so i was looking to add a heavy hitter to my nighthaunt and was wondering which to choose?
any thoughts on who wins out between the two?

Well I'd say Mourngul because its FW and its ever so easy to put off getting those models again and again and one day you wake up and its gone for good.

Black Coach will be there for years to come so you can easily pick it up later.

That's actually why I would say Black Coach over Mourngul.

There's no guarantee that it would continue to be supported, as cool as the model is. Black Coach? That's a studio model--it's sticking around.

Very true, yet at the same time I always view FW as "things I would like to own because they look cool" first and foremost. That is its boutique models that happen to have game rules. Getting them sooner just means more chance to use them incase the rules do go away - you'll always have the model.

Thanks guys but I'm really just wondering which is stronger from a rule mindset.
Im not worried about FW longevity

I would say that at the moment the Black Coach is a superior piece. The Mourngul is a better beatstick in an army that has few of them but the Black Coach is more resilient, still dishes out a decent amount of damage, especially a high number of mortal wounds, offers a regenerating bonus to units around it and is generally much more mobile. It's also slightly cheaper in terms of point. On a personnal note, I find the Black Coach a lot more impressive in terms of aesthetic.

Kinda feel the same way epronovost.
Im leaning towards the coach.

Coach. It brings back d3 models. That's d3 whole spirit swarm bases.

I love that the new coach is how I pictured it fully powered up as a youth. How I've resisted a Nighthaunt army is beyond me.

Go with the Coach.

Choose both. That way you can switch things up Just buy the ghoul 1st to maximize your chances to actually use it.

The one time my dwarves faced a morngul it died to my shooting the first turn.

Things pretty massive there's no real hiding it behind cover.

Go coach.
The morns glory days is long gone and wont come back.
