==Why play Nighthaunt?== * You like painting glow effects. * Your favorite scene in Lord of the Rings was the part where the Army of the Dead wiped the floor with Sauron's forces. * Admittedly, there is something comical about playing an army of ghosts. * Your favorite holiday is Halloween. '''Pros''' *Army wide Ethereal rule means enemy rend has no effect at all on your save rolls. *Army wide ward saves. *Army wide fly means you pay no heed to the idea of "Battle lines", just go above your enemy and hit them where it hurts. *Strong leadership and small army size means routing is almost never an issue *Dish out automatic wounds and mortal wounds like it's nobody's business. *GW support, with some of the best models released recently. *You are one of the most mobile armies in the game. With deep strike, teleportation, and all of your units fly, you can run around your enemy (or crash into them like a screaming banshee train) with ease! *[[Council of Thirteen|13]] hero options to choose from. Spoilt for choice. *Your main motivation is hatred of Sigmarines. *Our army-specific Endless spells have cool models. *Stupidly easy to paint. Just prime them white and apply some pale or glowing shades of greens or blues to give them a [[spook]]y appearance. '''Cons''' *Our army-specific Endless Spells suck crunch-wise, either being overcosted for what they do or too unreliable. *Like a lot of Death armies, your heroes are the chain that binds the army together. If they get killed you might as well go back to the grave. *13 hero options to choose from. Not all of them are good, though, and a third of them are exclusive to the Soul Wars box. If you want to play with them, either find a friend to split the box with, buy the heroes, sell the Stormcast on eBay, or be prepared to start a Stormcast Army too. *A lot of your units have low wounds characteristics, so high damage attacks and (ironically) mortal wounds will hurt you bad. *Depending on your opinion of mono-pose models, you will either love or hate the Nighthaunt range. * They are very bad to transport. Many Nighthaunt models are made with a single small connecting point to the base along with parts that stick out like small bits and weapons. Take a leaf from Sylvaneth (hehe) when it comes to transporting your army anywhere, lest you snap your precious models and doom yourself with trying to superglue a 2mm surface together. **if you need to make an emergency fix, a paperclip or some other thin wire can work since most models are suppose to be 'flying' low to the ground. *Ethereal is a HEAVY point tax. You'll feel that all your models are 10-30% more expensive point wise than they would be due to not being affected by Rend. And in some match ups, Ethereal means very little.
