YAARRRRRR! In this episode we discover the totally original idea of “undead” pirates and their fleets, specifically those of Lustria’s Vampire Coast. We look at the life, death, and unlife of Luthor Harkon the leader of “The Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast”, That’s one hell of a faction name… We follow his buckleswashing adventures in the jungles of Lustria as he battles Lizardmen and colonists from the Old World. His desire for treasure leads to both his insanity and profound anti-magical status. We look at his brief but fruitless alliance with Morathi before diving (get it?) into some of the more esoteric troop types and warmachines such as the Rotting Leviathans and the terrifying Necrofex Collossus.

INFAMY, INFAMY, they all have it in for me! (No? Please yourselves) In this episode we look at the practitioners of the dark art of Necromancy, the … eh, Necromancers. Who are they? Why do they raise the dead? What is the difference between them and Necrarchs? We look at these and other questions before focusing on two of the most dangerous necromancers in Warhammer Lore. First we tell the tale of the insane “Lichemaster” Heinrich Kemmler who,with the wight lord Krell, are characters almost as old as the Warhammer game itself. We then delve into the history and machinations of possibly the oldest character in Warhammer lore, Constant Drachenfels, a malevolent warlock who predates the arrival of the old ones.

In this episode we discover that while Konrad von Carstein ravaged the Empire his mysterious brother, Mannfred, studied the art of necromancy within the bleak sands of Nehekhara. We look at the Machiavellian plans of Mannfred and his role in the downfall of Vlad. So effective were his deceptions that Dhar keeps calling him Vlad. We look at Mannfred’s campaign to become the Emperor, marching to Altdorf itself where he is confronted by Grand Theoginist, and surfer-bro, Kurt III. We follow his siege of Marienburg and his cat-and-mouse evasion until he is involved in a Griffon mounting incident at the battle of Hell Fen.

Our fourth episode starts with the end … of Mordheim! We explore the destruction of the city, its cause, the warbands that flock to the city for Wyrdstone (TM), some of the more notable locations, and what, if any, benefits this all provides to Vlad von Carstien, the Vampire Count of Sylvania. We then pivot into the story of the First Vampire War, where the Empire is once again brought to the brink of destruction! We look at the impact this has on both the Living and the Dead as Vlad goes on his happy-funtime tour of zombie recruitment being destroyed and returning to “life” several times. We close out with the story of Felix Mann, the Empire's greatest thief who *spoiler warning* steals something of great importance from the vampire's nap camp leading ultimately to Vlad's true death.

In this, our first vampire counts episode, we unveiled Dhar's total love, and not at all sexual desire, for the dead. We looked at their origins and their sudden and inexplicable division between the wet dead and dry dead. We looked at the 5 main bloodlines of vampire vounts, some of the regions of Warhammer that they infest, and their relations with the living. We then cast our minds back to the origins of the dead, the first glorious empire of man, Nehekhara. We looked at the events of Khemri and Lhamia and the life and ambitions of Nagash and the vampiric queen Neferatum. Returning from death, Nagash kills all but one of the mortal beings of Nehekhara and curses the surviving vampires as they flee before his power.
