BLOODLINES
When selecting your army, choose a Bloodline. All Vampires in an
army belong to the same Bloodline. The following special rules apply
to all Vampires of the same Bloodline, as explained below. These include
bonuses and penalties that cancel each other out and so they don't influence
the points value of the Vampires.
In the following pages you will find more powers that can be bought
for your Vampires. You cannot buy multiples of these powers for a single
Vampire, but different Vampires in the same army can have the same powers.
The points cost of these powers adds to the cost of the magic items
chosen for the Vampire and is limited by the maximum amount of points
the Vampire can spend on magic items (see the appropriate entry in the
army list).
VON
CARSTEIN
Von Carstein Vampires are the archetypal Vampires of the Old World.
Vampires' characteristics, and options in the army list are based on
them, so they don't get any additional special Bloodline rules.
NECRARCH
- +1 to the total rolled when trying to cast a spell.
- Thralls can use Arcane items.
- Cannot choose any mundane weapons or armour
- -2 to their Weapon Skill.
BLOOD
DRAGON
- +2 to their Weapon Skill.
- Lords and Counts automatically wear full plate armour (4+ armour save)
and can cast spells whilst wearing armour, but they generate one less
Power dice than their Magic level in their own Magic phase. They generate
Dispel dice as normal.
- The Blood Dragon with the highest Leadership in a
unit always issue challenges and must always accept enemy challenges
if possible.
STRIGOI
- Lords and Counts have +1 Attack, are affected by Hatred (even
being Immune to Psychology) and have a 5+ Ward save due to their great
resilience.
- Thralls have +1 Attack, are affected by Hatred (even being Immune
to Psychology) and have a 6+ Ward save due to their great resilience.
- Cannot choose any mundane weapons or armour.
- Cannot use any magic item.
- Always fight on foot.
- Thralls cannot be given the Battle Standard.
LAHMIA
- +2 to their Initiative.
- All models in base contact with one or more Lahmia Vampires suffer
a -1 to their Leadership. Work out which Ld value the model would use
(its own, the General's, etc) jand reduce that number by -1.
- Cannot choose any mundane weapons or armour.
- -1 to their Weapon Skill.
