The Dreadfleet Command

Count Noctilus

The infamous admiral known as Count Noctilus is leader of the Dreadfleet – a malevolent gathering of Undead warship captains who bring ruin and damnation to living seafarers. As a former member of Sylvania’s aristocratic dynasty of Vampire Counts, he once went by the name Nyklaus von Carstein but had a markedly different vision from his squabbling peers of how he would achieve necromantic supremacy. After studying the countless charts which map the ebb and flow of magic across the world, he realised that by mastering the art of seafaring he would be able to harness the magical gales that whirl and cascade across the oceans. This newfound route to power eventually led him to translocate himself and his Undead minions to the bone-choked morass of the Galleon’s Graveyard, a fell, sea-based realm of the Unliving between the tangible and intangible worlds which entraps the shipwrecked vessels of the world’s seas. It was in this mysterious place that Nyklaus von Carstein founded his darkling empire and renamed himself Count Noctilus.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Causes Terror
  This unit can fear themselves.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
