Been playing around with lists since the book dropped on Saturday past, Been really struggling to include a Shrieker Host alongside a effective Battleline and Olynder (Bought her alongside the book), Originally I really wanted to field 2 Black coaches but with Olynders cost tacked on again having it and a effective battleline was not meshing well so I chose to drop 1, 1 unit of 10 Chainrasps I want to include to take the bite off having to field 3 battleline and give me a nice cheap throwaway unit for back field objectives, the army seems pretty mobile and I don't want to invest points just to have them sit out of the game, the Hexwraiths are a new thought, I originally wasn't going to field any and the Knight was on foot but the Coach has high Movement and I don't think its best served limiting that to 6 for the rest of the army, likewise moving it up solo is a bad option so enter a small cavalry force that I think is capable of hitting like a mack truck but sticking around under some heavy punishment, I'm not liking having that 2cnd unit of 10 chainrasps, at the very least I'd like to pump its numbers but i'm really hurting for points, not sure where to go from here, i'm open to dropping the Battalion and have listed an option I think would work quite well with the Reapers setting up in the Underworld but I think the Host synergies well with Olynder, I'd love to field some Spirit hosts too but the darn points.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's only advice on how you would run your own Shrieker Host or if you think the army runs best without it, any general advice or tips and tricks for nighthaunt as well.

So i have a couple things.

First, i'm not sold on the harridans. if they were faster i would like them but for the points I prefer the revenants.

Second, If you are going to have Lady O in the army she should be the general because you don't get to use her sweet command ability if she isn't.

Keeping the list mostly the way it is I would replace the knight of shrouds with a second guardian, give the tomb banshee an artifact and split the hexwraiths into units of 5.

If you have the models Id also drop the mrymourns to units of 4 and use the points to up your chainrasps up to units of 20 each, opening you up for their battalion with the guardian so you can bring back even more.


And dont forget that you can give your wizards spells from the lore, shademist is amazing on hordes and with Lady O's spell on top of it you might need to invest in tissues to hand to your opponents.


I attached the list I would run, but I'm still trying to think of a good way to add the deadriders battalion to it. The harrow is amazing for really jank movement tactics

Unless you're running Spirit Host spam that might not necessarily be true.

Ruler of the Spirit Hosts returning D3 models to one critical unit for free could be better than Lady O returning 1 model everywhere for a command point.
