@vetruviangeek I strongly suspect you are correct and at some stage the Vampires will return with an army via GW. Problem I have found with GW approach however is it seems uninspired and almost cartoonish in quality. Also I am not sure GW would give it house room for now with the main storyline being Nagash.

@gerry Fireforge seem to be the front runner for now and thanks for the suggestion. My approach is mainly towards troops on this. I am thinking also of two types. A hoard type of thralls/ dominated with a Vampire in command of them. The heavy troops would be lesser Vampires. A sort of retinue of a Lord. The Blood knights are still a good pick for cavalry. The small heavy hitter units would be Varghiest and werewolf The latter being represented by skin walkers from the Forgeworld range. There are still a fair sized range of heroes in the GW range. My thinking goes much along the lines of the lore set up by the Underworld films. The idea of skeletons or zombies never sat well with me for Vampire troops.

@maledrakh and @davehawes. Thanks both for your suggestions and I will certainly give them a look before settling on my core theme.

Thanks to everyone who responded so far. 🙂
