Banner Of The Count
The ensorcelled Battle Standards of the Vampire Counts magnify the invisible forces that give the Undead strength.
A Vampire Thrall that has been upgraded to be your Battle Standard Bearer replaces the “Hold Your Ground” rule given in the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook with the version given below:
“Hold Your Ground”: Friendly units within the Battle Standard Bearer’s Command range may re-roll any failed Leadership test. In addition, friendly units within the Battle Standard Bearer’s Command range reduce the number of Wounds lost due to the Unstable special rule by D3.
Note that this is not cumulative with the Indomitable (X) special rule (see page 27). If a unit is affected by both, use the highest value.

All Wizards (friend or foe) may apply a +1 modifier to any Casting roll whilst within this model’s Command range. However, if any Wizard miscasts whilst within this model’s Command range, they must roll twice on the Miscast table and apply both results.

Bound Spirits
Snatched from Morr’s dark realm by the magic of a Necromancer, the tortured shades of the dead are bound to the will of the one that summoned them.
Unlike other swarms, this unit is not subject to the Undisciplined rule. In other words, this unit can use the Inspiring Presence rule of the army’s General and the Hold your Ground rule of a Battle Standard.

Cleaving Blow
With a swift and deadly strike, a skilled warrior can cleave through armour.
If a model with this special rule rolls a natural 6 when making a roll To Wound for an attack made in combat, it has struck a ‘Cleaving Blow’. Enemy models whose troop type is ‘regular infantry’, ‘heavy infantry’, ‘light cavalry’, ‘heavy cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’ are not permitted an armour or Regeneration save against a Cleaving Blow (Ward saves can be attempted as normal).
Note that if an attack wounds automatically, this special rule cannot be used.

Indomitable
Amongst the ranks of the Vampire Counts armies march creatures with an indomitable will to hang on to the last vestiges of life, no matter what.
A unit with this special rule reduces the number of wounds suffered due to the Unstable special rule by the number shown in brackets (shown here as ‘X’).
Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest value for the entire unit. For example, if a character with Indomitable (2) joins a unit with Indomitable (1), the whole unit uses the character’s Indomitable (2) special rule.

Invocation Of Nehek
The Necromancer intones the dread syllables handed down from Nagash himself, breathing unlife into the lifeless cadavers strewn across the battlefield.
During the Command sub-phase of their turn, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may attempt to resurrect the fallen (see page 28) by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, a single friendly unit that has the Necromantic Undead special rule and is within 12" of this character recovers a number of lost Wounds. However, magically repairing great Undead beasts is much harder than raising Zombies from the dirt. Therefore, how many Wounds are recovered depends upon the unit’s troop type and this character’s Level of Wizardry:
• If the unit’s troop type is ‘regular infantry’ or ‘heavy infantry’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry +D3.
• If the unit’s troop type is ‘swarms’, ‘light cavalry’ or ‘war beasts’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry +1.
• If the unit’s troop type is ‘monstrous infantry’, ‘heavy cavalry’, ‘monstrous cavalry’ or ‘light chariot’, it recovers a number of Wounds equal to this character’s Level of Wizardry.
• If the unit’s troop type is ‘heavy chariot’, ‘monstrous creature’, ‘behemoth’ or ‘war machine’, it recovers a single Wound.

Lore of Undeath
Mystery shrouds the study of Necromancy. To learn this dark art, an aspirant must find a willing tutor and become their apprentice, or acquire forbidden books rich in the secrets of undeath. It is this intrinsic mystery that drives Necromancers to become servants of the Vampire Counts, hoping to learn first-hand from the masters of undeath.
A Wizard with the ‘Lore of Undeath’ special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells listed below.

Martial Pride
Over time, the Blood Knights have become a macabre parody of the noble knights they once were, toying with their foes mercilessly in one-sided duels to the death.
Every model in a unit of Blood Knights can issue and accept challenges in the same manner as a character. However, a unit with this special rule cannot refuse a challenge – if a challenge is issued and a model belonging to this unit could accept it, a model belonging to the unit must accept it.

To do so, this unit must move (by flying) over the unit it wishes to attack during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Once this unit’s movement is complete, the enemy unit suffers a single Strength 4 hit, with no armour save permitted (Ward and Regeneration saves can be attempted as normal), and with the Flaming Attacks and Magical Attacks special rules, for each model in this unit that moved over it.

The Hunger
Consumed by the red thirst, a Strigoi Ghoul King will feed hungrily upon the hot blood of their foes, replenishing their own strength and vitality.
At the end of any Combat phase in which this character inflicted one or more unsaved wounds, roll a D6. On a roll of 6, this character recovers a single lost Wound. However, so great is this character’s hunger that, whenever they (and any unit they have joined) make a Pursuit roll, they roll only a single D6 (rather than the usual 2D6).

Wailing Dirge
The chilling howl of a restless spirit is an omen of death and despair, capable of crippling even the most resilient prey.
During the Shooting phase of its turn, unless it marched during the preceding Movement phase, a model with this special rule may make a ‘Wailing Dirge’ attack. A Wailing Dirge attack may target any enemy unit that is within 8" of this model (including units that are engaged in combat) and that this model can draw a line of sight to, or that this model is engaged in combat with.
The target must make a Leadership test with a -2 modifier to its Leadership characteristic (to a minimum of 2). If this test is failed, the target suffers a number of wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the test, with no armour or Regeneration saves permitted (Ward saves can be attempted as normal).
Note that a Wailing Dirge attack can target an enemy character, regardless of the usual rules for targeting Lone characters

Arcane Familiar
Many Wizards are accompanied by familiars gifted with arcane knowledge. These creatures constantly whisper secrets to their master.
The owner of an Arcane Familiar knows spells from two Lores of Magic, rather than the usual one. When determining the spells the Wizard knows, you must roll for each Lore separately. Duplicate spells are re-rolled as normal. The Wizard may discard one randomly generated spell as normal, replacing it with the signature spell of the same Lore of Magic.
