Games Workshop Warhammer AoS - Easy to Build: Nighthaunt Myrmourn Banshee

Product Information

Mephiston Red has been my go-to colour for the roses on the Myrmourn Banshee bases the Thorns of the Briar Queen and the (scenic) Glaivewraith Stalkers. Step 3 – Temple Guard Blue on a tighter edge highlight of the ectoplasm This was also used for short slashes and a bit of stippling in the same orientation as the previous streaking. Tighter highlight of skin and skull. The Thorns of the Briar Queen is a Nighthaunt Bladeborn warband from Warhammer Underworlds Season 2. Alternatively you can have an extremely elite warband, one completely ranged or something thematic and fun: the options are now endless. Spectral Summon(Triple, all Leaders): Set up again any fighter taken down with as many wounds left as the value of the ability.

Harrowing Shriek (Triple, all Dreadscythe Harridans): A chance to prevent an enemy in range from moving or disengaging. There aren’t any units that would pair nicely with the banshees, for the pure fact they they are best played central to the field, amid all of the action. Keep them defended and within 12″ of as There are five Glaivewraiths (with the horse head) and four Reapers (with the scythes) along with a Lord-Executioner. As you can see, I used self-printed transfers for the bases because I always had a hard time telling the models apart in Warhammer Underworlds games. The updated jade green rubble matches my Dominion of Sigmar terrain collection, for which you can find a tutorial here.

Before we get into what’s contained in this small box of Warhammer I’d like to go into what you’re buying with an easy to build kit. The kits are designed in such a way that all of the pieces simply slot together with minimal effort, and there’s no need to use any glue. The only thing that puts some players off this kit is the pre-moulded bases. They are shaped and structured to be part of the model itself and means that no part of the model is left out of the aesthetic. It is possible to glue the model onto a flat base, but it will take a lot of work and glue to make it stand firmly. Issue 58 / Paints Discover the Drakesworn Templars (Retributor Armour (Base, Gold) and Carroburg Crimson (Shade, Red) Paint) But let’s talk positives – if you play Reikenor’s Condemned between now and the new book, you get to benefit from both hit rerolls for Chainrasps as well as the +1 to hit from the new warscroll which is pretty nice if you want a brief period of supercharged Chainrasps. Oh and Myrmourn Banshees have an interesting defined role now, which is nice. Ellarr: At 190 points they were competing with the cheaper Harridans for ‘elite’ infantry in Nighthaunt, and I tended to go with Harridans because they had a nice little defensive ability and typically did more damage. Now that the Revenants have lost their full reroll to hits ability, the comparison gets even uglier and I don’t see a place for Revenants in any of my lists until the new book is out. They still have retreat and charge which is obviously great, but the effectiveness of this unit has been significantly diminished. If you're a Warhammer Underworlds player, or you just want some interesting sculpts, then the Champions of Dreadfane has the same Banshees as the Nighthaunt box and the Warhammer Underworlds Nightvault core set has the Briar Queen and some Chainrasps that could be used as alternative miniatures. Nighthaunt General Tactics

Lightshard of the Harvest Moon –Pop this once per game. Once you do every unit within 12″ can reroll failed hits. Crazy good with the right timing, but you need to manage the aura around the Guardian of Souls. B+ All Death armies have a 6+ Feel No Pain save when wholly within 12″ of a friendly Hero. This is yours. From the Underworlds They Come Shadow’s Edge – Choose a melee weapon, on an unmodified 6 deal D3 Mortal wounds instead of a normal wound. Strap this to a D1 weapon otherwise you risk doing less damage. Otherwise its fine. B No one believes me, but, this particular sculpt was only available in the Warcry Catacombs Core Box.Unholy Light (Triple, Guardian of Souls): Heal D3 wound to all nearby friendly fighters (roll individually).
