Vampires Race Lore

[Fadril Adren]

New Vampires! Nagash initially sided with Sigmar for survival, but eventually retreated to the Realm of Shyish, Wind Realm of Death.

Nagash's Goals are to destroy everyone else and rule those willing to bow down to him.
Specifically to destroy Chaos. And to become supreme God of Undeath. 
Having learned nothing from the End Times, he fights the forces of chaos alone, and ends up getting defeated by Archaon...again. Still unwilling to accept defeat and too proud to accept a place in the forces of Order, he is currently in the state he always seems to be in: gathering power, just about to return.

Current Vampire Counts Models:

Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead



Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead and father of necromancy has returned, and the Warhammer world will never be the same again.



Resurrected by dark ritual, the immortal Lord of Death is an awe-inspiring centerpiece miniature. Borne aloft by tendrils of ethereal energy and tormented spirits, his unique silhouette looms over the battlefield with an air that promises to usher in a new era of darkness.



This multi-part plastic kit is equipped with an array of Nagash’s most precious artifacts. Upon his brow sits the Crown of Sorcery, while his hand grips either Alakanash, the Staff of Power or Zefet-nebtar, the Mortis Blade. He is clad in Morikhane, the Black Armour, and orbiting around his sorcerous frame are nine ancient books, each one containing the terrible secrets of animating the dead.



Nagash can be assembled either reading from one of the ancient tomes - the Liber Mortis - and holding the Staff of Power aloft with the Mortis Blade secured to his waist. Alternatively you can replace the Staff with the Mortis Blade and add to the ethereal energy that surrounds Nagash by equipping a spirit-entwined arm. The full rules for using Nagash in games of Warhammer are included in Warhammer: Nagash. They can also be found in the construction booklet that accompanies the miniature.

Arkhan The Black, Mortarch of Sacrament



Arkhan the Black is Nagash’s foremost lieutenant and an adept student of his master’s sorceries. Ever a faithful servant, Arkhan oversaw the preparations for the Great Necromancer’s return and once again he is at the forefront of his master's schemes for domination.



This multi-part plastic kit makes Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament. He is armed with weapons forged by Nagash’s own hand – Zefet-kar, the Tomb Blade and Khenash-an, the Staff of Spirits – which were awarded to him when he was reborn as the Liche King. Riding the dread abyssal known as Razarak, the Doom of Traitors, Arkhan presides over Nagash’s armies ensuring no detail escapes his unblinking gaze.



The full rules for using Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament in games of Warhammer are included in Warhammer: Nagash. They can also be found in the construction booklet that accompanies the miniature.



Alternatively this kit can be assembled as Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night or Neferata, Mortarch of Blood.


Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night



Mannfred von Carstein serves at Nagash’s right hand. It is an occupation which he greatly resents, and he is ever watchful for a means to free himself from his servitude to the Great Necromancer. Though some warriors judge themselves by the standards of the enemies they vanquish, Mannfred is no slave to conventions of honour or glory. Ends concern him far more than means; if the choice falls between slaughtering the meek and vanquishing the mighty, he chooses slaughter.

This multi-part plastic kit makes Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night. He is armed with Gheistvor, Sword of Unholy Power and clad in the magical Armour of Templehof. Manfred rides the dread abyssal known as Ashigaroth, Gorger Upon the Meek, for it feasts upon those too callow to raise a hand in their own defence.

The full rules for using Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night in games of Warhammer are included in Warhammer: Nagash. They can also be found in the construction booklet that accompanies the miniature.

Alternatively this kit can be assembled as Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament or Neferata, Mortarch of Blood.


Neferata, Mortarch of Blood



Legends tell of a vampire queen who resides high in the Worlds Edge Mountains. The Queen of Mysteries does indeed exist, she fought at Nagash’s side againsts the armies of Nehekhara, and when the battle was lost she fled from his wrath . Those who know call her Neferata, which means ‘She who is beautiful in death’. Now, after thousands of years, the Great Necromancer has returned, and Neferata is presented with a choice: betray Nagash to his foes, or seek to gain redemption, once more earning a place at his side.

