The greatest curse of Queen Neferata's legacy is that they cannot subsist on normal food and drink in order to survive, the Vampire must feast upon the very lifeblood of mortal creatures, and it is only through this imbibing of fresh blood that they are able to preserve their power and their very unlife. Some Vampires do not even care to do that, and cast aside anything that disguises their true natures, appearing as rotting cadavers that glory in their inhumanity.

Vampires share no uniform physical appearance, aside from the fact that most of them have basically humanoid dimensions - most can pass as human at a distance, and hide their ungodly natures behind charm and magical glamour - but for all their refinement, they are but rotting corpses held together by Dark Magic, and only those who feed well can maintain the illusion of beauty. For instance, the Brotherhood of Necrarchs strives to attain perfect knowledge of Necromancy and unsurpassed magical power, whereas the Lahmians possess luxury and decadence beyond any dream of avarice. The Vampire, for all its power and cunning, is ultimately a base, selfish creature driven by the same motivations of the mortals they deem themselves superior to. Since the downfall of Nagash, the only remaining power-faction of Vampires still currently dwelling within the Old World is that of the Vampire Counts, which is supposedly led by Mannfred von Carstein, last of the Sylvannian royal blood-line. This makes them very dangerous indeed, for Vampires, due to their immortality, have an extensive period of time in which to hone their skills and refine their schemes to utter perfection. The true masters of Undeath, they retain much of their original intelligence and capabilities despite their curse, and hence retain their ambition and desire. Though many lineages of this foul race now live in the rain-swept forests of the far north, their true origins lie within the once great civilisation of Nehekhara. Vampires are immortal beings that have spread the loathsome curse of Undeath across the realms of Men for centuries. Johann van Hal, the Witch Hunter General. These are the marks of the blackest evil. 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 eye the glow of their eyes, behind which lives the terrible Hunger. No man is born so unnatural that his body does not revolt at the foul pollution of Undead blood. Games-Workshop has also announced 8th edition to be released in July 2010.' I say you can find out the servants of Death by their marks. Material published in White Dwarf (some of it subsequently republished in the game itself), the Citadel Journal and a number of other games using the same setting have all added to the background. With the publication of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in 1987 the setting had moved from background to the game to a full-fledged fantasy setting.īesides Warhammer Fantasy Battle, now in its eight edition, and WFRP, there have been novels set in the same background. Each 'Army List' included a partial history and some related aspects such as notable figures or short illustrative stories. The game thrived, and subsequent supplements added the particular background to the game. The dedication was, in part, 'to Michael Moorcock… whose fault it all is'. The game was a mix of a simple rule system with a background that was drawn from standard fantasy themes. Prior to this release, the company dealt primarily with the importing of American Role-playing games, as well as support and review of gaming products, either through their White Dwarf magazine periodical or as separate commercially available products. The first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) was released by Games Workshop in early 1983. The world itself is populated with a variety of races such as humans, high elves, dark elves, wood elves, dwarfs, undead, orcs, lizardmen, ogres, and other creatures familiar to many fantasy/role-playing settings. Chaos is central to the setting, as the forces of Chaos are attempting unceasingly to tear the mortal world asunder.

Warhammer is notable for its 'dark and gritty' background world, which features a culture similar in appearance to Early Modern Germany crossed with Tolkien's Middle-earth. An upcoming game, Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes, is set to be released in Fall 2011. Some of the best known games set in this world are the table top wargame Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay pen-and-paper role-playing game, and the MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Warhammer Fantasy is a fantasy setting created by Games Workshop which is used by many of the company's games.
