Vampire Coast:

Army Special Rules:

Vampire Coast Undead: (All units with this special rule have the Undead, Aquatic and Black Powder Rats special rules)

Undead:
All units with the Undead special rule are Unbreakable, Unstable and cause Fear. In addition, units with the Undead special rule cannot make march moves unless they are within 12” of the army General (or have the Vampire special rule), in which case they can march as usual. Lastly, when a unit with the Undead special rule is charged, it can only elect to hold.

The Generals of Undeath:
Every Vampire Counts army is animated and driven onwards by the sorcery of its General. Your army's General must be a Wizard. If he is able to choose a spell lore, he must use the Lore of the Vampires (see page 60).

Slain General:
If the General of a Vampire Counts army is destroyed, the magical animus binding his army together begins to dissipate, and the ranks of his warriors begin to crumble. However, the complete disintegration of the Undead horde can be halted if another Wizard is present to sustain the flow of Dark Magic. At the end of the phase in which the General is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units on the battlefield must take a Leadership test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the Leadership test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack. If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the General, there is one or more friendly Wizards on the table who know spells from the Lore of Vampires, no unit in the army needs to take this Leadership test - the Wizards' powers are sufficient to sustain the Undead for now.

Vampire Coast Battle Standards:
The ensorcelled battle standards of the Vampire Coast magnify the invisible forces that give the Undead strength. In addition to the normal rules for the army battle standard, units of Undead within 12” of their battle standard suffer one less Wound than they normally would due to the Unstable special rule or following the death of the army's General.

Aquatic:
Having risen from all manner of watery graves, all models in the army can move over marshes, rivers, lakes, or any other water features without penalty and will benefit from soft cover while in such terrain.

Black Powder Rats:
The pirates of the Vampire Coast carry a large assortment of black powder weapons, ranging from pistols to Great Cannon – not a normal sight in the retinues of more traditionally minded (and less clinically insane) Vampire Counts. Though Zombies are not normally known for their ability to shoot straight (or at all), Harkon long ago wove an enchantment that allows them to do just that. However, even the misused magics of the Slann have a hard time making soggy and waterlogged black powder weapons discharge with any reliability.

All black powder weapons that require a roll to hit will always hit on a roll of 6 no matter the firers Ballistic Skill and regardless of any modifiers. However, any rolls of 1 will result in the gun misfiring – resolve the hit against the firing unit instead of the target.

Detritus of the Deep:
The parts used to create many of the Vampire Coast’s animated constructs are usually hauled from the ocean floor with fraying spearfisher nets or otherwise wash up on the Lustrian shoreline in piles of stinking, salty matter. Although held together by tendrils of powerful vampiric magic such constructs are temperamental at best.
All units with the Detritus of the Deep special rule have an armour save of 5+, however they always suffer an additional wound as a result of the Unstable rule to represent their cobbled-together nature

Weapons of the Dead Seas:

• Sartosan Long Rifle: Range: 32”, Strength:4, Special Rules: Move or Fire, Armour Piercing, Sniper
• Vampire Coast Handgun: Range: 24”, Strength:4, Special Rules: Move or Fire, Armour Piercing

• Brace of Pistols: Range: 12”, Strength:4, Special Rules: Armour Piercing, Quick to Fire, Multiple Shots (2), Extra Attack
• Vampire Coast Hand Cannon: Range: 12”, Strength:5, Special Rules: Armour Piercing, Move or Fire, Slow to Fire
• Vampire Coast Bombs: Range: 12”, Strength:3, Special Rules: Black Powder Bombs*, Volley from the Back**
*On the roll of a 1 centre the small round template over the shooter. On a 2-5 the bomb explodes harmlessly in mid-air. On the roll of a 6 centre the small round template over the head of the targeted unit. Any model under the template suffers a strength 3 hit with the Armour Piercing special rule with the model under the hole suffering a strength 4 hit
**If Vampire Coast Bombers are themselves engaged in combat, models in base contact with the foe fight with hand weapons, but unengaged models can lob bombs into their own units melee provided they are not in base contact with an enemy model. All shots taken without a line of sight only ever hit on a natural 6 as per the black powder rule and may cause friendly casualties.

