The Vampire Counts are fiends without equal. They seek to topple the civilisations of the living and supplant them with an Undead empire. Each Vampire is a unique and majestic figure with his own personality, drive and ambition. In contrast, their minions are mindlessly obedient – rank after rank of ragged and dirt-encrusted cadavers forced back to life by their masters' necromantic power. A Vampire Counts army arrayed on the battlefield is a frightening sight. Amongst the endless ranks of maggotridden corpses and clacking, rust-clad Skeletons come hideous and misshapen predators. The skies fill with the rustle of a thousand leathery wings as giant bats whirl and screech. At the heart of this nightmare ride the Vampires themselves, moonlight gleaming from their fangs as they smile in the anticipation of the slaughter to come.

Von Carstein or Blood Dragon only. At the start of a challenge, the enemy character selected to take on the Vampire must take a Leadership test before any blows are struck. If failed, the enemy model will fight with Weapon Skill 1 for the remainder of the turn.

Vampiric Powers Type

Vampires originate from the ancient land of Lahmia, where the first of them actually reigned as kings and queens. Here they followed a corrupted form of the death cult of Khemri. When Lahmia was overthrown and destroyed and its necropolis was ransacked, only seven of the blood drinking nobility escaped. They fled to different parts of the known world and hid among mortal society. Of these seven original Vampires, five are known to the men of the Old World. All the Vampires recorded in history are their descendants and so have inherited common family traits. The oldest Vampires have the purest blood and the most direct line of descent. Their powers are greater and therefore their influence and standing among the Vampire kind is also greater. In this section you will find powers that can be bought for your Vampires. You cannot buy multiples of the same power for a single Vampire, but different Vampires in the same army can have the same powers if you wish. Each Vampire may only take powers from their own Bloodline (unless specified).
