I will cover all aspects of the new boxed set including the sprues, modelling options, that is, the model variations that can be produced and I will include some close up pictures of the models themselves.
The army book itself will get a summary review to begin with. This will focus on army wide rules, an overview of unit strengths and weaknesses and a look at Vampiric magic and special character abilities.
This review will primarily be for those who have never used Vampire Counts before and are wandering whether they should pounce and get their fangs wet for the first time.
I do not have the previous version of the Vampire Counts rules so this will not be a direct comparison and rules update. From my perspective it will be a fresh look at a race I am new to in comparison with the other Warhammer Fantasy races (I own all of the other books).
Following my review I will be carrying out a unit by unit and character / magic items analysis in a similar way to previous posts on other armies.
If you're interested in exactly how good the new Vampires are and don't feel like trawling through dozens of forum threads then watch this space over the next few days.
It's time to clear all the garlic out of the kitchen :)
