And since they are so reliant on frightening their foes away from the field, they can have a very hard time against foes that are either Immune to Psychology (which means they are not affected by the Fear or Terror trait that many vampire units have) or are Unbreakable (which means they will fight to the death). The vampires take extra damage against units who possess fire damage. Introduced in Total War: Warhammer, the Vampire Counts are playable in custom games, the Grand Campaign, and Mortal Empires. The Vampire Counts field no missile units unless they offer enough Blood Kisses to the Von Carstein bloodline. However, great care must be taken to protect the leaders of these armies as should they fall, so too does their army quickly crumble as the dark energies animating them dissipate and the undead minions return to their rest. And that is not even getting into how they can recruit incredibly powerful lords through the rituals known as The Blood Kiss. Many of their units fill their foes with terror and devastate their morale while being immune to morale damage themselves, causing enemy forces to panic and falter, and any losses taken are inconsequential as they can be easily replaced by raising their own dead against them. With their solid melee infantry, fast cavalry, powerful monstrous units and excellent flying units, the Vampire Counts are masters of aggressive attacks and bold maneuvers. Where once stood defiant enemy soldiers now stand twitching corpse-puppets devoid of any determination save to serve the morbid fiends that now command them. The Midnight Aristocracy are masters of Death Magic and Necromancy and those that fall before their might will soon rise again. Those that attempt to stem their relentless onslaught will soon learn that there are fates in this world that are worse than death. Legions of moldering soldiers wear down their enemies without fear or hesitation whilst colossal, contorted aberrations and bat-winged beasts crush all who dare stand in their way.Īll tremble before the unliving masters of Sylvania, for they are a blasphemy against nature and reason. In battle, they are a fearsome force to behold.

Their advance is heralded by encroaching mists no wind can displace, trees twisting and buckling as though in agony, and a gathering darkness of supernatural perpetuity.

The presence of the living dead is a corruption upon the face of the world and as they expand their holdings, the very land they occupy is transformed.
