We’ve seen some Soulblight Vampire previews already, but there are way more to be revealed as this might be a new HQ hidden in plain sight!
A closer look at the White Dwarf Issue 464 contents page shows a new model- hidden in plain sight! While it’s hard to see, it definitely doesn’t look like previous models, and may even be hinting at even more reveals coming soon.
Huge New AoS Vampire Model Hidden In Plain Sight!
Warhammer Community recently put up a post previewing the contents of the new White Dwarf, but one of the images might have a model that hasn’t been previewed yet…

There are three big possibilities here both involving an explanation due to delays as to why we are first seeing this in White Dwarf instead of as a preview from GW.
- First, this *may* be an Undead vs Lumineth box, coming before the Vampire Battletome release.
- The second is that this is a custom Vampire Character created with the Hero rules later in the White Dwarf for Vampires.
- Last, it’s possibly just a new Vampire Character that hasn’t been previewed yet just as it appears.
While it’s hard to really see, it doesn’t look like a homebrew character, so we are probably looking at a new official model. The model looks like it is wielding two rapiers and possibly on top of a bat-like mount. however, it does look like it will be for the Soulblight faction based on the new models in the front of the image.
The Vampire Battletome release is probably still off for a bit thanks to delays, but any potential new previews no matter how obscure are always welcome.
What do you think about the proposition of a new Undead/Vampire character? Do you see them sneaking in this release soon?
