    Might be situations where they are the only things in range/hurt for torment heals *shrug*

    Also; does anyone have access to the planar relics? I was thinking of trying to stack bravery debuffs in a list

    Yeah I was thinking with shackles and Queenie you could do a pretty effective flanking force, try to practically root their Vanguard or flank and come at them from the other side...

    If all else fails she is a nice Tomb Banshee substitute and the rasps can just be rank and file.

    I was hoping for a Terrorgeist boosted banshee scream on something in the nighthaunt release, like a mourngul variant or special character... or even a regular 2d6 banshee scream with reroll but no avail!

    Good points.

    Also since her vortex is an aoe she can have a use in larger games too if you plonk it down in the center of a phalanx.

    Question; would either her ability or shackles work on a unit's already reduced speed? Say your shackes snare a 12" move unit, bringing it down to 6"...would her spell then roll according to the reduced speed to bring it to 3? Or be rolling against the original 12?

    In essence you get her and 6 Chainwrasps for 10 less points than a tomb banshee and 10 chainwrasps.

    I'm not sure what to think. The rending scream isnt bad, but has a much lower damage threshold over a Tomb Banshee, and her spell seems like it will only work reliably half the time, and yet more overpriced chainwrasp fodder that you cant max unit size...

    Something here Im not seeing?

    Usually the best method of dealing with OP stuff is to either ignore it or bog it down with cannon fodder

    Also; a while back people were saying Spectral Summons was a Command Trait and hence didnt use a command point... its a Nighthaunt Battle Trait but the entry is still listed as a "Command Ability" would that not still cost a point?

    Perhaps have the Coach itself charging support heroes as its accompaning Hexwraiths plow into the flank?

    Or give it the soulreach grasp and take pot shots at people as it speeds by?

    The main use I saw for it was a support for a large fast flanking force, trying to overpower each unit you run into in 1 round

    The black coach is probably one of the best entries in our book, and benefits from all of our army-buffs.

    I dont have my LoN book in front of me so Im not sure how much the CT costs pointwise or how much it would perform alongside our ghosts

    Holy cr@p, Reikenor's entire body and scythe are only connected to the model via his one wrist holding the reigns to his steed. 

    Ended up cutting some wraith-cloak bits off my glavewraiths from the starter set (which will never see the light of day) to make some additional stabilizer cloak strips connecting his body to the horse. No way his wrist was going to survive transport and table play, maybe not even painting

    So it does. Damnit.

    (At work so didnt have the book to check these things)

    All things considered if the *trait* takes no command point I would give it the edge in certain situations as I usually find myself starved for command points
