Hi

I am new to age of sigmar and I am looking for advice on how to play Legions of Nagash. I have a large army from Warhammer Fantasy days. But i have only played a hadful of AOS games. I am joining a AOS escalation league so 500pt, 1000pts, 1500pt and finally 2000pts. I am just looking for tips and tactics of the undead. How are they played in this game.

Thanks

Be sure not to put all your grave sites in the same place so they cannot be easily blocked when you want to summon units back. Keep your general alive at all costs (keep him back, surrounded by other units, and out of combat). And keep a command point or two around to bring back wiped out units.

Run skeleton units as 10-man only to fill minimum battleline requirements, otherwise run 40-man unit(s). Never run 20 or 30 man units, ever. If you use zombies, use only 60-man units or not at all. Chainrasp hordes are actually your strongest battleline option.

Grave guard are good elite infantry (pick great weapons) but Grimghast Reapers are better. Morghast Archai are awesome, Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon (take a shield and blood chalice) is also awesome. Black knights, bats, and the legion black coach (note this is the warscroll in the LoN book; you cannot take the Nighthaunt version) are poor, everything else is decent to good.

Nagash himself is wildly overpowered.

Nagash is pretty busted yeah lol. At least until GHB 2019.

What unit size is recommended for chainrasp, grave guard and grimghast reapers. I do not own any nighthaunt yet but was thinking of getting the grimghast I had seen they were in tournament list and now part of Legions of Nagash.

Chainrasp are fine at any size. 20 is a good size for the other two, 30 works as well

If you want something more Deathrattle I got this to 4-1 at the one 2.0 tournament I have had a chance to attend.
