Rhivan Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 While I do agree Age of Sigmar needs new characters I still want the story of many of the old ones to live on. With Vlad & Isabella it makes sense that they can (via nagash) and they are beloved characters that I'm sure everyone would be happy to see return. Especially if they can set the narrative right to make them fit in the current world... realm. Which is why I mentioned my theory on Vlad being a stormcast as it would really solidify Isabella as mortarch of grief (and explain why we don't have a Vlad mortarch yet...) and make them both fit and allow us to see the couple reunited one day. To go back to the new characters of nighthaunt we have 3 characters for the faction so we are getting a minimum of two new ones and I'm really hoping the Craven King and the other guy get some good fluff regardless. If Isabella is the Mortarch of Grief I'll be ecstatic but if they can make me enjoy a new character than I'll be happy. I'll still dream of my favorite Von Carsteins coming back, but I'll be happy either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So I'm splitting the coreset with a friend and the Nighthaunt are mine. I'm super pumped to be playing with the ghosts, I wander what styles of lists we will be able to play. Attrition, recursion, horde, deathstar etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaelART Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Mortarch of grief looks like a giant ghost... Not exactly human-sized, more God-sized really... Really have no idea about identity now. Could be Lileath (Lady of the Lake). She screwed up massively in End Times, now sees the error of her ways and has thrown in with Nagash to end Chaos once and for all (because Nagash is the only one who has a chance). This is if it isn't a totally new character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaelART Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yeah, it looks to be on all of them... I guess they don't need to re-brand their SC box sets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralZero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I was thinking about the mortis engine....that all (because I love those middle sized miniatures). And it'll be probably one of our super rare ranged weapon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nactigal Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thoughts on chainrasp horde? They seem worse than skeletons, so maybe like 70 pt. Per 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 they fly, they move 6, they got 2 attacks 4+/4+, they got invuln, they can be healed , summonable, not sure they are worse.... We have to see the points. My guess: they will be far more expensive that skellies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahn-ket Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think they would cost at least the same as the skellies or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenshin620 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I honestly still don't have any idea why they have the Malignant keyword. Unless a new rule shows up that is a buff/debuff specifically for Malignant, it seems like a weird leftover keyword when they made the Start Collecting Malignant box. In fact it is interesting that Start Collecting Boxes are designed to be playable right out of the gate....except that the Mortis Engine is in no way a HERO model (and I'm pretty sure all other SC have a leader of sorts). Well that and also there is no Battle Line unit either.... So I think the Malignant keyword was originally suppose to be The Nighthaunt faction...but they changed their mind post making the Start Collecting Box. But they still kept the keyword since it doesn't really affect the game and they can still sell the SC box (and to help sell more black knights/hex wraiths). Oh and lovely new models. It is amazing just how far Push Fit models have become. I mean...remember these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 120 it's a bit much imo, i'm seeing them costed at around a 100, but not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 At 100 points, you got 2 attaks 4+4+? Resilient, fast, sumonable, healable? That'd be a steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nactigal Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 When near a hero, skeletons get 2" 4+/4+, have recursion, have a bravery debuff, guaranteed 6" charge, and when they have over 30 models (which they almost always do) they have 3 attacks each. Skeletons have worse speed, true. They also have weaker defenses, though not by much. Against the chaff they both will be faceing, they are both 5+.

GeneralZero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 the stat above are without any buff. So, I can imagine that they can have some (starting from the bravery pumped to 10 also)...Let's wait the battletome and the gh2018, shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverline Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Interestingly, they lack the ability to toss out mortal wounds like Hosts can - heck, even the Executioner doesn't have that ability. It will be interesting to see if the current Nighthaunt units will keep that ability or not, or if it is simply goimg to be much less prevalent in the army than originally thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
