Xasto Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 New member here! Just joined for the Nighthaunt forum! I already play Seraphon, Tzeentch and Beastclaw Raiders/ Mixed D! What do you guys think of this list? I think it has a good mix of staying power with the chainrasps and striking power with the Blades. Let me know! comp Nighthaunt_.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renwok Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hey team, another fresh face here! I've recently boarded the spooky train (coach) and have signed up for a 1250 point tournament next week (despite having never actually played a game), I had a few questions regarding tactics. My list for interest: Heroes Knight of Shrouds on Steed Guardian of Souls Executioner Spirit Torment Battleline Chain Rasp x20 Chain Rasp x20 Grimghast Reapers x20 Other Myrnmourn Banshees x4 Glaivewraith Stalkers x4 Battalion Chainguard Total 1200 My questions with regards to tactics are as follows: Is it possible for me to position my Guardian of souls inside a unit of Chainrasp so long as they all retain their one inch coherency? (Imagine having the chainrasps positioned as a donut) - I imagine this would help with protecting him from enemy Melee attacks while getting the Look Out Sir bonus against melee. Perhaps if I had the Guardian in one donut and the Spirit Torment in another then they could keep their support auras up without dying, plus the ability to fly allows them to GTFO if things start getting dicey. Second question is with regards to Relics and Artefacts, is taking the midnight tome on my Knight of Shrouds a good way to go and how many relics/artefacts can I take at a 1250 point limit game? Third question, I have two Guardians of souls after acquiring two Soul Wars boxes, am I able to run two in the same army? I'm not sure how this works with non-named heroes and whether or not there can be duplicates. Any help would be appreciated, cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yes you can "bubble wrap" your heroes and it is an effective tactic, more so with fly! Yes the mKoS is a great choice for the Midnight Tome (as is the Torment if your Knight starts getting targeted a lot in games) Remember as you have a battalion you do get a second relic; Pendant of the Fell Wind is a very solid choice, or the Slitter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can do that. Only named characters are one-only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renwok Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ah, that's awesome. In that case, does the Nightmare Lantern passive from two Guardian of Souls stack? As in, if a unit is in within 12 inches of two GoS do they get +2 to their wound rolls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenson Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 RAW suggests yes. However, most of our best unit already wound on 3+ so it's not very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 20 at 1,000 points. Generally people think they are not worth their points. I disagree but I am one of the odd ball opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neck-Romantic Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 When I've taken them they have performed well, but like Spirit Hosts they suffer from the way our healing/ressurection works differently from LoN. Torments will bring none back on rolls of 1 or 2, and rolls of 5+ are a waste, while Guardians bring back none on a 1, still only 1 model on a roll of 3, and only 2 models on a roll of 5. Just seems strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people have had luck with them as a core part of the army, but on paper they seem better at being used as a flanking force due to their speed and wound count. They're capable of grabbing objectives and hunting down lone, small heroes. Here's a different question, or rather, scenario for you all: Two of my buddies and I are getting together next weekend to play our first game/s of AoS. While I sold my old WHFB army to start Nighthaunt, they'll be making a force out of their former armies (Vampire Counts and High Elves). So a couple questions with this. What do you think is a good battleplan to start off using? My one buddy will likely be putting one of his Frostheart Phoenixes in his list. What's a good way to deal with that? My force will consist of models that I currently have, which include: Reikenor + Cogs Guardian of Souls 10 Chainrasp 20 Grimghast Reapers 10 Dreadscythe Harridans 8 Myrmourn Banshees I'm planning to only bring 4 Myrmourn banshees to make the points work, but I can always change my mind if they're the best bet against the phoenix.

Not clear if it has special rules yet. The official Italian sigmar fb page replied to a comment asking if it had special rules and they said it didn't, but it doesn't make sense to release a special model without rules.

Neck-Romantic Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I would be a bit disappointed if it had no special rules, one lone Revenant will just kinda throw off your model count, yaknow?

dmorley21 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 At a minimum I hope she counts as a unit champion and gets an extra attack with her other weapon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevar Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Looks like conversion fodder for another Guardian of Souls or Knight of Shrouds, don't know why I would ever use this as an alternate Bladegeist... the boxes come with full units...

Kirjava13 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Will be a tiny bit annoying if the Spess Mehreens get a handy character model and we get... one of ten Bladegheists. Still getting it because she's an incredible model I have to own, but... that's a wee tad aggravating.

Vasshpit Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I like her. I'll buy her. I'll paint her. She'll slaughter my enemies. Its a fantastic sculpt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrmourns need a lot of babysitting and buffing to be effective, which is super annoying. What point size is the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
