I have seen vampire #3 before in a previous issue of BBM, however he is not for sale on GW website.
Does anyone have him or kwow if he is available for purchase?
He seemed to be a slightly changed variant of vampire #2 if I remember correctly.

I have found these two players that are on the GW online store, but are not listed in the bloodbowl section when you look at the models available under the current rosters.
Blood Bowl Elf Thrower 2
Blood Bowl Vampire 3
Does GW do this regularly or was this an error by them perhaps?
Does anyone know of any other Blood Bowl players that were left off in a similar fashion?
Thanks

dont forget the vamps are tiny. probably 75% size of usual 28mm figs.
Shame means conversions from sratch rather than just head swaps:(

i have the vamp team sitting in front of me, i don't think they are too small
the vamps look lean and mean and i think the size empahsizes the fact they are meant to be superhuman and the thralls look scrawny and fit the bill well
they actually look like a blood bowl team as well
they are the best minis in the range by far

yep agree i have them as well... point was bit small to use other vampire models ie - blood dragon parts. I like them best figures since about '90. If the thralls were same size i would use some 2nd ed humans with thrall heads.
One day soon the 16man diffrent team will mean i dont need to convert anything...cant wait

This damm Vampire #3 is the only BB mini i´m missing for my webarchive !
I printed the number from GW MOUS ( there is no single Vampire mini list at MOUK!) for the Mailtrolls and tried to order this mini at the BB last weekend. No chance... i was told , just in blisterpacks ! I already bought two blisterpacks at my local store and didnt get the right vampire
Well, at last i got the new BB troll. Looks nice ! Because i ordered, hm, some minis, i got even a second one for free
One for conversions and one for the collection
