Vampire Coast DLC Suggestion

Warhammer III

I know that the Vampire Coast are basically never going to get another DLC, but I wanted to demonstrate that if CA was sufficiently determined they could make a DLC for basically any culture, and I got really excited thinking about the possibilities.

Legendary Lord: Nanosh of the Strigoi

Sailing his ship 'The Unternehmung', Captain Nanosh specialises in Ghouls & Crypt Horrors, which he is granted unique access to. He also gets access to Mortal Strigany which he can recruit when on land. His unique mechanic revolves around refounding Mourkain in the region of your choice, and fighting off incoming armies as you complete rituals that change the world around you and reclaim the lost glory of the Strigoi.

Nanosh has very little lore, but there aren't that many Strigoi in the lore at all. The sane ones are often loners, establishing their holds in faraway and forgotten places and ultimately working to rebuild their empire. That works well for a pirate, sailing to discover a new place to re-found the ancient city of the Strigoi.

Legendary Hero: The Brine Wife

Once a powerful witch, now a unique Syreen who retains much of her magical power. Utilises the Lore of Deeps, has Stalk, and gives Stalk to nearby units. Buffs mournguls, bloated corpses, and other fast/stealthy units.

Generic Lord: Strigoi Vampire Admiral

Similar to Vampire Counts Strigoi Ghoul King, but capable of summoning Ghouls & Crypt Horrors, and sacrificing some of its own health to heal its entire army at once.

Generic Hero: Syreen Lurker

Similar to the Vampire Counts Syreen, but with bound spells, and gives stalk to nearby units. Doesn’t have stalk itself.

Sea Giant

From Dreadfleet/Man O' War.

Bone Frigates

Pirate versions of War Wagons/ Marienburg Land Ships, drawn by a faster variant of Prometheans, each with a mini mortar, guns, and polearm defenders.

I made this one up, hence the AI picture. The Vampire Coast came out before either the War Wagon or Land Ship, but they should totally get in on the action. I'd imagine these being smaller than landships but a little larger than war wagons.

Apologies for the use of AI here, but I really wanted to see this idea come alive.

Bad Dogs

Bigger Scurvy Dogs, equivalent to Khorne’s Flesh Hounds as opposed to War Hounds.

Unit Champion from the original Vampire Coast supplement.

Deck Boarders

Equivalent to Deck Droppers with Hand Weapons, but capable of air-dropping (summoning) a Zombie Pirate Deckhands Mob.

From the original Vampire Coast supplement.