Special Rules: Vampire Coast Undead, Detritus of the Deep, Terror, Special Attacks, Vortex of Death, Magical Attacks, Large Target
Vortex of Death: A Necrofex Colossus is an abomination against the natural order of the world and a loadstone of the dark forces which sustain it and renew the countless cadavers that make up its body with their unholy power. This provides the following:
• Deathly Regeneration: Provides the Colossus with Regeneration (4+)
• Power Amplification: Any Wizard attempting to cast spells from either the Lore of Vampires or the Lore of the Deep within 12” of a Necrofex Colossus adds +1 to their casting roll
• Power Disruption: Any Wizard attempting to cast spells from the Lore of Light or the Lore of Life within 12” of the Necrofex Colossus subtracts -1 to their casting roll

Special Attacks: Instead of attacking normally, select one of the following methods of attack each turn for the Necrofex Colossus:
• Hack and Slash: The Necrofex Colossus makes D6+1 attacks against a single unit in base contact
• Impale: Select a single model in base contact, the model suffers a single attack with the Heroic Killing Blow special rule
• Screams of the Damned: Roll a D6+2 and add it to the Necrofex Colossus’ Leadership to the result. It’s opponent then rolls a D6 and adds the highest Leadership value in the target unit to the result. If the Necrofex Colossus’ score is higher the target unit suffers an equal number of wounds to how much its score was beaten by. Armour saves may not be taken against wounds caused by this attack. Unbreakable units and units that are Immune to Psychology are immune to this attack.

Upgrades:
- Scythes and Barbs: The dice rolled for a Necrofex Colossus’ Hack and Slash and Thunderstomp attacks may be rerolled
- Swivel Cannon: The Necrofex Colossus is armed with a massive tri-barrelled Swivel Cannon. The profile is as follows: Range: 36”, Strength:7, Special: Multiple Wounds (D3)

A Mortar is fired using the same rules as a Stone Thrower, but with the profile given above and the following differences:
• A Mortar uses a large round template
• If, when firing a Mortar, the artillery dice result is a misfire, roll a D6 and consult the Black Powder Misfire chart in the Warhammer Rulebook

Vampire Coast Carronade:
Carronade: M:- WS:- BS:- S:- T:7 W:3 I:- A:- LD:-
Zombie Crew: M:4 WS:2 BS:0 S:3 T:3 W:1 I:1 A:1 LD:2
Troop Type: War Machine
Special Rules: Vampire Coast Undead

Queen Bess:
Queen Bess: M:- WS:- BS:- S:- T:7 W:5 I:- A:- LD:-
Zombie Crew: M:4 WS:2 BS:0 S:3 T:3 W:1 I:1 A:1 LD:2
Troop Type: War Machine (Unique)
Special Rules: Vampire Coast Undead
Firing Bess: Queen Bess is an enormous cannon; in battle it fires exactly like a Stone Thrower with the profile shown below and using the large round template. Additionally, should Queen Bess misfire, all rolls on the Black Powder misfire chart are conducted at -1
Range: 12-72”, Strength:5(10), Special: Multiple Wounds (D6), Armour Piercing, Quake, Slow Reload
Quake: All models in a unit suffering casualties from Queen Bess in the previous turn must pass a test exactly as if they were moving through Dangerous Terrain if they wish to move (including charging, reforming, characters leaving the unit etc). War Machines are treated as Chariots in this respect.
Slow Reload: The shells of Queen Bess are huge, temperamental and cumbersome, making the weapon slow and dangerous to reload. After Queen Bess fires roll a D6, on a 3+ the model operates as normal, however if a 1-2 is rolled then the model may not fire in its next turn as the crew struggle to load the next shell. After a turn has elapsed Queen Bess may fire again as normal.

Arch Grand Commodore Luthor Harkon:
M:6 WS:8 BS:6 S:5 T:5 W:3 I:7 A:5 LD:10
Troop Type: Infantry (Special Character, Vampire Fleet Admiral)
Vampiric Powers: Aura of Dark Majesty
Special Rules:
Luthor Harkon must always be your armies General despite the fact that he is not a caster.

Magical Void. The catastrophic results of Luthor’s great experiment severed him from the Winds of Magic. As such, and unlike other Vampires, he has no magical abilities, beyond the power to control his Undead hordes. He does not generate Power Dice. However, Luthor’s unusual condition means that he emanates a peculiar anti-magic field. As a result, he has Magic Resistance (3) and generates four Dispel Dice

