I generally really like AoS Coach and Sotek is clearly a passionate Nighthaunt player but I was scratching my head more than a few times watching that video.
Thanks Rors.
I will say one thing here that I haven't already addressed in the comments section of the YouTube video.Live talking about your lists is tough and without pausing the discussion to bring up warscrolls, we're prone to error or remembering things incorrectly. He isn't the first and won't be the last to say the wrong thing on YouTube. We've since made a post below the video with a few of the errors we've picked up.
I picked Sotek because he's not only a very passionate Nighthaunt player but also because he's been playing them since 2e, has been running them in local events in 3e, and has been getting a fair amount of reps in between TTS and IRL.
Some of the errors slid in because my computer has been on the way out. Normally I have the relevant documents like warscrolls on my browser so I can check in the moment to keep the guest talking but this week I had to stop doing that. That's on me for not helping my guest.
Despite some of the errors, I will say it's still a relevant and interesting way of looking at Nighthaunt. I'm used to players pairing up their units in pairs or trios. I can also appreciate listening you were probably a little frustrated hearing some mistakes wishing you could correct us.
Anyway, thanks for listening to my TED Talk. This won't be the only Nighthaunt video I'll do on AoS Coach

It’s Anthony / AoS Coach 😁
I’m not busting your chops on the data mate. If somebody wants to make a claim that playtesters gain a significant advantage, I believe it’s up to them to prove it via data, not you lads defending yourselves with data.
I’m sure there are some examples where a unit gained a significant benefit that wasn’t already strong in the meta. Witch Aelves is the first that comes to mind. Did a play tester get the DoK jump by having 90-120 ready upon release? I doubt a Dark Elf player ever had that many. As an example.
The big consideration is if the play tester even got to use their “advantage”. You might have playtested Tzeentch but did that play tester play with Tzeentch or even face them at a tournament post-release?
Like I mentioned earlier, I’m not too bothered because playtesters don’t play at events where I live. It doesn’t impact me but I can see how people locally might perceive advantage and be frustrated. How do you solve it, ban playtesters from events? That’s a poor outcome that I don’t think many want to see. Do event organisers enforce different rules for you? Again, I don’t think that’s fair either.

Interesting topic raised @Jack Armstrong.
First, i’d love to define “advantage”. At its core, prior knowledge before the market is an advantage, no matter the tournament outcome. There could be an argument that you could have done worse without that knowledge.
I imagine your problem statement is more focused on if being a play tester improves your chances of winning a tournament because of prior experience with battletomes before public release.
The challenge is that to be a play tester you must have proven yourself to be successful competitive prior to joining as a play tester. I’m not sure if there has been a play tester who joined the team without winning an event or consistent high performer to see such a spike in from play testers “advantage”.
I’d say more data is required, especially looking at performances at tournaments within the first few months of a play tested battle tome is released. Through the play tester experience was it quicker to find the optimum build, to gain the tactical knowledge to pilot, to have the models built and ready for an event after release.
BTW I actually don’t care. I thank you all for your hard work and dedication to putting out the best product with your limited influence.

Just recorded a discussion with Dayne Thompson who came 16 of 219 at CanCon 2020 with Daughters of Khaine... and not even Hagg Nar. Hope DoK players find it valuable;

Some of you may find Faction Focus: Cities of Sigmar valuable. The video is 4 hours long and I've time stamped the best I could in the episode description. Between a human, aelf & duardin player... we attempt to deconstruct the book as best as possible, and to be honest; we could have done another 2+ hours.

