• 36:51
  sort of thing. And I really like that look.
• 36:53
  It's just. Yeah, Decimus is.
• 36:57
  One of the most feared vampires in the Brood and the self styled
• 37:00
  Vampire Champion. He is undoubtedly one of the
• 37:03
  most skilled fighters within the ranks of vampires, a master with
• 37:06
  many types of weapons. However, whether he is the best
• 37:09
  fighter or indeed the champion would draw debate among other
• 37:12
  vampires. His skills with the sword in
• 37:14
  particular mean that he often cuts down enemy champions,
• 37:17
  allowing his vampire brethren to feed on them and turn them
• 37:20
  towards the Lithias side. He longs for the battle soon to
• 37:23
  come in the Second Great War, as he feels he needs to test
• 37:27
  himself against more champions from the side of Light and once
• 37:30
  again prove that the power and hunger that drives the vampires
• 37:34
  is the most powerful thing in mythos.
• 37:38
  So this was the head I picked up.
• 37:40
  From Dirk's designs, so now owner of walking customs as well
• 37:45
  at Legions Con a couple of years ago.
• 37:48
  I hadn't seen the scope before. The scope was actually by Black
• 37:49
  Forge Studios, who now post most of his stuff under Black beard
• 37:53
  tach. It's the same guy and it's just
• 37:56
  such a cool sculpt. There's like, right, I've got to
• 37:58
  get that. And then it was like, what do I
• 38:01
  do? Then it's like I want to do on a
• 38:02
  thinner vampire build because of the head sort of thing.
• 38:07
  And then that build came. Together.
• 38:08
  So it's a vampire? Night based body and then it's a
• 38:10
  Marvel Legends Magneto cloak. I was wondering where that was
• 38:14
  from. Yeah.
• 38:15
  So it's it's obviously. Hard.
• 38:17
  Plastic rather than the softwood sort of thing.
• 38:19
  I think it works really well with.
• 38:21
  Yeah, Works, yeah. I'm just fascinated with these
• 38:25
  vampires debating, you know, from the bio.
• 38:30
  Well, who's the best? Yeah, yeah.
• 38:33
  I'm just trying to imagine it. In in my head it descends into.
• 38:37
  Violence very quickly. Debate, debate, debate.
• 38:41
  Snap someone. 'S head off, right?
• 38:42
  It's go. Here we go.
• 38:45
  Yeah, I can't imagine it's. Considered discussion, it's
• 38:48
  probably very, I don't know, biting.
• 38:52
  Is there is the right and wrong? Word, you know, but I think I
• 38:56
  based. The bio on the fact that he's.
• 38:57
  He's like screaming and that face is like screaming.
• 38:59
  Anger is just like I'm angry. Come and fight me.
• 39:03
  Therefore, you know, he's the champion and lusts for, you
• 39:06
  know, battle and that sort of thing.
• 39:07
  I think it's I'm angry. Run away.
• 39:09
  It would be my Oh God, yes, I would be.
• 39:12
  I'll be. Over the hill and gone.
• 39:14
  Yeah, right. Oh, look at this guy.
• 39:19
  He's brilliant. So this guy.
• 39:22
  The. Build when we talk, when it was
• 39:25
  an Armoury Knight build from Legions Con 2 years ago and when
• 39:29
  we talked in the show in the run up to Legions Con I said I was
• 39:32
  going to do this build. Not with that head.
• 39:34
  That head was a later edition but you know the actual armour
• 39:37
  and the build that comes with it.
• 39:39
  So it's the black armour? It's it's the black leather
• 39:42
  parts with it is on the gun metal.
• 39:45
  Yeah, yeah, I want, I want the idea of vampire.
• 39:49
  That's, you know, he's so tough that he doesn't doesn't feel
• 39:54
  that he needs all the full armour sort of thing.
• 39:55
  But leather stuff is, is plenty. And then he's got his little
• 39:59
  helmet so we can't see what he is, which I might just spoil the
• 40:03
  buyer. There we go.
• 40:05
  But this was one of. The bills that I think.
• 40:07
  Was is hard to get now because it disappeared pretty quickly
• 40:13
  and it wasn't part. Of the standard.
• 40:14
  Release. So yeah, yeah.
• 40:18
  OK then. So as I just said, we talked
• 40:21
  about it beforehand, so I did cover that off.
• 40:23
  Already wearing black to signal his true allegiance, the vampire
• 40:28
  was covered and safe from the effects of the sun, while at the
• 40:32
  same time, by wearing lighter leather armour in the brutal
• 40:34
  fighting pits that were part of the jousting tournaments, he
• 40:37
  hoped to intimidate his opponents who would not
• 40:39
  understand why a fighter war such comparably flimsy armour.
• 40:45
  I've said by original. It's a very short buyer.
• 40:47
  My original intention was to to leave him just with their
• 40:49
  helmeted head. So a vampire in disguise almost.
• 40:53
  And then I saw this brilliantly painted head by by Derek
• 40:56
  Stringer again. Told you we talked about Derek
• 40:58
  lots. I don't know who sculpted it.
• 41:00
  If anyone does know, please let me know.
• 41:01
  I can give them the credit. But it just works really well.
• 41:04
  Again, it's like a proper aggro vampire head sculpt sort of
• 41:09
  thing. Yeah, that's very cool head.
• 41:12
  Did we get a name for him? We did not.
• 41:15
  Actually, I didn't. Name him I.
• 41:16
  I feel bad. OK, No, that's good.
• 41:18
  I just. Thought I'd missed.
• 41:19
  It no, no on my on my sheet here he's just.
• 41:22
  Called Vampire Brute. OK, vampire brute that.
• 41:26
  Sounds good. So more of a generic type
• 41:28
  character maybe? Yes, except he's not.
• 41:31
  But yeah, yeah, yeah. Hello.
• 41:35
  Samurai. Yeah, this.
• 41:38
  I like this. One apologies about the picture,
• 41:40
  I took this quite late tonight just as it was turning dark and
• 41:43
  then don't have the skills was the glass knowledge in?
• 41:45
  Between the lens and the figure, I think it might have been.
• 41:49
  Yeah, it was it. Was one of those sort of
• 41:50
  programmes and I don't have the technical ability to clean it up
• 41:53
  much more than I did here, so apologies about the picture and
• 41:56
  I'm also too lazy to take another one.
• 41:57
  It's like once it's done, that's it.
• 41:59
  Neither does anyone else. They all just use.
• 42:01
  AI these days, rich, you know that I can't do that.
• 42:05
  Right then, sometimes the evil armies within Mythos have a
• 42:08
  falling out and turn on each other.
• 42:11
  One search of these incidents led to the creation of a very
• 42:13
  unusual vampire, a vampire ghoul.
• 42:16
  The vampire hordes had swept down onto a small band of ghouls
• 42:19
  and skeletons, being transferred from the east of Mythos to the
• 42:22
  lands of the Congregation in the South.
• 42:25
  One of the undead. Ghouls put up such an.
• 42:27
  Unusually strong fight and showed such great great martial
• 42:30
  prowess that a young vampire decided to turn him.
• 42:34
  Only a young vampire would be foolish enough to even try and
• 42:37
  turn an undead creature as it never worked.
• 42:40
  However, something within this? School.
• 42:42
  May be the same stuff that made him fight so well and skilfully
• 42:45
  enabled the transformation to hold.
• 42:47
  The result is now. That was what was once a proud
• 42:50
  warrior of the East who fell only to rise again to have one
• 42:54
  final life as a creature of the night.
• 42:59
  So it's not. Gone well for him, he started
• 43:02
  off as a proud warrior, then was an undead fiend, and that was
• 43:04
  another type of undead fiend. So.
• 43:08
  Yeah, a really cool sculptor, this one.
• 43:10
  This was 1. Of the ones that was available
• 43:13
  on Wolf, well, it's Wolf King now.
• 43:14
  I think it was Legion shop originally.
• 43:16
  Again, Tristan and Carlo and Mortal Collections sculpted it.
• 43:20
  There's an open mouth diversion as well, but I think the closed
• 43:22
  mouth is just a bit more sinister and creepy looking.
• 43:26
  Again, it was designed as a gold, but you know, painted by
• 43:29
  guess who, Derek Stringer in the vampire colours.
• 43:34
  So here we go. And then the base body, it's
• 43:38
  actually Jeremy Gerard vampire samurai base body.
• 43:42
  I've I bought one from Jeremy in the early years of my collecting
• 43:48
  and that's still on display as a vampire.
• 43:52
  Vampire samurai. Sort of I've.
• 43:53
  Got a separate shelf of samurais, but then he made
• 43:57
  another one and sold it to another British collector who
• 44:00
  sold it a little while ago. Virtually next to nothing.
• 44:03
  I thought she just. Wanted to get rid of it.
• 44:05
  So I was like, I will say that. And then I thought this body
• 44:08
  worked really well with it. So yeah.
• 44:13
  Right, recognise this one I was going to.
• 44:17
  Say yeah, it's not Derek Stringer.
• 44:18
  The painted this one guys. It's John.
• 44:20
  It's John. So.
• 44:28
  Womburn the Deranged is a truly unhinged vampire.
