Games Workshop Warhammer AoS - Easy to Build: Nighthaunt Dreadblade Harrows

Product Information

The Nighthaunt presence in the Eightpoints intensified after the Necroquake, a ritual summoned by Nagash, and even more appeared since Katakros, Mortarch of the Necropolis, led an invasion of the Eightpoints and secured the Shyish gate. Since then gheists and other dangerous spirits populate the Bloodwind Spoil and in particular Lost Velorum, a subterranean spectral kingdom. Overview and Points for the Fighters in the Nighthaunt Warband These are much more exciting to us than the Grand Strategies, offering a range of tactical choices. We’re expecting at least one of these to be achievable every turn of the game, so all that’s left now is practice how to get the most out of them! Credit: PierreTheMime Units Chainghasts are pretty much as we saw them in Arena of Shades, functioning largely as a +1 to hit aura to Nighthaunt units while a Spirit Torment is on the battlefield. This is… nice, but because it’s dependent on a Spirit Torment floating around, killing that off means the Chainghasts are almost useless. At least you get them for free in the box with your Spirit Torment? Glaivewraith Stalkers The God of Death, in his twisted sense of justice, left them enough memories of their past life to torment them forever, in their constant hatred for the living.

James: Heading into the new edition, Nighthaunt armies receive notable gifts from the new Core Rules. Previously the army could struggle to replenish their ranks in the same way as other Death faction armies do. Now, with the new Rally command ability, you have ample opportunity to rejuvenate those ghostly spectres! Each hero phase allows you to replenish reinforced units waiting to roll that 10+ to charge and trigger the Wave of Terror ability. This kit comes as 12 push-fit components, and is supplied with 2 textured 60mm oval bases – these feature the graveyard detritus expected from the Nighthaunt. Finally an equivalent for All Out Defense ! As we’ve spoken about in Hammer of Math articles before, a 5+ ward is more than twice as good as a 6+ ward, because any saved wound has a higher chance of being saved again. Using this ability at just the right time will be absolutely game winning. We’ve taken to calling this ability All Out Ghost in the Goonhammer office. Frightful Touch So, when this article refers to an ability being a Double, a Triple or a Quad, it refers to this system. It might sound a bit confusing, but takes no time to get used to when you start playing What changed in the new edition for the Nighthaunt Warband?Thorns of the Briar Queen: Briar Queen, Varclav the Cruel, The Ever-hanged, 2 Thorns of the Briar Queen Chainrasp, Spirit Host and Grimghast Reaper. You need to keep two Chainrasp in reserve, but in a narrative campaign you can bring them on as soon as you increase your point limit. How to buy a Nighthaunt Warband

new profiles have been added following the small release at the beginning of 2022: Scriptor Mortis, Krulghast Cruciator, Craven Huntmaster and Craventhrone Guard.Aura of Dread(Double, Everyone): Subtract 1 to the Strength characteristic (to a minimum of 1) of an enemy fighter. All are afflicted by an eternal torment that drives them to take out their rage on the living, often stemming from the manner of their death. Cairn Wraiths , for example, were killers and criminals in life who revel in their murderous tendencies once risen from the grave. Spiteful Spirit lets you roll a number of dice equal to your general’s Wounds characteristic on any turn they’re injured, inflicting a mortal wound on each enemy unit within 6” on a 4+. Most Nighthaunt generals that see combat aren’t going to be alive there very long, and while it might be cute as a little bomb it still doesn’t meet the mark for us.
