	*'''Dread-fiend:''' Large cavalry combat hero. Kitted out with nimble so could be used for character hunting. Great for flanking, since it only has 5 attacks, but an otherwise terrifying statline and isn't an individual. Give it Ensorcelled armour and it can really bog down a unit you want out of the game for a while.		*'''Dread-fiend:''' Large cavalry combat hero.

	*'''Horror:''' ~~The surge caster.~~ Has ~~surge 7~~ and can buy ~~banechant~~. ~~Obviously you want~~ this ~~character if you take lots of shambling~~.		*'''Horror:''' Has Lightning Bolt 3 and can buy Bane Chant. Now that Butchers don't have shambling there's no option for Surge on this guy. For 30 points get a nice upgrade: Aura (Vicious (Melee) - Infantry only) to buff all your foot gribblies.

	*'''Shade:''' The combat individual. Does what combat characters do plus fly. Can turn him into a flying phaoroah with Enscrolled armor.		*'''Shade:''' The combat individual. Does what combat characters do plus fly. Can turn him into a flying phaoroah with Enscrolled armor.

	*'''Mindthirst:''' All units in this army gain Inspired status whenever it's 12" away from an enemy with inspiring. That means his standard bearer is better for you than him, and will see reduced usage as he decides when to employ him. TL;DR expect to see inspiring opponents to suicide rush or flee.

	*'''Reapers:''' These are your berserker infantry. Hit on 3+ with crushing strength one gives them the ability to hurt basically everything.

	Your advantages are against shooting, but compared to other armies your defense is low.

	You need to take advantage of your stealth so getting a -2 to hit against you with cover is great. -3 is even better with your individuals! But, your wider ~~waiver~~ range, low defense, and lack of inspiration still can make shooting difficult to deal with. This is where nightmares and Shadowhounds can make a difference.

	It's probably not possible to build a jack of all trades army with the NS. The units are all very expensive so picking a range focus or melee focus only seems to work best.

	*'''Spectres:''' The only ranged infantry unit in the army. Has firebolts and piercing one. Hits on 4+, which is really good, but the short range firebolts means less shots and you are more likely to move around. With pathfinder it makes sense to put these guys in terrain. With stealthy and cover bonuses they would be hard to hurt but can provide plenty of damage.		*'''Spectres:''' The only ranged infantry unit in the army. Has firebolts and piercing one.
