My hope is that if we get a black knight, it will be the vampire.
That way we will have more room for other interesting necro units.

Please no... We already had those in H6, and if you were thinking about Vampire Knight on a Horse, there is absolutely no reason to do that when Vampires are able to teleport and turn into bats, they don't need Horses.

impact dude. the amount of force you could get with a charging horse is quite substantial, of course i'd still prefer the units separate but there is definite reasons for a vampire to sit on a horse. it would also provide with some emergency food if vampire got peckish.

You should put a skeleton, Zombie or something like that on a Horse, something that would actually benefit from having a mount. On the other hand, Vampire is just losing its mobility. We are also talking about Skeletal/Zombie Horses, I don't see Vampires eating that.
If we would have both Death Knight and Vampire in the game, I would prefer Vampire to look something like in Heroes 5, like a count and not a Knight, while Death Knight can wield an Axe. It would make them quite a bit different.

+1 to death knight with axe. I really liked their design in CoH.
I also prefer the H5 vampire to the H6 one, but i think that has mostly to do with the stupid design/theme of H6 necropolis. I really don't like all those stupid spikes.
However, if we get something vampire knight-like again, they should lose the helmets. Even though helmets are super practical it would hinder the vampire in drinking blood. So yeah, then it would be more like the H5 vampire.

I think that merging the Vampire with the Black Knight would scrap any chance left of getting back a more old-fashioned unit, that would be a remembrance of Browing's Dracula (H2/H4) or Murnau's Nosferatu (H3).
The Vampire, as it appeared in Ubisoft games so far, is rather distant from this conception, basically being presented as an undead Knight with sword.
I much preferred and still hope to see the Vampire's closer to its prior design : no sword nor armor, powerful flyer that change into a bat while doing so and as such disagree with the idea of scrapping the Vampire in order to include the Black Knight.

never disagreed, vampires as deathknights would, indeed, just remove an important unit from the roster, but you wondered what the point was, so i said it.

h3 vampires, defo. really hate these stupid knight-pires. so boring. bring back nosferatus  . helmets are be a bit silly if you're planning to drink blood and would abscure their glorious nosferatu faces  .

I quite like the vampire having a sword. See it as a tool for him to open the tin can that is the haven knight to get to the juicier parts 
The armour should be non-existent or very light, as the vampire should be all about instant carnage.

The purple swords they had in H5 were utterly ridiculous. I hope they dont repeat the same mistake. The weapon should be pure metallic like or rusted.

Or dripping with neon-green venom.

I consider important to always have the presence of the black knight. But one headless horseman might be interesting
