Maybe a new Warcry box is Chaos vs. Sylvaneth, hence two banners?

We should expect a new Nighthaunt hero.

Tomb Banshee, Cairn Wraith, Executioner, Spirit Torment, Guardian of Souls, Knight of Shrouds all for 200pts, and they drop all at once.

...and they all will be exclusively available in a limited board game from now on.

Do we all ignore that his ability is restricted to non-DEATH units? I can't imagine a tournament player will calculate the efficiency of the ability without taking into consideration that it will be completely useless against certain matchups. Casual players will probably won't touch it aswell if there's a lot of DEATH armies in their local meta.

So if Nighthaunt will be a strong army, the Scriptor Mortis will be a bad choice and if Nighthaunt will stay weak he'll a bad choice aswell because taking Nighthaunt will be a bad choice.

Do I have to say

"This unit going is to record the name of a judged soul!"

Seems a bit melodramatic...

Can you please stop?

Paint dark skin, add tiger pelts, golden ornaments and savannah bases if you want an ethnic look. Don't misuse this hobby to be degrading.

Has a new hexwraith kit been spotted? If so, I missed that leak. 

No, I misread.

Nighthaunt have such a wide range of kits, I'd be really (and pleasantly) surprised if they get anything beyond the new boxed set hero and crossbowmen unit. 

...and Hexwraiths.

I really like that new Idoneth cover. 

I really like that Nighthaunt cover.

I'll buy a collector's edition again though. The red frame doesn't match the artwork.

Several people on this very forum argued that it DOESN'T work that way, and said we were "exploiting crappy wording to gain an advantage" at the time. 

So? What's the point of your argument? Empowering Excruciation negating wounds and mortal wounds was intended.

Funny you mention that, the Cruciator was FAQ'd to work the way we all understood it to work, ie, giving a 5+ Ward for everything, not just MWs.

So... like intended?

Doesn't matter how the emerald host ability is worded.  Nagash explicitly does not benefit from allegiance abilities, as part of his own rules.  No hexwraith bodyguard for him.

This will be a Krulghast Cruciator-like debate again, right?

Don't exploit the crappy wording and play RAI. It's probably not intended for Nagash to benefit from this ability.

PS:  Currently working on hexwraith conversions with Dreadblade bodies and Grimghast arms, but that's expensive, so I'll probably only build one unit with the spare Reaper parts I already have.

Kavalos Deathriders are already Nagash-themed. New Deathrattle Skeletons with halberds would probably make good horseman.

Nighthaunt don't have any other WIZARD HERO MONSTER

Nighthaunt can already ally powerful Soulblight Gravelords heroes like Mannfred or Radukar + Dire Wolves.

What yould a Nighthaunt list with Nagash's new warscroll look like? https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/XTPR7PzBSVcNAAOd.pdf

Also, can we all appreciate that daemon prince conversion? Inspirational that’s what that is.

It's a really great idea. I actually even like the wings for some reason.

Spirit Hosts feel like 6 so they have a better chance of surviving to take advantage of the "revive models" mechanics with their 3 wounds. But they do have coherency issues then, so maybe 3s?

Don't forget that you are allowed to take five.

I am a bit shocked that the large starter doesn't contain the full hardcover rulebook

GW did a great job to normalize bulky and impractical rule books to create more profit. Now people are shocked that they get their rules in a convenient booklet.

but for me personally he is a bit too expensive for me to ever include in my lists.

But that's not relevant for a beginner guide. The guide already lists a lot of Nighthaunt units that are a bit too expensive to ever include in my lists, but they need to be mentioned.

I'm surprised you didn't include Mannfred in your allies list.

I was surprised, too. But @EnixLHQ asked for help to create a list of the allies and only @Landohammer seemingly wrote a list that fitted the guide and he left Mannfred out. When you paraphrase your argument, he'll probably include it as well. Radukar the Beast woudn't be "the most expansive entry" in this list anymore.

Yep. This was probably one of our only true gains with 3rd edition. Soulblight has some fantastic units and it really gives us some tools, specifically the monsters and Radukar the Beast.
