Games Workshop - Warhammer - Age of Sigmar - Nighthaunt Awlrach The Drowner

Product Information

If you’ve been looking for a box of AoS Terrain the Thondian Strongpoint may be perfect to both fill out your table and to play games with the new supplement… Season of War: Thondia supplement We don’t think either of these lists are perfect, but almost any list you throw together in this book is worth trying! Wrapping it all up We may have been a bit harsh on Nagash all of, uh, three paragraphs ago, but we really don’t think he has competitive viability at the top tables. He’s a model that’s very binary with victory almost decided at the list building step; if your army can solve the problem of him existing, you win, and if you can’t, you lose; there’s not a lot of tactical nuance or gameplay here. Bringing Nagash to a friendly game can lead to some real feels-bad moments when your opponent can’t solve him and you take off half their army, or they kill him round two and you’ve flat out just lost the game. We love Nagash at Goonhammer, but we’d happily see him reduced in power to increase in survivability and fun for everyone at the table.

Your opponent won’t have anywhere to hide, which will pair perfectly with the battle traits we showed you last week. Plus this box has the new Krondspine Incarnate of Ghur that is supposedly a new type of unit altogether!While before Nighthaunt could ‘deep strike’ using From the Underworld They Come , now at the end of deployment but before determining control of objectives you can choose up to three units and remove them from the battlefield to return to play at the end of any movement phase 9” away from enemy units. This is incredible, because your opponent has presumably deployed in response to how your army has been, but then you completely rewrite the battlefield. It also doesn’t limit how many units can leave the table – if you’re playing a small game with four units, you can hide one and put the other three into reserves before the game begins. Chainghasts are pretty much as we saw them in Arena of Shades, functioning largely as a +1 to hit aura to Nighthaunt units while a Spirit Torment is on the battlefield. This is… nice, but because it’s dependent on a Spirit Torment floating around, killing that off means the Chainghasts are almost useless. At least you get them for free in the box with your Spirit Torment? Glaivewraith Stalkers Letters, painting advice, and beautifully painted miniatures. This month: a big green god and the Martian Mechanicum. There’s a couple of key things to note here. Firstly, there’s no cap on how low you can reduce a unit’s save. With enough rend and Wave of Terror results, you can absolutely strip a unit down to no save whatsoever.

When this frightful ferryman weighs anchor, he must do so the usual 9” away from enemy units, as must his phantasmal passengers – they have to keep their hands in the boat and stay within 12” of Awlrach when they disembark. Are you excited about the new Season of War: Thondia supplement, Thondian Strongpoint Terrian and Awlrach the Drowner? Let it never be said that we here at Goonhammer are afraid to change our minds or admit mistakes. A unit of contention in our Arena of Shades review, Myrmourn Banshees are looking like some of the real big winners in this book. With all the benefits of running a tonne of small units, a unit or two of these ladies can put out some serious hurt (rend -3 on a good Wave of Terror charge!) while also helping shut down an enemy magic phase that is likely already struggling with the plethora of excellent wizards you’re likely already taking. Spell-eaters lets you roll 2D6 every time an enemy spell is cast, not unbound and targets a unit within 12”, and if you beat the casting value (adding +1 if your banshees have three or more models) the spell is unbound or dispelled. This is superb , as it really doesn’t matter how many bonuses the enemy has. Nagash and Teclis can both cast with some absurdly high numbers, but these ladies don’t care – your casting value six spell stays at six, doesn’t matter if you rolled a 16 to cast it. A unit or two of these is our third near auto-include unit. List building and competitive thoughts Awlrach the Drowner leads a procession of Nighthaunt to conquer the lands of the Ulrung Fyreslayers in this mini-campaign, which includes a unique battleplan. Terrifying Entity is the one we’re going to be testing first – with the number of interactions based around terrified , having your general project a 6” Aura of Dread rather than 3” could be quite nasty. It doesn’t give your general any personal bonuses, but Nighthaunt heroes have always been more about buffing their army rather than being blenders themselves.Architect of renown, Ashley Hamstead-Reid, joins us to talk about building (and demolishing) the ruins of Dol Guldur in this impressive scenery article. Awlrach the Drowner looks pretty neat for sure, and his rumored abilities can potentially help the Nighthaunts move even FASTER than before. His 3” range allows him to bonk heads over the top of a mass of infantry, and if you charge him directly into a unit, the ram on the prow of his boat comes into play. If this spiky protuberance kills anyone on the charge, Awlrach can then lay about with his oar for some punishing extra damage, thanks to his Scything Ram rule. Following the release of the General's Handbook, find out who these Galletian Veterans are, why they're so important in pitched battles, and what a Bounty Hunters core battalion can do for you. Louis Aguilar explains all. Top Op Elliot Hamer joins us to talk about his favourite operatives from the first year of Kill Team.

