Though all Strigoi descend from the same ancient lineage of Ushoran, they have devolved to become something far fouler and more hate-filled than their brethren. The Ghoul Kings spend their days creeping through the hidden places of the world, but under cover of night, they will wreak their vengeance at the head of a shambling army of Undead. At times, powerful Strigoi Ghoul Kings raise vast armies around themselves and push south in a desperate attempt to recreate the kingdom they lost. So far, their advance has always been halted by the warmongering tribes of Greenskins blocking the way to the Badlands, or by disciplined armies of the Tomb Kings that stride out from the desert. Yet across the Old World, the minions of the Ghoul Kings have been sighted ever more frequently. Some say the ancient brethren of the Strigoi are uniting under one leader and massing great armies of degenerate beasts in their cavernous lairs. If this is true, no creature - living or dead - is truly safe from their wrath. ==Attributes== *[[File:Wh main lore vampires.png]] '''Wizard''' {{wh_dlc04_vmp_cha_strigoi_ghoul_king_0 bulletpoints}} ==Spells== The {{PAGENAME}} has a unique blend of spells from the [[Lore of Vampires]], [[Lore of Death]], and one unique spell. *[[File:Wh main spell death spirit leech.png|38px]] [[Spirit Leech]] *[[File:Wh main spell vampires invocation of nehek.png|38px]] [[Invocation of Nehek]] *[[File:Wh main spell death doom and darkness.png|38px]] [[Doom & Darkness]] *[[File:Wh main spell vampires invocation of nehek.png|38px]][[Gaze of Nagash]] *[[File:Wh main spell death soulblight.png|38px]] [[Soulblight]] *[[File:Wh dlc04 spell vampires raise dead strigoi.png|38px]] [[Lore_of_Vampires#Command of the Unliving|Command of the Unliving]] ==Character Abilities== ===Active Abilities=== *[[File:Wh main character abilities blood lust.png|38px]] [[Blood Lust|Blood lust]] ====Campaign only==== *[[File:Wh main character abilities red fury.png|38px]] [[Red Fury]] *[[File:Wh main character abilities magical animus.png|38px]] [[Magical Animus]] *[[File:Wh main character abilities undeath resurgent.png|38px]] [[Undeath Resurgent]] ===Passive Abilities=== *[[File:Wh main lord passive the hunger.png|38px]] [[The Hunger]] *[[File:Wh main lore passive the curse of undeath small.png]] [[Lore of Vampires#The Curse of Undeath|The Curse of Undeath]] *[[File:Wh main unit passive regeneration.png|38px]] [[Regeneration]] ====Campaign only==== *[[File:Wh main character passive evasion.png|38px]] [[Evasion (ability)|Evasion]] === Item Abilities === *None ==== Multiplayer Only ==== *[[File:Wh main item abilities power stone.png|38px]] [[Power Stone (ability)|Power Stone]] *[[File:Wh main item abilities potion of strength.png|38px]] [[Potion of Strength (ability)|Potion of Strength]] ==Items (Multiplayer)== *[[File:Wh main anc arcane item.png|38px]] [[Power Stone]] *[[File:Wh main anc enchanted item.png|38px]] [[Potion of Strength]] ==Mounts== *[[File:Mount terrorgheist.png|38px]] [[Terrorgheist (mount)|Terrorgheist]] == Talent Tree == * [https://totalwarhammerplanner.com/planner/vanilla3/vmp_vampire_counts/vmp_strigoi_ghoul_king Skill Tree on TotalWarhammerPlanner] ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Vmp strigoi campaign 02 0.png File:Vmp strigoi campaign 03 0.png wh_dlc04_vmp_strigoi.png </gallery> ==Strategy== {{strategy}} The Strigoi Ghoul King has good melee attack and defense and excellent AP damage, but only 15 armor. This makes him a glass cannon that can tear through armored units but can die very easily to focused missile fire, being mobbed by units with high enough melee attack to hit him, or a hero or lord than can tank his damage long enough to beat him down. The [[Terrorgheist (mount)|Terrorgheist]] mount gives him 80 armor, but also negatively affects his melee stats and damage. He has a slightly different set of spells, including a unique variant of raise dead which can summon crypt ghouls or crypt horrors (if overcast). While he is more of a melee fighter than a spell caster, it is worthwhile to get at least this spell as these units are much nastier than zombies or Skeletons. {{Navbox Vampire Counts units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer units]] [[Category:The Grim and the Grave units]] [[Category:Vampire Counts units]] [[Category:Vampire Counts lord units]]
