GeneralZero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Interesting thing to see that those new minis have the malignant keyword... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharitt Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 A d6 heal from the Guardian of Souls. That's going to make a Chainrasp horde hard to kill. The chainrasp horde says it has any number of models. I wonder how the points will break down. 5+ save isn't amazing, but with ethereal, rerolling saves of 1 and the GoS bringing back D6, they could be annoying as any Zombie horde on stacking grave sites.

Malignant has always been the race(just like Human, duardin, Aelf, etc). Nothing to really draw from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's the summonable keyword that has piqued my interest... Assuming they're battleline, they'd make a good alternative to small 10 model skeleton warrior units for a Legions of Nagash army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may very well break a LoN list,,summonable so they can be brought in points free with apparantly no limit to them then healed with hero,graveyard abilities.

Chainrasps have 2 attaks 4+/4+ and summonable. I suspect that a contrario to skelis, they will be expensive to build an army. BTW, you can't summon whatever you want with death...

It'll be no different to any other unit in matched-play. You will pay their cost when you buy them. Then the same limitations will apply to resurrect them.

GeneralZero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Nighthaunt: move 6", except mounted ones. I see an army RESILIENT, NOT that fast, NOT ranged . Probably heavy in magic. A nurgle like into sheets? Suspense....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 3 hours ago, Attackmack said: Yeah but why not just make it simple and say that b2b with two models means no move? I’d say that based on the rules description provided it doesn’t reference two models equal-distant in the pile-in rule. They may faq or designers commentary it, but until then, the rules are referencing it only mention the “closest” and there can only be one “closest”.

Probably heavy in magic. A nurgle like into sheets? Suspense....... Nurgle can move around 30" in turn one with some units (running and charging with the tree) and around 24" with the slow ones. The SLOW ones. I'd not call nurgle "slow" anymore. Plus, if nighthaunt alliance ability stay around the old one, they can pop wherever on the battlefield, more the 9" away from enemy. The fly keyword cut some corners in the "slow" department, so..... I'd say: Very resilient, NOT ranged, good in magic. Not very like nurgle.

sandlemad Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's pretty dang cool that the Soul Wars box will include the first chapter of Josh Reynolds' book. That's a neat trick, haven't seen that one in a while. Was something like it done in early editions? It's a bit similar to including extracts of William King's works in the older 40k rulebooks. From his Nagash book and his WHFB vampire stuff, I feel Reynolds 'gets' Nagash better than anyone else, as a fractured totalitarian monster. He puts across the gravitas, makes him feel like a god, perceiving the world differently and appearing like a black hole in his servants' minds. He's like an undead negative of the 40k Emperor, right down to his squaring off against the chaos gods. I guess these ETB push-fit dudes answers the scenic bases question.

Lemondish Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Definitely starting a Nighthaunt army with those lovely minis. It'll be my first AoS force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Any word on the rebasing aside from the announcement the other day? Most mundane question ever haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution black Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 What a stellar line up of releases! I think I will just plump for the core box first and see what the Nighthaunt minis look like in the flesh. I play Stormcast so always going to keep those models but if the Ghostly beggars sway me then it could be army number 2. Otherwise I will no doubt offload the Nighthaunt half to recoup some money that can go towards the Malign Sorcery and GHB for July. (now I just hope there are no Blood Bowl or Necromunda releases in June, early July)! I think the objectives etc can wait a while longer...

amysrevenge Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The 18 pages includes things like how to use allegiance abilities, how to use battalions, how to use Realms, all the FAQs, etc. as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahn-ket Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's cool that they include a second core rules booklet so you could split the box with a friend and have at least 18 pages of core rules And I would say it would be a really expensive month or two for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