• 44:31
  A former royal Guardsman in King Bromden's retinue, Womburn was
• 44:35
  known as a ferocious fighter who never took a step back from a
• 44:38
  challenge or threat. He was turned as a result of
• 44:41
  defending his king from a surprise frost ogre attack.
• 44:44
  Bromden's adviser has cautioned against cutting across the the
• 44:47
  edge of the white spine, but the arrogant king has declared it
• 44:51
  safe due to the long sunlight hours.
• 44:54
  He wanted to get home as quickly as possible with the precious
• 44:56
  gems he had traded with his cousin Scally.
• 44:59
  He was proven wrong and Flombern Bell leading the last stand of
• 45:03
  the Royal Guards as Bromdon fled, taken by the frost.
• 45:06
  Ogres to the bloodless. Throne.
• 45:08
  He was turned, as sometimes happens with dwarfs who returned
• 45:12
  to vampires. The class of ferocious wills of
• 45:14
  the dwarf hosts and the vampire essence sent Flombern mad.
• 45:18
  He spent his time alone in various caves, seething at the
• 45:21
  world. Then one day he found a cave
• 45:24
  with a badly wounded ogre werewolf inside rather than kill
• 45:28
  the beast. As it had, clearly.
• 45:29
  Deserted, its vampire Lord Wambern found a strange pull
• 45:33
  towards the beast and nurtured it back to health forever in
• 45:37
  Flomberg's. Debt the.
• 45:38
  Werewolf vowed to fight by his side and protect him from all
• 45:41
  enemies, including other vampires.
• 45:44
  The two an hour fearsome sights on the on and off the
• 45:46
  battlefield. A frenzy of claw, teeth and
• 45:49
  metal. They are the doom of all who
• 45:51
  face them. As cool as.
• 45:55
  The story is and as. Cool as I think the figure is,
• 45:57
  it does, and I'm glad you mentioned it, but the guy.
• 46:01
  I have issues with the fact that the constitution of a dwarf
• 46:04
  would not allow them to be turned into a vampire.
• 46:07
  I'm glad you mentioned the battle.
• 46:11
  It's a struggle. It's a struggle, Mal.
• 46:12
  Yeah, always fighting for the. Dwarfs.
• 46:20
  Hell yeah. But yeah, so the head.
• 46:22
  Was sculpted and printed. By our good friend Mark Calvin
• 46:25
  and if you're a patron with the show, you get 10% off Mark's
• 46:28
  shop so it's worth signing up and we come in a patron Calvo
• 46:32
  just for that yeah, link in the. Link in the description and as I
• 46:37
  said. Yeah, and Mark does some amazing
• 46:40
  painting and yeah, really, I'm painted by our very own job, Mr.
• 46:45
  John Caulfield as well. And the werewolf is a NECA
• 46:48
  American wealth in London that got very cheap off Aliexpress.
• 46:53
  But it's just such a good mount. And this is basically a Varg.
• 46:58
  Build, isn't it? It is, yes.
• 46:59
  Yeah, Yeah, it's. Just it's just a barg with with
• 47:02
  a different head. It's a very, very
• 47:04
  straightforward, I'd call it a custom people.
• 47:07
  Some people might call it a pop. And so that's a customer and you
• 47:11
  have the bio and everything. And yeah, I mean, you wanted a
• 47:14
  ginger vampire. I thought that was a great idea.
• 47:19
  I'd like to take credit for that idea somebody else.
• 47:20
  Did it first and I stole the idea, so thank you, whoever that
• 47:23
  was. But yeah, brought it to life
• 47:24
  really. Well, John, it's got that dwarf.
• 47:27
  Bit to him, but at the same. Time like crazy.
• 47:32
  OK so there isn't just one set of blood armour, there are many.
• 47:37
  Azar and Zazar made numerous ones, each attracted to a
• 47:40
  different species. The other main difference was
• 47:42
  these suits did not have helmets.
• 47:45
  The demons wanted the creatures. Being.
• 47:46
  Consumed to be visible to all I wanted.
• 47:50
  I wanted to show the transformation of the wearer.
• 47:52
  And so I got some heads in translucent red from plantry dog
• 47:55
  toys and again, John painted some up for me.
• 47:59
  There is a Auquan as well, which is not here, but that's set up
• 48:06
  and there's another one which I'm not going to talk about
• 48:07
  because it's so cool what I want to put on the build and share it
• 48:10
  off eventually as well. John knows.
• 48:12
  What it is? I do.
• 48:16
  Yeah, so the. Third suit of blood.
• 48:18
  Armour made by the Demon Twins was for humans.
• 48:21
  This race was a scourge of mythos as far as the twins are
• 48:23
  concerned, and they wanted to spread fear among them all.
• 48:26
  The first wearer was a blacksmith, drawn in by the
• 48:29
  eerie, almost glowing metal. When it attached itself to him.
• 48:33
  He was soon overpowered and left his village Smith to wander
• 48:36
  through Leander. Word of this strangely silent
• 48:39
  man, wandering the countryside in vivid red armour soon spread
• 48:43
  far and wide. He was brought to one of the
• 48:45
  great cities and put in the stocks.
• 48:47
  When he did not reply to questioning Chris, questioners
• 48:51
  could. Not have realised.
• 48:52
  His power of speech had been taken by the armour.
• 48:55
  Then he began to exhibit agitated behaviour and finally
• 48:59
  made noises. Guttural low level screams.
• 49:03
  One day the sound of the scream suddenly stopped, but his face
• 49:07
  was still grimaced into a tortured picture.
• 49:09
  People in the square began to notice a red glow emanating from
• 49:12
  under the armour, slowly followed by his neck turning and
• 49:15
  almost translucent red. The infection, as they deemed
• 49:19
  it, spread day by day further up his neck and then into his head.
• 49:23
  It won't be long now before his whole head is translucent and no
• 49:26
  one knows what will happen then. The armour knows though it will
• 49:30
  seek a new host. I'll say yeah.
• 49:33
  Jaunt. It's grim.
• 49:35
  It's a darker 1. You did a wonderful paint job on
• 49:37
  this John. Yes.
• 49:38
  It was a bad translucent red 1 and I just wanted just some bits
• 49:41
  of flesh and the teeth sort of thing left that, yeah, just that
• 49:45
  last best jewel of humanity still there, just as the armour
• 49:48
  consumes it completely. Yeah, I'm worried that my.
• 49:53
  Paint's going to get scraped off the further this bio goes, you
• 49:56
  know. Well, if I'm.
• 49:58
  Going to take it all the way. Then yes, but I wouldn't do that
• 50:00
  as you John, you could just pop another.
• 50:03
  Exactly. Yeah, Well, yeah, because
• 50:05
  punchy. Dog soils are open until the end
• 50:07
  of July that I could I could get a fully translucent one of
• 50:10
  these. Yeah, there you go.
• 50:12
  Yeah, I like that head and it's. Off.
• 50:14
  It's a lot of fun to paint. Yeah, I've got.
• 50:17
  I've got 1. Paint painted I purchased as a
• 50:19
  normal sort of screen mummy as well.
• 50:21
  It's a. It's a very fun head.
• 50:25
  OK, right. So.
• 50:28
  What is worse than facing a vampire with massive teeth in
• 50:31
  combat? I'll tell you what, facing a
• 50:34
  vampire with dozens of super sharp teeth would be right up
• 50:37
  there. This is what anyone unlucky
• 50:39
  enough to come across, a vampire crocodilian face with extremely
• 50:42
  tough skin. Crocodilians generally are hard
• 50:45
  to injure, but combine that with a vampire's quick healing and
• 50:48
  few survive their encounters with these fearsome creatures.
• 50:52
  The elves of Zylonia have set special bounties on the heads of
• 50:55
  these foul creatures and use their best hunters to try and
• 50:57
  track them down. Many brave elves have fallen
• 51:00
  trying to claim the large bounties these creatures hold.
• 51:04
  So I see the. Elves are like Oh my God, we
• 51:06
  can't have these. Things wander around.
• 51:08
  We need to take them out. Yeah, terrifying.
• 51:13
  Yeah, again, we're. On a bit of a run here, this was
• 51:15
  also. Painted by John the torso and
• 51:18
  the head and again planetary dog toy sculpted pieces I just used
• 51:22
  on a vampire phalanx. I just wanted something really
• 51:25
  plain body wise to really make the head and the the torso stand
• 51:29
  out sort of thing as a good idea.
• 51:32
  Yeah, but no, I love it, Yeah. I've got half a dozen
• 51:36
  crocodilians, I think now in my collection in, in various
• 51:39
  factions. Yeah, You know me in various
• 51:41
  factions. So yeah.
• 51:45
  So I had to get vampire one, obviously.
• 51:47
  Yeah, you have to have a. Representation of the members?
• 51:50
  We do, yeah. Let's go.
• 51:53
  So this isn't my. Build.
• 51:54
  I will say that's. Great though from the start it
• 51:56
  was I think Jeremy Gerard's design sort of thing.
• 51:59
  But I loved it. I like picked it up off Things
• 52:03
  Legion shop and we still go so the Sentinel.
