Jesper Hansen hails from Denmark and has been active in the Warhammer tournament scene for the last five years. He has already had great success with the Empire, having won Best Painted Army six times in various competitions, culminating in overall victory at the Dutch Grand Tournament! Eighteen months ago he embarked on a new project, painting a Vampire Counts army, more specifically the Blood Dragons. Jesper wanted to completely re-invent the existing theme, so he chose to base the army on the High Elves instead.

Apart from the excellent standard of painting, a lot of thought has gone into selecting the most appropriate High Elf models and components. The interchangeable nature of the plastic regiment sets has been exploited when creating the bulk of the army, but for more specialised units and leaders Jesper has only done what is necessary to maintain the overall theme of the army. This could be as simple as using Alarielle as a Banshee, or as technical as his 'Dead Tyrion' conversion for the Blood Dragon Thrall for which Jesper sculpted the face himself!

In the future Jesper will expand his army to include more Zombies as well as a converted Black Coach based upon a Tiranoc chariot. He also has plans for a Slaanesh army that will include morphing Chaos Warriors and Centaur Knights. Let's hope that he will have it finished in time for the next Grand Tournament!
