 |  Vampire Counts - new figures sighted! not sure if i am allowed to do this. apologies if i have broken a rule about links to other forums, but don't have time to work out how to host pics myself. found the following on another forum that i rarely visit these days. thought it may be of interest to those of a nocturnal nature.

| the first couple of photos are of the new mounted 'generic' vampire count/lord. next up is one of the new plastic graveguard?! (yes, PLASTIC! grave guard!!!) the final one IIRC is the new 'bat form' vampire which is a bloodline power available to any vampire character... cheers!

| also, considering the release date of this book, one would assume that the Vampire Counts are arriving in March and April.

| Those look awesome, especially the Graveguard. I don't think the Mannfred model looks aristocratic enough. He looked almost like a Blood Dragon, the old Harkon model. The bat thing is weird. Could well be a Strigoi in bat form but I think it is a new giant bat model.

as far as i know, that is not the new mannfred model - simply the generic 'mounted vampire count/lord'... the new dire wolves will look more like undead versions of the current chaos hounds as well! cheers!

| That sucks. Does that mean Blood Dragons don't get +2 WS? I really don't like the sound of this.

for example, there are a number of powers that boost your vampire's combat abilities and make him into a truely devastating hand-to-hand fighter, but they're not restricted to "blood dragon's only" now! cheers!

| Still it would make more sense the other way round, more in fitting with the background.

 seriously, i think i'll have to really stop joining in with all the "what the hell was gav thinking?!" stuff...the bloodline powers for example; if anyone thinks the new layout of powers is crap after reading the book, they need a good full-frontal lobotamy! there are going to be a bucketload of bandwagon hoppers with this book! cheers!

Blog Entries: 5 | Personally, i'd like a more "Vampire: The Masquerade" feel to the Vampire Counts as the ability to create your own bloodline in WFB is akin to the ability to create a Chapter of Space Marines in 40k. My 2 cents.

| thats pretty much what is to come steve. no bloodlines, just generic vampires that you purchase skills/upgrades for to customise there is a bit more to it, but thats the jist

Blog Entries: 5 | Personally then, i am happy with it, though i wonder how this will affect Zacharius. his is based off of fluff, so he will probably just have specific upgrades.

| yeah, i think it is possible to make something like the old bloodlines, but you can be more diverse with it as well if you want to.

| you and i both, erus. VC has always caught my eye as a cool sounding fantasy army, in fact i've been planning for some months to start a VC army, but with the advent of the new vc book/models and apoc [dang it !] i have decided to stick to 40k for a little longer... haha
