The Barrow Legion is a playable faction of The Drakenhof Conclave Vampire Counts introduced in Total War: Warhammer II. It is led by Heinrich Kemmler and can typically be found in the Northern Grey Mountains.

The Midnight Aristocracy have long struck terror into the hearts of the mortal races. From their lairs deep in Sylvania, the Vampire Counts strike out against the living with their massed armies of the eager dead.

How They Play[ | ]

  • Icon blood kiss Assassinate enemy Lords and faction leaders to fell them in battle to collect Blood Kisses for the awakening of powerful Bloodline Lords.
  • Icon raise dead Raise the dead from your Lords' localities to instantly recruit units without training time and quickly muster large armies.
  • Icon corruption vmp Spread Vampiric corruption across the land to disable attrition for Undead armies and blight the living as you increase the chances of Undead uprisings.

Campaign[ | ]

I am Kemmler, the Lichemaster, my destiny is my own!

The vast, forbidding forests and frowning valleys of the Empire may be lacking in fair Bretonnia, but behind this safe facade, peril lurks. The sprawling lands between the dukes' centres of power are home to all manner of predators, from wolves, through to Goblins, Orcs, Undead, and the like. Beyond the kingdom's borders the Elves of Athel Loren exist as an enigma to their neighbours; a fragile coexistence that, for now, aids the cause of all in these lands who stand against the ever-present threat from the Forces of Destruction.

The Lichemaster prowls his old wanderings in the Grey Mountains, plotting his next move against sworn enemies in nearby Bretonnia and the Empire.
