Vampire Counts
Army Special Rules
This section describes all the different units used in a Vampire Counts army, along with any rules necessary to use them in your games of Warhammer. Where a model has a special rule that is explained in the Warhammer rulebook, only the name of that rule is given. If a model has a special rule that is unique to it, that rule is detailed alongside its description. However, there are a number of commonly recurring 'army special rules' that apply to several Vampire Counts units, and these are detailed here.
All units with the Undead special rule have the Animated Construct, Fear, and Unstable special rules. However, they may make march moves if they are within 12" of the army's General.
All units with the Undead special rule have the Animated Construct, Fear, and Unstable special rules. However, they may make march moves if they are within Army General's Inspiring Presence range or are joined by a character with the Lore of Necromancy.
Models with the Vampiric special rule have the Fear and Immunity (Psychology) special rules. In addition, models suffer -1 To Wound rolls against them, unless they are using Magical Attacks or Flaming Attacks.
Whenever a model with this special rule kills one or more enemy models in close combat, roll a D6 at the end of the Close Combat phase. On the roll of a 5+, the model recovers a single Wound lost earlier in the battle. This does not work against models with the Animated Construct, Daemonic, Forest Spirit or Vampiric special rules.
If your army contains any Undead units, you must include at least one character that is a Wizard that uses the Lore of Necromancy.
Slain General
At the end of the phase in which the General is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units on the battlefield must take a Leadership test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the Leadership test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack.
If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the General, there is one or more friendly Wizard Characters on the table who know spells from the Lore of Necromancy, no unit in the army needs to take this Leadership test while at least one of them remain.
Battle Standards
In addition to the normal rules for the army battle standard, units of Undead within 12" of their battle standard suffer D3 Wounds less than they normally would due to the Unstable special rule, or following the death of the army's General.
Characters and Units
Characters who are not Undead may join Undead units despite not being Unstable themselves. Mounted Characters ignore the Undead special rule of the mount. If an Undead unit would get destroyed as a result of Unstable, any remaining character(s) will need to take a Break test as normal the same phase, using the Leadership modifier that they lost the combat by.
Some magic spells and items can restore lost Wounds and even resurrect fallen warriors in an Undead (including Tomb Kings) unit. Wounds regained in this way follow a strict order.
First, the musician is resurrected, and then the standard bearer, displacing rank-and-file models as required. Then rank-and-file models with multiple Wounds (including command figures) are healed to their starting value. Resurrected command models displace rank and file models as required. Finally, any remaining Wounds resurrect rank-and-file models. In the case of multiple-Wound rank-and-file models, the first resurrected models must be fully healed before another can be resurrected.
Resurrected models are added to the front rank until it reaches at least a full rank – additional models can then be added to the front or rear rank. Raised models may never displace enemy units; if there is not enough room, any excess models are wasted. Similarly, if you do not have enough models of the appropriate type, place as many as you can – the rest are wasted.
A unit cannot be taken beyond its starting size unless specified, and no single model can ever exceed its starting Wounds value. Any characters in the unit can only be healed if targeted separately from the rest of the unit, in which case only they are healed.