Split Personality. Luthor’s many personalities continually bicker and rage within the walls of his psyche, and his actions are guided by whichever of the many voices is currently dominant. If no single personality prevails, Harkon remains almost motionless as the battle in his mind rages. These periods of apparent calm can end in lucid moments or, more often, result in his more extreme characteristics coming to the fore.
At the start of each of the Vampire Coast player’s turns and whenever Luthor suffers a Wound, roll a D6 to determine which personality is in control.
D6 Result:
1-2 Brainlock. Luthor’s personalities fight among themselves, leaving him dazed and confused. He must pass a Leadership test or suffer from the rules for Stupidity (even though he would normally be Immune to Psychology) until a new result is generated from this table.
3 Mad. A completely unhinged character from the deepest depths of Luthor’s mind has surfaced and gained control of his actions. He suffers from the rules for Frenzy (even though he would normally be Immune to Psychology) until a new result is generated from this table.
4-5 Bad. Luthor’s “core” personality comes to the fore. Though thoroughly evil, Luthor’s primary personality is at least fairly rational. He may act normally until a new result is generated from this table.
6 Dangerous to Know. A steely, determined, and ruthless portion of Luthor’s soul has clawed its way into the light of day. He follows the rules for Hatred (even though he would normally be Immune to Psychology) until a new result is generated from this table.
When Luthor is badly wounded and the strain is too much for the dominant personality, a stronger facet of himself takes over and continues the fight. Thus, when he loses his last Wound, Luthor is able to ignore the wound on a 4+. If Luthor successfully ignores the wound immediately roll on the personality table rerolling if the result is the same as his current personality.

Magic Items:
Slann Gold: A precious Lizardmen trinket stolen from the Temple-City of Huatl
All Lizardmen fighting Luthor have Hatred (Luthor Harkon). As the device continually attempts to re-establish its connection to the winds of magic it inadvertently heals its bearer. As a result, Luthor Harkon has the Regeneration special rule

Harkon’s Hand Cannon: Range 18”, Strength 5, Multiple Shots (3), Armour Piercing

Count Noctilus, Admiral of the Dreadfleet:
M:6 WS:6 BS:6 S:5 T:5 W:3 I:7 A:5 LD:10

Special Rules: Vampire Coast Undead, Vampiric, The Hunger

Master of the Galleons Graveyard: Count Noctilus’ power is now one with the great vortex of the Galleon’s Graveyard. The raw power of the vortex has granted him prestigious necromantic abilities.

Lord of the Dreadfleet: As the master of the vast Dreadfleet, Count Noctilus has access to legions of exotic constructs and creatures.
An army containing Count Noctilus waives the 30% core requirement and 25% Special units cap of All Hands on Deck! (an army containing Count Noctilus may contain Special units totalling 50% of its total points cost)

Magic Items:
Captain Roth’s Moondial: An eldritch moondial imbued with unusual powers that allow its owner to pull of seemingly-impossible feats of negotiating the ocean currents. The dial was stolen from around the neck of Noctilus’ arch enemy Captain Jaego Roth
Captain Roth’s Moondial grants Noctilus a +2 to cast spells from the Lore of the Deep, additionally Noctilus always adds +D3 wounds to his total when determining how many wounds worth of models are resurrected by his spells.

Captain Drekla:
M:6 WS:6 BS:6 S:5 T:4 W:2 I:6 A:4 LD:8
Troop Type: Infantry (Special Character, Vampire)
Magic: Drekla is a Lv 1 Wizard who uses spells from the Lore of the Deep and the Lore of Vampires
Vampiric Powers: Red Fury
Special Rules: Vampire Coast Undead, The Hunger, Vampiric

The Right Hand of Harkon: If Captain Drekla is included in the same force as Luthor Harkon and is in the same unit as Harkon, whenever Luthor Harkon suffers a wound (before saves are rolled), on a 2+ the wound is intercepted and is reallocated to Captain Drekla. No more than one wound can be allocated per phase and never in a challenge.

Magic Items:
The Left Hook of Drekla: The Left Hook of Drekla counts as an additional hand weapon. In addition, attacks made with the Left hook of Drekla have the Killing Blow special rule.


The Lore of the Deep:

Lore Attribute: Dragged from the Depths:
Drowned sailors are easily bound, for they remember their last voyage and many of their worldly duties
Each time a spell from the Lore of the Deep is successfully cast, a friendly Vampire Coast Undead unit within 12” immediately regains D3+1 wounds worth of models.

The Drowned Dead: Cast on 9+
The Wizard calls upon the souls of those drowned at sea and before horrified eyes the dead rise from their slumber.
The Drowned Dead is a special type of spell with a range of 18" that brings a brand new unit of Zombie Pirate Deckhand Mob into play.

The caster can choose to summon 2D6+3 Zombie Pirate Gunnery Mob with handguns instead. If he does so, the casting value is increased to 12+. When placing this unit, it must be wholly within the spell's range and at least 1" away from all units, buildings and impassable terrain. It can be placed facing any direction, and in any legal formation, so long as the unit's front rank contains at least five models. This unit does not have any command models. Units summoned by this spell cannot be dispelled, and do not award victory points under any circumstances. Finally, if a summoned unit cannot be placed because there is not enough room, the unit does not enter play at all, though the spell's lore attribute may still apply.

