[@Madhattersinjeans]

The classic villain of the fantasy genre. And always entertaining to see how they're portrayed. Some strange cross of an animalistic long lived human, creates some very unique stories. And they make great "strange bedfellows" or faustian bargains for heroic characters. Like a corrupted reflection of humanity. And in many cases they're shown as quite beautiful creatures too, not a lot of villains can say the same. Many hollywood tropes push the villains as always being "ugly" or "stupid" or "thuggish". But Vampires sort of rise above that. Sometimes anyways. And their well known immortality means they can just keep coming back.

[@Dark_Jaguar]

Alright, the forces of chaos, the vampires, hidden family-line plots of certain elector count dynasties, the tomb kings, the dark elves, and the ROUSes (though I don't believe they exist) are ALL plotting long-game cons to rule mankind behind Karl's back. I get this hilarious image in my head of all of them employing their final master stroke at once and undoing each other perfectly leaving the empire of man both unscathed and unaware what was even happening.

[@GaldirEonai]

That is basically the default state of the world. The End Times happened when just for once the various plots _didn't_ blow each other up.

[@forickgrimaldus8301]

One hilarious thing that always happens in my Mortal Empires Campaign as the Empire is that Khalida always Joins the Empire, Brettonia and the Dwarves after the Vampires and Chaos have already been defeated after piggy backing off of one another, In a Total War Perspective its very predictable but from a Lore perspective its really hilarious, imagine an Undead Tomb King (Queen in this case) just Randomly calls the Big Three for a meeting and they just heard about all this drama, comming from a Thousand Year old Mummy that they just found out was a thing.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

"I say you can find out the servants of Death by their marks. No man is born so unnatural that his body does not revolt at the foul pollution of Undead blood. And by these marks you can tell them: by the fangs of the predator, for their thirst for blood is like that of a foul beast; by their porcelain white skin, cold to the touch and unnatural to the eyes; the glow of their eyes, behind which lives there terrible Hunger. These are the marks of the blackest evil. These are the marks of the Vampire..." -- Johann van Hal, the Witch Hunter General.

I think they understate the influence of the Von Carstien's on the ordinary folk. The mostly supported their vampire lords who governed fairly and asked very little of their subjects, especially with low taxes, allowing peasants to live relatively pleasant lives despite the obvious corruption. Yeah, you might have to give up someone every few decades from your village but in return, you get a relatively comfy life for a peasant and the assured protection of sentinels that never sleep. No marauding warbands of beastmen or norse, no harsh taxes that barely leave you with anything to eat and no threat of a witch hunter burning your whole village because you celebrated festag a little too enthusiastically.

[@molybdaen11]

They have a good life for a peasant. Maybe the best a human can get in Warhammer.

[@Xalerdane]

To a degree, yes. While having to only worry about the one inhuman, bloodthirsty monster squatting in the nearby ruined castle instead of thousands of inhuman, bloodthirsty monsters squatting in the forest is something that can be considered a sweet deal by the standards of the setting, that doesn’t change the fact that life in Sylvania sucks just as hard as it does pretty much everywhere else. The living standard for Sylvania is Early Middle Ages, while the rest of Not-Europe is High Middle Ages or Renaissance level of development. There is no middle class in Sylvania, no skilled artisans, merchants, or educated professionals. Even _Bretonnia_ has an emergent bourgeoisie; in Sylvania the only career options for people possessing a pulse are ‘impoverished, starving farmer’, ‘impoverished, starving goat and/or sheep herder’, and ‘impoverished, starving ox-cart operator’. Everyone is filthy, malnourished, in terrible health, and some degree of inbred. There’s no hope of anything getting better, no way life will end in any way other than ‘perform backbreaking labor until you keel over from exhaustion’, except for ‘eaten alive by beasts’ or ‘became a Capri-Sun for the asshole in the castle.’

It seems likely it will function like the Horus Heresy stuff has with regard to 40K - a parallel game system set earlier in the in-universe timeline, and using a revamped (if you will forgive the pun) version of an earlier ruleset, probably an updated version of the old Eighth Edition Warhammer Fantasy rules.

Aside from the eternal hunger and high risk of becoming insane sooner or later, there are also more direct risks like a whole tomb king faction coming for your undead ass.

[@jakewu8268]

You still have to deal with the unending urge for blood which if you don’t drink, you will be driven insane and turn more and more bestial. Becoming a vampire also takes a person’s worst flaws, and dials it up even when they were honourable or good natured, turning you more cruel and twisted.

Dark magic drives humans mad and withers their bodies. Every vampire's true form looks like a rotting corpse, and every vampire is at least a little (and usually a lot) insane and turned significantly more evil by the dark magic that empowers them.

@@changelingman9687 Neither do many of the vampires form the Warhammer world. They are usually weakened by daylight, but they don't, for the most part, instantly burst into flames. The phenomenon is supposed to be some form of psychosomatic magical effect in the lore - what the vampire believes about itself tends to manifest in its own body, so if it expects to burn in sunlight, it does. If it expects to be scalded by holy symbols, it is, but if it doesn't hold those beliefs, it is highly resistant or wholly immune to those weaknesses. Most Warhammer world vampires expect to be weaker in daylight, gaining their full strength only in darkness, and so that is the way it plays out.

If the Vampire is in a miasma form then aerosolized N-Stoff will also burn the very air and any particles in it, even oxidising the oxygen. One problem is if they could retreat to a completely incorporeal form and from that gather materials to reform. Even powerful oxidisers, as far as I know, can't directly affect spirits and the like.

@@jakewu8268 Really, how so?

@@tommyfox854 it has something to do with souls. When you get the Blood Kiss and turn into a Vampire. Your soul is blighted/ destroyed due to the Dhar or Dark Magic that fuels you from then on. Hence why in Age of Sigmar, there is a faction called the “Soulblight Gravelords.” The Chaos Gods require souls for sustenance and power. It’s why they are so keen on getting as many followers under their banners as much as possible. The deal they offer to mortals etc. Is that they will bestow great blessings of power if you impress them. But in exchange, the person who follows the Dark Gods will have to give their souls over to them. There is no turning back once you have forfeited your soul. Vampires on the other hand. Don’t have a soul or much of it at all due to the curse of Vampirism. So even when they do work with Chaos. They won’t be giving the Chaos Gods the amount of joy or power as corrupting a normal human would be. Vampires also just don’t want the world to be in a constant state of mayhem like Chaos does. They view themselves as the “Midnight Aristocracy” and therefore superior to everyone and share the common theme of Undead which is how stagnant they are. Also I apologise for such a long response. 😅
