[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

I've been thinking on how to change the Mortal Rain list from @EnixLHQ now that we have response from GW about the Dolorous Guard battalion. This is my proposal:

 

Allegiance: Nighthaunt

LEADERS

Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (130) - Lore of the Underworlds : Shademist

Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief (200) - Lore of the Underworlds : Soul Cage

Reikenor the Grimhailer (160) - Lore of the Underworlds : Lifestealer

Spirit Torment (120) - General - Command Trait : Ruler of the Spirit Hosts - Artefact : Pendant of the Fell Wind 

UNITS 40 x Chainrasp Horde (280)

5 x Hexwraiths (130)

5 x Hexwraiths (130)

9 x Spirit Hosts (360)

10 x Grimghast Reapers (160)

BEHEMOTHS

Black Coach (220)

ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS

Prismatic Palisade (30)

Chronomantic Cogs (80) TOTAL: 2000/2000 WOUNDS: 133 LEADERS: 4/6 BATTLELINES: 5 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 1/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4 ARTEFACTS: 1/1 ENDLESS SPELLS: 2/3 ALLIES: 0/400

The idea behind this list is using Chronomantic Cogs (with the +3 from Reikenor) so we can move the Hexwraiths 17" on movement phase (12 from the characteristic, +3 from the Pendant and +2 from the Cogs). With this idea in mind, along with our Black Coach, we can surprise our opponent and put our calvalry right where we need it and make a charge, so we can even kill an unit while our blob of Spirit Host are already advancing. 

Meanwhile, we'll hold Olynder with 10 Grimreapers as a bait, so our opponent can't commit a side due to our ability to deepstrike. Besides, this pack are both a threat, and a distraction. 

Our first priority should be getting objectives and doing some charges so we can lower their numbers, and try to outplay our opponent with our high mobility. 

Even failing with the casting of the Cogs, we are moving 15" with the hexwraiths, and their priority should be to engage the enemy so they can't move while we score points from other objectives. 

I"ll try this list next week, but any ideas are welcome! 

[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

I tried the Mortal Rain list today from @EnixLHQ and it was a blast. I won a major victory against Stormcast Eternal (because he failed a charge I have to say) 

I think that one of the strongest things in the list is that all our units are battle line, so we can easily fight for the objectives in case it says that it has to be claimed with a battle line. 

Any advices on how to drop from the underworld? I left on reserve reikenor, 2 units of 5 hexwraith, olynder and 10 chainrasps. Do you think is better to keep hexwraith on the underworld?  Or to set them with the rest of the army?

Warscroll builder has been updated and the WD batallions are still there! 

[Flying and Line of Sight]

Hi guys, 

I play nighthaunt, so all my units can fly.  My question is if I can see an enemy unit (or an allied) even if something is blocking my LoS (terrain, endless spells like Prismatic Palisade...) 

[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

Can we expect any changes to warscroll profiles (such as buffing some units) from the GH20 or the changes are usually point cost oriented? 

 

[New Years Hobby Resolution 2020]

2019 was the year I went back to the hobby, and I managed to finish Soul Wars, Legion of Blood Battleforce, 5 Bloodletters and 5 Flesh Hounds from the Wrath & Rapture set. 

I'd like to finish in 2020 Wrath & Rapture, Looncurse, Slaves to Darkness Battleforce and Daughter's of Khaine Battleforce. 

Let's see what happens. 

[Battleforce 2019 speculations]

I was wondering if it was a good idea to buy the Skaven battleforce since the announce of the new Chaos Warrior. Do you think Clanrats and Plague Monks are going to be replaced in a few years? I think those kits are a bit old and maybe is a good idea to wait since I have a lot of backlog to paint.

Someone is coming...

It seems like there will be 2 weeks of CSM according to the community site, so let's hope we get something  new to AoS after that (Darkoath?)
