Thats awesome work! I did inform people from time to time about progress in my thread due to high popularity and demand 
And yes, because of that we will continue to make more models. Maximal will start new monster next week, and we should have soon models averagely one in week or two weeks, we shall see, but few of them are commissioned so far. Working with him was pleasant experience, a lot of communication for those who are communicative like me. He is good as you can see, after I saw that werewolf and Nosferatu I knew that he is the right guy for classical monsters.
Anyway, this is first true Dracula unit resembling classical one from movies. There is hero and unit version. Hero version has beard, mustaches, long hair, team color and his bat has some additional small part of clothes on it. It supposed to be vampire lord, while the unit supposed to be mass produced or creep, that is regular count. Unit version resembles more Bela Lugosi/Christopher Lee and HOMM4 vampire version, he has no beard and mustache, no long hair, no hero glow and bat has no additional clothes to be little different from hero version.
So you got three models actually as bat can be used separately as bat unit/creep regardless of the vampire, for more functionality. Yes, the vampires are suitable for Lordean, Cityscape and underground maps, or creeping around graveyards, mansions and of course, a must in Lordaean Fall, Halloween themed maps! They are just born to that! Classic Halloween monster!

Bearded bats. That's rich although the "human" form's is not white.
Or wait, there's a black beard and... some dining tissue xD?

Once again ppl don't look at ingame screenshot or look at ingame themselves, HIVE viewer doesn't correctly render the material technique I used for the bat form

HAHAHAHA they did it again!
Guys, to remind you this is paid model, some money, time and energy is invested in these, its professional work and product, at least people can download it and check ingame before commenting especially if something feels wrong.
Like this, look how awesome models looks like in Lordaean Fall tileset

The stand with the sword downward on the ground reminds of the vampire from HoM&MV.
The visuals remind of the one from IV yeah but that dude looked more like a goon, modern thug vampire.

Even so, the hero version of the unit is still appreciated as it's a different model which in my opinion the better one.

HA! Another one who favors more original classic!
Honestly, objectively that hero version looks more accurate to real Dracula, but subjectively I also favor classical look as 1931 Dracula. You know, classic monsters are unfairly underestimated it here, almost nobody is making them. I understand that its people's taste, just look at my contest I hosted, just one modern monster and few game monsters. people are the most interested in monsters from modern games. I do respect that, but still its the fact that these old movies came first and started foundation to everything else, so Maximal and I are gonna to change that, more monsters should come.
Yes what you suggested is reasonable actually, so he implemented it, and we will also get bat attack anim as well.
Oh guys, regarding attack anim for bat, if you tested it on Druid of Talon or Medivh since they have already morph spell implemented, you would notice that due to lack of attack anim sequence for bat, bat will use dracula's attack sequence instead. So it will stand and fly like bat but attack as dracula. That could be easily fixed by renaming bat's sequence by adding attack in the name (speaking of alternate sequence). But still, we should get attacking anim despite it was being designed as air transporting himself in bat form. Attack could be useful.
EDIT: HA! Maximal just updated bundle, we got bat attacking anim for those who want it as it can be useful!
