Konrad Von Carstein FLC

[Chillshotz]

The 6th and Final Legendary Lord of Vampire Counts, or maybe one more like Gashnag the black prince, with it Grave Guard Gunnery? and Cannons. Grave guard halberds as per lore. With Konrad, brings vampire counts some Napoleonic features.

Or it would be awesome to see grave guards with rifles, draws one handed sword on melee. Not just feeble rifleman cattle. Basic Melee attack 26 melee defence 30 Armor 90. A sylvanian reskin of the gunnery mob wouldnt be right for Konrad especially if they are now up against bloodthirsters and other monstrous units. Most of the undead wont have any magic resistance or any resistance of any kind since they already have fear and terror.


Konrad von Carstein, his hero Walach Harkon, Grave guard (halberds), Grave guard(rifle men), Cannons. With grave guard halberds, expect they would be a lot tougher since the charge reflection was implemented. The charge reflection was not and is not necessary then if all it does is additional damage when bracing. The Bonus vs large is enough.

The charge reflection should be removed replaced with immune to knockback when bracing or charging, for spears and halberds if they are facing the charging large enemy. Same knock backs apply if charged from behind or the flank. Or Just remove the charge reflection, theres already anti-large.

Its only right to arm firearms to grave guards in the Empire theater of war area for hitting monstrous units and the fact that Konrad will have lesser vampiric spells. He's gonna need those.

With lesser intensity vampiric spells but replaces The Hunger, Konrad Von Carstein gains The Bloody Increased regeneration in melee to 0.20%(or stay at 0.10%) and RAGE. Chance when he goes on a rampage he loses 10 melee defense. Another separate perk Frenzy.

I think he'd be a nice faction to play with if he ever comes in. Theres nothing else to add, perfect for a FREE LC. Or he could be like Alastar the white Lion, available only with Vlad Von Carstein faction.

"With Konrad, brings vampire counts some Napoleonic features."

Cooooool. Got my vote. Napoleonic warfare type faction could be fun!

The troop descriptions make sense on your premise. Hope we get something like it sometime or as a mod.

hmmm.. Maybe he could be repurposed as a Vampire Coast LL? They did have a problem finding possible LLs for them in their actual DLC and had to both shoehorn in Arenessa and make an OC to fill up that fourth lord slot. A major theme of Vampire Coast does seem to be guns, so I guess he'd fit right in.

What about Grave Graud Gyrocopter with hellblaster rocket launcher, a sort of necromantic Apache

No no that's a Tomb King unit piloted by the Pharaohs Undead Hyena's get the lore right

[Chillshotz]

just a grave guard riflemen or sylvanian gunnery that looks right in the Empire theatre of War with Kislev in the North, Dwarves in the east, and Empire in the west and some chaos popping up in the middle. Why would you think of Vamp Coast when Konrad is Clearly Sylvanian? or even just the halberd version of graveguard.

Then the only one who´s missing from their family is their long lost nephew Adolf von Carstein. He was off to visit the art school in Altdorf, but somehow wants to unite the empire, and spread it throughout the world - as he thinks the empire itself is a bit too small. He´s actually the only vegetarian vampire, who isn´t undead - except for his mustache, which is in fact a little bat, and both live in symbiosis, feeding each other with evil thoughts...

[Aleera]

Can we not get another von Carstein?

Just get us someone from the other bloodlines.
It's the "Vampire counts". Not the "Von Carsteins and lackeys".

I'd rather have a ghost based lord to be honest.

Konrad topics are being discussed, no schemey sneaky propagandas from the chaos. The chaos propagandists are very sneaky with their write ups but they are the evil. Just look at the people in the locals. See? the chaos propagandists deceived mankind.

[Dr.Bones]

In lore he is a melee specialist and a horrible spellcaster. I don't see what could bring to the table as a legendary lord... maybe a hero at most.

There is a mention of a khornate vampire champion that would make for an interesting legendary hero or lord with a stretch but I can't seem to recall or find info about him... he is a bit obscure. In lore there was a daemonologist and necromancer named Constant Drachenfels that could go as a legendary hero to both chaos and vampire factions and would make for an interesting addition.

[Chillshotz]

I think there are a lot of things in the table top that are not in game but CA have to make sure that that unit will jive with their current game. Warhammer 3 needs to win back the top 10.

[Chillshotz]

i ddint had any clue about this before warhammer one but i knew theres a previous fan base from the table top which even now i still dont know much of.

Here, all free. Would be cool if it was made official though. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2873912948&searchtext=konrad

I am more interested in Gashnag the black prince; a Strigoi lord in the border princes who styles himself as a romantic hero suffering a curse. It just seems like there is so much more room for roster tweaks and mechanical innovation with him than with old Killcrazy Von Carstien.

that sounds good, i hope they add him in

[Garatgh Deloi]

In my opinion, Konrad seems too similar to Vlad (that said i will admit that i haven't read all of his lore).

I would prefer the Red Duke (As a hybrid Vampire Counts Bretonnia faction).
