Nightmare

The Vampire Counts are fiends without equal. They seek to topple the civilisations of the living and supplant them with an Undead empire. Each Vampire is a unique and majestic figure with his own personality, drive and ambition. In contrast, their minions are mindlessly obedient – rank after rank of ragged and dirt-encrusted cadavers forced back to life by their masters' necromantic power. A Vampire Counts army arrayed on the battlefield is a frightening sight. Amongst the endless ranks of maggotridden corpses and clacking, rust-clad Skeletons come hideous and misshapen predators. The skies fill with the rustle of a thousand leathery wings as giant bats whirl and screech. At the heart of this nightmare ride the Vampires themselves, moonlight gleaming from their fangs as they smile in the anticipation of the slaughter to come.

Vampire Counts

Nightmare (Support)

The Crimson Blade automatically Wounds on a 2+. In addition, to see what additional effect the attack has, compare the result of each To Wound dice rolled with the table below: 

Crimson Blade

Heavy armour. Walach's Bloody Hauberk gives him a Ward Save (5+).

Walach's Bloody Hauberk

At the beginning of each Vampire Counts turn, Walach can drink from the Blood Chalice allowing him to do one of the following: Heal 1 wound he suffered earlier in the battle. Walach gains an extra Attack. Walach coats his sword with blood, which bursts into flames. Walach may re-roll 1's To Hit and To Wound and gains the Flaming Attacks special rule. The last two effects last until the start of your next turn.

Blood Chalice

This is the army's Battle Standard, though Walach may still be the Army General. All Blood Dragon Vampires and Blood Knights within 12" gain the Hatred special rule.

Blood Dragon Standard

While fighting in a challenge, the model will gain +1 To Hit and To Wound.

Dread Knight

Model on Nightmare only. The model and any Cavalry unit it is with can re-roll failed charge distances.

Doomrider

The model can re-roll failed armour saves.

Cavalry

Split Profile Although a cavalry model has two sets of characteristics, one for the rider and one for the mount, it is treated in all respects as a single model – the rider cannot dismount. When moving, the cavalry model always uses the Movement characteristic of the mount, and never that of the rider. The rider and mount use their own Weapon Skill, Strength, Initiative and Attacks characteristics when they attack. Each can attack any opponent that the cavalry model is in base contact with. We assume the rider to be in complete control of their mount, so the mount's Leadership is never used, unless a spell or special rule states otherwise. If the rider has a missile weapon, they always use their own Ballistic Skill, rather than that of their mount. When attacking a Cavalry model, always use the highest Weapon Skill, Toughness and Wounds value from either the rider or the mount. If the rider and the mount both have armour saves or ward saves these may be combined as normal. Any equipment or magic items the model might otherwise have only apply to the rider, not the mount (unless specified). In some cases, you may find Cavalry models that do not have a split profile. In this case, treat the model as single entity that may make up to two supporting attacks. The model also counts as mounted for the purpose of using certain weapons, as described in the Weapons and Armour chapter, but counts as a model on foot for the purposes of using Parry. Ranks A unit of Cavalry is required to be five or more models wide in order to be able to gain rank bonus. Supporting Attacks A cavalry model can make one supporting attack from the rider, and one from the mount. Cavalry without a split profile can make up to two supporting attacks. Special Rules Cavalry are subject to the following special rules: Impact Hits (1), Swiftstride. Note that the Impact Hits are resolved at the Strength of the mount, not the rider. Any special rules listed for Cavalry units only apply to rider, unless they specifically mention the mount. There are, however, a few exceptions. If either the rider or the mount has one of the following special rules, then the whole model has it: Always Strikes Last Ambushers Berserk Rage (see Frenzy) Ethereal Fast Cavalry Fear Fly Immunity (*) Scouts Stubborn Stupidity Terror Vanguard  Terrain Cavalry have to take Dangerous Terrain tests if they move march, charge, flee or pursue over anything other than open ground or hills – Battlefield Terrain for more details.  Unit Strength Cavalry have a Unit Strength of 2. Line of Sight Cavalry have a Line of Sight value of 2. Base Size  Cavalry have an approved base size of 20x20mm, 25x25mm, 25x50mm, 40x40mm and 50x50mm.

Special Character

The Warhammer Army books each include the rules for several Special Characters within their pages. They are famous, named war leaders and mighty mages, tales of whose legendary (or nefarious) deeds have travelled far and wide, such as the Emperor Karl Franz, Grom the Paunch of Misty Mountain, the infamous Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein and many more besides. Special Characters are exceptional individuals but, more importantly for our army selection purposes, they are unique – each can be included in an army only once.