This multi-part plastic kit makes Neferata, Mortarch of Blood. She is armed with the treasures of old Lahmia: Akmet-kar, the Dagger of Jet whose cursed edge screams with the death agonies of innocents and Aken-seth, the Staff of Pain, whose enchantments add crippling agonies to any sorceries she wields. Neferata rides into battle upon the dread abyssal known as Nagadron, the Adevore, who happily gorges himself upon Neferata’s living enemies as eagerly as it does the souls of the dead.

The full rules for using Neferata, Mortarch of Blood in games of Warhammer are included in Warhammer: Nagash. They can also be found in the construction booklet that accompanies the miniature.

Alternatively this kit can be assembled as Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament or Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night.


Vlad von Carstein



Vlad von Carstein was the first and greatest of the Vampire Counts of Sylvania. It was he who tainted the once human aristocracy of Sylvania with the curse of Undeath, and in so doing created an Undead Kingdom in the heart of the Empire. Vlad blends powerful Necromantic abilities with an awesome fighting prowess - he can raise Skeletons as easily as he can butcher entire regiments. With the power of the Carstein Ring at his finger tips (on his finger to be more accurate) he is virtually indestructible, simply disappearing into the ground as the fatal blow is struck, only to reappear nearby. He will then exact his revenge on the unfortunate victim who thought he'd got the better of the most fearsome Vampire to walk the Old World.

This pack contains Vlad von Carstein - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes as one component, and is supplied with a 20mm Square Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints.


Isabella von Carstein



Isabella von Carstein was once a noblewoman, and the only child of the mad Count Otto von Drak. Without a male heir to his estate, Otto vowed to marry his daughter to a nobleman worthy of his land, though of course, that meant none of the local lords, who were all bitter rivals. The man to whom Isabella was eventually wed, was Vlad von Carstein, a darkly handsome nobleman from the north. Many years later, when Isabella fell ill to a fatal wasting disease, Vlad finally gave into Isabella's request and allowed her to join him in Undeath. As a Vampire she would march into battle alongside Vlad, bolstering his might with the legendary Blood Chalice of Bathori - an ancient heirloom suffused with Dark Magic.

This pack contains Isabella von Carstein - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in four components and is supplied with a 20mm square base.


Mannfred the Acolyte



Mannfred is the most magically gifted of all of the von Carsteins, having studied the ancient spells within the Book of the Dead and mastered them completely. Imbued with staggering magical power, Mannfred the Acolyte knows all the spells from the Lore of the Vampires, though this model can also be used to represent Mannfred at the zenith of his power as Count Mannfred, enabling him to use spells from the Lore of Death as well. Like many of his vampiric kin, Mannfred has led the armies of Sylvania to war on many occasions, his mastery of the necromantic arts sustaining his army far beyond their normal potential. This combination of magic and martial skill makes Mannfred a foe that few Generals would ever want to face.

This pack contains Mannfred the Acolyte - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in three components and is supplied with a 20mm square base.


Count Mannfred



Mannfred is the most magically gifted of all of the von Carsteins, having studied the ancient spells within the Book of the Dead and mastered them completely. Imbued with staggering magical power, Mannfred knows all the spells from the Lore of the Vampires and all the spells from the Lore of Death. Like many of his vampiric kin, Mannfred has led the armies of Sylvania to war on many occasions, his mastery of the necromantic arts sustaining his army far beyond their normal potential. This combination of magic and martial skill makes Count Mannfred a foe that few Generals would ever want to face.

This pack contains Count Mannfred - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in seven components and is supplied with a 25x50mm cavalry base.

Konrad von Carstein



There are few things more dangerous than a violent lunatic, but one of them is an immortal violent lunatic with the strength and speed of a Vampire. Quite what possessed Vlad to bestow Vampirism on the insane Konrad, rather than simply cutting off his head, will never be known. Perhaps Konrad's complete lack of scruples and his tenuous grasp on reality amused the first of the Vampire Counts. Whilst many Vampires use dark sorcery to summon minions, Konrad does not concern himself with such petty things, instead relying (albeit grudgingly) on Necromancers to raise him an army. Instead he preoccupies himself with butchering as many of his enemies as possible.

