Age of Sigmar - Nighthaunt

Never really planned to have a Nighthaunt "army"... but I do have a BUNCH of them now, so I thought I might as well make a gallery for them! 

This all started - as MOST of the Age of Sigmar forces have - with Warhammer Underworlds warbands!? 

Then I picked up the Arena of Shades box set which was on the deeply discounted Bargain Shelf at my FLGS... I figured they'd be quick and easy to paint and could be used as antagonists in role-playing games and other skirmish games.

Then they announced the Fourth Edition Battletome and a new Spearhead army to go with it - the Cursed Shacklehorde - and I realized I already owned over HALF of that force... AND they were already painted! So I got to thinking I should pick up the other two units and build that... 

PAINTED

All the painted Nighthaunts, so far... 

Heroes

Spirit Torment 

Cairn Wraith 

I have two of these Cairn Wraiths (the other is being re-based). They are old metal models... but they're GW/Citadel miniatures... so... why not use them as Cairn Wraiths!? Each are individual heroes and could either lead a regiment or could be included in another Heroes regiment as a "Cursed Soul"... but.. not any of the heroes I have!? 

Units

Chainghasts

Bladegheist Revenants

Chainrasps - these came with the Crypt Hunters board game, but they are a full unit of ten chainrasps! 

Myrmourn Banshees

Glaivewraith Stalkers

Thorns of the Briar Queen 

STILL TO DO

This is what I have still to do:

Heroes

• Scriptor Mortis 

Units

• 4x Myrmourn Banshees
• 5x Craventhrone Guard
• 4x The Headsmen’s Curse
• 2x Dreadblade Harrows 

Currently the PRIORITY for painting is... Any of them...? ALL of them!? There is not a lot left to DO!? 

Unlike other forces, I wasn't really trying to put together an army of these... I mostly see them being used in... other games... some are Warhammer Underworlds Warbands. Others I might use for Warhammer Quest or Soulbound. But since I have enough of them... 

THE PLAN

As I suggested earlier, there was no real PLAN... but since I have the stuff.. and there isn't much of it.. I hope to have it ALL finished up shortly. Normally I'd say "I'll finish up the Spearhead army first!" but instead, I'm going to finish up ALL THE OTHER THINGS that I have BEFORE I buy more units to finish up the spearhead army!!

Spearhead

The Cursed Shacklehorde Spearhead Army contains:

General:

• Spirit Torment

Units:

• Chainghasts (2) 
• Dreadscythe Harridans (10) 
• Bladegheist Revenants (10) 
• Dreadblade Harrows (2) 

I already have the Spirit Torment, Chainghasts, and Bladegheist Revenants finished! I recently picked up a used set of Dreadblade Harrows. Once I have those (and the Scriptor Mortis and Craventhrone Guard) finished, I'll pick up the Dreadscythe Harridans and knock them out in a day or two and I'll have another Spearhead Army I can play with!!

Paths to Glory

As I do like the idea of playing campaigns and for ALL THE OTHER factions, the next step is to put together a 1000 point force that could conceivably be used in a Paths to Glory campaign! Once the Spearhead Army is done, I'll easily have enough to do that! 

Scriptor Mortis General's Regiment 

• Hero - Scriptor Mortis (1) 80 - 0-1 Black Coach, Any Infantry 
• Unit - Bladegheist Revenants (10) 180 - Infantry
• Unit - Craventhrone Guard (5) 100 - Infantry
• Unit - Glaivewraith Stalkers (4) 80 - Infantry
• Chainrasps (10) 90 - Infantry

Total: 530

Spirit Torment's Regiment 

• Hero - Spirit Torment (1) 130 - 0-1 Black Coach, Any Infantry
• Unit - Chainghasts (2) 90 - Infantry
• Unit - Myrmourn Banshees (4) 120 - Infantry
• Unit - Myrmourn Banshees (4) 120 - Infantry

Total: 460

Army Total: 990

Larger Forces?

Not really even considering that... When I have ALL THE THINGS painted, I will have 1590 points worth of stuff and don't really feel like adding anything to this at the moment. 

When it's all done, this is what I'll have:

Heroes

• Cairn Wraith (1) - 130 - Any Infantry This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Cursed Soul.
• Cairn Wraith (1) - 130 -  Any Infantry This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Cursed Soul.
• Scriptor Mortis (1) 80 - Any Infantry - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Cursed Soul.
• Spirit Torment (1) 130 - Any Infantry - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Cursed Soul.

Heroes Total: 470

Units

• Bladegheist Revenants (10) 180 - Infantry
• Chainghasts (2) 90 - Infantry
• Chainrasps (10) 90 - Infantry
• Craventhrone Guard (5) 100 - Infantry
• Dreadblade Harrows (2) 170 - Cavalry
• Dreadscythe Harridans (10) 170 - Infantry
• Glaivewraith Stalkers (4) 80 - Infantry
• Myrmourn Banshees (4) 120 - Infantry
• Myrmourn Banshees (4) 120 - Infantry

Total: 1120

ARMY TOTAL: 1590!?

STUFF TO GET

Do I ever need to buy another Nighthaunt thing again, ever?!

Nope. 

Will I...?!

Maybe... 

If there is a new Warhammer Underworlds warband that looks fun... I'd probably pick that up!

If ever I wanted to field the Dreadblade Harrows, I'd need a Hero that could includ CAVALRY in their regiment!? Knight of Shrouds, maybe... If I could find a used one on it's own and I didn't have to buy the box with two others for $100!?
