That actually makes a lot of sense, and I'll be running this by my friends when we play, if we unanimously agree then it seems reasonable to play it that way unless stated otherwise by GW.

Yeah I agree completely, Nighthaunt suffers from no CP generation, so I think a "support" hero with some CP generation on a 4+ would have been an auto include in most lists. Also I was not expecting that comment to blow up I really hope GW addresses the 5+ wound vs mortal would negation in a FAQ asap.

I wasn't aware that the 5+ didn't include mortal wounds, that is a shame. While I do appreciate your insight, I'd still like to test this hero out on the table without completely dismissing him just yet.

I think between the two new subfactions I'm leaning more toward Reikenor's Condemned from a competitive standpoint, with some back up battalion support I think we could see some effective play from Nighthaunt now. List: Allegiance/Subfaction: Reikenor’s Condemned Leaders: Reikenor the Grimhailer (160) -Acolyte of the Grimhailer: Allegiance Ability -General -Lore of the Underworlds: Reaping Scythe Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief (200) -General -Lore of the Underworlds: Soul Cage Guardian of Souls (130) -Artefact: Corpse Candle -Lore of the Underworld: Shademist Spirit Torment (120) Krulghast Cruciator (120) -Artefact: Midnight Tome – Spectral Tether OR Artefact: Pendant of the Fell Wind Battleline: 40x Chainrasp Horde (280) 10x Hexwraiths (260) 5x Hexwraiths (130) Units: 10x Bladegheist Revenants (180) 2x Chainghasts (70) Behemoths: Black Coach (220) Battalions: Dolorous Guard (120) 1990/2000 126 Wounds This is a list I would consider taking under this allegiance, good amount of boost to magic with Reikenor's corpse candle, especially effective on the Guardian of souls for a potential +3 to cast on Spectral lure when you really need to get it off potentially bringing back 2D6 worth of Chainrasp horde in nutty. This list is focusing on survival with additional healing coming from Olynder, Black coach, and spirit torment. Dolorous guard allows you to protect both your generals by passing off wounds to your Hexwraiths on a 2+ as well making those shooty armies have to work hard to take down your key pieces. Another potential strength of this list is having two generals which can directly effect some objective based scenarios as well.

Hello everyone, I've lurked here for a little while and now I'm going to post for the first time. I'll jump straight to the point, I am back to fantasy after a 4 year hiatus, I've got a few games of AoS 2nd edition under my belt with my Seraphon list (made a list using older 8th edition models), and I'm looking to keep expanding my army variety with Ossiarch Bonereapers! Since the models I currently use are a little...lets say dated...I'm very excited to be using more current models! And what a set of models! Very cool spooky skeletons! My friends currently using Kharadron Overlords which I've struggled against in the past due to their movement and deepstrike so I'm hoping to come up with some list ideas to combat them a little. I have bought 2 boxes of mortek guard, 1 gothizar harvester, and 1 mortek crawler and so I'm trying to come up with a 2k list using what I've purchased so far and then I'll purchase whatever else I need once said list is finalized. Ideas! Petrifex Elite, Shyish Leaders Liege Kavalos - General, Mighty Archeossian, Godbone Armour Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament Mortisan Soulmason - Gothizzar Cartouche, Empower Nadrite Weapons Units 20x Mortek Guard - Nadrite Blade, shield - 2 Greatblade 10x Mortek Guard - Nadrite Blade, shield - 1 Greatblade 10x Mortek Guard - Nadrite Blade, shield - 1 Greatblade 3x Necropolis Stalkers Behemoths 1x Gothizar Harvester - Soulcrusher Bludgeons Artillery 1x Mortek Crawler Batallions/Endless Spells Mortek Shield-Corps Nightmare Predator Bone-tithe Shrieker 1990/2000 points! My plan is to keep the Harvester with my block of 20 guard and push an objective with the boneshaper behind them. I figured a soulmason can buff up the crawler turn 1/2 for some shooting while a unit of guard stick back to watch the flank. Eventually the Soulmason can edge forward to soulguide the stalkers. The stalkers and other unit of guard + Kavalos will push forward on the opposite end of the block of 20 guard + Harvester Arkhan will stay as far away from the shooting/combat as he can and whip out spells + healing. So that's it, any comments, critics or concerns are greatly appreciated! Thank you