This pack contains Konrad von Carstein - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in two components, and is supplied with a 20mm Square Base.


Vampire Lord



Vampires are incredibly powerful Undead creatures. Unlike most of the Undead, Vampires retain all of their intelligence and will, and hence all of their ambition and desire. This makes them very dangerous indeed, for they can continue to grow and learn, spending eternity perfecting their skills and honing their plans and schemes.

This pack contains one Vampire Lord - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in three components and is supplied with a 20mm square base.


Krell, Lord of Undeath



Krell was a mighty Chaos Champion in the days before the birth of Sigmar, the ruler of a barbarian tribe that had been corrupted by the Chaos God Khorne. Though eventually slain by the Dwarf hero Grimbul Ironhelm during his assault on Karak Kadrin, Krell was returned to the mortal realm almost 1500 years later at the mercy of the great Necromancer, Nagash (though much deader than when he left it). Krell was finally defeated by Sigmar many years later and the resurrected (again) by Heinrich Kemmler, the Lichemaster. Armed with the Black Axe - a terrifying weapon of immense proportions, Krell will cut a bloody swathe through all in his path.



This pack contains Krell, Lord of Undeath - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in three components and is supplied with a 20mm square base.


Heinrich Kemmler



Heinrich Kemmler was once a great and much feared Necromancer, until ambitious rivals began to usurp his power. They nearly drove the Lichemaster to his death, and although he managed to defeat his attackers, his body was broken, and his mind blasted by the battle. He wandered the Border Princes for years, little more than a half sane beggar, until a quirk of fate brought him to the tomb of the Warrior Lord Krell. Striking a pact with the Gods of Chaos (or so he thought), Heinrich Kemmler's power returned. Allied with Krell, this despicable Necromancer has plagued the world of the living for years, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.



This pack contains one Heinrich Kemmler - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in one component and is supplied with a 20mm square base.


Tomb Banshee



Many sorceresses, enchantresses and witches have plagued the Warhammer world over the centuries. The most bitter, restless spirits of these evil-hearted women become Tomb Banshees. They constantly howl in remembrance of the pleasures of life that were theirs, and in bitterness for the peace of the grave that they cannot attain. This wail can be lethal to mortals, who often break and run in terror (if they're lucky), or simply die outright, their hearts imploding within their chests when they hear the Banshee's lament. Much like Cairn Wraiths, a Tomb Banshee is impervious to mortal weapons, simply stepping through swords, spears and shields to get to grips with the souls of the living.



This plastic kit contains one Vampire Counts Tomb Banshee - a finely detailed miniature that comes in six components including a fully detailed 20mm square base.


Necromancer



Necromancers are widely regarded as twisted and corrupt individuals who are obsessed with death and the avoidance of it at all costs. They are used (for they are rarely their own master) by Vampires to animate the broken corpses of their servants and return them to battle. To learn such dark magic, these desperate men will seek out a Necromancer or a Vampire to teach them, though this task is not without its own dangers and many aspirants have found themselves dying a grim death at the hands (or fangs) of their would-be tutor. Those that do survive invariably become powerful spell-casters, though their sanity is forever broken by the horrors they have witnessed.



This plastic kit contains one Vampire Counts Necromancer - a finely detailed kit that comes in six components including a fully detailed 20mm square base.


Cairn Wraith



Cairn Wraiths are amongst the most powerful of the Undead. Though they lack physical form, their touch drains the life of a mortal. Their very presence fills the air with dread, and most who face them are driven mad with fear long before they are killed. Filled with rage, these vengeful spirits fall upon their enemies, tearing them apart with great sweeps of their ancient, magical scythes. In return, those who do stand against them find their pitiful attacks merely pass straight through the Cairn Wraith, making contact with nothing but foul air and tattered robes. It doesn't take long for the Wraiths to punish them for their insolence.



