AthlorianStoners Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I’m finishing up a project now and always like to plan ahead, so the anticipation for my next project builds. With that in mind I’m looking to start a new army based on one of the following: -Nighthaunt -Disposessed -Moonclan -Clan Skryre My current armies are FEC, BCR and Freeguild, so something a little different to them would be cool. Customisation and conversion are also a big deal to me. If anyone has advice or suggestions I’d love to hear from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Nighthaunt and Moonclan are both rumoured to be on the release cycle so I’d hold off starting either until something comes of it just incase your list or theme radically changes when they get AoSified.

That’s a good point I hadn’t considered. As of now I’m only looking to do 1000 points, so I could finish there then build up to 2000 if another release does come for them.

Ar-Pharazôn Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'd go ahead and say Moonclan. Unique aesthetic and a new model already here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Moonclan has a lot more options than Nighthaunt or Clan Skryre. Goblin themed or an all Squig force (!) For example, and while you probably won't tear up the top tables, it is quite competitive in my personal experience. Oh and you can get like 10 zillion grots from eBay very cheap to start off the force off on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorticulusTGA Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'd say Dispossessed, with maybe Ironweld Arsenals allies ? Or idem, Skryre and Verminus ? Or if you like green and conversion, Dispossessed and Sylvaneth allies (is it possible ?) Or use the Living city allegiance abilities, to represent the fabled Root Kings duardin.

Tzaangor Management Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 If it's for painting and playing, then I'd go for Nighthaunt, as you've got the Legions of Nagash book to help you build out your force should you want to, as well as the GHB 2017 rules if you want to stay in faction. A buddy at the club I play at has a Legion of Sacrament army that heavily features Nighthaunt models, also has Arkhan, who looks incredible and it's a very good army (rend immune and lots of debuff spells, focusing on objective play), which sounds different to your current ones. You can also go pure Nighthaunt from the GHB 2017, although I think this is a narrower choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I’d go Skryre. They are great fun to play, easy to get to 1K and offer a unique playstyle to your other armies. Also then you have something from all grand alliances, for what that’s worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParachuteHopper Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If it looks like there is a new nighthaunt release, buying a start collecting box or two now before they all sell out might be a good idea :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah I’m thinking of leaning toward Skryre. The potential for conversions there is really enticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Skryre is tons of fun, and can CRUSH IT on the tabletop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
