Vampire Counts

Special Rules

Banner of the Count

A game of Warhammer: the Old World is packed with fantastic creatures and skilled warriors with abilities so incredible and varied that the basic rules cannot possibly cover them all. For such circumstances we have special rules – uncommon rules to govern uncommon circumstances.

Weapons of War

Spectral Scythe (Cairn Wraith)

Across the grim and dangerous Old World and beyond, warriors employ many different types of weapons against a multitude of foes. From the well-wrought axes of the Dwarfs to the less-sophisticated choppas of the Orcs, every race has its favoured weapons. It is usual for all the models in a unit to carry the same weapons. It is acceptable for models belonging to the command group to be differently armed for the sake of identification.

Vampire Counts Legacy Army List

Building and painting a collection of models for Warhammer: the Old World is a satisfying experience and, it must be said, often a long term project. But as your collection grows, you will want to use it in games – to command your miniatures on the field of battle.

The Lores of Magic

Lore of Undeath

Wizards are a formidable force on the battlefield, able to wreak incredible destruction, weaken or strengthen other warriors, or summon terrible beasts to fight at their side. The rules for using Wizards and casting spells in your games have already been covered in detail in the Magic section. In the following sections, you will find the Lores of Magic – lists from which Wizards generate their spells. Each Lore of Magic represents a particular approach towards the study and use of magic, giving each a particular character reflected by the spells within it. Different Wizards have access to different Lores of Magic. Every Wizard's rules include the Lore(s) of Magic they know. In some cases, it will be stated that they know spells from a single, given Lore of Magic, whilst in others it will be stated that they know spells from one of a number of given Lores of Magic. Where this is the case, you must choose one of these Lores when writing your muster list.

Magic Items (and Abilities)

Vampiric Powers

The Warhammer world is rich in magical artefacts and holy relics of great power. Soul-drinking swords, impenetrable suits of armour, ancient tomes of sorcerous knowledge and lost rings of incalculable might – many a long war has been fought solely for the possession of such treasures and the power they bestow.
