Vampire Counts Rumours

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

Seeing as there is a model for Manfred the elder, will there be a new model for Manfred the younger? Or will we have to use the older ones?

 

[Cristov von Carstein]

Does anyone know wether there will be any new lord blisters for the different blood lines or do we have to use the smelly new ones.

 

[Mr Saturday]

The bloodlines are gone, so I think we can kiss new models for them goodbye.

The current model of Mannfred mounted is 'Mannfred the Younger'.

 

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

Right so. I was really looking forward to a new one...
But I'm still happy with that.

I might just build one from scratch...

 

[SHOGGOTH]

Well, I've found my vampire! Obviously he needs a more gothic colour scheme, but still!

Right here!

What do you think? I like the brooding look.

 

[Skaramak von Carstein]

A very nice mini. It will be interesting to see how it looks as a vampire.

 

[N.I.B]

What's the scale? Anyway, here's my future vampire lord (scroll down) http://warhammer.org.uk/PhP/viewtopic.php?t=25972&highlight=

 

[rabz98]

considering the fact that all the minis will be in boxes of 10, will it be the same for zombies?? because if it will be so then i need to buy a lot of boxes now...:'(

 

[Belladamma Voltaire]

Zombies remain as they are.

 

[Mr Saturday]

I think there's a plan to release boxes of 20 later on, like with the orc plastics.

 

[Belladamma Voltaire]

They are what if affectionately referred to as a 'splash release' for people like myself who want big units and they want them now!

I spoke to GW manager today and he seemed to believe there is a plastic lord kit on the way. I doubt it but you never know, lets hope

Thanks, but if you check my link you'll see that I have linked to that model myself...

 

[Skaramak von Carstein]

The reduced box sizes (10s & 5s for elites) is a pain, and seems a way to push up costs.

That said, whilst it does not tend to reflect the way I play, it does the GW approach.

 

[Belladamma Voltaire]

A plastic Lord? That WOULD be interesting if not annoying considering the amount of Vampiric models available as it is, converting them is not really an issue either...

 

[rabz98]

Zombies remain as they are.

whew!! that's good news... it's very unfair of them that they reduce the nuber of models in a box just to let us spend more money!! The boxes cost allready a lot of money...o_o

 

[Belladamma Voltaire]

Three new pictures of the VC...

The ghouls are growing on me and I love the Blood Knights!

 

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

So, they're only putting 10 zombies in a box? Thank deadness I already have far, far, far too many.
Any sneak peek at any stat lines yet? Or special rules?

 

[Richie]

Vampire counts now on advanced order and sneak rules previews.

though there is a bit of a typo for the current price of the Varghulf (yours for only £9999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:|)

 

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

Where? Where?
I need to see this!!!!!
I'd butcher every last one of you to get a sneak peek!!!!
Well, thats a bit much, maybe just give you a punch in the arm...

[Cristov von Carstein]

Oh ho ho, according to the GW website. Its Vlad on the ground and Mannfred on horse. Konrad is still the nutter with the swords.

Im still keeping my hopes up for a plastic boxes range for the vampires. Im pretty sure its not too hard to have a lahima, von C, blood dragon, necrach and strigoi boxes. You can just have one of them mounted and one with the standard like they always do.

... Wind of Death is still at 12+ difficulty and it doesn't look like it says Invocation of Nehek.

The army boxed set suddenly seems like a real steal...
