If you ever plan to do an Interview with the Vampire crossover, then the blue-coat portrayal by William O'Connor could be perfect for Louis. Or indeed any other androgynous whimpering vampire too paralyzed by self-pity for his fallen state to do more than sulk in nightclubs and drive around looking for journalists I'm so glad I picked up the Ral Partha set of Darklords a few months back. I still haven't found anybody who will paint them for me, but at least these are accurate and (to my mind) canon portrayals of the darklords we know and love. I don't think they ever did do a Rudolph van Richten, however.

Yes, the Ral Partha blister 11-112 Vampire Hunters included a van Richten. http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/Mausoleum/Mini_CollectorsList.html

#7 The_Jester Jan 07, 2007 11:02:39	There's a new vampire hunter mini up and, while better, still is nowhere close to what I'd like to see. Looks like VanHellsing, that crap-fest of a movie, has infected the sculpters...

The first is that the mini never technically says that it's supposed to be Rudolph van Richten. Ergo, the mini actually represents the lesser-known Stanley van Richten, the good doctor's gung-ho cousin. The second was to base his next character concept on the mini. If his current character dies, he intends to make a character named "Rowdy Rudy" van Richten, a conman hunter of the dead claiming to be the now-retired doctor in order to boost his own career. After all, Dr. van Richten has been level-drained often enough that it would be reasonable for him to be a low-level adventurer again, just starting his career over. Only this time, he's not going easy on monsters... this time around... IT'S HAMMER TIME! Needless to say, I'm now terrified to kill his current character. Jeremy Puckett (Hida Jiremi)
