The few Strigoi are mostly found in the southern provinces. They are somehow drawn to the Badlands, towards Strigos of old. Karak Azgal lies close by in the Worlds Edge Mountains and many of the vampires have made a home in the darkness of the ruins. CHOICE OF WARRIORS A Strigoi warband must include a minimum of 3 models. You have 500 gold crowns, which you can use to recruit and equip your warband. The maximum number of warriors in the warband is 15. Vampire:
Each Strigoi warband must have one Vampire; no
more, no less! STARTING EXPERIENCE A Vampire
starts with 20 experience. STRIGOI SKILL TABLE
STRIGOI EQUIPMENT LISTS Undead Equipment List Hand-to-hand
Combat Weapons Missile Weapons
(Strigani only) Armour SPECIAL EQUIPMENT Corpse Liquor The Strigoi distil the liquor that seeps from rotting corpses. This liquor forms the basis for a potent poison, which they spread on their weapons and claws. A weapon or claw coated with Corpse Liquor will wound its target automatically if you roll a 6 to hit. Note that you can still roll a dice for every wound inflicted in this way. If you roll a 6, you will inflict a critical hit with that roll. If you do not roll 6, you will cause a normal wound. Take armour saves as normal. Each purchase of poison lasts one warrior for one battle. SPECIAL RULES Dead Leader: If the vampire is killed then he cannot be replaced. All undead creatures will crumble and will be lost along with their equipment. You can then select a new leader from amongst the heroes as described in the Mordheim rulebook. After one game a new vampire can be purchased. He will become the new leader and the 'acting leader' will return to his former position. HIRED SWORDS Although they are
normally secretive and avoid outside contact, the
Strigoi Vampire warband may hire the following
Hired Swords and Dramatis Personae in addition to
any which specifically mention them: HEROES 1 Vampire Strigoi Vampires are rare and mainly found in the southern provinces of the Empire, in Tilea and the Border Princes. They seem to be somehow attracted towards the Badlands, towards Strigos of old. They are desperate creatures, hunched grotesque monstrosities.
Weapons/Armour: A Strigoi Vampire does not use any weapons or equipment. SPECIAL RULES Leader: Any model in the warband within 6" of the Strigoi may use his Leadership instead of their own. Bestial: The vampire has an innate way of avoiding being hurt. He has a 6+ ward save against all attacks. Wizard: The Vampire is a wizard and so is able to use Necromantic magic. See the Magic section of the Mordheim rulebook for details. Bloodline: The vampire may take any of the Bloodline Abilities instead of searching for rare equipment. The costs shown are for the first ability only. The second and subsequent abilities will cost double. Each ability may be taken only once unless specified otherwise. 0-2 Charnel
Guard Ghouls are depraved souls who have been warped and twisted by the eating of human flesh. It is said that those who eat the flesh of heroes grow stronger and more intelligent than their insane brethren. They rise to positions of power in their bestial society. Those who fight against them know them as the feared Charnel Guard.
Weapons/Armour: Charnel Guard never carry any equipment, apart from a few bones which they use as primitive weapons. SPECIAL RULES Cause Fear: Charnel Guard are twisted and repulsive creatures and therefore cause fear. Cunning: Unlike ordinary ghouls a Charnel Guard can take the Weapons Training or Weapons Expert skills and learn to use any weapon. 0-2 Strigany Very few humans will associate with undead. Some of the inhabitants of the former land of Strigos still feel a loyalty towards their old rulers. Whether this is genuine or is magically induced doesn't matter. They will do their master's bidding without question.
Weapons/Armour: Strigany may be equipped with weapons and armour from the Strigoi equipment list. Living: The Strigany are living humans and none of the Undead rules apply. HENCHMEN (Bought on groups of 1-5) Ghouls Ghouls are the descendants of evil and insane men who ate the flesh of the dead. When the lean and hungry times of famine come upon the Old World, the most depraved and destitute took to feasting on corpses to survive. Driven by their unspeakable craving for the meat of their fellow men, these creatures have given up their human life and dwell near graveyards, crypts and tombs, digging up the rotting corpses of the recently buried and consuming them with their bare teeth and claws. They are drawn to the Strigoi by a supernatural calling. Together they will prey upon stragglers and the weak. The Strigoi will drink their blood leaving the drained corpse to the ghouls.
Weapons/Armour: Ghouls never carry any equipment, apart from a few bones, which they use as primitive weapons. SPECIAL RULES Cause Fear: Ghouls are twisted and repulsive creatures and therefore cause fear. Skeletons Whilst other vampires and necromancers raise either zombies or skeletons to do their evil work, the Strigoi employ only skeletons. It is not that they do not raise zombies from their graves - their taste for flesh soon leaves them picked clean.
Weapons/Armour: Skeletons may be equipped with hand-to-hand weapons and armour from the Strigoi equipment list. Skeletons may not use missile weapons. SPECIAL RULES Cause Fear: Skeletons are terrifying Undead creatures and therefore cause fear. May not run: Skeletons are slow Undead creatures and may not run (but may charge normally). Immune to Psychology: Skeletons are not affected by psychology and never leave combat. Immune to Poison: Skeletons are not affected by any drug or poison. No Pain: Skeletons treat a stunned result on the Injury chart as knocked down. No Brain: Skeletons never gain experience. They do not learn from their mistakes. What did you expect? 0-5 Bats The caves and dark underground places where the Strigoi eke out their disgusting lives are frequently inhabited by bats. Whilst not undead they are easily controlled by the vampire's will.
Equipment: None Special Rules: Living: The Bats are living beings and none of the Undead rules apply. Animals: The Bats are animals and never gain experience. Flyers: The Bats ignore terrain when they move and can freely charge any model that they can see, regardless of height and interceptors. Squishy: Bats are not very tough and use the following Injury chart: 1-2 Knocked Down, 3 Stunned, 4-6 Out of Action OR 0-2 Fell Bats These blood-drinking bats grow to monstrous proportions. The scholars of the Old World speculate that perhaps an ancestor of these beasts drank the blood of a vampire and thus joined the ranks of the undead.
Equipment: None Special Rules: Animals: The Fell Bats are animals and never gain experience. Flyers: The Bats ignore terrain when they move and can freely charge any model that they can see, regardless of height and interceptors. Cause Fear: Fell Bats are terrifying Undead creatures and therefore cause fear. May not run: Fell Bats are Undead creatures and may not run (but may charge normally). Immune to Psychology: Fell Bats are not affected by psychology and never leave combat. Immune to Poison: Fell Bats are not affected by any drug or poison. No Pain: Fell Bats treat a stunned result on the Injury chart as knocked down. STRIGOI VAMPIRE ABILITIES Curse Of The