• 52:06
  Guard are the elite. Personal guards of Lucretia and
• 52:08
  the rest of the royal bloodline. Only the most lethal vampires
• 52:12
  are recruited into the guard. As vampires live so long, most
• 52:15
  of the members are still the original from centuries ago.
• 52:18
  Armed with ancient swords and Shields, these guards protect
• 52:21
  their leaders with their lives. A vampire being willing to.
• 52:24
  Give up its eternal. Life for another is incredibly
• 52:26
  unusual, and the few that have actually done this are revered
• 52:29
  throughout the brood. Of course, not everyone.
• 52:32
  Likes the Sentinel. Guards both Lords Drizzell,
• 52:35
  we'll meet him later, and Lord Dragul, leaders of the two sub
• 52:39
  broods who crave the ultimate leadership themselves, know that
• 52:43
  they must find a way to kill the Sentinels if they are to have
• 52:45
  any hope of defeating Lucretia and Volga.
• 52:48
  So far both have lost many good warriors trying but are
• 52:51
  unperturbed as they know their armies are growing and with the
• 52:54
  looming battles with the best Legions of Light have to offer,
• 52:58
  they believe soon warriors with enough martial prowess will be
• 53:01
  turned to complete the task. So the thing I loved about this?
• 53:07
  Is the head itself so sculpted by Tristan from Immortal
• 53:12
  Collections? Because collections, isn't it?
• 53:16
  And that was that for a second there.
• 53:17
  Yeah, I'm painted by Melissa Somerville, who was in the
• 53:20
  community for a little bit, but then moved on from the stuff.
• 53:23
  She was doing some stuff with Steph Bellator at one point as
• 53:26
  well, but it's got that sort of bone mask to the vampire helmet.
• 53:31
  So you can't see the vampire's face, which I really.
• 53:33
  Like and this is like it's dog brooding helmet but with a bone
• 53:37
  exterior too. And then it comes with a really
• 53:39
  cool shield with the vampire bats on it.
• 53:41
  And then the curved blade. You 2 know me in a curved blade.
• 53:44
  I do struggle to resist those. And even the soft goods.
• 53:49
  Pretty sweet. Yeah, they're, they're struck
• 53:51
  family. Crafts, soft goods again.
• 53:53
  They used to be for sale on Malaysian shop, right?
• 53:58
  Yeah. You can't see it.
• 54:00
  From here, but the back of it's got the Baron Bolliger symbol in
• 54:04
  purple right on the back of the the cloak as well.
• 54:07
  So if you wanted to throw it around a bit more sort of thing.
• 54:10
  No, happens that there may be with a, you know, a spear in one
• 54:14
  hand and the cloak around or something like you can see all
• 54:16
  that very cool figure. Right then this might be the
• 54:23
  first. Ever custom vampire head I
• 54:25
  bought. I bought the head.
• 54:27
  It was not with his body. This body was a a different
• 54:29
  purchase later on down the line. Draven is the great vampire
• 54:33
  executioner. He's one of Baron Voliger's most
• 54:36
  loyal followers and has executed friend and foe alike on the
• 54:39
  Baron's orders for centuries, clad in ancient armour.
• 54:42
  From an era few. Remember, he is an imposing
• 54:45
  sight, feared throughout the brood when his services are
• 54:48
  called for the dim chant of death, death, death.
• 54:53
  Starts rising as he leaves his fortress and.
• 54:55
  Strides through the halls of the bloodless throne, these chants
• 54:58
  grow louder and louder until the whole place shakes and all are
• 55:02
  fearful for their lives finally. Draven will stop and.
• 55:06
  Raise a finger towards 1 vampire.
• 55:09
  If the if the vampire has any sense, they will accept their
• 55:13
  fate. At this point, those that don't
• 55:15
  are cut down with cold, cynical clinical ease.
• 55:19
  By. The great Executioner, the now
• 55:22
  subdued victim, is forced to suffer torture as a punishment
• 55:25
  for challenging Draven before their existence is finally
• 55:28
  ended. So yes, it's it's.
• 55:32
  It's not that. Sort of thing, yeah.
• 55:41
  Stone Cold Steve Vampire I'm. Not sure it'd be quite.
• 55:45
  As ready if you did. That it'd be funny.
• 55:46
  But I'm wishing quite as ready. Yeah, so the head is.
• 55:50
  Sculpted by Sebadon when he was doing stuff and might actually
• 55:52
  make a custom. So it's one of the one of the
• 55:55
  oldest, I think, custom designs in the in the community and it's
• 55:59
  painted by our my was going to kill me friend.
• 56:02
  Hobby Lobby. Dipped his toe.
• 56:06
  Into knit allegiance for a little bit and then vanished
• 56:08
  again. All the other custom parts.
• 56:11
  So the pauldrons, torso, shins, feet, sword and helmet, they're
• 56:17
  all planetary dog toys designed. I think they call it the
• 56:19
  Damascus prints on the website. Yeah, I bought it.
• 56:25
  As a full custom without. The the actual vampire head, but
• 56:28
  I can't remember the person's name.
• 56:29
  I'm so. Sorry on the off Angel listening
• 56:31
  to this, let me know and I'll give you full credit, but the
• 56:34
  combination of that head without arm and I think it just works
• 56:37
  perfectly. It's such an angry head, it's
• 56:40
  like. You're just screaming and the
• 56:42
  the cheeks are separating and yeah, he's got 2 very.
• 56:47
  Cool heads there with the Damascus head and the one you've
• 56:49
  got him in there, it's perfect. He, I imagine he runs.
• 56:55
  At like 1 1/2 speed. Do you know what I mean?
• 56:59
  Yeah. That, or the armour's so heavy
• 57:02
  that he. Can't run.
• 57:05
  But he's so intimidating. He's still.
• 57:07
  Catching yeah, he just like chases you down forever, but.
• 57:11
  It's like, you know you're doing this.
• 57:13
  Yeah. Well, from heavy to accuse,
• 57:18
  yeah. Pretty far down the vampire.
• 57:22
  Ladder are the goblin vampires. Most vampires shy away from
• 57:25
  turning goblins due to their perceived weakness and quite
• 57:28
  frankly disgusting nature. For those goblins that are
• 57:32
  turned, they strive to constantly prove their worth to
• 57:34
  the brood and often die pointless deaths while trying to
• 57:37
  impress the other vampires. 1 vampire goblin who has so far
• 57:41
  managed to survive is Sucks. Ironically this was his name
• 57:44
  before he was turned, but it's very fitting now.
• 57:48
  He is respected by the the goblin vampires and has not did
• 57:50
  somewhat of a leadership role within the group.
• 57:54
  But when one of the group inevitably get killed trying to
• 57:56
  eat a bigger or better warrior, Sucks likes to firmly point out
• 58:00
  he is not their leader and not. I love the.
• 58:06
  Name. It's brilliant, isn't it?
• 58:08
  Yeah. I can't take credit for that.
• 58:10
  That that was the the custom name sort of thing that when the
• 58:13
  design went up. That's very cool.
• 58:15
  Yeah, yeah. So it's a SU.
• 58:17
  Double X it's just like that's such a clever, clever name.
• 58:21
  So it's a noble bear customs print.
• 58:23
  And this one was painted up by our good friend Blaze Bear
• 58:27
  picked it up I think from Blaze when I when we first met him 3
• 58:31
  legions cons ago when he was table over by us.
• 58:34
  So yeah, really cool. And then the sorry.
• 58:39
  No, no, that's what. Malafar body.
• 58:41
  Yeah, Malafar base. Goblin legion build a feat just
• 58:45
  swapped on and then I got swigs purple sort of waist piece.
• 58:52
  Soft goods. Waist waist piece on there just
• 58:54
  to give a bit of a bit of colour.
• 58:56
  I was going to say so it. Wasn't the full custom of Blaze,
• 58:59
  It was the head. Just the head.
• 59:01
  Sorry. Yes, yeah.
• 59:02
  Yeah, yeah. So finally a good use for.
• 59:05
  The SWIG soft goods. Nice.
• 59:08
  You really hate those, don't you?
• 59:10
  On swing, it's on. Swing are very good, but they're
• 59:13
  just not on SWIG. Yeah.
• 59:16
  Oh no, I. Like it on SWIG as well.
• 59:19
  Very easy. All right, let me.
• 59:22
  Crack open another glass of wine.
• 59:23
  Before we start on the next one, gents, OK, my voice is going a
• 59:26
  bit, so that's OK. Another.
• 59:30
  Only another 11 to go so. Yeah, if people aren't enjoying.
• 59:35
  This you can switch off, but if you're enjoying them, keep
• 59:37
  going. Don't switch off no.
• 59:41
  Right. Oh, look at that sky.
• 59:44
  Oh my goodness, this is another Blaze pair, isn't it?
• 59:48
  This is not. No, this is a.
• 59:50
  Mark Calvo special. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
• 59:54
  Yeah, so and it's honestly. It is incredibly well painted.
• 59:59
  This was it's amazing and I ever.
• 1:00:01
  Saw of Mark Elvis. Painting and I was just like,
• 1:00:04
  how? How is it that clean?
