Hey there,

Thinking of getting into nighthaunt with all the lovely new releases. But a rules question came to mind as I was building lists in my head. If I use the knight of shrouds on ethereal steed's command ability to give +1 attack to a unit of hexwraiths or a black coach (with multiple melee profiles) Do I get +1 attack on each of the profiles? Or only on one of them? Thanks in advance for any help. It would seem like I would also get more horse attacks based on the wording 'melee weaponS' instead of weapon singular.

The exact wording on the ability for reference:
You can use this command ability at the
start of the combat phase. If you do so, pick
a friendly Nighthaunt unit that is wholly
within 18" of this model. Add 1 to the
Attacks characteristic of that unit’s melee
weapons in that combat phase.

Would seem that any melee weapon gets +1 attack, to include mounts. Items that don't affect mounts will say so.

Yep in this edition beast attacks are the same as other standard weapons. So biting counts as a close combat attack thus the mount would indeed benefit from the attack bonus.
