    I was doing the same last week, the past few had been out on the wednesday 2 and a half weeks after their release. Suppose forbidden power probably has a lot more questions though.

    I hope it is out today though, it would make sense to be out before their next large release. As they have promised an errata in july with additional point changes for newer battletomes, I doubt they want to have more than just that on their plate after this weekend

    I was expecting this last week- but I feel now we may not see it until the July digital download FAQ around the newer factions points!  But lets hope its sooner, although Im loving moving after taking a unit in Lauchon (which surely gets nerfed)

    Now when the reviews of the ghb2019 are out it time to build some lists. With the grimghasts going up in points we need to revaluate the alternatives. More skeletons instead or maybe graveguards (cheaper now). 

    At least our heroes got cheaper excluding the necro. 

    Are chainrasps an alternative to the now more expensive wolves?

    I've always been a big fan of Bladegheist over Grimghast- and with the point difference being so small now and the ability to get them to pile in twice and attack with the Neromancer- plus a charge that's 6 attacks a piece in a single phase!!!!

    Chainrasp are  a good alternative but do a very different job for me than wolves- I like the wolves movement to grab objectives early and the rasps to bog things down.  So an argument for taking both.

     

    I played a 600point game (tiny i know) last week and the dreadblade as general (Gryph feather her too) teleporting to grave-sites to bring things back and cap objectives was a complete must for me just like @Qrow suggested.  And just to back up the harridans point I've been running 20 in a 2000point nighthaunt list since the start, those 3 attacks on 4's and 3's- especially with a torment nearby to re roll ones is solid!

    General idea is to use Flesheater Court mercenaried to make up for the fact we cannot have Terrorgheists. Archregent gives us access to 3 "free" Crypt Flayers if they are good (For only 30 points more than 3 Flayers) or 20 dudes to pseudo deep strike onto objectives if the enemy has a strong Bravery game. Add Cadaverous Barricade and the idea is to use this endless spells to funnel enemies into a position to be bravery bombed.

    Necromancer sits in the blob of Skellies, Guardian sits with the Reapers.

    Lord Executioner is technically our tankiest hero so he holds the Brooch to try and recoup spent command points and also becomes an important-to-kill support hero with the bravery debuff aura.

    If you want to lean harder into bravery and don't like Pallisade, you can drop the wolves for another 10 skeletons, but I think the extra wall + utility of a fast moving, expendable objective holder is superior.

    Leaders

    ●Abhorrent Archregent - 200 pts
    ●Guardian of Souls, Nightmare Lantern - 140
    ●Necromancer - 110 pts
    ●Tomb Banshee - 80 pts
    ●Tomb Banshee - 80 pts
    ●Lord Executioner - 80 pts (Aetherquartz Brooch, General, Tragic Emanations)
    Leaders

    Battleline
    ■Skeleton Warriors x 40 - 280 pts
    ■Skeleton Warriors x 10 - 80 pts
    ■Dire Wolf x 5 - 60 pts
    Battleline

    Other
    □Dreadscythe Harridan x 15 - 270 pts
    □Grimghast Reaper x 20 - 280 pts
    □Crypt Flayers x 3 - 170 pts

    Endless Spells
    ◇Horrorghast - 60 pts
    ◇Cadaverous Barricade - 30 pts
    ◇Prismatic Pallisade - 30 pts

    1,950/2,000 pts, 1 extra CP

    Just remeber you wont get the First round command point with Mercs in your army- making the recouping of Cp super important from round2 onwards to bring back units!

    The flayers idea is one i played with- but hadnt considered an Archregent- like it 👍🏼

    Not sure if posting the actual pics is permitted...

    Also; saved all images 🤣

    Traits are all solid, relics are subpar; most likely always take -1 hit missile, 2 of 3 spells great (8+ to cast on bravery bomb? Good god)

    Neither was I- bit if it gets removed maybe a few will of grabbed it first hehe

    Yeah I like the idea of it- and it could run brilliantly without Olynder and the bravery nukes.

    But I really want to be taking her- especially as her 'Lifting the veil' is a free resource against lower bravery and she is a double caster, thats before you ention it being her Legion!

    I mean we have Reiknor to reliably cast that bravery spell but it just feels odd.

    Sadly it has the exact same wording as the other legions, so if you take olynder you must make her your general.

    And yeah, it is extremely counterintuitive

    Well that seems weirdly dumb!

    So we take a bravery nuking army to help olynder and tomb banshess/harridans hit hard and we get penalised before release?  Theres gotta be more to this surely???????

    Quick question about the Command Traits: if I want to play with Olynder she must be the general right? So is there a way to give the command trait that gives -2 to the enemy bravery to someone else in the army?

    My understanding on the way it was read out- bear in mind I havent seen it myself- is that she only has to be the general if you take any 'Other' Mortachs.

    Otherwise it reads as though she can be there but not the general- but Im sure this will get an FAQ fast, however doing this negates the bravery bomb and seems weird

    Scenary is gonna need a limit too, some factions could now run 2pieces- 3if you count idoneths ship as 2 already.

    This could seriously start to fill a table and limit the sometimes already difficult 9" away movements

    I dont mind if Rasps are battleline- but id love to see hosts become battleline too!

    Looks like i may need another 20rasps to meet the minimum 3battleline now though- and then ill be running 3lots of 20. 

    Im really not gonna drop cash on skeles just to see how this plays out. But the bravery is good if i can battleline NH

    I'm surprised we haven't had any further info on this today yet- seemed like a big deal for the box and some info on the 'Legion of Grief' would of surely helped pre-orders.

    I know it would have helped them get mine
