Hello, I don't know if we can play the GOS with Mortality Glass in the legion of grief.

It's write Nighthaunt but it's for the Keyword Nighthaunt or about the army ?

The Gos with MS doesn't appearin the pitched battle profil of Nighthaunt but as the keyword ?

So am I refer only to the keyword or to the nighaunt army ?

[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

I'm very sad to know that the GOS with the Mortaly Glass is illegal in pitched battle cause its profil doesn't appear in the pitched battle profil from the GHB2019. It's only playable in LON .

can you use at the same time the command trait to win a CP on 5 + and the artefact of hysh the Brooch ?

A miss timing maybe ?

Which unit seems to be the best Body Guard for olynder in your opinion ?

Quote

Yes, that list is 5 drops, as you can deploy the battalion as a single drop with some units on the table and some units in the underworld. Personally I think that the rasps aren't the best bodyguard for Lady O, but the only way to know is to play the list

Hi Everyone, 

 I would like to share with you an army list that I would like to build. 

I don't really know if this list can be competitive. I would like to have your thoughts about it.

Thank you in advance.

Allegiance : Nighthaunt

Realms : Ulgu 

Leaders : 

- Lady Olynder Mortach of the grief (240)  Life stealer 

- Spirit Torment (120) + Talisman of the watcher

- Knight of shrouds (120) + Sword of Jugdement 

- Guardian of souls (140) + Wychlight lanterns  or Midnight Tome Soul cage

Units : 

- Bladegheist Revenant x 20 (320)

-Bladegheist Revenant x 5 (90)

- Chainrasp Horde x 40 (280)

- Chainrasp Horde x 20 (160)

- Chainrasp Horde x 10 (80)

- Chainghast x 2 (80)

Bataillons :

Shroudguards (110)

Condemned (150)

Extra PC  : 4 

How to deploy ? I would like to deploy Olynder with 20 chainrasp which will be her body guard. The Guardian of souls & The chainghast into 40 chainrasp horde. Finally 20 Bladegheist with the spirit torment and the knight of shrouds. The others unit stay in the underworld

The Main objective is to be able to take fast the objective and keep them under my control with buffed units to counter attack because of rerolls.

Is it possible with 5 step to conclude my deployment ?

Now I know many of you don’t care much about the Lord Executioner and the Executioner Horde battalion and since I don’t care much for tournements I might be all noob about this but have any of you considered arming the Lord Executioner with the Blade of Endings? Combined with the EH battalion that turns the LE into a mean fella with 3 attacks at+2 dam for each 5+ to hit or 6 to wound? Combine that with Lady Olynder’s spell and its 4+ to hit.

Not sure about the math here but the Blade of Endings alone gives him a max damage output of 24! At rend -2. 

In all fairness the max damage hit probably happen on the samme day you accidentaly stumble upon a million bucks left and forgotten while someone discovered a cure for cancer and a simple solution on how to end global warming just by getting rid of mosqeetoes and printers. On that very day your boss will award your employee of the month and your girlfriend will tell your that she always wanted you to kiss with her twinsister. However none of this won’t steal you away from that special moment when a simple 80pt Lord Executioner murdered 12 Stormcast  in a single combat! 

For the Lord Excutioner and Execution Horde battalion case. I play Lord Excutioner with the artifact "Sword of Judgement". Thanks to the battalion on 5 + D6 Mortal wounds on Heroes or Behemoths.

Getting 20 models in with an 8" fly is not a huge deal even with 1" reach. The problem with running 10 or 15 is that they wont hurt what they kill very much, which means they'll get hit back harder, and your unit is smaller to start with = less models left to keep on fighting, and/or not enough models left to take advantage of retreat+charge next turn into a juicy easy pickings unit. Also getting the last 5 for almost half points makes taking 15 hella inefficient.

I think a unit of 10 is probably playable for flank objectives if you want to fill the battalion cheaply and/or need somewhere to shave points, but outside of the battalion 10 Grimghasts would do that job better. I wouldnt want to be putting 10 of them into a main line of battle.

I will be interested by a "Tactica" thread with your point of view about this new Nighthaunt models

I've got a newbie question : To apply the Battletraits which allows us to set up a previously destroyed unit on a 4 + . Each oppenent miniatures should be killed in battle or you can still apply it even some warrior had run away?