• 1:00:07
  Yeah, the colours. Match the armour so well.
• 1:00:10
  I've I asked somebody else who's a very good painter to match
• 1:00:12
  another vampire piece which is not on display this time to go
• 1:00:16
  with the armour, and they just missed the match completely,
• 1:00:18
  whereas Mark just nailed it. Now it turns.
• 1:00:22
  Out the Max the other person. Did would perfectly with a
• 1:00:24
  Demistros, so I've now got the parts on that instead.
• 1:00:29
  But yeah, so don't mention his name.
• 1:00:32
  That's what every vampire says themselves and others when the
• 1:00:35
  psychotic vampire Lord Vladikar passes them.
• 1:00:39
  This High Lord of the. Brood is.
• 1:00:41
  Baron Volleger's brother and uncles.
• 1:00:43
  The brood's current leader, Lucretia.
• 1:00:46
  That's where the similar. The noble.
• 1:00:47
  Similarities end though, if a vampire can be noble.
• 1:00:51
  Vladikar is the second and last child of a Lithia and the elf
• 1:00:54
  Lord she conceived Voligar with The birth of a vampire was at
• 1:00:58
  the time regarded as some sort some type of miracle, but a
• 1:01:01
  Lithia believed it was the start of a new pure race of vampires.
• 1:01:05
  She was partly. Correct as Voligo.
• 1:01:07
  Would subsequently produce children with other vampires.
• 1:01:10
  However, a Lithia's birth of children was about to come to a
• 1:01:13
  horrible end when Vladikar was born.
• 1:01:15
  He was born with horns and huge numbers of teeth.
• 1:01:19
  He tore his mother apart on the way out of the womb.
• 1:01:22
  Although able to heal herself through ingestion of blood,
• 1:01:24
  Alithia was never willing to risk giving birth again.
• 1:01:28
  Shunned by. Almost all.
• 1:01:30
  The members of the Brood, Vladikar became detached from
• 1:01:33
  everyone and was driven slowly mad by the isolation.
• 1:01:36
  He still fought alongside the Brood and was a fearsome
• 1:01:39
  warrior, but he spent as much time hunting alone as he did in
• 1:01:42
  battle. He loves nothing more than
• 1:01:44
  capturing A victim, then letting them go and recapturing them and
• 1:01:48
  so on to break their spirit. He also loves torturing them as
• 1:01:51
  well, rather than quickly devouring them.
• 1:01:56
  So don't go near this dude. He's.
• 1:01:58
  Just that should have come with a warning.
• 1:02:01
  It should have done. Apologies, you don't.
• 1:02:02
  Put one in. Beforehand, John, no an edit go
• 1:02:05
  for. It.
• 1:02:07
  When I was reading that I was like.
• 1:02:08
  Oh, this is the sort of stuff. That the two of you made me take
• 1:02:09
  out the Christmas story that time.
• 1:02:14
  You make it in there. You.
• 1:02:15
  Snuck it in there, We're talking.
• 1:02:18
  About vampires. Here, you know we can't.
• 1:02:20
  Down, yeah. So yeah, Mars Miles.
• 1:02:23
  Said just a mom. I mean, it's a mark.
• 1:02:25
  Did the sculpt as well. Then it's a marvellous sculpt
• 1:02:28
  and then fabulously painted. There's two versions.
• 1:02:31
  I think it's it's a play on gold are from Power Rangers.
• 1:02:36
  Yeah, I'll say that now. Yeah, so it's either the the
• 1:02:40
  piece name. Is some gold, something rather.
• 1:02:43
  And there's a closed mouth and an open screaming mouth
• 1:02:46
  diversion sort of thing. Yeah.
• 1:02:49
  Love it. Good.
• 1:02:52
  Right, then This one's subtle. You wouldn't notice this one on
• 1:02:55
  the shelf. Vampires like the frozen north
• 1:03:02
  of. Mythos.
• 1:03:02
  Everyone knows that, however they sail the seas around Mythos
• 1:03:06
  looking for prey. On one such voyage, A raiding
• 1:03:10
  ship arrived at an island covered in tropical palms.
• 1:03:13
  Upon venturing inland, they found a civilization of
• 1:03:15
  anthropomorphic bat people living in great pyramids within
• 1:03:18
  the jungle. The bats said they were part of
• 1:03:21
  the Great Maze Tech Confederation.
• 1:03:24
  I will explain that one day is don't worry.
• 1:03:27
  The bats were keen were of keen interest to 1 vampire in
• 1:03:31
  particular, a scientist of dubious renowned.
• 1:03:34
  He, like many others, believed vampires originally derived
• 1:03:37
  somehow from bats, and the really powerful vampires were
• 1:03:41
  still able to turn into bats. In fact, maybe these people were
• 1:03:45
  a long lost offshoot of the original 4 species, he thought.
• 1:03:48
  He tried to negotiate with the bats to take samples of their
• 1:03:51
  blood, but they refused. When he threatened them with
• 1:03:54
  destruction, they summoned reinforcements of different
• 1:03:56
  species through a glowing gate. Suddenly vastly outnumbered and
• 1:04:01
  realising the island was lost to the vampires, the scientist
• 1:04:04
  attacked one of the village priests and bit him as the poor
• 1:04:07
  creature began to. Turn into.
• 1:04:08
  A vampire, he was given the choice return with the vampires
• 1:04:12
  to their ship or be destroyed by the people he used to call
• 1:04:14
  friends. He fled with the vampires.
• 1:04:17
  This vampire bat is the only one of his kind in the brood and
• 1:04:20
  brings aerial terror to the brood raids now.
• 1:04:25
  There's some big. Clues there.
• 1:04:27
  For a different story. And another set of figures I'll
• 1:04:29
  show off at some point. A maze text with glowing lights
• 1:04:33
  and people appearing all of a sudden and that sort of stuff.
• 1:04:35
  But yeah, I love this dude. It is a Jason Rodriguez sculpt
• 1:04:40
  and painted by Derek Stringer. And yeah, I.
• 1:04:46
  Literally just. Put it on a bark with the wings.
• 1:04:50
  Originally I was going to get a torso done to go then as well.
• 1:04:53
  There are a couple of like Mesoamerican tortoise, but I'm
• 1:04:56
  not sure it needs it to be honest.
• 1:04:57
  I think it works really well with this.
• 1:05:00
  And again swigs loin piece. In there for that little purple,
• 1:05:04
  That little purple no nearest swigs have.
• 1:05:08
  Have they're. All they're all flashing their
• 1:05:09
  butts. And groyne, basically, yeah,
• 1:05:11
  because they're all the. All the soft goods are gone.
• 1:05:15
  Really good though. I love this guy.
• 1:05:18
  I love how white he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:22
  Be a. Proper terrifying.
• 1:05:23
  Threat. Yeah, with the wings and
• 1:05:24
  everything. Really good.
• 1:05:29
  OK, next one, then we can get it up.
• 1:05:32
  Here. Sorry.
• 1:05:34
  There we go. If I'm getting up, John, that's
• 1:05:35
  fine. Sorry everybody.
• 1:05:40
  Mal, you should beat me to that. I was being very.
• 1:05:44
  Sensible. It's a first for everything.
• 1:05:49
  Right then. OK.
• 1:05:51
  So as I said. When I posted there I think this
• 1:05:52
  one is possibly the weirdest member of my vampire breed.
• 1:05:56
  But I just, I I love him so much.
• 1:05:58
  If I had to get rid of him, he'd be one of the last ones to go.
• 1:06:02
  It has to be said. Oh.
• 1:06:04
  Perhaps the greatest achievement by any.
• 1:06:06
  Known vampire was when Lord Dragool managed to turn one of
• 1:06:10
  the fabled, almost mythical in fact Fay of the Northern lands
• 1:06:13
  into a vampire. This vampire stands out from all
• 1:06:16
  others and is feared by vampires, vampires and non
• 1:06:19
  vampires alike. The Snow Fay of the.
• 1:06:22
  North are believed to have. Originated in the lands of
• 1:06:24
  Leandor many centuries before, they were said to have been
• 1:06:27
  created by children when the heavy snows came to represent
• 1:06:30
  snow versions of scarecrows. So the story goes, one night a
• 1:06:34
  drunk mage stumbled across a field full of these snow people
• 1:06:38
  and decided to give them life. These beings are snow.
• 1:06:42
  Made friends with the. Children the next day and the
• 1:06:45
  parents, while bemused, saw no harm at all in the interactions.
• 1:06:49
  However, the happiness turned to.
• 1:06:50
  Sadness when? The temperatures began to rise
• 1:06:52
  and the snow people began to melt.
• 1:06:54
  Realising these creatures which his children had befriended were
• 1:06:57
  doomed, the local Lord loaded them all into several waggons
• 1:07:01
  and had his men transport them N eventually the convoy of waggons
• 1:07:04
  reached the snow covered plains of the Northlands and the snow
• 1:07:08
  people rejoiced for they were safe.
• 1:07:10
  Until this guy was bitten by a vampire.