Alongside this imposing new miniature, the kit includes loads of scenery, including the previously available Domicile Shell and Domicile Shell with Winch, which represent the foundation of a new settlement following the Dawnbringer Crusades. Krult Lardihands has been offered the feast of a lifetime. All he has to do to get it is liberate a fortress and kill a load of crunchy skeletons. Easy, right? Warning! Big beasties are on the loose in this huge modelling and painting article all about monsters. Rawr!This multipart plastic kit builds one Awlrach the Drowner, a unique Hero and Totem for Nighthaunt armies. Propelling his odious, decaying skiff with a deathwood oar, this ghastly figure offers a tremendous boost to his army’s mobility by delivering units across the battlefield. He’s also a worthy painting challenge, loaded with grisly nautical details and a variety of textures to experiment with, from rusted iron and rotting wood to vengeful, ethereal spirits. It’s important to note here that the bodyguard ability happens instead of your hero taking a ward save, and the spirit host doesn’t get to make any kind of save either. Bodyguarding means you’ll take more damage, you just get to allocate where it goes , and that can be vitally important. Bladegheist Revenants The first thing you’ll notice when trying to build a list for your army is that points prices have increased a lot . We’ve seen lists go up hundreds of points, as the only unit that’s come down in points are Bladegheist Revenants down 15 from their last iteration. This is fine. The new battle traits and unit changes we think are very appropriately priced, and while you obviously can’t recreate your old army with this book for the same price, we haven’t been struggling to make new, effective armies with the changes in place. Finally an equivalent for All Out Defense ! As we’ve spoken about in Hammer of Math articles before, a 5+ ward is more than twice as good as a 6+ ward, because any saved wound has a higher chance of being saved again. Using this ability at just the right time will be absolutely game winning. We’ve taken to calling this ability All Out Ghost in the Goonhammer office. Frightful Touch This multipart plastic kit builds one Awlrach the Drowner, a unique Hero and Totem for Nighthaunt armies. Propelling his odious, decaying skiff with a deathwood oar, this ghastly figure offers a tremendous boost to his army's mobility by delivering units across the battlefield. He’s also a worthy painting challenge, loaded with grisly nautical details and a variety of textures to experiment with, from rusted iron and rotting wood to vengeful, ethereal spirits.

In the wake of the Warmaster’s treachery, Lion El’Jonson brings vengeance to the southern reaches of the galaxy. This timeline details all the main events of the I Legion’s exploits. Looks like seasons and new terrain elements are coming to Age of Sigmar, but after they were all just removed from the Warhammer 40k side of GW’s webstore it is hard to say how long these releases will even be available. Following the release of the latest Chapter Approved, Warlord Supreme, Robin Cruddace, discusses the future of battle in the much-fought-over War Zone Nephilim.Nighthaunt gain four grand strategies and six battle tactics, which can generally be described in the immortal words “not great, not terrible”. Grand Strategies New rules and inspiration for creating your very own evocative skirmish battlefields. We suggest hiding behind volatile fuel barrels. You’ll find 16 new Terrain Traits for use in Kill Team games, along with examples demonstrating how to apply Terrain Traits to various pieces.
