... Along with the Mako Reactor, Boss Battle, J-e-n-o-v-a + the other jenova song from final fantasy 7.
Plus Lord Hypnos by In Flames.
 
Carl Orff - Carmina Burana - O Fortuna
Furious and passionate, slow and fast. Sleeping and raging. Suits the image of the Vampire of the old world in warhammer perfectly.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Toccata E Fuga (BWV 565)
This is of course cannot be ignored when speaking of vampires and music. Very gothic and macabre feeling through and through. This you should check out if you havent heard it already.

Both are classical music beacause I feel no other genre captures the essence or immortality of the vampires.

Edit; almost forgot one of the most obvious choices;

Ludwig van Beethoven - Mondscheinsonate (Op. 27)
Perfect, just perfect. This would be The Moonlight Sonata in english.

Cheers
 
While I'm playing with friends at home I actually play Nox Arcana; their music just breathes that vampyre atmosphere. Their cd Transylvania is the best for obvious reasons.

You can listen to some of their stuff here.

And for my Beastmen it's Finntroll. Almost any song will do, but mainly Födosagan, Aldhissla and Slaget Vid Blodsälv. Not that it means anything to non-Swedish speakers..

Hey! That's my Greenskins theme!

Ok, you can have those songs, as long as I get Trollhammaren, Jaktens Tid and Rivfader.

As for my Vampires, I think either Russian Classical music (e.g. Mussorgsky, Stravinsky) or Symphonic Metal (Epica, Within Temptation), depending on my mood. Or more Finntroll (Asfagelns Dod) if I'm fielding Yaga the Crone (apparently Baba Yaga's chicken-legged hut was inspired by Finno-Ugric stilt dwellings in the north. See link!)
 
Not sure about my Vampires..

But for my army, there would be a couple of themes..

The Killers - Bones

and

Horrorpops - Walk Like A Zombie

And nothing wrong with Anne Rice, nothing at all, maybe just some of those big words just scared some of you.. :P Louis's struggle to accept what he was, fighting against it or trying to, before eventually giving way to complete and utter coldness and indifference after the last shred of his humanity went with the death of his 'daughter', Claudia, was compelling reading, and still is. Oh what? When Vamps die and are then reborn into unlife, they lose and forget everything of what they once were when they were alive and human? How boring a concept...

Go on, I dare ya, call me emo... I'll just counter with 'dude/dudette, I'm at least ten years too old to be emo' :P
 
As I am planning on using some highly mobile flying vampires I will use Arch Enemy - I am legend/ Out for blood as the song when they fly around searching for the right preys

Anne Rice did not kill the bad guy image of the vampire.

See, Bram Stoker once wrote a quite populair novel about a vampire. This vampire was very strong and evil, but it became a victem of Hollywood.

Although the first one, Nosferatu, is one of the best vampire movies, most of the other ones had too much passion. Often our best vampire was nog truely evil, but forced to do so. Or he fell in love with a mortal, leading to his ultimate death, or the worst of all: they refused to kill mortals or drink blood.

The idea that most vampires were mere undying beast was fastly replaced with the idea that vampires were just like humans, only with some supernatural skills. This made them often superhero's, instead of the mosters they should be.

Anne Rice continued this hype, but to a whole new level. Louis, and in the sequel Lestat too, became mortal humans trapped in a vampire body. Only the little girl embraced here curse, but she too fell, because she loved. Although this view is not as people of old saw the vampires, the book themself are great masterworks.

The movies are not really that good, but for that I can't blame the director, the book is just simply too big and detailed.

From the Warhammer vampires the Strigoi is historical most correct (except for it's name!!), followed by the Lahmians.

Oh, and to stay on topic:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmxZnrOOgoE

Just imagine a female vampire slahing throught mortal fronts, unnatural speed, killing all that breaths, fountains of blood, no hope, no mercy
 
Strigoi is a vampire-race in Romania/Hungary. However, for some of those people it is the only vampire they know and therfore people often think that Strigoi is the general name for vampires.

The Romanian strigoi is a humanlike vampire with two hearts and red hair. A lot less beast than the Warhammer Vampire.

fear of the dark iron maiden
Halfings are watery and bland,dwarves thicker to the point of being flat and stagnant.One does not drink such things unless one absolutley has to.Elves are like well aged claret-rich but often overly sweet,a treat best reserved for special occasions or as a dessert. Personally, I prefer a kislevite-of Gospodar descent if possible- but they are a little strong to serve at a dinner party"
-Lady Ariette Von Carstein
 
Children of Bodom - Hate me

lyrics for hate me said:
I was born in ashes of molten hatred
Raised by demons in abodes of the dead
The Reaper's scythe I fall upon to light my path
Wrecked by mangled wounds of life
I have become become the resurrection of the Evil one
'Y know that I don't fucking care if I live or die

I need a bishop preaching fire to get away with my sins
I despise everything I see so I don't give a fuck if ya hate me

Ain't got respect for humanity
Never lived or wanted immortality
The Reaper's shadow I fall upon to obscure my path
Every day I'm being battered up until I bleed
You motherfuckers just leave me be
Ya could never give me cure for the pain I feel inside

Led by the Reaper I walk in the night
Show me the way to your kingdom come

I believe in Armageddon, I've been baptised in alcohol
I'm embodiment of Antichrist
I'm living for my own demise
 
If I'm gonna start up Vampires, this would be some of my inspiration:

Personally I find some of the older Cradle of Filth albums very inspiring.
Especially the albums "Cruelty and the Beast" and "Dusk...and her Embrace".

Both very atmospheric albums which both breath the Vampire Counts feeling.
 
My theme song would be..Für Elise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQTTFUtMSvQ
Its not my favourite kind of music, yet I can enjoy it allot.
Its the art if killing in utter peacefull state..as if my vampire(Especially crazed Konrad) has his mind elsewhere, not hearing any rumours nor noise from the field of battle, not even when he opens up the troaths of the foes before him..to the likes of him, it is heaven.
