Devilish chariots imbued with dark and eldritch power, driving the Undead to greater, more macabre acts.

Corpse Cart is a The Drakenhof Conclave Vampire Counts chariot unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with The Grim and the Grave.

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Corpse Carts act like magnets for Dark Magic, drawing their power from the land itself and re-animating the dead around them. Sometimes a Corpse Cart is hung with a great bell, the clapper of which is a fell lodestone of eldritch provenance. When necromantic magic is thick in the air, the bell tolls and ripples of Dark Magic emanate from the Corpse Cart. Under the influence of this ominous knell, the dead are drawn back together and cadavers stagger to their feet. Other Corpse Carts are lit by braziers that burn with infernal flames. The smoke from these 'balefires' contains particles of Warpstone that can drive enemy Wizards temporarily insane. Though most were hunted down and put to the torch, for more than a thousand years the remaining Corpse Carts have wandered along the back roads and dirt tracks of Sylvania, wearing death and misery like a shroud. On dark nights, they enter ramshackle villages, stirring the dead in their graves and filling the dreams of slumbering peasants with visions of rot and death. These strange constructs are valued highly by Vampires, for Undead creatures near a Corpse Cart will fight with frenetic vigour, bolstering the battle line of their armies.

This unit simply provides the Vigour Mortis ability to units in a radius. This is beneficial at making units like Skeleton Warriors and Crypt Ghouls do more damage and last longer in combat against superior foes.
