Duke Hans Voiksgram - Vampire Count of Vhaltovia (225 points)
+ 50 points The Summoning Ring


Vhaltovia is north of Drakenhof where the mountains break into Sylvania. It is one of the most feared regions of Sylvania and when the Empire rampaged through Sylvanian woods hot on the tracks of Mannfred, Vhaltovia was the last place to be cleansed. Still, Castle Voiksgarm remains together with the evil memories of its former inhabitants. Some say it is now once again the haven for the Dukes of Vhaltovia, where the Undead Lords hold blood feasts and revelries of terror.

The Duke has a good relationship with the Carsteins, mainly because of his own psychopathic nature. Serving primarily under Vlad, Voiksgarm was later shunned for his perverse cruelty and evil which was only surpassed by Konrad. Strangely, the Duke did not serve under Konrad and vanished from the scenes until the resurgence of the Vampire Lords under Mannfred von Carstein. A powerful aly commanding a host of Wights and ethereal terrors, the Duke soon re-established his former loyalty. He fell at Marienburg, mainly due to his own arrogant, rash pride but some suspect that his brood still live on in their ancestral home.

Weapons/Armour: He carries two hand weapons, one a wicked edged sword, the other a razor sharp sickle (this adds +1 attack).

Magic Items: Voiksgarm has 2 magic items, one of which is a magical talisman - The Summoning Ring.



The Summoning Ring

Twice per battle, the Ring may be activated over the body of a model slain by the bearer. If a Wizard or spellcaster, a Wraith is raised in its place and under the command of the Ring bearer. Any other model is raised as a Wight, exception to this - a deadly but extremely rare exception. Should the Ring bearer slay a dragon, he may resurrect the body as a Zombie Dragon. This summoning power is treated as a spell and may be dispelled as usual.



Black wolf form

In the magic phase, the Vampire may shape-change into a black wolf or dog with glowing red eyes. Generally the older the Vampire, the larger the wolf. The form lasts until dispelled, or until the vampire is slain or chooses to end the transformation. While in the wolf form the vampire has the following stats:
