Vamp ReVised

Okay, how about this one?  Basically the same but I changed the making undead slaves rule, plus added those resurrected Suitors as a unit choice.  Giving up bringing your shooters and heroes to life, however, reduced her points cost. 


Decembra, Queen of the Damned

A countess of the nobility of an Imperial world, her orgies and human sacrifices drove her further and further into the clawed hands of the Chaos Powers.  She eventually became as close to the mythical vampires as any of their fallen servants.

            War Gear:  Love’s Cold Touch – This is the name she’s given to her sword, a dreaded weapon that drains the blood and soul from its victims.  This is a power weapon that inflicts Instant Death on any to-wounds roll of 6 no matter their toughness.
            The Deepest Eyes:  Decembra’s gaze goes beyond enchanting.  Her beautiful dark eyes become endless wells that swallow the mind of anyone who gets lost in them anyone looking her way can’t help but notice their sinister shine.  She and any unit she joins counts as having both offensive and defensive grenades in close combat.  In addition she benefits from the Preferred Enemy rule. 
            Shadow Walk:  Appearing from the darkness itself, Decembra may Infiltrate, Ignores Difficult Terrain, and may pass through Impassable Terrain.  She may also start the game in reserve and Deepstrike, bringing any unit she’s attached to with her whether they normally Deepstrike or not.
            Bloodlust:  She is an Infantry model that counts as a Beast (thus Fleet and charges 12”) and gets +2 Attacks for charging instead of +1.
            Immortal:  Having absorbed hundreds of souls over the millennia, she is an Eternal Warrior and her save is invulnerable.  If Decembra is killed she doesn’t die but is placed back in reserve.  She may reenter by outflanking (per Infiltration), deepstriking (per Shadow Walk), or entering on her own board edge.
            Queen of the Damned:  So alluring are her wicked charms that souls not strong enough to resist are forced to follow her for eternity.  Infantry, Jump Infantry, Artillery crew, Cavalry, Bikers, and Jetbikers who are personally killed by her make a Ld check upon their death.  Any killed as a result of a Sweeping Advance by her unit do so at -2 Ld, so fierce is her wrath.  Those that fail return to life as Suitors immediately following the combat phase and may immediately join her unit or be placed 2” away to form a new unit (only one new unit may be formed this way, not several, and must have at least 3 models to do so).  Replace the slain model with a suitable Suitor (probably an undead fantasy model of some kind). 
            Suitors:  Those who have given their lives for her embrace go on in undeath as her Suitors.  She may begin the game joined to one unit of them; they use no slot but are otherwise treated as a HQ choice.  An army that includes her may have additional units of Suitors that count as Troops.  Their stats/rules are as follows:

            Unit:  Infantry, 3-12 per unit.
            War Gear:  Cold clammy hands with gnarly fingernails (CC wpn)
            Undead:  The Suitors are soulless slaves who are Fearless and Feel No Pain.

  1. Well, maybe cut out the Preferred Enemy. That might be a bit much. But I still think she's not too bad compared to some of the newer uniques these days.
