The Blood Dragons are a Vampire Counts Bloodline from Warhammer Fantasy.

History

The Blood Dragons trace their lineage all the way back to Abhorash, the peerless warrior and champion of Lahmia, and the disciples who followed him from Lahmia's destruction. After their master cured himself from the curse of vampirism with the aid of the blood of a monstrous red dragon, these disciples scattered across the world, seeking out foes of similar calibre to defeat, and thereby earn Abhorash's favour.

On the Tabletop

It is notable that the Blood Dragons, who are Vampiric Knights, field-able as a Rare option for the Vampire Counts, are arguably the fucking strongest CQC unit in Warhammer Fantasy. This is a universe where Daemons exist. Be afraid. Be very fucking afraid. With high initiative, S7 on the charge standard, frenzy, 2+ armor and good weapon skill these guys are a big-ass hammer waiting to be used.

Sadly the very complex and badass Blood Knight models are $99 for a mere five models. Chances are good if you're using them, you're using as many as possible so you'll need 5+ models. Solution? Either nut up and slay the strongest motherfucker on your street to feast upon his blood so you can throw your food money at Games Workshop, or buy Bretonnian Knights at $35 for 8 and use up your leftover bitz from the rest of your Vampire Counts on them. A good compromise you can buy 5 Dragon Princes for $35, which look very similar to the Blood Knights.
