  1. I keep trying to make a list with LoS too and find myself running into a similar problem. Mostly asking what else I could spend those 310 pts (for the battalion and engine) on, and how many spells I really need. Way I figure, I want Dread, Vigor, Danse, and Curse of Years every turn. Maybe a 9" Soul Harvest through a spell portal cause that's just darn fun. That's 2-3 necros and Arkhan. Throw in some endless spells and I'm good, why invest in the battalion? Sure, more spells, an artefact and a cp, but for the same exact pts you could take 1 more necro, prismatic palisade, spell portal, cogs and 1 CP.

  3. It's in the new LoN errata: ‘The following units may be selected as part of a Grand Host of Nagash, Legion of Sacrament, Legion of Blood or Legion of Night army and gain the appropriate faction keyword: • Chainrasp Horde • Glaivewraith Stalkers • Grimghast Reapers • Guardian of Souls • Knight of Shrouds • Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed • Lord Executioner • Spirit Torment’
  4. Oh man if you could squeeze some spirit hosts in there that'd pretty much my dream list. How did palisade work? Was it big enough to hide Arkhan and the Engine effectively?
  5. So then something like this, maybe, could be lots of fun. Arkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (320)Necromancer (110)Necromancer (110)Vampire Lord On Zombie Dragon(440)Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)40 x Chainrasp Horde (280)40 x Chainrasp Horde (280)5 x Dire Wolves (60)Umbral Spellportal (60)Chainguard (120) Total: 1920 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 130 and if the GoS drops to 120 in the tome as rumored, that leaves it at 1900 even for 3 command points. It might be better with no Behemoths and more little heroes like I suggested earlier, though, I don't know, I like my big models.
  6. I thought so, I mean you can take the units for chainguard in LoN without issue, and can ally with NH, so... If I'm wrong straighten me out lol
  7. Any thoughts on using the new NH battalions in LoS? I think Chainguard with a Mastery of Death General and support characters could be nuts. 2x40 chainrasps, GoS, KoS, KoSoES, Necro and VL? It's 1330pts, But moves 9", one unit gets 4A each at 3+/3+, regenerating 2d6+3d3 in your hero phase, and can come right back if it gets wiped.
  8. Im opting for VLoZD over vhordrai because his role is to zoom 19" upfield and take the focus of enemy shooting off Arkhan. With the wristbands, he's more resilient than V, cheaper, and can buff next turn whatever he summons. I like Vhordrai, and use him in my 1k list, but in my 2k list he doesn't quite fit my needs. He's a loner/hero-buffer and I needed a force-multiplier/tank.
  9. I stand corrected, a dark acolyte can take a lore spell, I got it confused with the DGA trait that is similar. So, if the general is neither a deathtmage or vampire, maybe it can choose either lore? Or maybe, if it's NH, it has to choose from the NH lore? They might have to faq that
  10. GoS i believe will get a spell from the new NH lore, which looks decent. I don't believe a non-wizard character gets an additional spell from one of lores if it takes dark acolyte, just AB and MS, could be wrong but that's how I've played it
  11. This is what I'm currently building towards, just need a few more spirit hosts and the endless spells. C&C appreciated!

Leaves me without use for the Soul Wars NH I just got though...
  12. My only hesitation with morghasts now it's that they're not summonable, so once they're gone, they're gone. Personally, I'd drop them and go for grimghasts or spirit hosts: have the VLoZD bring em out of the grave upfield and use his command ability on them. A 360pt squad of either would leave 80pts and you could then bump your chainrasps up to 30. Just my 2 cents.
  13. Thank you, this was my interpretation as well, but I didn't want to take it for granted. So, in theory, Arkhan could be 7" away from an Umbral Spellportal, place the other end of the portal 24" away, and then gain +6" to whatever spell he casts through the portal? If I'm interpreting that right, that's insane.
  14. Does Arkhan's command trait affect endless spells?
  15. This is very close to what I've been considering, but with Chainrasps and hosts instead of skellies and morghasts. Have you fielded it yet?
