ogmaadn Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi all, Once the upcoming new Death battletome is released, I'll definitely want to include some Morghasts to my army since they are really, really good. Probably the best tool for any Death army. The thing is that I don't like the current GW models so I'm looking for some replacements or alternatives that fit in terms of size (preferably GW's alternatives). I'm actually thinking of Necron's Shard of The Nightbringer since I absolutely love this model and it fits thematically perfecto. However I'm not sure it is about the same size as Morghasts. Can anyone confirm this? I've also heard that Forgeworld's Misfits with some wings (i.e. Plague Drones wings) might be a good alternativa (but I don't like resin that much). Any other good alternative to Morghasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeovich Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Maybe something from Warmachine might work? Cryx has a fairly strong undead theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Malifaux has a couple dreadnaught sized ghosts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nightbringer's about the same size, bit taller, bit skinnier, but should be fine. If you run a lot of them they'll get kind of chorus liney, might need to convert some. And they're in resin, which isnt great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogmaadn Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's great to hear they are similar on size. And I'm fine with resin as long as they'll be only 2 of these guys in my army for now, so I'm actually thinking of picking up the other Necron's C'Tan and converting him as well so that I can get 2 different models for the Morghasts (the Deceiver is gonna get more difficult to customize and convert I'm afraid though).

Mortis Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 You could try these from Mierce Miniatures. They are sold in packs as well as individually and are as big or bigger than Morghasts. http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_dkl_jut_wht_min_300_000http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_dkl_jut_wht_min_400_000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I really like Mierce Miniatures their variant on it aswell! Another model I really like is this one: It's 60mm so roughly the same scale. Downside is that most alternatives are actually more expensive as the regular Morghasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch of Izalith Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Mierce do some wonderful stuff. I hope someone from GW goes scouting around on their site for ideas I wish their Darklands game was better though - its super clunky. I think they based the mechanics off an 80's roleplaying game or something. The concepts are great, the Lore is really original and inspiring , the minis are stunning but the game is just bad. I don't mind the GW kit but its one of those annoying ones where I like the build that's not as good in the game - and I always go for what ever looks best! Did the new scroll leak? I haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch of Izalith Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Oh cool so they can have either equipment loadout and then choose between the 3 dice charge or the mortal wound save armour. Lol I still don't know whether to build them with swords or halberds - I like the swords but I don't think i have anything else with -2 rend so maybe I should go halberds... rinse, repeat thought..

Lol I still don't know whether to build them with swords or halberds - I like the swords but I don't think i have anything else with -2 rend so maybe I should go halberds... rinse, repeat thought.. Exactly! Yeah I think the models in general are very worthy to consider to magnetize. I'd say 6 are probably the max you'd comfortably field and there is something to say about both loadouts. Offcourse if you want to deal with the 'stormcast equivelants' Rend -2 becomes the general goto, as it sets a standard. However the moment your dealing with more horde like forces, relying on 5+, 6+ or no armour obviously both swords become better. My personal advice for you would be to go for the Helbards because there are several ways to increase their attack total and at that point the Helbards theoretically surpass the swords in most cases. Though obviously even then against lower armoured opponents swords are good As above running 6 Harbingers with Helbards in Grand Host of Nagash is a pure deathstar! There is very little they cannot reach and there is acces to buff them in certain places. Blood Feast from the Vampire Lord in particular is epic. In addition due to their bases the 2" reach is also what gives the double handed weapons an edge, especially if you run 6 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch of Izalith Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 @Killax Fortunately for the rest of my group - I only have 2 of them but 6 does sound like it would be fairly devastating. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Harbingers are also pretty amazing in Legion of Night. They lose the extra attack from Grand Host, but gain outflanking, which brings back some of the surprise charge potential that they lost with the removal of old style summoning.

Jamopower Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wow, those Mierce models are ace. Have been thinking this same thing and I think those will head on my future shopping list. I have been looking at their range quite much and even have a bunch of skeletons from them, but their webstore is horrible to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
