  Vampire Counts - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Vampire Counts are one of the forces playable in the tabletop wargame Warhammer Fantasy.
The Vampire Counts generally hail from the area of Sylvania, though their presence is felt across the Old World and beyond.
Vampire Count armies are primarily hordes of low-quality infantry, made up of classic undead creatures like skeletons, zombies, ghosts and ghouls, alongside elite units of Black Knights, Grave Guard, and various other creatures typically depicted as being in league with vampires, such as wolves or bats.

It is centuries since the Vampire Counts of Sylvania waged war upon the Empire, when hordes of Zombies poured through the streets of Waldenhof and Skeleton legions plagued the lands between Wurtbad and Bechafen on the Northern Marches.

A Vampire Count may seem elegant to his friends, but be warned that behind these soft, even pleasant exteriors, there is a creature of vile and evil intent.

 Vampire numbers
Vampire ratio is (n-digit vampire numbers)/(n-digit integers) and not a ratio of performed tests.
Vampire equations are all equations of the form vampire = fang1 · fang2, i.e.
It remains a vampire when an arbitrary number of the digits "351" is inserted in the second fang, as long as there is at least one "0" to the left of every "3".

 TWG 3.0 - RPG, movie,CCG, miniature game reviews
As suggested by the title, a Vampire Count army draws heavily on the atmosphere of full moons, misty forests, Transylvania, bats, and numberless concourses of mindless warriors hungry for the blood of the living.
Furthermore, a Vampire Counts army is a heavily magic army, since your general must be a wizard in order to control the shambling horde.
The spell-casters in a Vampire Counts army, be they necromancers or actual Vampires, draw their spells either from the Lore of Death or the school of Necromancy.

Vampires themselves are popular bad guys and they have never been fully detailed for WFRP.
Finally, a number of tomes containing knowledge of Vampires and the necromantic arts are discussed and there is enough detail for expansion should you wish to use these.
Vampire Counts does have some benefit to WFRP players although GMs will have to work with the information to get the most out of it.

 Review: Vampire Counts WFB 6
Warhammer Vampire Counts was published in spring of 2001 and was written by Alessio Cavatore, with additional material by Tuomas Pirinen and Space McQuirk.
The counts of Sylvania and their history are all here, but it doesn't trace their bloodline back to Lahmia.
Necromancy is the specialized magic of the Vampire Counts army and as such is not available to any other army.

When a vampire tags a human, they become a vampire and they must howl loud enough for the others players to hear, but not loud enough to bring the cops.
The purpose of this is to conceal the identity of the vampire.
When the cross is invoked, all vampires in the wielder's range of sight must run away for 10 seconds, or to the other end of the field, whichever comes first.

Your general must choose at least one power from one of the four Bloodlines and all other Vampires in your army must be of the same Bloodline.
You can be rampaging through your opponent's army one moment, watching his units fail fear and terror tests, and the next moment watching your army decomposing and dropping to the ground as piles of bone and goo, due to the loss of key leaders.
Use a Blood Dragon Vampire Thrall, give it the Strength of Steel power and the Crown of Sorcery (the wearer has the spellcasting abilities of a Level 3 Necromancer), mount him on a barded Nightmare, and give him heavy armour, a shield and a lance.

Vampire movies rarely stray from a few key defining aspects, and The Horrible Sexy Vampire isn't about to rock the boat.
Like many self-centered nosferatu, this horrible sexy vampire alternates between peeking at naked women, feeding his blood frenzy, and lamenting the loneliness of his curse, from which he yearns to be free.

 Vampire Blood Bowl team
Vampire teams generally also include a number of human thralls, weak-willed mortal creatures that are willing to serve the Vampire Lord in return for the promise of immortality at some time in the future.
Vampire Lords are player coaches, and actually take part in the game rather than simply yelling at the players (and referee) from the sidelines.
The Vampire that takes over the team immediately loses the 'Off for a Bite' negative skill as soon as the old Vampire Lord dies (but is NOT considered a Big Guy), and its entry on the roster should be changed straight away to show that it is the new Vampire Lord of the team.

 Review: Vampire Counts WFB 5
Strangely, Vampires herald from the land of the dead and the Lahmian nobility but their name is distinctly German and Old World - an issue not grappled with here.
The Necrarch is a vampire warped and twisted by its nature and its study of evil powers, they remain aloof and concerned with their studies.
Its partly reprint, the background of the vampire bloodlines was printed in WD in part rather than in the text, and essentially the only new material is are 8 pages, one page of description for each blood line and one page depicting each of the bloodline's powers.

The Wight Blades special rule also makes the mundane weapons carried by Wights count as "magical" for purposes of being able to wound ethereal creatures, able to hit certain characters who are protected by magical armour, etc.
As the "Wight Blades" special rule states that the Killing Blow and the ability of the weapons to count as magical are attached to the mundane weapons carried by the Wights, the Wights would no longer benefit from either of those special rules.
In additon, as they would be striking with their fists, they would not receive any strength bonuses from weapons or be able to receive the +1 Armour Save bonus for using a hand weapon and shield.

The Elector Counts’ army was fighting well, when Ostland’s count, whose name has since been lost, saw Necromortis enter a cathedral’s crypt, which was near the site of the battle.
The count’s son foolishly charged in alone, and was easily dispatched by some foul sorcery uttered by Necromortis.

Collecting An Army: In a Vampire Counts army there is a wide variety of troops, but most collectors agree that you need a solid core of two regiments, usually Zombies, Skeletons or Ghouls.
Vampire Thralls, although powerful, are points expensive and can only cast one spell.
Please e-mail me if you know any good Vampire Counts tactics, especially against High Elves, Dwarfs and Wood Elves as my friends collect these armies and I play a few battles against them.

Get calvary not only because the blood dragons are vampire knights but also these are one of the few fast moving vampire counts troops and when they charge those wights can pack a wallop.
Use necromancers, your vampires in this family aren't very competent magic users but that's ok knowing they are the best hand to hand fighters in the game.

And I hate to be nit-picky, but the 'counts-as' rule refers to older games workshop minis in tournaments.
You can't use the statistics for Tomb Kings units in a Vampire Counts army.
It helps if you have a good reason for proxying one unit for another (for example, if you're playing Lahmia Vampires it makes sense to use Tomb Kings models, since Lahmia Vampires are the bloodline most attached to the ways of old Khemri).

 2000 points vs. Vampire Counts
Two forests and a couple of hills, one of which was covered by a forest; a lot of woods I know, but I'm counting the one I placed.
Terrain was relatively meaningless against the 40K-like ghoul army that I faced.
Perhaps it's just my twisted logic, but it seems to me that if you're planning on playing w/ a Treeman, then the Ancient becomes very tempting since most of his points would have been spent on a normal Treeman anyway.
