The chill of Shyish creeps back into our dice trays this week.
Because the Nighthaunt receive a full rules refresh, spooky gamers everywhere are polishing their ethereal bases. I am already sorting through my green‑glow paints, since the new content screams for fresh schemes. Moreover, a brand‑new hero and an eerie Spearhead box bring both flavor and fangs. Therefore let us unpack every ghost‑laden parcel.
Fresh Battletome Brings More Terror
First, Battletome: Nighthaunt replaces the older Faction Pack in one neat volume. Inside you discover updated battle formations, heroic traits, artefacts, and an expanded spell lore. Additionally, the Nexus of Grief returns to recycle slain spirits, so your units keep clawing back into play. Meanwhile, Mounting Dread now stacks mental pressure on mortals, thus weakening their resolve each battle round. Because the book also holds lavish lore and art, hobbyists gain loads of inspiration for haunting new projects.
Lord Vitriolic Hurls Bottled Horrors
Next, we meet Lord Vitriolic, a many‑armed ghast cursed for deceitful alchemy. Now this spirit lobs foul potions that burst into acid rain or fear gas. Consequently enemy units may lose Ward saves or suffer direct mortal wounds, letting your scythes slice deeper. Although the model oozes menace, it also offers tactical utility, since you choose which effect to trigger each throw.
Cursed Shacklehorde Spearhead Adds Swift Scythes
Then we have the Cursed Shacklehorde, a 25‑model Spearhead ready to float through projectiles with disdain. The box contains a Spirit Torment, two Chainghasts, ten Dreadscythe Harridans, ten Bladegheist Revenants, and two Dreadblade Harrows. Because the units synergize well, the force can shred minds while ignoring terrain, and it suits both newcomers and veterans. Furthermore, the set slides directly into the new Spearhead format, so games play fast yet cinematic.
Handy Extras Keep Play Smooth
Just like their Flesh‑eater cousins, the Nighthaunt receive Gamer’s Edition battletomes, Warscroll Cards, and themed dice. Therefore you can keep rules close, roll in style, and jump straight into battle without fuss.
Final Words: Embrace the Gloom
In conclusion, this release cycle lets ghost fans expand collections with fresh mechanics and haunting plastic. Grab the battletome for deepened dread tactics, field Lord Vitriolic for gruesome splash damage, and deploy the Shacklehorde for speedy soul harvests. Because the Mortal Realms never sleep, neither should your restless dead. I will see you on the tabletop, where screams echo longer in the dark.
