The only outside units were necromancers to buff and put wounds on heroes. She considered black knights but preferred having more bodies on the table. The knights are best for a supporting role in my opinion, but it would be cool to see multiple units of them on the table. How many should you generally take though? Like 5 to 10 or so?

Its not very competetive ofc, but its great fun to stack those ward saves. I wouldnt doubt that they will get some form of release like a battletome or something that makes them more playable fairly soon. So as an investment? Sure theyre prob worth it! I'm starting the assembling today. Going to put some nighthaunts together first and a couple of skeletons, so I can get to 500 points Death asap. I'll keep expanding Deathrattle until I have enough skeletons PS: Sorry for the triple post, my device refused to let me multiquote in 1 reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with a Nippon conversion, so I want to make sure I don't over-buy :P, all the extra bits are costly after all haha. I'm also painting up some Fenrisian wolves to use as dire wolves to mix in. I read some tactics where people use Dire Wolves for screening to stop the opponent from charging your important units.

Nice! Good luck with your army. The dire wolves are a solid idea to block your important stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been doing this with zombies but was thinking of getting some wolves instead. They're the same points but could potentially do more damage than 10 zombies.

They are also equally survivable. Of course, Zombie screens are still worthwhile due to being battleline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if a Mourngul would fit into a death rattle army at the moment or just go all out on skeletons.

I like the over aesthetic of the wolves in the army as well, they just seem to blend in nicely with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaux Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 A Mourngul fits in every Death army... he is more or less just a ghost (pretty dead if you ask me and you can find ghosts anywhere) anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