• 1:07:15
  Really cool, I love him. Yeah, I had no intention of
• 1:07:18
  doing. Like a full on vampire snowman
• 1:07:21
  until I saw this head sculpt and was like, well, I've got in and
• 1:07:25
  obviously he's done with the carrot nose still intact as
• 1:07:27
  well. So, you know, got the vampire
• 1:07:30
  grade that's huge set of teeth. But then the the orange carrot
• 1:07:34
  nose, it's a Jason. Rodriguez.
• 1:07:37
  Head printed by Robert. Espino.
• 1:07:41
  And Robert, that always has lots of good like $5 print sales as
• 1:07:44
  well, many prints stuff really well.
• 1:07:46
  So highly recommend that. And it's painted by British
• 1:07:49
  painter Jack Mitchell. So Jack's painted a handful of
• 1:07:52
  these as well. So his name is going to be up
• 1:07:53
  there with John and Derek as vampire painter.
• 1:07:58
  And then for the base body, originally I was going to get I
• 1:08:00
  was going to go, I think just a vague originally was my plan,
• 1:08:04
  but then I thought, actually, do you know what?
• 1:08:06
  I like the. I like the the.
• 1:08:09
  Wrist wraps on the. Bag are quite a glossy black.
• 1:08:12
  So I was like, right, I like the glossy.
• 1:08:14
  Black so then I grabbed vampire phalanx skirt piece again the
• 1:08:18
  glossy black to go there to just stand out and the red belt from
• 1:08:22
  the vampire phalanx just to stand out a little bit from the
• 1:08:25
  the sort of term toned down Varg stuff.
• 1:08:28
  And then the torsos of bronze Dwarf Legion builder again just
• 1:08:34
  to. Turn down but but with the.
• 1:08:35
  Bare arms and the bare feet. I mean, Mal, you did one
• 1:08:41
  recently, didn't you, with a fat bellied snowman?
• 1:08:44
  So I don't know if I don't know. If longer term, he might end up.
• 1:08:47
  With a fat belly. But at the moment I really quite
• 1:08:49
  like. It's got like vaguely samurai
• 1:08:50
  vibes, vaguely crazy snow. I really like the combination.
• 1:08:55
  I don't. I don't often mix 3 or 4
• 1:08:58
  different base bodies into a figure, but it just all came
• 1:09:01
  together. I love the way this guy looks.
• 1:09:04
  Does he eat yellow snow? Instead of blood.
• 1:09:10
  Just as I take a drink. Thank you for that, John.
• 1:09:15
  I can. I can maybe update the.
• 1:09:17
  Bio to include that, Yes, you're welcome.
• 1:09:21
  The vampires should drink. In yellow.
• 1:09:23
  Snow. Right, next one.
• 1:09:30
  OK, there are some rare creatures.
• 1:09:33
  In the Brood, perhaps none more so than the vampire Rock Man,
• 1:09:38
  Bazaltus is a member of the feared elite.
• 1:09:40
  Troopers called it Chirop Terror.
• 1:09:43
  I should have read these in a minute beforehand.
• 1:09:46
  Chirop Terror, which is a great name for a group.
• 1:09:48
  These troops are employed as shock troops in battles, used to
• 1:09:51
  break stubborn enemy lines or take on particularly skilled
• 1:09:54
  enemy warriors. They wear the Chirop Terror
• 1:09:58
  tunic to signify their role. No one knows how many how any
• 1:10:02
  vampire managed to turn a rock man.
• 1:10:03
  Their invulnerable skin is usually impervatus, impervious
• 1:10:06
  to vampire bites. Somehow someone did it though
• 1:10:10
  all the brood members. Need to know is that the.
• 1:10:12
  Soltis is a fierce warrior, almost a force of nature on the
• 1:10:16
  battlefield. In fact, you don't argue with
• 1:10:18
  them if you want to live. Simple but effective.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah, I love this head as well. It's all build.
• 1:10:28
  Yeah, but. That head is awesome.
• 1:10:30
  It's an art of Talmud. You slowed down on the ministry
• 1:10:35
  quite a bit. You can.
• 1:10:37
  I mean, maybe it's me because they.
• 1:10:39
  Have a sculpt. I could tell his sculpt just the
• 1:10:43
  way he does this. This could be an alien.
• 1:10:46
  I really there's a vampire. When my good friend Derek
• 1:10:50
  Stringer painted up as a vampire, it's like I want that.
• 1:10:54
  I just use a vampire phalanx as the base body.
• 1:10:57
  But then the wonderful soft goods are from Joseph collars.
• 1:11:01
  This goes by the Steam Smith Instagram.
• 1:11:05
  People who watched the show before and put me on Instagram
• 1:11:08
  will have seen his tunics on the top soldiers and hint.
• 1:11:14
  As more tunics on the way. For this year's top soldiers,
• 1:11:18
  yeah. And let's just purple the two
• 1:11:20
  different types of purple which Joseph had done himself all.
• 1:11:29
  Right. Next one.
• 1:11:33
  Oh. My voice is going now, right
• 1:11:34
  then. The pictures here might not be
• 1:11:36
  great because these are some of the older ones and I had a bit
• 1:11:39
  of a play with an Instagram philtre in my early posting
• 1:11:42
  days. This is this is the first full
• 1:11:45
  custom I put together. Oh wow, yeah, the very first.
• 1:11:49
  Customer final rend cloak it isn't it the Spoiler alert John.
• 1:11:52
  BS it's on the screen. Vellius the Silence.
• 1:12:00
  Is the greatest assassin within the vampire ranks, vampires are
• 1:12:03
  either born vampires or other creatures who were turned no
• 1:12:07
  matter what Jeremy Gerard says various.
• 1:12:11
  Velius was once a forest fee. Living a peaceful and happy life
• 1:12:14
  before he was captured and turned, however.
• 1:12:19
  Velius's transformation did not go well.
• 1:12:21
  And rather than turning into a grey skin vampire, he turned
• 1:12:24
  into a greyish pink skinned creature.
• 1:12:27
  To make matters worse, he had the trait most hated among
• 1:12:29
  vampires, more than two blood syphoning teeth.
• 1:12:33
  Soon as he's got 4 on the air thing, dubbed 4 teeth by the
• 1:12:37
  vampires in his brood, he was ostracised by all, only
• 1:12:40
  surviving because vampires are forbidden from killing of the
• 1:12:42
  vampires. Valius see those treatments by
• 1:12:45
  the very creatures that had turned him.
• 1:12:47
  To avoid their taunts, he trained himself to be as
• 1:12:49
  stealthy as any creature in mythos.
• 1:12:51
  So the point is, Brood could almost never find him.
• 1:12:54
  However, not all. Vampires abused.
• 1:12:56
  Valius 1 Lord realised how useful an outcast with the
• 1:12:59
  stealth and weapons guilds of Valius could be.
• 1:13:02
  This vampire Lord recruited Velias into his ranks and made
• 1:13:05
  him his master assassin. Now Velias carries out the.
• 1:13:09
  Most. Dangerous and secretive missions
• 1:13:11
  as Lord requires, including assassinating other vampires.
• 1:13:15
  This killing of vampires feeds Velias hatred for being turned.
• 1:13:18
  He now lives for the thrill of seeing the last moments of fear
• 1:13:21
  in the eyes of the creatures who regard themselves as near
• 1:13:24
  immortal when they realise they're about to die.
• 1:13:28
  That's quite a dark. Bio for the first one.
• 1:13:29
  Wow, OK. Yeah.
• 1:13:32
  Yeah. So this was, yeah.
• 1:13:36
  This was proper, proper early days.
• 1:13:38
  So this I got ahead from shape ways.
• 1:13:42
  This is how far back it's going sort of thing.
• 1:13:44
  You know, before we had 3D printing companies and that sort
• 1:13:47
  of stuff. It was that was only place
• 1:13:48
  basically to get stuff. And it's painted by Drew Grubbs,
• 1:13:51
  who's a really talented painter but doesn't do stuff anymore,
• 1:13:54
  unfortunately. But quite a few painted things
• 1:13:57
  by Drew and he's still in the cabal.
• 1:13:58
  A really nice guy, Drew, as John said, the soft good is from a
• 1:14:02
  black series Kylo Ren, inspired obviously by Jeremy Gerard using
• 1:14:05
  that one quite a lot. And then the base bodies of
• 1:14:07
  vampire might. Excellent, right Olga?
• 1:14:17
  Yeah, so speaking, Speaking of Blade 2 vampires, this head
• 1:14:22
  sculpt I think is just a blatant RIP off of that idea, but I love
• 1:14:27
  it. So I've used it on a de Sebilus
• 1:14:31
  while de Sebilus. And his vampire ogre.
• 1:14:33
  Battalion are rightly feared by the whole of mythos.
• 1:14:36
  The people of Zylonia know there is a far more dangerous and evil
• 1:14:39
  ogre ogre sized vampire out to be feared.
• 1:14:43
  Gosselus is A1. Off.
• 1:14:45
  Here's the results of an experiment in blood magic and
• 1:14:48
  the body of a vampire ogre who'd upset Lucretia.
• 1:14:50
  He is a creature of the shadows, striking with terrifying speed.
• 1:14:54
  Ambitiousness. How a creature this?
