A Court of Ruin - Soulblight Lore

[@2Tough]

To clarify for a few folks in the comments: Nulahmia is the capitol, not the entire region she commands ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Neferatia

[@allegoriedelacaverne6989]

I can wait but I would really like to hear your thoughts on the vampire-centaurs lore

[@dank_smirk2ndchannel200]

There has to be at least one person out there who paints their vampire purple and has them be obsessed with bats and counting.

[@Jack-xg1kg]

*Raises hand* Back in 2000, when I was a teenager, my Vampire Counts colour theme was purple for the 'officer class'.

4:53 Lord Byron reference. 😂 Surprised no one else got it.

[@JurgenBlitz]

"... the Soulblight curse increases every aspect a mortal has, except for their creativity with names". Stalin and Alexander The Great took this personally.

[@dicesagas8253]

Ohh gotta love the vamps. Something about a vampire court is awesome and gets the creative juices flowing 🙌

[@juandougnac8826]

"Like an average game of twilight imperium, only with more cosplay involved" Seems accurate, TBH. Vampire politics have less backstabbing tho.

[@Ratling_rat]

Hope Vlad and Isabella make a come back... Vlad is best vampire

[@thomastakesatollforthedark2231]

@@anotherperson2627 Vlad sacrificed himself for her. She was corrupted by Nurgle and the only way for her to be saved was to die, and so he gave her his ring of immortality. This meant that when she shoved a sword up his heart, he died for real, no ressurections this time. Eventually she was killed and was cured of the taint of Chaos

Hi dug! After many years of listening to your video's, the introduction of vampire's has finally gotten my friends to move back to aos. I always forward them your video's on which ever faction they are going to pick. So a big thank you for the work you do.

[@kelanex3488]

I really do hope that at some point they give us a way to make our own custom dynasty. It is such a missed opportunity that the Vampire fans would have had so much fun with. Kind of like having charts and options as to what traits your Dynasty can have and from what main bloodline you descend from would have been amazing.

[@chaselevinson7950]

Neferata's domain is Nulahmia?

[@2Tough]

ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Neferatia Nulahmia is the capitol, not the entire region she commands

[@MisterDragon]

I still miss the actual styles of vampirism of the bloodlines. We're missing the Necrarchs and, weirdly enough, Lahmians. Flesh Eaters are obviously just the Strigoi by a new name. Carsteins are just as they've always been, Blood Dragons are also still as they've always been but those other two are MIA, despite the lady of the Lahmians being in game. It just doesn't make sense to me.

[@АрвигБадмаев-и1э]

Legion of Night is von Carstein, and Legion of Blood is Lahmians. Whole set of tactics and gimmicks of legion of blood are copy of lahmias. I don't understand how you noticed carsteins in aos, but missed lahmias

[@MisterDragon]

@@АрвигБадмаев-и1э because outside of a coven throne, and that one is already fringe on that vibe, nothing actually feels Lahmian. Back in 6th edition we actually had Lahmian vampires. Now you just have a "one size fits all" vampire unless it's a Vengorian or a Flesh-eater court regent. Not hating on AoS, just being an old fogey and missing my two favourite bloodlines.

[@АрвигБадмаев-и1э]

@@MisterDragon all I can say is that vengorian lords or blood knights are not even restricted to one bloodline. In the lore there is an order of all-female blood knights that serve Neferata, and they are from legion of blood, aka lahmia

[@MisterDragon]

@@АрвигБадмаев-и1э That's exactly the point I don't like. But that is just my personal taste. Arguably the "one size fits all" is a better approach, mini-wise it's certainly more efficient. The downside however is that it removes a little of the mystique of each bloodline being very unique.

[@adambielen8996]

So vampirism is just a pyramid scheme?

[@Enballgroda1]

I think it's very weird that Mannfred is supposedly the martial one while Neferata is supposedly the tricky one... 'cause their dynasty playstyles would suggest the opposite.

[@knightofberenike9633]

Mannfred is about cunning tactics while Neferata tries to win her battles before they start, I suppose.

[@kiesminis]

Nice work, I like a look at that Wight King, It's a shame he wasn't released separately. Look forward to hearing more about the three dynasties they released in the book.

[@NewGuy2534]

Vlad: Mannfred!! I’m coming for you!!! Mannfred: SHITE! SHITE! SHITE! SHITE!!!

[@DayneGodwin]

I always loved the Vampire Counts lore. Couldn't be happier that AoS undead is moving closer to that now

[@suitorshooter996]

'An average [millenia long] game of Twilight Imperium but with more cosplay and death.' I've never wanted to play Twilight Imperium more than right now.

"Nefferatia" Lol, wow Doug you almost never mess up like that.

Im more a Blood Dragon. If I playing, my vampire is going to created Bloody Knight Order.

[@Gangrel442003]

I so miss Vlad and Isabella...

[@marcelosilveira2276]

Man, I love vampirism, I was really disappointed when the SOULBLIGHT gravelords codex was revealed to be just a Legion of Nagash 2.0 focused on deathrattle and deadwalkers, instead of an army as focused on soublights as the nighthaunts are focused on maligns or the osiarch bonereapers on bonereapers. They should have left LoN as the mixed army, and each other Grand Alliance of Death army as an army entirely focused on that sub group

[@johnlong8952]

We having the ability for terrorgeist to varhgeist and a few others I feel like they should have just added the flesh eater courts into this book.

[@supermuffin462]

I want a army based on the idea of Blood Knights! I love the idea of a "noble" warband or army that swoops in and saves everyone and declare themselves heroes! .. Pat themselves on the shoulders and then proceeds to kill everyone as a tribute.

I totally get that Twilight Imperium reference.

[@scotty_yata]

Manfred and Neferata are just vampire Gork and Mork.

[@roll6d6]

with names of manfred's and neferata's cities names in mind, dont think it merely adds to the vampire ego that little bit more.

Gretings! Preiss algorytm gods! Blood knight and blood dragons are Abhorash blood. Its my head cannon and you cant change it.

Speaking of Ushoron and "vampires" How does a mordant become a vampire? also how do the Flesh Eater Courts Interact with other vampires and other factions for that matter?

[@themodelhobbyist]

I love all things vampire thus the reason for my interest in your videos I have never read any of your source material and have subbed your channels there is a lot there so a kind of what first if you would since there is so much information here so I don't get lost or confused. Also I played D&D as a young person but that was a very very long time ago but I how only know come to know of Warhammer as I 3D print figures to paint. I don't plan to play the game but am always very interested in the back stories on Vampires and some of the videos I already seen by you have sparked my interest in the topics and names you reference. So if you could a playlist of your playlists if that is possible so I can keep this story straight. Thank you so much in advance. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist

[@biofoot7874]

I would make a court dedicated to defying every vampire myth. Just pour salt (or rice) in front of me as I walk, enter every house without an invitation, have a hand mirror, and not say a single pun

@@joemamajoastar8708 that’s not a special weakness though. The thing that doesn’t make vampires busted is that they have all these weird weaknesses in exchange for immortality and (sometimes) power

I don't think that different dynasties will be playable. Other battletome subfaction choices are badly designed and have 1-2 playble choices.

[@40KWill]

Really depends on the faction.

[@jeannefrenken3284]

I think my roving band of vampires would consider themselves like a royal hunting party. No need for all the weak indoor activities, just hunting for sport.
