No pirate warband I’d say.

But great model.
And in general the delay isn’t too bad, and still back on track by June.

4th warband looks like Savage Orruks

For sure now.

She looks uninteresting but in an interesting sort of way.

Armoured legs (and some scatted bits of armour elsewhere) with a completely unprotected torso is a look I'm not exactly fan of - witch hunters carry those stakes for a reason... As with the other vampire, armour is largely unadorned and even a bit crude looking (especially those big plates on the hips).

Another not too impressive vampire sculpt then. Not terrible, but don't love it either.
Very nice swords though.

It's a great model, but it's no Von Carstein. At this point I feel like I might have been sabotaging myself by expecting that to be the case.

So are we thinking the 20th Feb for release for Khagra?

Where is the gothic, all I get is bland.

Look better than the Chaos Warrior so far. Since they didn't have much space on the sprue they can't give the model living organism crazy hair like usual.

That vampire craps on the other one with the disney bats, very nice

Pretty much my thoughts too. Depending on what the rest of the warband is, I may actually pick this one up.

Crazy hair vampire is on normal base with GW earth texture.

I am really excited to learn more about the rest of the warband, and this warbands Mechanics and rules.

Also I have a buddy who would be stoked for a Savage Orruck warband.

I really like this vampire (and I really like the other one too, not that it’s related to Underworlds). Looking forward to seeing the rest on Saturday. I hope there’s only three, they should be strong, elite fighters.

Per Facebook post from GW, the warband is called "The Crimson Court". The vampire we had previewed goes by "Vellas von Faine".

She is a very "warhammer" vampire and I am a big fan!

Not ac+ording to their site.

But I wouldn’t have thought so anyway.
Bit generic.

That’s like copyrighting Space Marine, no one would try that..

Yes, I'm aware. I don't repost the Facebook stuff as it does not stay permanently available.

Me too - looking forward to finding out who is with her - living or dead or mixture.

She looks pretty cool, I am interested to see what the rest of the band includes on Saturday.

Bummer to see the schedule shifted back (though that was expected after not seeing Khagra’s band up for preorder this month). Double bummer that the Destruction Warband is Savage Orruks and not Spiderfang Grots.

I'm liking the new "Armored" look of these Vampire minis

I don't think it'll be a three man warband, there will be at least four models. They are not big enough to be a three man team, that's reserved for big bulky models, like Stormcast, Blightkings, and Orruck Brutes. Even if the fourth model is a swarm of bats, or a hound or something.

I know you’re aware, you literally said per Facebook.
I’m just posting the accompanying picture.

Also, what do you mean not available.
That picture I’ve posted won’t ever disappear now I’ve uploaded it either way?

Much happier with this Vamp!

Shame the release schedule has slipped, can't be helped though.

Cool looking model, cant wait to see what the rest of the Warband is. Anyone have any good ideas of what could be included? Seems like they dont have much in the way of Soulblight specific units that are not already included in the other Death bands.

Two vampires we know.

Then my thoughts were maybe 2-3 zombies/thralls.
Or at a push. A Vargheist or something.
Married couple, as it’s a fella I think the other, and then the crazy feral brother..

I hope for at least one 'thrall'


What I'd really like to see (but doubt) is a distinction between Death armies, and vampires get the 'preserved undead': stitched up corpses or peat bog corpses with more of a old world flavor than the anachronistic 'zombie.'
Basically splitting the difference between bronze age wights and Frankenstein monster's stitched up by Igor-like characters. Bones and skeletons are well covered, as are ghouls. The vampires should have basic models that are obviously dead but still 'meaty.'
