Advice on vampire thralls please?

[Vusfnuv]

Hello all,

I want to get a vampire team, but I don't like any that I see on the market. I want to have them as a mix of noble-looking vampires in human form (no fur, fangs, bat-ears etc) and a dozen of thralls.

As for the vampire models Black Scorpion elves will do perfectly:

But I have problems finding thralls. As the team is supposed to come from Silvania, the most obvious choice would be to get peasants 28mm miniatures and sculpt some helmets and shoulder pads for them. But unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything that is not armed with scythes, axes and other stuff, which gives them poses I don't like.

Do you have any ideas, may be links to other manufacturers? I'm pretty sure there are lots of other 28mm companies and I must have missed a lot of them in my searches.

Alternatively the backup plan which I don't like much, but could take is to get Games-Workshop Empire Free Company http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... GameStyle=
or
Empire State Troops http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... GameStyle=,
and try to convert them, but they look to cool to be thralls.

As for the original blood bowl team from GW, I don't like the quality and the poses. And they all look similar, which also is not good.

Can you suggest me anything?

Not sure it is what you want.

Thank you, these look nice, I guess I missed them on the GW site.

Do you know if the models on the second photo have anything modded besides the hands? It looks like the arms do not correspond to the initial position, though I'm not really sure.

Sorry, i don't understand "modded". No convertion, just snipped the bow.

Yes, that's what I ment. Thank you!