Awesome overview of the faction. Thanks for making it!
Also, shout out to the Aethercast Podcast mentioned in the video. It's a KO specific podcast, so I'm guessing many people on this forum would like it.
Agreed! Definitely work checking this podcast out... it's rock solid

I’m the player that took CCBB! I’ll try to post a quick recap but I’ll be on Aethercast Saturday to discuss the event. Feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer them later tonight!
Congrats mate! I saw you streaming with CanKrohn recently too... solid insights

Will the LoN be done as separate factions for the 6 armies in the book, or as a generic overall single focus?
We'll treat the Legions as sub-faction (Chambers, Temples, Sky Ports) which is essentially what they are

Thanks for the advice guys!
The list I was considering:
Mannfred
VLoZD
Guardian of Souls
Necromancer
30 Chainrasp Horde
5 Direwolves
5 Direwolves
30 Grimghast Reapers
Suffocating Gravetide spell
Soulsnare Shackles spell
@MrCharisma do you think the Terrorgheist is a better damage dealer/threat than the Reapers? I could drop the spells, Guardian of souls and 10 less Reapers and be close to the Terrorgheist points.
I think the threats are different, so it depends on your style.
I like to set up a massive kick in the groin to my opponent, with my attacking units all charging in at one turn. I remember in one round of combat I was able to kill 140 clan rats.
The Terrorgheist can hit pretty hard and act independent, but your other models like the Reapers have a higher resilience and can be summoned back.

@MrCharisma I'm assuming that there will be some Death based faction focuses as well? Seeing as fringe armies like free peoples are getting some attention, will we see stuff like a Soulblight faction focus or will LoN be a combo of all 6 of the Death armies in the book?
I’ve got Legions of Nagash organised for 2 weeks time, and scheduling my FEC guests have been a nightmare.
Ideally i’ll get at least 1 of FEC/Nighthaunt done in Sept and the other in October. Just dependant on my guest schedules.

Just in case you missed it, a few weeks ago I recorded Faction Focus Disciples of Tzeentch with two highly skilled DoT Changlings: Mick Wendel & Dan Cockran. Yes... there is more to DoT than Changehost, so we talk about list building, customising the force through spells/artefacts/traits, and getting the most out of them on the tabletop.

Just in case you missed it, a few weeks ago I recorded a deep dive into the Slaves to Darkness allegiance with two dedicated undivided champions of Chaos in Travis Cooper & Shaun Ratcliffe. It isn't easy staying undivided and these two Champions talk through building a list, customising that focus with your traits & artefacts, and general tactics.

Just in case you missed it, I caught up with 3 fantastic KO players in Gary Percival, Alexander Krohn & Ben Spinetti in this Faction Focus. These Sky Admirals talk through both the foundations of building a great army, customising it with command traits/artefacts/etc, and tactics.

Just in case you missed it, last night I recorded Faction Focus: Sylvaneth 2.0 with long standing & successful Sylvaneth tournament players: Laurie Huggett-Wilde, Chris Welfare, Dan Street & Liam Burnett-Blue. The show runs for 3.5hrs and is a deep dive into building a list, the Groves, customsing that force, and tactical advice. I know the original video was useful to many so I hope this one adds equal value...

Hi there! New player, and I love Mannfred’s model so looking at Legion of Night. A Discord chat pointed me to @MrCharisma and then this community for possible help with my army setup.
I know it’s not super-competitive but I’m hoping that I can put something together to still do well with.
What I have:
Mannfred, Necromancer, VLoZD, Guardian of Souls, Knight of Shrouds rider+mount, Spirit Torment, 30 Grimghast Reapers, 30 chainghast revenants, 10 direwolves, 4 myrmourn banshees, dreadblade harrows.
I can get Vargheists pretty easily and could build 10 skeletons and 5 black knights/Hexwraiths.
My ears are burning! G'day Nick.
As much as I wanted to run Vargheist (and I did try), it was hard to walk past Morghast Harbringers with their 3d6 charge.
You've got an interesting list which can definitely work. Along with my VLonZD I ran a Terrorgheist because that VLonZD isn't enough damage, and Mannfred really needs to pick his fights and support with his command ability.

Sotek sent it through to me, and I saw it on Facebook which was a link to Reddit which linked to here 🤣. I'll be checking it out soon. Great job on expanding the topic, and for those who are providing a counter argument.
I've always believed there is no right or wrong with this game. You take what you like and construct your own thoughts.