• 1:14:57
  Big can be so stealthy. Is beyond the comprehension of
• 1:14:59
  Artemis and the warriors. What they do know is that.
• 1:15:02
  The one survivor. Of attack was driven insane with
• 1:15:04
  fear and babbles about a vampire the size of a tree whose jaws
• 1:15:09
  engulf is prey. They also know that several
• 1:15:12
  centaurs have been torn apart by this beast.
• 1:15:15
  Afarius has now been. Tasked with leading.
• 1:15:16
  A hunting party to end this monster's reign of terror.
• 1:15:20
  The soldiers of Ambirion have no idea what awaits them.
• 1:15:27
  Very cool. So where?
• 1:15:30
  Is this head from? It was bought off eBay.
• 1:15:33
  That's all I can tell you. I can give you no more details
• 1:15:38
  on that. And it was painted by Jack
• 1:15:41
  Mitchell, the British. OK, I was going to say.
• 1:15:44
  It was wasn't bought painted off eBay.
• 1:15:46
  OK. No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:15:47
  He's painted up to. Match this.
• 1:15:49
  Yeah, yeah. Jack who, If anyone?
• 1:15:51
  Follows him, I think. It's JCAJCM custom paints on
• 1:15:54
  Instagram. I think he's now doing lots of
• 1:15:56
  practical effects like like zombie makeup and that sort of
• 1:16:00
  stuff on people. I'm not sure if that's as a
• 1:16:04
  hobby or or a new job, but it's it's really gory but really cool
• 1:16:08
  stuff if you want to check that out.
• 1:16:12
  And is this is this a normal? Disabled build or did you do
• 1:16:15
  anything? No, just a, just a normal
• 1:16:18
  disabled. Build.
• 1:16:19
  I think build itself pretty good to be honest.
• 1:16:23
  Yeah. And I wanted to get the focus on
• 1:16:24
  to the head and the jaws, so I didn't want anything else
• 1:16:28
  distracted from that really. He's.
• 1:16:32
  He's got some fur for his vampire Wang.
• 1:16:33
  I forgot about that. He does.
• 1:16:37
  He's got a warm vampire Wang doesn't have his his leather
• 1:16:41
  jacket. Though that was a bit too.
• 1:16:44
  That was a bit. Too YMCA this particular.
• 1:16:48
  True, it works for the sebilus. But not for this guy.
• 1:16:52
  Works for the. Vampires in blade True.
• 1:16:56
  This is very true. I have.
• 1:16:58
  To admit I want to watch Blade and Blade 2 again now because
• 1:17:00
  we're talking about this so much.
• 1:17:02
  Have you just the side? The side because they also
• 1:17:05
  they're similar to that in ATV show called the strain.
• 1:17:09
  Have you watched that at all, Rich?
• 1:17:11
  I've seen the. 1st. Episode maybe and.
• 1:17:15
  Wasn't wasn't sure about it. It's never went back.
• 1:17:17
  Is it any good 1st? Some of it is really.
• 1:17:22
  Good some of. It's not so good, but yeah, it's
• 1:17:25
  worth a watch. Worth a while.
• 1:17:26
  I should give it a go. Yeah, watched the.
• 1:17:28
  First episode with Kerry and we were like, and then obviously
• 1:17:31
  we're distracted by something else sort of thing.
• 1:17:33
  But yeah, I'll give that a go. Go back.
• 1:17:37
  Yeah. So this next one is again.
• 1:17:39
  One of the earlier vampire customs I had done.
• 1:17:42
  My original plan was just to have a chronal torso painted up
• 1:17:50
  and the arm painted up to to go with the head sculpt.
• 1:17:54
  And then Simon Crow, bless him, another British painter, just
• 1:17:59
  repainted the whole figure. So this is awesome.
• 1:18:02
  Cool, cool vampire. I think generally people, this
• 1:18:06
  is a planetary dog toys. Head, I think people generally
• 1:18:08
  use it as an orc, but again, me being me, I wanted to turn into
• 1:18:12
  a vampire. So it's a vampire orc.
• 1:18:14
  Yeah, very cool. The pure.
• 1:18:16
  Born vampires while. Looking down on turned vampires
• 1:18:19
  know the value that turned ones can have.
• 1:18:21
  They use them as the bulk of their armies as they care little
• 1:18:24
  if they die or not. In particular though they love
• 1:18:26
  to use orcs as their shock troops, the orcs bring the size
• 1:18:32
  and bulk the other races don't. Not content with just their
• 1:18:35
  strength and violence, the pure born Lords make the turned orcs
• 1:18:39
  even more violent to make them berserkers.
• 1:18:41
  They starve from the blood shortly before battle.
• 1:18:44
  They then lock their jaws closed with horrific metal contraption,
• 1:18:47
  which they will only take off when the battle is won.
• 1:18:50
  This drives the Berserkers into relentless, uncontrolled
• 1:18:53
  violence to end the battle as quickly as possible and get them
• 1:18:56
  the blood they crave. Well.
• 1:19:01
  Yeah, you really? Wouldn't want to face this guy
• 1:19:02
  in a. In a fight, he's yeah, a piece
• 1:19:05
  of work and the. Ritualistic thing with the.
• 1:19:09
  Mask as well as well. Yeah, my bias, I think.
• 1:19:12
  I've got less dark. This is, again, one of my
• 1:19:14
  earlier ones. I think generally we've got
• 1:19:16
  less. It's our, yeah, it's our
• 1:19:17
  influence. Smile.
• 1:19:21
  If we turned him down a little bit since we stopped him.
• 1:19:26
  Making Santa chop up all these on the Christmas story or
• 1:19:31
  everyone in mythos. I've also realised that clearly.
• 1:19:36
  I dictated some of these BIOS into into word rather than
• 1:19:40
  typing that thing too. It might have heard me.
• 1:19:43
  Pause a couple of times, he said in.
• 1:19:44
  Particular though, they love to use turned dorks as their shock
• 1:19:47
  troops. I mean if it fakes, that's.
• 1:19:52
  Not what? I said that's absolutely.
• 1:19:54
  Not what I said. That's a swiper.
• 1:19:56
  Collectors everywhere. Yeah, and there was another one.
• 1:20:00
  In that see what was the other one?
• 1:20:04
  So where where is this guy from? Did you say?
• 1:20:08
  A plantry dog. Toys Head and.
• 1:20:10
  Then it's a completely repainted head to toe chronal body.
• 1:20:17
  And I can't. Find the other comedy thing.
• 1:20:18
  But I will. I will.
• 1:20:19
  Let you guys know when I see that there was another one too
• 1:20:21
  that and clearly it heard what I said and went I can't be right,
• 1:20:24
  let's change it. Yeah, this is too weird.
• 1:20:28
  Yeah. Right then.
• 1:20:31
  So this is a. Full customer bought off Mr
• 1:20:33
  Gerard many years ago, but it's still proudly at the front of my
• 1:20:37
  vampire display. This is the bad guy in my
• 1:20:40
  vampire thing. You know, you think all vampires
• 1:20:42
  are bad, but this, this is the bad guy Lord.
• 1:20:45
  Streisel is one of the oldest. Turned vampires, he was turned
• 1:20:48
  by Lithia herself and his and as such is older than Baron Volga.
• 1:20:53
  His resentment that Volga, not he, was given leadership of the
• 1:20:56
  vampires and then Boliger subsequently handing it over
• 1:20:59
  that leadership to his daughter. Lucretia has grown and grown
• 1:21:02
  over the ages. Once the first pure born vampire
• 1:21:06
  entered the world turned vampires regarded as inferior
• 1:21:09
  and not suitable for high rank. But Strezzul was proud and would
• 1:21:12
  not be treated with this sort of disdain.
• 1:21:15
  Although never gaining outright leadership, he has nevertheless
• 1:21:18
  fought fiercely to keep his place within the vampire
• 1:21:20
  hierarchy although Lucretia. Regards him as nothing more.
• 1:21:24
  Than a nuisance and a minor distraction as one of the oldest
• 1:21:27
  vampires he has afforded some respect his skeletal and.
• 1:21:31
  Weakened appearance. Through millennia of existence,
• 1:21:34
  further reinforcing her vision of him as weak.
• 1:21:37
  He has sorely underestimated his continuing verse for power,
• 1:21:40
  though. Strezzul commands.
• 1:21:42
  Great authority. Within the turn vampire ranks he
• 1:21:45
  has recruited Velius the Assassin and uses him to
• 1:21:47
  dispatch pure born vampire threats.
• 1:21:50
  He has gathered around him strong and driven vampires such
• 1:21:53
  as Wengus the Brutal. To add fear to his ranks.
• 1:21:56
  Strassul has werewolves as his personal guards as well.
• 1:22:00
  Werewolves. Are usually.
• 1:22:01
  Servants to vampires, but Strassul is realising their
• 1:22:04
  underlying strength. It was a weapon to exploit.
• 1:22:07
  They used foul magic to cross a werewolf and vampire to make
• 1:22:10
  creatures that have vampire speed but the size and strength
• 1:22:13
  of werewolves. He also knows that armed
• 1:22:16
  werewolves will draw out Boliger from his long self-imposed
• 1:22:18
  exile. Boliger did not crush their
• 1:22:21
  rebellion centuries ago to see them armed again.
