Hello again. Did really apprichiate your thoughts, guys! Helped me already a lot!
I’ve got your point and I’m totaly in to this challange! That’s how I enjoy playing the tabletop in general. So it’s more about movement and maneuverability than dealing damage, alright. Due to that fact, I will sureley make some tweeks.
You mentioned my Shroudguard: The list contains 20 and 10 Revenents, not 4 groups of 5 Revenents and 1 of 10. Probably a misunderstanding cause I used Battlescribe for creating the list (the last time though. 40k habit).
So here is a second try. I did include the Dreadblade and restructured my Battleline. This forced me to cut on the Revenants. I also switched the KoS for Reikenor and dropped the Endless Spell. Not sure about that move. I also got one artefact left.
SpoilerAllegiance: Nighthaunt
Leaders
Dreadblade Harrow (90)
- General
- Trait: Ruler of the Spirit Hosts
Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
- Lore of the Underworlds: Shademist
- Infernal Lantern (Artefact): Wychlight Lantern
Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief (200)
- Lore of the Underworlds: Spectral Tether
Spirit Torment (120)
Reikenor the Grimhailer (170)
- Lore of the Underworlds: Soul Cage
Battleline
30 x Grimghast Reapers (420)
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
Units
10 x Bladegheist Revenants (180)
10 x Bladegheist Revenants (180)
Battalions
Shroudguard (110)
Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 123
However, alternatively I could bring 20 Reapers and 20 and 10 Revenants and switch the KoS/Reikenor back again (and still lose the Endless Spell).Furthermore: Do I really need the Shroudguard Battalion? What about adding a Chainguard instead (already have the units for it in the list). The list could look like this:
SpoilerAllegiance: Nighthaunt
Leaders
Dreadblade Harrow (90)
- General
- Trait: Ruler of the Spirit Hosts
Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
- Lore of the Underworlds: Shademist
- Infernal Lantern (Artefact): Wychlight Lantern
Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief (200)
- Lore of the Underworlds: Spectral Tether
Spirit Torment (120)
Battleline
30 x Grimghast Reapers (420)
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
Units
10 x Bladegheist Revenants (180)
10 x Bladegheist Revenants (180)
Battalions
Chainguard (120)
Total: 1840 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 116
This way I would have more units to shift around with the Dreadblade Harrow (the Revenants don't need to stick with the KoS) and have 160pts left.@punkycloud
What do you mean with fell wind pennant? The Chronomatic Cogs though sounds great! -
Hey guys!
Age of Sigmar Freshman here, starting out with Nighthaunt at 2000 points. I‘m going to play in a very competitive environment, so I want to get the most out of my attempt. Due to the fact I‘m pretty new to the game (not to tabletop or competitive play in general), I will definitly need some help.
Some facts beforehand:
- I want to stay with the Nighthaunt for now and not playing as Legion of Grief. Nagash allies could be a thing though
- It‘s not all about winning (i.e. copycat lists). I rather enjoy the process of getting the most out of an army over time
- I have played only one game so far, so I‘m lacking practical experience in general and probably even basic skills. However, this is a huge part when it comes to building proper lists. So keep this in mind: anything I come up with now, is based on pure theorycrafting after reading the battletome
Spoiler++ **Pitched Battle** 2,000 (Death - Nighthaunt) [2,000pts] ++
+ Leader +
Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern [140pts]: 3. Beacon of Nagashizzar, 6. Spectral Tether, Chill Blade
Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief [220pts]: 3. Lifestealer
Spirit Torment [120pts]
+ Battleline +
Chainrasp Horde [280pts]: 4x 10 Chainrasps
Grimghast Reapers [160pts]: 10 Grimghast Reapers
Grimghast Reapers [160pts]: 10 Grimghast Reapers
Grimghast Reapers [160pts]: 10 Grimghast Reapers
+ Battalion +
Battalion: Shroudguard [730pts]
. Bladegheist Revenants: 2x 5 Bladegheist Revenants
. Bladegheist Revenants: 4x 5 Bladegheist Revenants
. Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed: 6. Ruler of the Spirit Host, General
. . 5. Midnight Tome: 5. Shademist
+ Malign Sorcery +
Endless Spell: Prismatic Palisade [30pts]
++ Total: [2,000pts] ++
The Shroudguard will be my core force. The Knight of Shrouds is buffed up by his trait, ability and artefact to make the Bladegheist Revenants even more durable. The Spirit Torment is boosting their offensive output.
Grimghast Reapers strike out of reserve, harassing the opponent in his deployment zone and/or contest objectives
Lady Olynder is backed up by my Chainrasp Horde and the Guardian of Souls. Prismatic Pallisade for extra protection.
So what do you think? For me (the noob) this sounds like a solid approach. I know, Nighthaunt is not top tier right now, but as I mentioned before, this is not about winning at all costs. It‘s more about creating a proper list that could work in general.
Would be awesome if you could spare some thoughts about the list and point out its weaknesses or some possible improvements. Thanks in advance!
Starting Nighthaunt: First Approach (Help needed)

I think I'm getting closer to execute some orders now. Much appreciate your writing, thanks a lot again! @Thamalys
Still, some further questions" came up.
What about the combo Gryph-feather Charm + Cloaked in Shadow on the Dreadblade Harrow? He's kinda key, as you all have referred. This way he would get additional protection. Or is Ruling of the Spirit Hosts better, regardless of fielding the actual Spirit Hosts?
But besides all those Artefacts, Traits and Spells the different units can get. The models for their own will make the army, everything else is more or less changeable and will most definitly vary from now and then, while I make my first experiences. So in the end, after a little shopping excess, I will call following units my own (and not all of them have to be bought) :
- Lady Olynder
- Dreadblade Harrow, 2x
- Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed
- Guardian of Souls
- Lord Executioner
- Spirit Torment
- Chainrasp Horde, 40x
- Grimghast Reapers, 20x
- Hexwraiths, 5x
- Spirit Hosts; 3x
- Bladegheist Revenants, 20x
- Black Coach (indeed, it looks pretty cool! @punkycloud 😊)
- Malign Sorcery Endless Spells
From that point, to buy another 10-30 Spirit Hosts, Hexwraiths, Revenants or Stalkers etc. won't be a big step. 😅 I think this is more than a solid starting point. Finally, another list:
Allegiance: Nighthaunt
Mortal Realm: Ghur
Leaders
Dreadblade Harrow (90)
- General
- Trait: Cloaked in Shadow
- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm
Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief (200)
