sea.man`s WFB von Carstein's Vampire Counts

well, I had 9 spare metal marauders and made 3 spirit hosts some time ago, you might remember them.
it seems that plastic gw minis are the best choice - you will make quite cheap and consistent unit out of 1 plastic box, no matter if you choose flagellants or other models. I'd personally go with Empire or Bretonnia army for this purpose, I can hardly imagine dwarven/elven ghosts, not to mention skaven or chaos warriors my marauders all had similar weapons, but a mix of different weaponry would be more interesting - crossbows, swords, spears... also, a mounted model places among foot models would make for a nice centerpiece of such a unit.
Of course you might use a combination of minis from 2 armies and say that these are ghosts summoned at some old battlefield

I can't remember any company making a wide selection of ghosts, apart from Reaper. But, buying many metal models will make your unit much less affordable
you could perhaps avoid these costs by choosing something like this, as each would make for a complete base

I used the Lotro Army of dead to make my ghosts for my VC army:

Thank you for ideas!
@Hellspawn
I think LotR minis are a bit smaller, is there a size difference or is it unnoticeable?

They're a little smaller yeah, but honestly, next to my skellies I can't really notice it. Can make a picture next to a skelly if you want to check it

no thanks, your word is enough

I got back to the tale. On the workbench are ghouls, old von Carsteins, ghoul lord and a necromancer that will be a filler for the ghouls.