Fog of the Damned: Cast on 11+
The Wizard summons forth a cloud of heavy, chocking fog; thick with the smell of death and decay that disorientates and terrifies his foes
Fog of the Damned is a hex with a range of 24”. The target suffers a -2 modifier to all To Hit rolls (both shooting and close combat) and to its Leadership until the start of the caster’s next Magic phase.

In addition, the target treats all terrain as Dangerous Terrain for the duration of the spell.

Denizens of the Deep: Cast on 10+
The caster whispers words of black magic so foul the air itself blackens and hisses. Lo and behold the foul spawn of the deep jerk in unholy animation and launch themselves at the wizards enemies.
Denizens of the Deep is an augment spell that targets a single unit within 12” that possesses the Detritus of the Deep special rule. The target unit immediately regains D3+1 wounds (this cannot take the unit above its starting size) and re-rolls failed To Hit rolls in close combat until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can choose to have this spell target all friendly units with Detritus of the Deep within 12". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 18+

Vangheist’s Revenge: Cast on 12+
Amidst the howling wind and rain the Wizard calls forth the spectre Vangheist from the Galleon’s Graveyard. Bound to the call, the Shadewraith materializes in a storm of cannon fire and spectral shot, devastating the wizards foes before melting away into incorporeal fog.
Vangheist’s Revenge is a Magical Missile with a range of 24” that causes D6 strength 6 hits. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of the spell to 48” and the number of hits to 2D6 in which case the casting value is increased to 18+

Invocation of the Dead Seas: Cast on 16+
The Wizard transcends his physical form, reaching out with questing tendrils of necromantic energy into the ocean depths. Foul hulks of matter crawl, slither and scuttle from the darkness heeding the Liche’s call.
Invocation of the Dead Seas is a special type of spell with a range of 18" that brings a brand new unit of Rotting Prometheans into play. Choose a point on the battlefield - that point need not lie in the caster's line of sight or forward arc. Next, roll D6+3. This is how many wounds worth of models comprise the new unit. The Caster can instead choose to cast a more powerful version of this spell and summon 2D6+3 wounds worth of Rotting Prometheans in which case the casting value is increased to 22+. When placing this unit, it must be wholly within the spell's range and at least 1" away from all units, buildings and impassable terrain. It can be placed facing any direction, and in any legal formation, so long as the unit's front rank contains at least 3 models. Units summoned by this spell can be dispelled but do not award victory points under any circumstances. Finally, if a summoned unit cannot be placed because there is not enough room, the unit does not enter play at all, though the spell's lore attribute may still apply.

Vampiric Powers:

Red Fury: 50 Points:
For each unsaved Wound that the Vampire causes in close combat, it can immediately make a further Attack. These additional Attacks do not benefit from Red Fury. An Attack that automatically kills an enemy counts as having done an amount of Wounds equal to the number of Wounds that model had remaining.

Legendary Buccaneer:75 Points
The Vampire is a legend of the high seas, his name renowned from Far Cathay to the shores of Lustria and has amassed a vast trove of artefacts and treasures

The Vampire always resurrects D6+1 wounds worth of infantry models and D3 wounds worth of monstrous infantry from the Dragged from the Deep lore attribute

Forbidden Lore: 25 points
To learn several paths of magical teaching is beyond most men, but time is of little concern to an undying scholar. The Vampire can generate his spells from any one of the lores in the Warhammer rulebook, except the Lore of Life.

Spine-Skinned: 25 Points
The Vampire’s time submerged in the briny depths has led to its skin sprouting bizarre urchin-like spines upon which it may impale its foes
The Vampire causes D3 impact hits when charging

Deadeye’d: 30 Points
The Vampires supernatural powers have manifested in the form of deadly accuracy. Able to fire a musket ball through a keyhole from one-hundred feet the Vampire is a foe to be feared. The character carries a Sartosan Long Rifle and may fire the weapon twice per turn (assuming they did not move) to represent their preternatural swiftness. Additionally, the character suffers no penalty for shooting at targets in cover

Spectral Form: 50 Points
The Vampire is Ethereal. However, it may not join non-Ethereal units, nor may it be mounted or take any magical items

Summon Vermin: 10 Points
The Vampire is able to call forth packs of feral, undead dogs and swarms of frenzied, stinking wharf rats to drown the foe in filth and fang.

Shell-Skinned: 20 Points
The Vampire has spent centuries amongst the putrid, rotten hulks of the deep and has developed hardened, chitinous skin as tough as steel.

Booty of the Vampire Coast:

Magic Weapons:

Trident of Triton: 50 Points
