The story talks about some of the units in the Sylvanian army such as the Drakenhof Guard (In my eyes I see these guys as undead greatswords. The meat of the story is the Battle of the Old Forest Road between Vlad von Carstein and the forces of Middenheim. The scholar assumes that Vlads successors simply took the name to instil fear into the population rather than him actually being alive for over 300 years. The irony is that he doesn't believe he was a vampire just "an imposing and powerful man, probably a little unhinged and with a strange fondness for the night." This line continues throughout the story really showing the naivety of the Empire with regards to the vampires. He describes how Vlad von Carstein married Isabella von Drak to become the count of Sylvania. This article was written from an Empire scholars point of view of the Von Carsteins (perhaps I should say Castlestein - nahh) and the strange land of Sylvania. To begin with, I want to show you the inspiration behind the army: an article from White Dwarf #291 ( if you are old enough to have a copy). So without no further ado, I present my Vampire Covenant Army Blog. I am also a member of the Content Team on the 9th age forum with the Ammertime' Podcast. I have won 1 tournament recently and come second in the last doubles tournament I attended. I play on the Danish tournament scene pretty regularly. Sometimes that works out in my favour (double Dragon) but usually it doesn't. I play with what I like in the fluff and just try and fit my army into the box rather than building the most powerful things possible to smash face. I would describe myself as a hobbyist come gamer. ![]() ![]() Highborn Elves, Sylvan Elves, Warriors of the dark Gods (mono Wrath), Kingdom of Equitaine (not played since 6th edition) and my newest project will be displayed here! I have been playing warhammer since the obligatory girls and beer break now for a couple of years. Henrypmiller Vampire Covenant hobby blog part 1