This plastic kit contains one Vampire Counts Cairn Wraith - a finely detailed miniature that comes in eight components (including three variant heads), with a fully detailed 20mm square base.


Wight King



In ancient times, mighty warlords fought across the land that is known as the Empire. Upon their death, these brutal warriors were buried deep beneath the ground, their tombs protected from thieves and looters by shamanistic spells. Many of these tombs are now long gone; but many others still remain. Some were built in areas where Dark Magic flows and pools. In these accursed places, the incumbents rest uneasily, their souls flickering between the world of mortals and the realm of the afterlife. When the Dark Magic grows strong, the ancient warlords rise from their crypts as Wight Kings, eyes glowing with unnatural life. The merest touch of their blade can drain the life from their foes, or slice through flesh and bone with effortless ease. Clad in heavy armour, their bodies are virtually invulnerable to damage, making them a popular hero to lead Skeleton Warriors or Grave Guard into battle.



This plastic kit contains one Vampire Counts Wight King - a finely detailed kit that comes in six components including a fully detailed 20mm square base.

Mounted Vampire Lord



Vampires are incredibly powerful Undead creatures. Unlike most of the Undead, Vampires retain all of their intelligence and will, and hence all of their ambition and desire. This makes them very dangerous indeed, for they can continue to grow and learn, spending eternity perfecting their skills and honing their plans and schemes. Amongst the most war-like of the Vampire Counts are the Blood Dragons - a family line that puts great stock in martial power and pride. As such, they will often ride into battle at the head of a phalanx of armoured knights, where they will smash their foes apart in brutal (and very gory) close combat.

This pack contains one Mounted Vampire Lord - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in four components and is supplied with a 25x50mm cavalry base.


Winged Vampire Lord



Vampires are incredibly powerful Undead creatures. Unlike most of the Undead, Vampires retain all of their intelligence and will, and hence all of their ambition and desire. This makes them very dangerous indeed, for they can continue to grow and learn, spending eternity perfecting their skills and honing their plans and schemes.

This pack contains one Winged Vampire Lord - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in six components and is supplied with a 20mm square base.


Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon



It is to the Plain of Bones that a Vampire will travel to claim an Undead Zombie Dragon as his mount, raising its ruined carcass from the desert sand on a pillar of Dark Magic to do his bidding.

The Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon model is a large model that will have a dominating presence in any collection. The Zombie Dragon is an enormous skeletal beast, with ragged wings that stretch out between exposed bones, each of which possess thick muscle fibres. Its large, demonic skull features prominent teeth and a long tongue. A Vampire Lord sits atop the beast, bedecked with armour, chains, a shield and a lance. The kit comes with plenty of optional extras, including two different riders - the Vampire Lord, who comes with a huge variety of different weapons, and the rather more bestial Ghoul King.

This multi-part plastic kit contains 85 components, a 100x150mm monster base and a 20mm square base with which to build one Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon or one Ghoul King on Terrorgheist.


Ghoul King on Terrorgheist



In the hidden reaches of Sylvania, bats the size of Dragons soar out from their caves to hunt horses and pegasi. It is the ambush tactic of the creatures that give them their terrifying reputation.

The Terrorgheist model is an enormous skeletal beast that will have a dominating presence in any collection. Crouching atop a rocky base, its ragged wings stretch out between exposed bones possesses the appearance of thick muscle fibres. It’s large, daemonic skull feature prominent teeth and a long tongue, and a Ghoul King stands atop with his wiry arms extended outwards, as if to pounce. The kit comes with plenty of optional extras, including two different riders - the rather bestial Ghoul King or an armoured Vampire Lord, who comes with a huge variety of different weapons.

This multi-part plastic kit contains 85 components, a 100x150mm monster base and a 20mm square base with which to build one Ghoul King on Terrorgheist or one Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon.


