Hey Grimm,

There are no rules that I'm aware of. I have the four girls painted and use them as the Vampiric Acolytes in my Romanian warband. I think another good option would be to use them as a unit of henchmen - either Human Slaves in the Nosferatu warband or as cossack henchmen (arm them with knives) in the Romanian list.

Scott Pyle just made a comment about making a second edition of Chaos in Carpathia in 2013. Perhaps this is worth mentioning

I think use them as Acolytes is the best idea I will copy that

The obvious thing (for me) would be to use the Acolyte profile, but reduce Strength by 1, and Move by 1" (for a - 3 pt. reduction in cost).  

If you wanted to get fancy, you could also use some special rules for them to represent their childish and capricious natures.

Don't Play With Your Food! [-2 pts.]
The character is fond of toying with his enemy when he or she should be finishing the job! Once a model possessing this trait has inflicted Vitality loss on a foe in close combat, it must make a TN3 Resolve goal roll, or its next attack must be a combat maneuver--either a Trip or Trick (see below). Test each turn against this TN3 until the model passes the check, at which time it may resume normal attacks against its foe. If charged by other foes, it may attack and defend against the new threat normally. Ignore this trait if outnumbered in close combat.


Trick: New Maneuver
This maneuver represents either physical attempts to throw a foe off balance, or verbal jibes intended to enrage or distract a foe. Models choosing this option use a special action and make an opposed Agility or Mind check (their choice) versus a target model within 3" of them. The target opposes using Agility or Resolve (his choice). If the tricking model wins, the target takes no damage, but suffers +1 to any TNs on his next action, and any foes striking him in close combat enjoy +1D to attack goal rolls until the beginning of the tricking model's next turn.

Nice one, Scott, sound good.

Also it could be an idea to show how the opponents are struggling trying to hit them, actually they’re children. Maybe reducing the DN pool of the foes or something like this.

Just an idea, I know, that could have some effect on the game balance

also a good Idea i wil try it in jan. at our meeting ....ugh I have to paint the figures till jan. !

Yes, time to start painting, my dear Grimm

The "Kindernacht" are part of a Vampire Wars scenario, they have a very specific background that's better to be used for a scenario than for regular games.

I recommend anybody with an interest in the subject (and the Carpathia rules) to get hold of the Westwind Vampire Wars and Realy of Terror books, they have the best victorian horror background you'll find.

I will certainly try that new rule as well Scott when we play again in January.
