Vampire Counts

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.

Attacks made with the Dagger of Jet are at +1 Strength with the Poisoned Attacks special rule.

Dagger of Jet

At the end of each turn of the game that Neferata is still alive, the Ruby of Lahmia automatically lets her regain one Wound that she has lost during the battle.

Ruby of Lahmia

When Neferata successfully casts a magic missile, direct damage or hex spell, each target suffer D3 additional Strength 5 hits after the spell effect has been resolved.

The Staff of Pain

At the beginning of each of her turns, Neferata can send Bastet to any enemy unit on the battlefield within 12". Place a marker of Bastet next to the affected unit. Bastet looks just like an ordinary black cat and therefore will be ignored by the enemy (the model can be moved through, it doesn't stop the enemy from marching, etc.). The target unit will be afflicted by miserable bad luck and everything that can go wrong will. The unit must re-roll any successful armour save it takes while under Bastet's influence. This lasts for the duration of the Vampire player's turn.

Bastet

Enemies must re-roll successful rolls To Hit in close combat against this model.

Lightning Reflexes

The model gains the Dodge (5+) special rule.

Quickblood

At the beginning of the Close Combat round, after challenges have been issued and/or accepted, select a model in base contact with the Vampire. The selected model must take a Leadership test with a -1 modifier. If the test is failed, the victim is controlled by the Vampire player in that Close Combat phase. The model will direct its attacks against his own side. The model cannot be attacked by either side in that Close Combat phase but, after combat resolution has been worked out, it reverts immediately to the original player's control and can therefore use his Leadership for any Break tests and can be broken and pursued as normal. If the model has no friendly models in base contact, counts as being Transfixed instead. If the Vampire was in a challenge with a model that it takes control of, the challenge ends and both models may attack other targets as normal.

Seduction

The Lore of Shadow Lore

The Lore of Shadow is a force of illusion and deception, relying chiefly on phantasmal attacks to sap the enemy's will (or ability) to fight. 

The Lore of Shadow

The Lore of Death Lore

The Lore of Death has a formidable battery of short-ranged damage spells that specialise in zapping enemy characters. Death magic is more destructive even than Fire magic, but the Wizard has to be pretty close to their foe (perhaps dangerously close) to use the Lore of Death to its full, fearsome potential.

Neferata

Shadowblood is a magic missile with a range of 24". When cast, Neferata must declare how many Wounds she is using to boost the effects of the spell. The spell causes D6 Strength 5 hits with the Flaming Attacks special rule plus an extra D6 hits for each wound Neferata expends. In addition, a unit suffering one or more wounds from this spell must immediately take a Panic test.

Special Character

The Warhammer Army books each include the rules for several Special Characters within their pages. They are famous, named war leaders and mighty mages, tales of whose legendary (or nefarious) deeds have travelled far and wide, such as the Emperor Karl Franz, Grom the Paunch of Misty Mountain, the infamous Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein and many more besides. Special Characters are exceptional individuals but, more importantly for our army selection purposes, they are unique – each can be included in an army only once.