Mounted Wight King



In ancient times, mighty warlords fought across the land that is known as the Empire. Upon their death, these brutal warriors were buried deep beneath the ground, their tombs protected from thieves and looters by shamanistic spells. Many of these tombs are now long gone; but many others still remain. Some were built in areas where Dark Magic flows and pools. In these accursed places, the incumbents rest uneasily, their souls flickering between the world of mortals and the realm of the afterlife. When the Dark Magic grows strong, the ancient warlords rise from their crypts as Wight Kings, eyes glowing with unnatural life. The merest touch of their blade can drain the life from their foes, or slice through flesh and bone with effortless ease. With such power at their fingertips, these Undead warriors will often ride to war on long-dead skeletal steeds, whose incorporeal bodies will carry them through walls and across fens without the slightest hindrance - all the better for getting them in to the thick of the fighting.



This pack contains one Vampire Counts Mounted Wight King - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in four components and is supplied with a 25x50mm cavalry base.


Morghast Archai



The Archai are Nagash’s elite guard and the greatest of the Morghast. Only Nagash’s closest lieutenants can command them and only the mightiest heroes of the mortal race have the power to defeat them.



This multi-part plastic kit can be assembled as two Morghast Archai. They are clad in ebon-wrought armour which channels the magic of the world into their accursed forms. Possessed with the might of demigods, they wield swords and glaives that blaze with the spirit energies of the slain, the souls trapped within driven to drag others to share their fate.



The full rules for using Morghast Archai in games of Warhammer are included in Warhammer: Nagash. They can also be found in the construction booklet that accompanies the miniatures.



This kit can also be assembled as Morghast Harbingers.
 

Morghast Harbingers



Once they were known as hammurai, the winged heralds of Ptra, God of light, who were sent to destroy the Great Necromancer. When they failed, Nagash took their ruined corpses and created a host of sentient vassals to lead his armies. Thus the Morghasts were born.



This multi-part plastic kit can be assembled as two Morghast Harbingers. Possessed with the might of demigods, they wield swords and glaives – fashioned long ago on Ptra’s solar forge – that blaze with the spirit energies of the slain, the souls trapped within driven to drag others to share their fate.



The full rules for using Morghast Harbingers in games of Warhammer are included in Warhammer: Nagash. They can also be found in the construction booklet that accompanies the miniatures.



This kit can also be assembled as Morghast Archai.


Spirit Hosts



Sylvania is rich in the spirits of the dead, for it has a long history of misery and suffering, and it is rife with polluting warpstone. On the field of battle, these vengeful apparitions cluster together into hosts that drift slowly towards their warm-blooded victims with a terrible inevitability. Even a cannonball strike will not damage a Spirit Host, for they exist only partially in this world. However, their twilight state does not render these spirits harmless. They can claw at a mortal’s flesh with long, taloned hands, stilling the victim’s beating heart with nothing more than a touch.


Crypt Ghouls



Crypt Ghouls are ugly, stooping creatures with only a vestigial sense of reason. Their skin is dark and filthy, their eyes bestial and insane, and their snarling lips reveal sharp-pointed teeth in their slavering mouths.



This multi-part plastic kit contains 10 Crypt Ghouls.


Dire Wolves



The land of Sylvania is plagued by giant wolves. The men of the Empire hunt these beasts mercilessly, but this is not always enough. The carcasses of these wolves are buried in great pits, but the cursed earth of Sylvania does not allow them to rest...



This boxed set contains 10 multi-part plastic Dire Wolves.


Skeleton Warriors



Clad in corroded armour, their lifeless hands gripping swords, spears and shields these undead warriors should form the bulk of your army. Large units of Skeletons standing rank upon rank, side by side are the defining feature of a Vampire army.



This boxed set contains 10 multi-part plastic Skeleton Warriors, and includes options for a Champion, Standard Bearer and Musician.


Bat Swarm



When the armies of the Vampire Counts march to war, the skies above them are obscured by multitudes of bats. As battle commences, hundreds of these animals descend on the enemy and attack, called by the will of a Vampire Lord. These are no ordinary bats, but bloodthirsty scavengers that descend in great swarms to attack enemy units and regiments, throwing them into disarray and panic. Though each bat presents little threat to an armoured warrior, when numbered in their hundreds they can tear the skin from a man and strip flesh from his bones in minutes.