• 1:22:23
  Now what Volga and the other pure born vampires don't realise
• 1:22:27
  but we'll soon find out is that Lord Strassul is not weak.
• 1:22:31
  He is feigning A decrepit state and can regain his full strength
• 1:22:34
  and appearance whenever he chooses.
• 1:22:36
  Civil war is coming to the brood and Strassul believes he will be
• 1:22:40
  victorious and his banner of red will rise.
• 1:22:44
  Now obviously some of that isn't.
• 1:22:45
  Quite up to date. Because obviously Volga's
• 1:22:47
  returned and Lithia's returned and everything like that.
• 1:22:49
  But again, one of the earlier sort of BIOS idea, but yeah,
• 1:22:53
  this guy's basically, you know, trying to take over himself sort
• 1:22:56
  of thing. So he's got the assassin that
• 1:22:58
  we've seen previously, Vengus the Brutal, who I mentioned.
• 1:23:01
  There was a vampire painted in the Joker colours, which I don't
• 1:23:05
  have any more, but again was one of his crew sort of thing.
• 1:23:09
  He comes sitting on a Batman throne too, that Jerry.
• 1:23:13
  I can't remember who the which Batman figure the throne came
• 1:23:16
  with, but Jeremy painted it black.
• 1:23:18
  So there's this Bat throne, the system, which I think is really
• 1:23:21
  cool. It's not.
• 1:23:23
  No, it can't be. I'm wondering if it.
• 1:23:25
  Was one that came with, you know, that they did those sort
• 1:23:29
  of He man DC character crossovers.
• 1:23:32
  I wonder if it's related to that.
• 1:23:34
  Possibly. I didn't make a note of it, I
• 1:23:36
  have to admit. But yeah, and if people like the
• 1:23:40
  head sculpt, there's a slightly updated version of this now on
• 1:23:44
  Wolf King Customs. It's an Emile Whitman sculpt,
• 1:23:47
  but he's refined a little bit since this and it's it's
• 1:23:50
  available Wolf King Customs now and plenty of mentions.
• 1:23:53
  Of werewolves. In that bio Oh, we get into
• 1:23:56
  them, don't worry. There is a picture we're getting
• 1:23:59
  to them. This is why I should have.
• 1:24:01
  Told you particularly the order, John.
• 1:24:03
  But never mind, you know that would be too organised for me.
• 1:24:06
  This dude is one of my favourites as well, I have to
• 1:24:08
  admit. Extremely.
• 1:24:10
  Unusual in the ranks of a. Lithia's brooder Vampire Demons.
• 1:24:14
  Oh no, this is about Bengus the. Brutal.
• 1:24:16
  Being one of the best known demons and vampires are such an
• 1:24:19
  innate hatred for each other that the loser of such
• 1:24:21
  encounters is usually torn limb from limb.
• 1:24:24
  Those vampires that. Do subdue a demon.
• 1:24:26
  And suppress their blood rage long enough to turn their
• 1:24:29
  defeated foe. Are held in high esteem by the
• 1:24:32
  vampire Generals, if not by the rank and file vampires.
• 1:24:36
  The Generals know all too well that a vampire demon has immense
• 1:24:39
  strength beyond even most vampires, and a knowledge of
• 1:24:42
  demons that will help the Brew defeat them in battle, forgoing
• 1:24:46
  the need. For weapons, these hellish.
• 1:24:47
  Brutes tear their foes to pieces with their claws and teeth.
• 1:24:52
  I. Love this dude and he doesn't.
• 1:24:54
  Move on the shelf. You could have like a hurricane
• 1:24:57
  go through and he would not move a millimetre.
• 1:24:59
  He is awesome. Yeah, you know.
• 1:25:02
  In in the very. Rare heat wave we get in the UK,
• 1:25:05
  Everything else is toppling. He's So they're going to bring
• 1:25:06
  it. You bring it on.
• 1:25:09
  Yeah, he's awesome. She's, well, hard.
• 1:25:12
  Yeah. Basically.
• 1:25:15
  So I love. This head.
• 1:25:17
  Yeah. Very cool.
• 1:25:18
  It's amazing, isn't it? So it's a.
• 1:25:20
  Planetary dogs Dog toys head Which?
• 1:25:23
  Simon Crowe painted up for me. Again the torsos and then the
• 1:25:27
  planetary dog toys torso. Again, the shops open till July.
• 1:25:31
  People, if you want anything, get there now.
• 1:25:33
  Again, painted by Simon. It's such a cool torso because
• 1:25:37
  it's got like that huge upper torso, but then the really
• 1:25:40
  narrow lower part sort of thing, which just gives that weird sort
• 1:25:44
  of look to it, which I think works well with edoema.
• 1:25:48
  And then he had tough boobs, so I.
• 1:25:50
  Grabbed a set of boobs off beltable.
• 1:25:53
  Nice. Here we go.
• 1:25:55
  So this is. Brazil's werewolves.
• 1:25:59
  We're almost there. Everybody for anyone that's just
• 1:26:01
  hanging on to life. Still, if you could use the pun,
• 1:26:03
  we've got 2 pictures left to go. Twisted creatures made through
• 1:26:07
  dark magic and from an unholy fusion of vampires and
• 1:26:10
  werewolves. This is how the werewolf guards
• 1:26:12
  of Lost Rasul are described by the Brood members.
• 1:26:16
  They have flatter faces than the usual werewolf and the speed of
• 1:26:20
  vampires, yet they still possess the strength and savagery of
• 1:26:23
  werewolves. Werewolves looked down upon by
• 1:26:25
  most vampires, having been in servitude to vampires for
• 1:26:28
  centuries. However, they are a proud race,
• 1:26:31
  and when given the opportunity to rise from servants to
• 1:26:33
  soldiers, a group of them volunteered to be changed
• 1:26:37
  without hesitation. They knew the vampire Lord.
• 1:26:39
  Offering this chance. Was only doing it to use them
• 1:26:41
  for his own ends, but the chance to achieve power and respect was
• 1:26:45
  enough to persuade them to volunteer to be changed.
• 1:26:50
  They spent. Decades being trained in.
• 1:26:51
  Secret in the arts of fighting, masters of various weapons and
• 1:26:56
  hand to hand fighting. They're both brutal and
• 1:26:58
  fearless. Lord Strezzul has now been.
• 1:27:02
  Revealed to them has now revealed them to the world and
• 1:27:05
  openly adopted them as his own bodyguards and is never seen
• 1:27:08
  without them. The leader of the guards is
• 1:27:10
  called Sergeant. Like a Strus.
• 1:27:13
  He is the most able warrior within the group and is also
• 1:27:15
  fearfully loyal to to Strassel for giving him the chance to
• 1:27:19
  rise from servitude. He rules his men with an iron
• 1:27:22
  claw and won't tolerate any disobedience.
• 1:27:25
  He is rumoured to have once beheaded one of his own men
• 1:27:27
  after the Wolf questioned why they should stay loyal Straszul.
• 1:27:31
  Clad the guards in. Vampire armour to further enrage
• 1:27:34
  his enemies within the Brood. He has though allowed Lacostas
• 1:27:38
  to wear mainly black as a sign of his loyalty.
• 1:27:41
  The others have red insignias. To show.
• 1:27:43
  Their part of Straszul's brood, the guards have never.
• 1:27:47
  Physically attacked by any. Vampires, despite being hated as
• 1:27:50
  rumour has it that a group of missing vampire nobility were
• 1:27:52
  torn apart by the werewolves for attempting to harm Straszul.
• 1:27:56
  Straszul himself has made sure to never deny this rumour.
• 1:28:01
  Wow, so there we. Go so these.
• 1:28:03
  Dudes are no nonsense. Oh yeah.
• 1:28:07
  A very good. Lesson that.
• 1:28:11
  The the heads are. From another line.
• 1:28:14
  So sometimes you get heads from other lines that work really
• 1:28:17
  well with mythics, and this is an example of it.
• 1:28:19
  It's Stan Winston's Blood Wolves line.
• 1:28:23
  There's a few different characters, but in particular
• 1:28:24
  there's one called Barreticus and it's a big figure.
• 1:28:27
  So the figure itself is like maybe 9 inches tall, but it
• 1:28:30
  comes with two heads. So one is the helmeted head that
• 1:28:34
  you see here and one is the unhelmeted head.
• 1:28:37
  So I bought 2 of him in the days where it's really difficult to
• 1:28:40
  find him. I'm not sure now, but this was
• 1:28:42
  like a few years ago and they're like £80 each, which at that
• 1:28:44
  point was like, whoa, craziness. Yeah.
• 1:28:49
  So. Particularly if I'm.
• 1:28:51
  Just after the head really sort of things.
• 1:28:52
  I've really seen the bodies. There's a different character
• 1:28:54
  that line. I don't.
• 1:28:58
  I'm afraid and no. Fair enough.
