Playing as the Dreadfleet requires Curse of the Vampire Coast

The Dreadfleet is a playable Vampire Coast subfaction in Total War: Warhammer II, led by Count Noctilus. They were introduced as part of Curse of the Vampire Coast paid DLC.

They are playable in campaign, custom battles and multiplayer.

Background

Count Noctilus, once known as Nyklaus von Carstein of Sylvania, was drawn to the maelstrom at the heart of the ocean to feast upon its dark magic. He performed a mighty ritual to transport himself, his castle and all his undead minions there to the Galleon’s Graveyard, a mystical place where wrecks and hulks of the seas are drawn. Reborn as Count Noctilus, he raised the shattered remains of sunken warships to form the hull of the Bloody Reaver and ride the waves of the mortal seas once more.
