I was happy with them at 20, but it's only 100 points to bump them to 30 and I feel like that's better than some of the other options I was considering: -Another 10 Chainrasps -Another 5 Bladegheists -More endless spells (Purple Sun, Gravetide, Shackles) I could be way off though!

Pompe Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 What is the correct cost of the Briar Queen and her thorns? 180 in ghb19 or 150 as in the app and homepage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Anyone else wondering if the Myrmourn warband may have been postponed in order to apply it to Warcry instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because they are for the smaller/easier Version of underworlds And No they aren't part of wacry cause GW tells which models in the different non chaos bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNIBROWshapist Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 So how do we deal with Skaven now? Any tactics, trick tips etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The site has been pretty quiet the last few weeks; GHB19 wasnt quite the upsurge we were hoping for. With Olynder and some of our troops going down in price slightly we can squeeze 1 more small unit, hero, or endless spell in; Im going to try Reikenor bowling the Purple Sun down folks' backfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmaniac Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Could Kurdoss be a possible answer to Maggotkin? If he stands a chance of swiping their command point and denying them Morbid Vigor....seems like he could be an option....anyone have any experience tryin this out?

It was an absolute blast. Probably did more damage to me than the enemy mind - still won the game though 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Think reikenor and the sun could potentially be a good counter to Big Bads; since it automatically does 2d6 mw's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed, the size of the thing, it dominated the centre of the table and made my opponenet fearful to get close to it. Really helped with board control, which is how I won in the end.

Frowny Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I really like the models and playstyle of nighthaunt and am considering starting an army. However, I currently play sylvaneth, mostly as a horde of dryads and revenants, with 90ish models on the field Is it possible to play a reasonably competitive nighthaunt army without hordes? For example, I was thinking of allying in some Bloodknights and/or morghasts I know legions of nagash has the ability to use most of the same models, but also allows for some harder hitters (e.g. morghasts, blood knights). Do you think that might be a better route? It doesn't allow for the same mobility though, which was definitely a perk for me. Another challenge is that you always want summonable units to take advantage of the gravesites and invocations of death, but they are all hordes, almost by default.

There's some debate right now about how viable a list with the Death Riders battalion is. That's really the only way to avoid hordes as they army is designed rules and fluff wise to be hordes. You can and probably should run lots of small units, but your model count will still approach 90ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a ~3000p worth of nighthaunt and i like to run alot of spirit hosts. They cost 120 for 3 (if i remember correctly) for a more elit-ish army with units of 6 spirithosts. If you support a unit of spirit hosts with a spirit torment for reroll 1 to hit you can do some mortal wounds. And if you use lightshard of a harvest moon on a guardian of souls to reroll all failed hit rolls then we are really talking mortal wounds. A nice thing with nighthaunt is that they are fast and easy to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Hosts and Hexes are both quite points spendy, and are still sold as the Malignant boxed set. Both perform fairly well and Hexes recently got a modest pointcost drop, but both also require some support to be more than passibly effective.

Maridius Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Lets try this here Hello guys, started to get interested in AoS this week so I bought some tools, paint and the starter Storm Strike set. Really interested in building a Nighthaunt army but dont know how . Watched some videos on youtube, but didnt find any build for an army just some tips. Only thing I got from that was that the armies can be summoned . So do you guys have any tips on how to build a decent nighthaunt army? Any advice is appreciated, because it can be really complicated when building a first army. Thank you in advance. P.S. Please dont give me answers such as: buy the models which you like the most, buy evrything etc. I want to try this army and improve it later on as much as I can.
