Oh dear, looks like they're still using the old Spirit Host models. Apart from that the picture of the whole army looks superb!
The Dire Wolf painting guide shows just how good the new models can look with the right paint job (the grey one, top right).
The Blood Knights still look pants imo.

I'm wondering if these dire wolves looked nicer if mixed with the old dire wolves and maybe some "goblin" wolves too. They look quite decomposed, but maybe it would look better if one or two in a unit did look more decayed while others less? Add some nice painting to it, mix some parts, and it could look better than a unit of the new direwolves only...IMO the new models of dire wolves alone look somehow odd.

yesterday i came accross the guy who wrote the rules for the new vampires and he gave me this in addition to some other little pieces of information.
firstly.
The Lore of the vampires
1 - raise dead 5+
2 - Vanhels danse macabre - 7+
3 - gaze of negash - 8+
4 - curse of years - 8+
5 - wind of undeath - 11+
6 - Raise legion - 12+
Raise dead. - 5+
raises D3+4 Zombies to any point within 12" of the caster, and not in combat.
Vanhels danse macabre. - 7+
unit may move 8", benefits from ASF and re-rolls all failed hits.
Gaze of negash. - 8+
Range 24" causes 2D6 str 4.
Curse of years. - 8+
remains in play, causes a wound on every model in the unit on a 6+ (roll for each) and every magic phase it lowers (5+ - 4+ and so on). (and no armour saves)
Wind of undeath. - 11+
All enemy units with 12" take a single woud on a 4+ (no armour savws)a spirit host swarm is crated with wounds equal to the number of wounds caused.
Raise legion. - 12+
Creates 5D6 zombies like raise dead spell.
OR
restores 3D6 wounds across any units in the army and it can be split down (2 wounds on skellies and two on the black coach for example)
In addition
Rare choices are
Black coach
Blood knights
The vargulf
Wraiths - skirmishing unit of 3 -10 terror cusing great weapon weilding etheral creatures with 3 attacks each at only 50 points each and with 2 wounds each with a banshee champion for only 25 points.
more to follow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raise dead at 5+ seems terribly expensive.
If Vanhels dance gives these things all at once its too good.
Wings of death seems very weak if it affects units only within 12''. (note that in the GW preview it seems to be 12+ instead 11+)
Wraiths seem to be pretty good.

I am kinda worried :grin:.
Wouldn't it suck to have Invocation of nehek at 5+? I mean raise dead/zombies is at 5+. ;/

Just looked at the VC preview on the GW site. Getting kinda exciting. Looks like the blurb on the corpse cart means it can be upgraded in a few ways, including messing with enemy magic. Nice.
We better still get that 0 spell or else vampire counts will not be a very undead horde army...
A couple of the spells are looking a touch overpowered for the cost (VDM), and from the narrative the raise Legion will bring back lost bases etc. A high cost spell, but when it goes off....
that would be more realistic cost wise. Down side is that you cannot cast both with one vampire (as currently with VDM and HV) 
yea, it's an okay spell, though i still think raise dead is a little overpriced seeing as you can only summon more zombies, because you only "heal" other undead...
I will miss our currant Invo, i hope the other spells like wind will make up for it. (Lets get this up to 100 pages !)
well, I really wanna a summoning army... but I guess I won't get it...
still wondering, since there are bloodline powers that affect IoN (or so we think) where is IoN? I didn't see it in the spell list...
I WIN! FIRST POST ON PAGE 100!!!

Is it super mega awesome with extra toppings of OMGLOLZ!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven with Cheese and Beardy cheese on top?
Seriously though, I'm going to be ordering mine so it gets here Wednesday, I'm a bit annoyed as the only thing I'm actually missing is the points of each new unit and even that's simply a few blanks.

i know a couple of points, if i stretch back further in my mind i might be able to recal them all.
So act quick.

ok, as voltaire said we are missing the details
how true are the former rumors about wraiths?
do banshees affect immune to psycology thingys? do they need line of sight? range? stand and shoot?
invocation of nehek casting value?
I gotta go I'll ask more later

Ok 5 questions
First
Do vamps (old thralls) get to chose blood line powers and if so how many points, 50 for blood line 50 for items?
Second
vamps upgrade tto lvl2 ? Vamp counts to level 3 it is 35 pts in most books.
Third
What is the deal with weapons and armour? can they be taken without a blood line power? What about nonmagical items
Fourth
Can the 0 spellbe cast again and again by the same caster?
HOW DID YOU GET THE BOOK. I thought it wasnt comming out till the end of Febuary.

Are there any "kick in the nuts" special rules?
Oh, I don't know, something like zombies being Ws 1, or something similar... *crys because its probably true*
And what say you about the new special characters? Worth it? If you can't remember, thats fine. *polishes knife*
