UNDEADS - VAMPIRE
UNDEADS - VAMPIRE
By Tommy Punk
Many believe that the vampiric curse has been wiped out among the nobles in the
Empire and that only Sylvania still holds Vampires. This is far from the truth as many
lesser Vampires have spent centuries sleeping in coffins in the basements of a
merchant or craftsman. There exists a Dark Brotherhood that guards the Vampires in
their sleep and who waits for the time to awaken their masters. In Mordheim that time
have come and the streets are once again stalked by the Vampires in search of fresh
warm blood.
Vampires appear human and living although the curse of undeath runs in their veins,
they are indeed dead and need to sustain themselves on the warm blood of living
beings. It is speculated that they draw the lifeforce from their victims in order to
sustain their own dying lifeforce. If a Vampire is prohibited from feeding he will lapse
into a state of death, although being fed warm blood can revive him. Despite the tales
of handsome Vampires seducing princesses and daughters of burgomeisters a
Vampires diet consists mainly of peasants. The feeding practises are as diverse as the
number of Vampires. Some prefer to drink the blood in a glass, like vine, and some
prefer the hunt and the smell of fear as they sink their fangs into the neck of their
screaming victim. Some, notably weak Vampires, prey on sleeping children, and after
all who will believe the endless stories of monsters in the night?
The sun is the source of life and allows the crops to grow but to the Vampire the sun is
death and will burn him to ashes. Although a Vampire can wear an enclosing cloak and
move around in the twilight he must sleep in darkness during the day. This resembles
the sleep of humans but is much deeper, many Vampires have fallen to the stake of a
Vampire hunter during the day when they are unable to move or defend themselves.
The Vampire therefore makes use of guards, both living and dead. The Vampires do
not rely on humans or the dead alone to protect them. Large hellhounds make excellent
sentries and their bark will warn off the peasant guards as well. The hounds are larger
than a normal canine with dark or reddish-brown fur and giant teeth. In the dark their
eyes glow softly of red or yellow.
Ghouls are naturally attracted to the presence of Vampires, they are descendants from
degenerated cannibals. Their skin is dark and filthy, their eyes bestial and insane and
their snarling lips reveal sharp-pointed teeth and slavering mouths. Many carry bones
that they use as clubs but with their long claws and sharp teeth they don't really need
any weapons. The Ghouls and the Vampire get along well, the Vampire drain a human
of the blood and let the Ghouls feed on the flesh.

VAMPIRE SPECIAL SKILLS
Note that only Vampires can pick from this list and no henchmen can choose this skill
list as they advance to become heroes.
Transfixing Glare:
The Vampire is able to hypnotize a victim using his glowing red
eyes, the victim will remain passive and waiting for the Vampire to close. The Glare
may be used on any living model in base contact that is not Immune to Pshychology,
the victim must pass a Leadership test on 2D6 or be transfixed. A transfixed model
may not attack in close combat and is treated as being knocked down for purpose of
being attacked. Roll for the Glare at the start of the combat phase.
Mist form:
Vampires hold many powers over nature and they can transform into a thin
mist in the recovery phase. While in this state the Vampire have a move of 2D6" per
turn. He may not attack in close combat, shoot with a missile weapon or cast spells and
he gain no protection from armour. All to hit rolls against the Vampire need a natural 6
to hit and all to wound rolls need a natural 6, note that this may not be changed by any
bonuses its to represent the protection of a nonphysichal form. The Vampire reduce the
injury roll by -2, if the vampire is knocked down he takes physical form. The Vampire
may change back to Vampire form in any subsequent recovery phase.
Ratswarm form:
Vampires hold many powers over nature and they can transform into
animals such as a wolf, a swarm of rats or a giant bat. A Vampire can change form in
the recovery phase regardless if the Vampire is knocked down or Stunned but he suffer
all penalties for EG standing up. The Vampire may change back to Vampire form at
the start of any subesquent recovery phase.

While in Ratswarm form the Vampire may not use weapons and do not receive any

should be represented by a Ratswarm base but treat the Vampire as being the size of a
single rat for moving thrugh alleys or similiar small spaces. The Vampire may move
through small holes and gaps that would allow a single rat to pass through, he can thus
move through walls if the wall have a small hole in it.

HENCHMEN
These are additions to the Vampire warbands list, the warband can become quite
powerful with living henchmen that can use weapons but I missed the Dark Brothers in
the original list. They have a high cost at 25 gc to balance this fact.

DARK BROTHERS
..................25 gold crowns
There exists a Dark Brotherhood that guards the Vampires in their sleep and who waits
for the time to awaken their masters. Not all the servants of a Vampire have been
scared into service, no matter how vile the bloodcurse is there are always ruthless
people wishing to be embraced. They flock to a Vampires court and will fight for him
to try and distinquish themselves enough for the mighty being to grant them the dark
embrace. They will carry out any command from their master, and many of them hold
high positions in the Guild of Merchants or in a cities administration, many lesser
Vampires have spent centuries sleeping in coffins in the basements of a rich merchant
families or burgomeisters.
