Captain Roderick Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hey folks, I've got 6 spirit hosts and am yet to play a game. How do you find them in LoN? Looking for testimonials/tactical advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drujeful Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I have fun popping a unit of 6 out of a gravesite 9" from an enemy unit and then charging in. I think maybe the Chronomantic Cogs endless spell would help give them that extra bit of charge distance to make them even more potent coming out of the grave.

Sception Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Decent unit, good target for vanhels, good option for gravesite deployment & endless legions. Shame the +to hit synergy with knight of shrouds is gone, but at the same time they can't be crippled by hit penalties anymore either. A squad of 6 is a solid use of 240 points, in Sacrament lists especially. Grand Host and Night lists might prefer to spend thise points on morghasts, while Blood might prefer blood knights, but even in those subfactions, 6 spirit hosts is still a very respectable investment.

Is that because of the better options available to the other factions? They don't get a specific sacrament bonus, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No specific bonus for sacrament, just that grand host and blood have specific bonuses for different units in the same price range, while for night there are other units in the same price range that make better use of the outflanking ability. Since sacrament boosts basically just wizards, it's the legion that is most open to individual preference in unit selection, particularly in mid range elitish units, most notably vargheists and spirit hosts which are both fine units by default but again get outshown in legions that specifically buff or synergize with rival units like harbingers or blood knights.
