    So this Thursday I had the pleasure of playing AGAINST Nighthaunt. To make the game more interesting I brought my Sylvaneth.

    Its always find it enlightening to play against an army that I am currently collecting myself. Facing the Nighthaunt gave me some insight into the  strengths and maybe some of it weaknesses of the army.

    We played 1000 points, Places of Arcane power, but modified so that all models could score on the objectives.

    So after playing this game, Im still not sure what to think about our Heros. My opponent used a Harrow as his general, It gave him a certain edge on scenario play, since he could easily zip across the board bringing units with him. Im wondering how this would work In 2000 points? Can we get away with only using our smaller heroes?

    The Grimgasts are just awesome, with the right support they cut through my Kurnoth Hunters way too easy. I actually think that it was the Grimghast and the Harrow that won my opponent the game, and some cunning play on his behalf.

    Just played my first game with Nighthaunt. Vanguard size, Knife to the heart against the Devoted of Sigmar.

    I actually managed a turn one charge using up a lot of command point to rush forward. Only problem my heroes got left a little behind. That was my first learning point, Nighthaunt heroes need to stay close.

    The game turned into a long grind, and in the end I could not remove enough Flagellants to actually reach the objective. That was my second learning point, use flight to move deep into the enemy zone fast.
     

    My List so far

    Leaders
    Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
    - General
    Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed (140)
    Lord Executioner (80)
    Spirit Torment (120)

    Battleline
    20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
    10 x Grimghast Reapers (140)

    Units
    4 x Glaivewraith Stalkers (60)

    Total: 840 / 1000
    Extra Command Points: 3
    Allies: 0 / 200
    Wounds: 55

    I very much enjoyed playing Nighthaunt, and I'm looking forward to my next game and expanding the army.

    The Kurnoth Hunters are done. Next up is a unit of 10 Dryads and two Citadel Forests.

    That will bring me to about 1000 points.

    I have also started thinking about the next 1000 points.

    And i have come up with a plan.

    I will add one more unit of Dryads, Durthu, another unit of Kurnoths and a Branchwraith.

    With the Household-, Forest Folk- and Gnarlroot battalion my army will be 1960 point and I will consider it done for now.

    The first encounter

    By Grønlykke

    The snow fell heavy. Dieter von Steinhof looked at the big shadow standing at the top of the small hill with a frown. There was no doubt that this was the place and a part of the great puzzle that could change the war… But the big shadow worried Dieter more than he liked to admit. 

     

    He called out for the leader of his small group of handgunners: “Maas! … Take a shot.” The old bearded man nodded and aimed carefully with his long rifle. The shot rang high in the peaceful snow and the big shadow roared out when hit… but did not fall. On the contrary, it went into a rage and ran at some unseen target. 

    Dieter ordered his men to walk slow but steady towards the small hill and the monstrous beast. But suddenly out of nowhere some strange beings half-trees half-demons attacked from behind. Mass Saxen and his handgunners made Dieter proud as they fired into the charging tree-demons taking two them out… But then big scythes ran though their rangs. Oglaf and Uli screamed as limps were ripped from bodies - their mothers will cry for ever more. Leopold Plecken ordered the city guard to turn around and charge the last of the evil and vicious monsters… and so they did as they sang "...AS THE GREEN AND WHITE MAIDEN WAS SLAYING THE FOUL....” and killed without mercy.

    The big beast heard their glorious song and turned towards them… But the battle was over. With his blazing smile Dieter ordered his men to hold the line and fire. Bullets ran through the big shadow in the snow and made the beast fall to one knee… but it got up again and would not die. Dieter could not see what happened in the heavy snow, but it sounded like the big monster was battling some other beasts, maybe more tree-demons. 
    Again Dieter called out Mass Saxen. “Finish this…” … and he did.

    Bow and Blade

    Part 2

    by Roar

    The first signs of the slaaneshi invasions was the return of the living corpse of Melarchos' sister. They found her the the barn, feasting on the blood of a pig and covered in dirt. As Melarchos stepped closer with a sharpened stake in his hands, her crazed eyes met his without any sign of recognition. Her voice was coarse: "Run and hide, manling, the lord of pain is approaching". Then Melarchos ran her through.

    Early in the morning, he heard the baying of otherworldly hounds in the wind. The chill that ran up his spine told him that this was the end of his world. In that moment he knew that he was to follow a wild and painful path, one that only the strongest of his men could take with him.

    ...In the footsteps the grass withered and browned in moments, the vines recoiled and the flowers on the forest floor turned to black and shrivelled up, while the woodland wildlife fled in haste. The lingering decay spread from the initial footprints to expand further into the undergrowth of the forest. Worms dug out of the ground, and started to burrow into the rodents that did not escape in time...

    The gathering of root and twig

    A strange noise suddenly interrupted the spirit-song, It was like a distant ringing bell. Esyae had never heard this sound before, but she felt the taint, it was not natural.

    As she made her way across the woods, the spirit-song waned, until she only heard a faint whisper, it was the song of a young Ancient known as Phaendar, he was calling for help.

    Esyae almost panicked as she felt cut off from the soothing songs of her kin.

    “You must secure the moonstone of Hidden Ways, and free me” She heard Phaendar almost whisper.

    Esyae called out to root and twig, she shrieked out in rage and despair, her song was violent and beautiful at the same time. At first the woods around her fell silent, but then she heard it, she was not alone the living woods had answered her call, the Tree-Revenants and Forest Folk were coming to her aid.
