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.

For each unsaved Wound caused by the sword, Mannfred gains an extra dice at the start of the ensuing Magic phase (this will be a power dice in his own Magic phase, and a dispel dice in the enemy's Magic phase).

Heavy armour. The Armour of Templehof gives Mannfred +2 Wounds (in addition to any Wounds he would get from being mounted on a Monster).

Armour of Templehof

The Cloak of Darkness provides Mannfred with Magic Resistance (3).

Cloak of Darkness

This staff allows Mannfred to cast Invocation of Nehek from the Lore of Necromancy without using any Power dice in each of his Magic phases. The spell is cast with a Power Level equal to its basic casting value and can be dispelled normally.

Ebony Staff

The model adds +D3 to the number of Wounds healed whenever it successfully casts Invocation of Nehek, following its normal restrictions.

Dark Acolyte

A player using a model with the Master of the Black Arts power can re-roll one of the dice when it is determining the strength of the Winds of Magic in each of your Magic phases.

Master of the Black Arts

This Vampire can use the Invocation of Nehek spell to increase units of Dire Wolves, Bat Swarms and Fell Bats beyond their starting size, even though they are not all Undead.

Summon Creatures of the Night

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.

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.
