Mengel Miniatures' Nighthaunt Army


Mengel Miniatures

1,546 views

I recently decided to start a new small force for my half of the Team Tournament for Adepticon. I'm taking my Tomb Kings for the singles tournament and wanted to play something different the day before for the Team Tourney to give myself some variety and avoid burning myself out on 8 games in a row with the same army. This also gives me a little break from painting Tomb Kings.

I also have Stormcast but I'm trying to paint those to 'Eavy Metal standards. I have about 500 - 700 points done so far, but didn't want to rush anything to hit 1,000 points, plus that would probably take up all of my painting time before Adepticon and I still need to finish my Necrosphinx before then at the least for my TK.

After going back and forth between Ironjawz, Bonesplitterz, and Nighthaunts I decided to do the ghostly guys. I picked them because they are relatively low model count, fairly unique, and quick to paint while still looking good!

My 1,000 point list will be

  • 2 Cairn Wraiths
  • 1 Banshee
  • 2 Units of Spirit Hosts
  • 1 Unit of Hexwraiths
  • 1 Mourngul

Before I committed to the army I bought a Cairn Wraith to test out my color scheme on. I wanted to make sure I could paint them quickly and still look good. This guy below took me about an hour or so of pure painting time. Lots of drying time though, but when painting several units at once that should be mitigated a bit. I'm really happy with how he came out and especially like the solution I came up with for his weapon.

I'm still waiting on stuff for the base, which will look awesome, but it's a surprise until it's done! I will also have a step by step tutorial for this guy on Mengel Miniatures, most likely next week, but possibly the following week. It all depends on when all of my basing material gets here.