• 1:29:02
  These are very cool. I love the little thing in the
• 1:29:04
  bio, but the red and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:29:06
  And yeah. Splashing out a little bit,
• 1:29:10
  yeah. Here as well we can see, but I
• 1:29:13
  definitely dictated this bio into into word because Lord
• 1:29:18
  Strassel, as he's called at one point, is Lord Stress.
• 1:29:22
  Cool. And then another.
• 1:29:27
  Point he is called. There were two of them.
• 1:29:37
  Where's it? Where's it on go it?
• 1:29:38
  Was even funnier. That's too much silence for a
• 1:29:45
  podcast. Never mind.
• 1:29:46
  Yeah, it's too much silence to a podcast.
• 1:29:47
  I'll find it. If anyone's on the end of it
• 1:29:50
  ever, like desperately to know I will.
• 1:29:53
  I will find it and let them know.
• 1:29:56
  But Lord stress call I think is an.
• 1:29:58
  Awesome sounding guy. I like that one.
• 1:29:59
  Yeah, I love this. Guy, this is who.
• 1:30:04
  Had all the pies. Vampire, yes.
• 1:30:05
  So this one is this. Is one that I've not shown yet
• 1:30:08
  on the cabal or Instagram. So you know anyone watching the
• 1:30:11
  show this is This is a first chance to get to see this dude
• 1:30:14
  and he is one of my absolute favourites.
• 1:30:15
  He's front and centre on one of my 2 brood shelves.
• 1:30:20
  I call him the vampire glutton just because it's.
• 1:30:23
  Just yeah, just. A fat abomination.
• 1:30:25
  He looks like he could be in. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
• 1:30:28
  Factory. Oh, you really want to want?
• 1:30:31
  To meet him there no to replace that kid that.
• 1:30:36
  That eats too much. Oh, the fat kid.
• 1:30:38
  Yeah. Yeah, Vistas.
• 1:30:39
  Gloop, Augustus. Thank you, Mel.
• 1:30:42
  OK, one of the vilest. Vampires in all the.
• 1:30:45
  Brood is Lord Cobral. This ancient vampire is renowned
• 1:30:49
  for his insatiable, insatiable appetite for blood.
• 1:30:52
  Centuries he fulfilled. His appetite by.
• 1:30:54
  Constantly raiding settlements and draining the residents dry,
• 1:30:57
  he had no interest in turning any of them for the brood.
• 1:31:00
  He just wanted to gorge himself the leader of a of a brood
• 1:31:03
  within the brood itself. Lord Strasul, seeing the
• 1:31:06
  bloodlust, persuaded Gabriel to join his movement to eventually
• 1:31:10
  overthrow the Volleyer dynasty. Gabriel was an instant.
• 1:31:13
  Success. Even killing of the vampires for
• 1:31:16
  Strasul one time. Though his bloodlust meant he.
• 1:31:19
  Tasted the blood of his vampire victim and this would lead to a
• 1:31:23
  great change in his behaviour. He found the taste overwhelming
• 1:31:27
  and from that moment drank only vampire blood.
• 1:31:30
  This meant his roving ways ended and he began paying lowly
• 1:31:33
  vampires for their blood. Over time his now.
• 1:31:36
  Sedentary. Nature, along with the copious
• 1:31:39
  amounts of blood, many grew ever larger.
• 1:31:42
  Now he's regarded with disdain by many vampires in court for
• 1:31:45
  his bloated appearance and lack of desire to hunt.
• 1:31:48
  They whisper as he passes. It's the vampire.
• 1:31:51
  Glutton. There goes the vampire glutton.
• 1:31:59
  Little update on Helvetica Veriticus.
• 1:32:04
  It was the Stan Winston creatures blood wolves line from
• 1:32:08
  2003. It looks like NECA were involved
• 1:32:11
  in making them. That would make sense.
• 1:32:14
  It's got their sort. Of design, that's that.
• 1:32:17
  Stick to it. So that would make sense.
• 1:32:20
  Thank you ma'am. Very cool.
• 1:32:21
  No worries, I'm. Doing.
• 1:32:22
  The research in the background here my my helpful.
• 1:32:26
  Assistant, you're my Debbie McGee.
• 1:32:27
  Thank you would mean nothing to American.
• 1:32:30
  Listeners but. All European listeners, yeah.
• 1:32:35
  So. So the head was.
• 1:32:38
  Sculpted by our good friend. Gianluca the Gian Arts on
• 1:32:42
  Instagram, he's done loads of our dogs and that sort of stuff
• 1:32:44
  and has done the new dogs for this year.
• 1:32:46
  Printed by Josh Brown customs and painted by Jack Mitchell.
• 1:32:50
  The chest plate was sculpted so it's it's got a Valak torso, but
• 1:32:57
  with the develop front piece taken out and then the chest
• 1:33:00
  plate puts it in. This is the first one.
• 1:33:02
  I've got a few painted chest plates.
• 1:33:03
  This is the first one I put together and they work.
• 1:33:05
  It works so well so so. It was called by Thiago.
• 1:33:11
  Conti and printed by Toy Fights, our friend Anthony House Seal
• 1:33:16
  and painted again painted up by Jack Mitchell to go with the
• 1:33:20
  Baron Olga 2 which it sits on and the gobbler he's holding
• 1:33:23
  there is Scotland by Lee Jay Robinson from my Actually Bigger
• 1:33:29
  Customs and painted by Simon Crow.
• 1:33:33
  So a few. Different parts there and.
• 1:33:35
  They're sort of fur Pete, so it's on a Baron Olga two base
• 1:33:38
  and the fur piece on that. I didn't have a barabolical
• 1:33:40
  himself because I just didn't like the way it looked.
• 1:33:42
  This dude, I think it works brilliantly.
• 1:33:44
  Yeah, yeah, this is one of my. Favourites of a few vampires,
• 1:33:48
  actually, because I like that bloated look.
• 1:33:51
  Yeah, yeah, I love. It absolutely love my says front
• 1:33:54
  and centre on my shelf. Very.
• 1:33:58
  Cool, so there's. Vampires riches factory.
• 1:34:02
  I've still got a few that I haven't.
• 1:34:03
  Shown or not in this, but you know they'll appear at some
• 1:34:05
  point. You've got shelves set up now
• 1:34:07
  these days. You're you're back and I should,
• 1:34:10
  I should, I meant to give you the pictures of this.
• 1:34:11
  Of the shelves, John, and completely forgot that we can do
• 1:34:15
  it next time, yeah. But yeah, I've got a.
• 1:34:18
  Shelf and 2/3 of vampires basically.
• 1:34:22
  And there's like you can get, I've got the Billy IKEA Billy
• 1:34:27
  shelf shelves 80 centimetre wide ones, but I've made them deeper
• 1:34:31
  as well. So there's like 26 figures or
• 1:34:33
  you can get 26 figures per shelf.
• 1:34:35
  So that's a lot of vampires. And the other third of the
• 1:34:39
  second shelf is dedicated to my vampire hunters, which I'm not
• 1:34:43
  shown yet, but I'm very happy with and they're coming soon to
• 1:34:47
  watch this space. So you can as much love the
• 1:34:49
  vampires, I want badasses that hunt them down.
• 1:34:55
  I want everyone. What faction would they?
• 1:34:57
  Be. Would they be?
• 1:34:58
  They're just vampire hunters. They know I've.
• 1:35:00
  Just I've just labelled them vampire hunters because there's,
• 1:35:02
  there's all that, they're all different races and everything's
• 1:35:05
  no, no two races. So they come the same, yeah.
• 1:35:08
  And. Basically to through various
• 1:35:10
  back stories and hatred of vampires they come together to
• 1:35:14
  take on the vampires. Very good.
• 1:35:17
  Well. I think that's us for this week.
• 1:35:20
  I have a feeling there's going to be a bunch of news coming
• 1:35:22
  over the next couple of days that we're too late for or too
• 1:35:26
  early for. Sorry the news is coming too
• 1:35:30
  late for us, but we'll get to that next week, I'm sure.
• 1:35:33
  Legions con details looks like they're coming closer, Hotel
• 1:35:37
  rooms coming closer during the week.
• 1:35:43
  So yeah, that tease about the the table is nearly set already
• 1:35:49
  that that seems to be the big Legions con theme this year.
• 1:35:52
  So table think what you can do with the table.
• 1:35:55
  I don't know pieces I mean. Vampires don't want me around
• 1:36:00
  the wooden table that's they get twitchy at that point you break
• 1:36:02
  a leg off through the heart that vampires done so no maybe.
• 1:36:08
  King Arthur tribute some. More nights, yeah.
• 1:36:13
  I mean, I wouldn't object to that it.
• 1:36:14
  Has to be said. Yeah, I'd find it cool as well,
• 1:36:19
  but. We've had a lot of nights
• 1:36:20
  recently, so we have. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:36:23
  It's time to move. Wholeheartedly onto shark men or
• 1:36:26
  dwarfs. Or dwarfs it was.
• 1:36:30
  Perhaps golf shark men? No, I'm not.
• 1:36:34
  Goblets. No, they're.
• 1:36:37
  Cool, but not that cool. Not cool enough.
• 1:36:40
  I like my goblets as. Well, I like the little guys.
• 1:36:45
  Cheers.
