bsharitt Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 So I noticed that the Cairnwraith was no longer available, so I though maybe he's up for a rebox and went looking on some other GW local sites and it appears that in GB, AU, and NZ, he's not only now unlisted, he's also unsearchable(bat swarms and beast of nurgle are unlisted, but you can still find them with search). So I guess he's only available as part of the Tormented Spirits box. I wonder if that's a good sign it will stick around? I also noticed that on those three site Hexwraiths finally got reboxed(no surprising since they're also Black Knights and Deathrattle has seen a lot of reboxing), when did that happen?

Josh Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 its happened to heaps of kits before, i wouldnt see anything happening to the kit other than getting reboxed with rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Is the malign portents coming as a box set of some variant? And besides the knight of shrouds, are we expecting new models for nighthaunt? in my opinion, if we do see new models besides what's already been leaked to us, I think the range will be minimal.

Josh Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 expect the worst but hope for the best Who knows, it would be awesome to get more, iirc a few sources said 2018 is the year for death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Yeah I noticed this with the cairn-wraiths. Just finally dropped a load of cash getting a solid chunk of night-haunts after planning to for a long tim and when I went online to pick up what i couldn't get at my local store I see they cant be found. And if you follow a URL to the cairn wraith site it says "no longer available online". Can some one put my heart at ease about speculations of how night haunt is going to be treated from here ha.??

The Cairnwraith is still in the Nighthaunt box set, so not going any where. I suspect we'll be getting bunch of reboxes for death this year(possible all of death still sold) and he'll be getting a rebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungolah Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Anyone looking for a little more nighthaunt in their black coach, I pumped some hexwraith into one. Progress attached. It gives the coach a bit more of an action pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grungolah Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The Black Coach looks and feels like the general of Nighthaunt. Is that how it plays out? Should I max my wraiths banshees to I have 1 legal wraith, 2 legal banshees, 1 illegal liche from sources unknown that could become a banshee, and 4 circa 1995 ghosts (that were the predecessor to spirit hosts) that could become illegal wraiths. What's the best ratio? And pics! I chose an open casket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Quick question, as spirit hosts cause a mortal wound on a 6 or more to hit, does the new knight of shrouds command ability adds 1 to hit mean, without counting other modifies that spirit hosts would cause mortal wounds on a 5+? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5kaven5lave Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Guys, is 3 Spirit Hosts too few models? Would 6 be better or are max units the best bet? Cheers! Ooh, and what about Hexwraiths? Ta!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 I run two 6 host units and two 3 host units along with one 5 man Hexwraiths unit to go after objectives and support models. the 3 base units work great as a pseudo bodyguard for a Mourngul as they can block off large areas of its base from threats and in turn are quite survivable under its -1 to hit aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 i guess it depends how your list is structured for me i prefer MSU just so you have that flexibility, like if your objective carriers get killed it seems like a waste sitting a unit of 6 on something but if you want to kill something , unless you roll bad its not going to really hurt you imo but i do run 1 unit of 6 to scare people and if i get a reroll to hit triumph and if i want to used damned terrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtyn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Based off of the current previews do you guys think you will run one of the new allegiances or stick with Nigthaunt? I feel like sacrament might be really upping the value of spirit hosts, especially with the ability to be affect by vanhels now. What are you guys thinking?
