There are no such thing as vampire big guys.
All big guys are presented on page 25 in LRB ver 2 and vampires are not among them.

The only Vamp Undead can use is the star player, Count Luthor (or whatever). The players as presented in the BBMag are for the Vampire team only.

I thought so, don't you think there should be Vampire BG's?

They don't need one. They have a ST5 AG4 Vamp Lord and he doesn't have any neg trait (like OFAB).

Only if you can afford the Star Player. They don't get the basic Vamp.

They used to in some older versions of the game...and in some leagues the basic Undead teams get Vamp Big Guys...but officially they don't.

Reason: ''
The end-zone “line of death” does not discriminate when one tempts fate by using a “go for it” to pass over it.

In the latest version of the vampire team (to be tested in the MBBL next season) the vamp lord has been taken off the player roster, and the team can now take 0-8 Vamps with COFAB.

And no, I don't think the undead need a vamp BG. They've already got 2 "big guys" in all but name in the mummies. A BG like the Vamp Lord that the team could develop would just make the team to over-powered IMO.