This pack contains two Vampire Counts Bat Swarms - finely detailed resin cast miniatures that come in ten components and are supplied with two 40mm monster bases.


Black Coach



A Black Coach is a herald of famine, war and murder, the sight of which can drive a sane man to suicide and cause families to fall upon themselves in senseless killing. Legends say the driver of a Black Coach is a terrifying Wraith, and grisly, insubstantial steeds pull it. A Black Coach feeds on the souls of mortals, growing more powerful on the spirits of those slain nearby. Driven on by the undying will of the Vampire within, the Black Coach tramples enemies into the ground, and its mere presence can drain the blood from a man.



This box contains one Vampire Counts Black Coach - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in 26 components (including two plastic Skeleton Steeds in four components and four plastic wheels) and is supplied with two 25x50mm cavalry bases.

Fell Bats



In the benighted lands of Sylvania the skies harbour all manner of deadly creatures that prey upon villagers and travellers. These winged predators are known by locals as Fell Bats and they bear as much resemblance to ordinary bats as a maddened lion bears to a domestic cat. They are horrific predators as large as a man, with broad leathery wings strong enough to drag their victims into the air and teeth sharp enough to pierce flesh and shatter bone.



This pack contains three Vampire Counts Fell Bats - finely detailed resin cast miniatures that come in six components and are supplied with three 40mm monster bases, three small flying bases and four long flying stems.


Coven Throne



The monarchs of the night are often borne to war on gilded palanquins known as Coven Thrones. These bone-framed constructs are held aloft by the departed spirits of those slain by the Vampire and doomed to bear them into battle for eternity.

The Coven Throne is a huge model whose lower half is made up of ethereal madness. Ghostly, and occasionally armoured, tendrils stretch upward at an angle, at the head of which are skeletal riders on armoured horses. At the centre, it features the seductive Vampire and her handmaidens looming over a cauldron of blood. The kit is bedecked with a mind-boggling range of features, from lanterns to skeletons, to ghostly winds, decadent cushions and magical flames.

This enormous multi-part plastic kit contains 87 components and a 50x100mm chariot base with which to build one Vampire Counts Coven Throne or one Mortis Engine.

Mortis Engine



Once dead (properly dead), the remains of powerful Necromancers are enshrined within the Mortis Engine and borne to war by a host of spirits bound to the infernal device. Surrounded by wailing Banshees and pulled by Undead revenants, it is a terrifying sight to behold.



The Mortis Engine is a huge model that possesses a lower half of pure ethereal madness. Ghostly, and occasionally armoured, tendrils stretch upward at an angle, at the head of which are skeletal riders on armoured horses. At the centre of the model stands the sinister, cloaked Corpsemaster, who is surrounded by a swarm of howling Banshees. The kit is bedecked with a mind-boggling range of features, from lanterns to skeletons, to ghostly winds, decadent cushions and magical flames.



This enormous multi-part plastic kit contains 87 components and a 50x100mm chariot base with which to build one Mortis Engine or one Vampire Counts Coven Throne.

Blood Knights





The Blood Dragons were skilled and noble knights, proud to defend their lands and their people against any who would cause them harm. Many centuries later and they still roam the Old World, doomed to exist as Undead knights, their bodies kept alive by the curse of the vampire. Their once shining armour is now encrusted with the blood and gore of countless battles, their monstrous steeds ragged and ruined from years of warfare, yet held together by potent necromantic spells. The Blood Knights are nigh indestructible and their thirst for blood makes them ferocious and implacable. There are few tales to tell of their existence, for those who see them often die of fright, or worse, find themselves skewered on a wicked lance and hauled into the air before the fangs of the waiting Blood Knight.

Black Knights



Black Knights come from a time many centuries ago, when barbarian tribes roamed what is now the Empire. Upon their death they were buried with their most prized possessions - their blade, their armour, and their steed.



