I don’t want to say it but I can see us getting luminethed, no endless spells or terrain, no mounted vampire lord to lead the nice new blood knights, grave guard kit sticking round when they look weaker than the new skegs? Soulblight Gravelords book 2 and second wave late October/November. no evidence just gut feeling.

I’m more concerned with the actual warscrolls now; if blood knights have lovely new models but are still a bit meh, what’s the point? Same with vampire lords and Neferata and Manfred. They all need some love warscroll wise.

Yeah I’ve been zooming in and still don’t know!

Yeah a lot of it seems like it’s just been dumped into the battletome because cursed city went the way of the dodo.

I kind of hoped that that model was just some kitbash thing. Not what I want from a vampire really. Dire wolves were nice to see, hopefully warscrolls all get updated with the exception possibly of Vhordrai as he’s the only one currently that feels like he hits as hard as a vampire lord should. No Abhorash either which I didn’t really find surprising other than they went out of their way to allude to him in the blood knights article.

And the little flag thing is vampire to be sure. Full range reveal and Abhorash ****** it!

Abhorash will walk amongst us!!!! Its time to turbo charge the hype train!!!

So not giving up Abhorash/unique Vhordrai model just yet!

Hopefully it's a proper mount and not some mid transformation thing going on, that doesn't float my boat too much, Hated that old vampire with the one wing and one normal arm, just looked really weird. Hype train is firmly on though!

Thanks, squinted harder and made it out. Will be good to see a clearer pic, shame it's not Abhorash. Salty tears.

Where has the name come from? I couldn't see anything in the article, can't it just be Abhorash?!

Agree, dire wolves and the differing types of bats, mounted vampire lord seems like a no brainer but stranger things have happened. Endless spells and a terrain piece are a given you would have thought. Flying vampires I'm not so sure on as we do still have Vargheists, so I'm a little less optimistic on that front and whether or not the naked vampires from cursed city port over could also hurt the chances. Big new centerpiece model be it Vhordrai or Abhorash (or something else entirely) you have to believe we're getting one. It does seem like all nighhaunt (Went all in and have a sizeable nighthaunt army but just don't find them enjoyable to play.), stuff will be removed which would suck a bit as I hate playing nighhaunt but like spirit hosts and hexwraiths. Hopefully the book is fluffy, fun and makes various builds viable but nothing op. I don't want SBG to be on par with Lumineth, I just want it to not be an absolute train wreck.

I'm trying to maintain the hype! Although I do have to be slightly negative about the assembly of Prince Duvalle from crimson court, one of the worst push fit models I've out together! Much rather go wild with glue than push fit although that may just be me...

Just remember whatever happens (bar the apocalypse), we ARE getting plastic Blood Knights!

Do what all vampires do and chill until the witching hour.

Unless we’re going to be broken beyond belief too 😂

If charge reactions becomes a thing we may as well go back to square bases rnf and call it warhammer fantasy battles 9th edition! Dont misunderstand me; I like oldhammer, however I’ve also fully ported over to age of Sigmar and bar some minor gripes (as you have with any game) I like it. What do you mean by generic battalions? That sounds really dodgy...

Our expectations are quite low given the absolute kicking Death received in BR: Teclis 😂 It also opens up so many questions and avenues from a lore perspective; it's excitement coupled with dread for me. See what happens.

I am kind of coming round to that way of thinking, I'd love to see Abhorash and don't see why we shouldn't, given the glut of Old World Characters that have come back. Vhordrai is AoS only and with a bit more attention lore wise to make him a bigger/more active player I could stomach no Abhorash... just.

Nice and fluffy, hits like a train, wouldn't mind 300+ points for those stats.

Maybe lances do as you say and swords do mortals. So long as they are what the article keeps baning on about: ELITE cavalry. God the hype train is unreal for me right now.

I thought Manfred’s survived? Theres also the slightly less interesting tidbit that Neferata hires Jelsen Darrick to kill some of Manfred's vampires. Although that is before the action kicks off. Broken realms Teclis was a very bitter pill for me; just got absolutely trounced by high elves.

Well they were arguably the hardest hitting cavalry in Oldhammer. Just been pants ever since AoS; although quite a few death units (looking at you vampire lords) have suffered with that really.

And Abhorash is alluded to although they've revised him killing the Dragon and Walach founding the Blood Knights into the same thing. Pumped for this.
