The Necromancer

Here’s the new Necromancer:

Drifting between the living and the dead, a Master Necromancer summons undead minions to fight enemies on his behalf.

Necromancers are amongst the most cursed of all those who practice the magical arts, for they have exchanged their humanity for the ability to raise the dead and command them to wage war upon the living. Strange as it may seem, these depraved madmen have made this dread pact willingly. At the heart of each Necromancer’s morbid obsession is the need to subjugate and punish those who have persecuted him in the past, regardless of the cost.

Vampire Counts Gameplay & Campaign

Today Creative assembly lifted the embargo on a bunch of Vampire Counts gameplay demos the various folks got at a recent game conference. Take a look at the army of Sylvania on the battlefield and in campaign play:

Here is Gamespot’s coverage of a battle with Empire facing down the Vampire Counts

Here we see Total War Zone show off the VC’s Campaign play mode.

Meet the Vampire Counts

Finally don’t forget about Creative Assembly’s awesome in-engine introduction to Total War’s Vampire counts:

“Far from home, an Empire Witch Hunter seeking the source of this corruption will soon find that there are fates in the Old World far worse than death. The Vampire Counts have arisen, and today in this brand new in-engine trailer, they are unleashed.
All tremble before the Midnight Aristocracy! Led by Mannfred von Carstein, chief acolyte of necromantic magic and the Vampire Counts’ most cunning son, battalions of age-dead soldiers march forth to claim the Old World in the name of the undead. Moldering legions of Grave Guard, Skeletons, colossal aberrations and bat-winged beasts lay siege to gigantic Dwarfen citadels whilst Mannfred himself prowls the skies on his ferocious Zombie Dragon.

The Vampire Counts are masters of Death magic and necromancy and those that stand and fall before their might will not remain fallen for long.
Vampire Counts join the Greenskins, Dwarfs and Empire as the fourth playable race in Total War: WARHAMMER.”