The Black Knights are suitable macabre additions to any Vampire Counts collection. Armed with lances, they carry battered and battle-worn shields and armour, which extends to their skeletal steeds, too, and which displays wing-like design motifs. The set has enough parts to build a full unit of five Black Knights, and this can include a Command group with a Standard Bearer, Musician and Hell Knight.



This multi-part plastic set contains 91 components and five 25x50mm cavalry bases to construct five Vampire Counts Black Knights or five Hexwraiths.


Hexwraiths



Hexwraiths are born in the very depths of the Underworld, their only goal to hunt down those who have cheated death. They share many similarities with Cairn Wraiths, and their scythe-like weapons are just as deadly (if not more-so).



The Hexwraiths are rather ethereal creatures, with ghostly flames emerging upon head and stirrup. They also carry vicious-looking scythes along with flaming censors fixed to chains. Within the kit there are five sets of scythe arms and alternative heads for constructing this unit, allowing for a degree of personalisation, making them a suitably ghoulish addition to your Vampire Counts collection.



This multi-part plastic set contains 91 components and five 25x50mm cavalry bases to construct five Vampire Counts Hexwraiths or five Vampire Counts Black Knights.


Corpse Cart



When Vlad unleashed the armies of Sylvania upon the Empire, between the trudging crowds of Zombies and the ranks of Skeletons could be seen the disgusting Corpse Carts. Driven by macabre, shrouded figures, these wagons are made of rotted wood, rusted metal and diseased flesh, heaped with writhing body parts.


Vargheists




Vargheists are the darkness in a Vampire's soul made manifest. They are towering winged humanoids, each several times the size of a man. Though the Vargheists were once noble Vampires, they have since devolved into ravening predators desperate for the taste of blood.

Vargheists feature hideous, wiry musculature and clawed feet, and they possess strange fang-filled faces, crests and enormous fibrous wings. The kit comes with a variety of heads (none of which are handsome), and six sets of arms - three clinging on to a variety of decayed body parts, and three with wings, giving you plenty of modelling options.

This multi-part plastic set contains 62 components and three 40mm monster bases with which to construct three Vampire Counts Vargheists or three Crypt Horrors.

Crypt Horrors



The malformed monstrosities known as Crypt Horrors are, thankfully, a rare sight, though in times of open war their shambling forms can often be seen marching alongside the armies of the Ghoul Kings.



Crypt Horrors feature hideous, wiry musculature and clawed feet. They display a number of boils, scars, with ruptured, tendon-exposed flesh along their spine, making quite the disturbing addition to your Vampire Counts collection. The kit comes with a variety of heads (none of which are handsome), and six sets of arms - three clinging on to a variety of decayed body parts, and three with wings.



This multi-part plastic set contains 62 components and three 40mm monster bases with which to construct three Crypt Horrors or three Vampire Counts Vargheists.


Grave Guard



Upon the walls of Drakenhof Castle and other Vampire haunted keeps of Sylvania patrol tireless warriors clad in ancient armour and wielding glowing blades. These dread sentries are the Grave Guard - Wights drawn from their ancient tombs to act as guardians for the Vampire rulers of Sylvania.



This boxed set contains 10 multi-part plastic Grave Guard, and includes options for a Champion, Standard Bearer and Musician.


Zombies



Zombies are corpses brought back from the dead by foul necromancy. Whilst slow and clumsy individualy, their necromantic overlords drive them into battle in their thousands, hoping to exaust the armies of the enemy.



This boxed set contains 20 multi-part plastic Zombies, including options for a Standard Bearer and Musician.

Varghulf




Within every Vampire lurks a predatory creature, driven to feed on blood time and again. There are a few Vampires who embrace their thirst, who allow the bestial hunter within to take over. These are the Varghulfs - blood-mad killers that exist only to feed. A Varghulf's main weapon is a wide mouth filled with dagger-like fangs capable of puncturing armour and crushing bone. They use their immense claws to strip flesh from bones, the better to suck at the marrow of their prey.

This boxed set contains one Vampire Counts Vargulf - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in five components, and is supplied with a 50mm Square Base.
