====Nighthaunt Units====
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Chainrasp_Horde_Nighthaunt_2018.pdf Chainrasp Horde]'''  (SUMMONABLE, '''Battleline''', 80/280pts, Min:10 Max:40) Get undead chaff, give them 6" flying and a unmodifiable 5+ save. They make superior chaff. Classic swarmy troops that deal a huge bunch of attacks, also reroll every 1 to wound as long as they're 10 or more. Get a bunch of heroes around them to buff their attack stats and enjoy. 

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_NightHaunt_Glaivewraith.pdf Glaivewraith Stalkers]''' (SUMMONABLE, 60pts, Min:4 Max:16) Another unit with annoying attacks. They reroll every failed hit roll in the turn they're engaged in combat (either if they're the ones who charged or not) and with drummer to retreat & charge. Take note that at 15 points, 6" move and 1 wound a piece, you might want to bring larger units of them to prevent "ye olde hexwraiths-getting-deleted-in-a-single-turn" conundrum. Have a hero that heals/resurrects float around with them, and turn that 1 Wound per Model disadvantage into some tasty tasty enemy-morale-breaking heals/resurrects. 
**Alternate Opinion: Never take them for anything but character hunting, as the glaivewraiths get rerolls to hits where the grimghasts do not, namely on units with less than 5 models. They have a cheap minimum unit, unlike the grimghasts, so taking a small unit to fill out a list and add even more table presence to your army is good.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Grimghast_Reapers_Nighthaunt_2018.pdf Grimghast Reapers]:''' (SUMMONABLE, 160/420pts, Min:10 Max:30) These guys are both cheap and resilient and can pack a punch in melee with their 2 attacks and -1 Rend, especially if buffed by Vanhel's Dance Macabre from a Necromancer or Blood Feast from a Vampire Lord. You could even take one of the Nighthaunt heroes listed above, most of which have Nighthaunt-specific buffs. They can also re-roll hit rolls against units with 5 or more models, making them great against medium to large elite units and hordes. With their very high movement of 8" and the FLY keyword, they can take objectives quickly and efficiently. Unless you really want to run nothing but skeletons, consider the Grimghast Reapers as a cornerstone of your army. A good way to fit these guys into your army is to drop one of your horde Battleline units and replace them with cheap Dire Wolves, freeing up the points for a large unit of Grimghasts.

*'''Spirit Hosts:''' (SUMMONABLE, 120pts, Min:3 Max:12) Oh boy, these ghoulish ghastlies are by far one of the most underrated units in the battletome. They seem expensive at first but they come with a lot of nasty surprises. First, like all Nighthaunt units, they have a 4+ save that cannot be modified positively or negatively (for those coming from 40K it's like an invulnerable save) they have 6 attacks each and if they hit on an unmodified 6+ they deal a mortal wound instead! These guys will be dishing out mortal wounds left at right all while being durable as fuck. And if that wasn't enough they are SUMMONABLE meaning they can regen wounds and fallen units (remember they have 3 wounds each meaning that they can only resurrect on a 5+ with deathly invocation and gravesites also holy shit they have 3 wounds.) It's worth saying that units of 3 or 6 are probably your best bet seeing as they have large bases and it would be hard for say 9 or 12 to all be in combat. 

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_hexwraiths.pdf Hexwraiths]:''' (SUMMONABLE, 140pts, Min:5 Max:20)  Hexwraiths occupy an interesting spot in LoN. On paper, they are better than ever. Summonable makes them Resection. Their Frightful Touch common to all Nighthaunt Units let them bypass rolls with mortal wounds. But the buff of Black Knights means you have 2 types of cavalry to pick from, (not including Blood Knights) and in a lot of cases, Black Knights are superior. They have the ability to deal far more wounds for 20 points less. But Hexwraiths do have several things over their cheaper cousins. They have far better durability, with the classic Nighthaunt 4+ unmodifiable save. They are also substantially quicker due to having fly and ignoring terrain and models when moving, and the ability to deal MWs to a model if they do move over them. Hexwraiths also have  -1 rend on their scythes, making them far better in protracted combats or if they are charged first. Hexwraiths are then better suited at striking at vulnerable enemy units. Their speed and resilience mean that they are very good at taking out enemy support elements and assassinating enemy war machines and characters that stray, as well as dodging screening units. Nothing is quite as troll-y than flying straight over your enemy's tarpit, dealing a handful of mortal wounds to it and charging the archers behind them. 

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Black_Coach.pdf Legion Black Coach]:'''(120pts) Theoretically, the old Black Coach is pretty good, especially if you keep buffing it with Wizards. The problem with this is that in order to get all those buffs, you pretty much need to spam Wizards, which you are already spamming in some builds.
**It ''is'' fast with a 10" move, but lacks flying (gaining it later at the Fourth Level of Evocation of Death.) and is missing the Nighthaunts penchant to ignore rend. He has the same weapon as the Cairn Wraith and the reroll hits if a unit has 5+, with the addition of 4 more attacks with his horses. So in an AOS1 Nighthaunt Allegiance army he will not level up reliably and costs the same as two Cairn Wraiths...the Wraiths will have 1 more wound, collectively, and double the good attacks on top of ignoring rend, oh and they fly.
