Opis
An indomitable new malevolence has stirred an ancient terror. No longer
content to hunt civilisation’s edges, phantasmal forces gather into spectral
armies. This is no mere haunting, but a shock assault that seeks nothing less
than to destroy life itself. From the darkest pits of Shyish, the Realm of
Death, comes a storm of ethereal figures. These wraiths fight to send fresh
souls screaming down into the darkened realms from whence the dead emerged,
taking cruel pleasure in knowing the torments that await their victims
below…
In the 88-page hardback Battletome: Nighthaunt, you’ll
find:
– That Which Haunts the Night: an introduction to the
Nighthaunt, their motivations, processions and the rising threat they pose to
all life;
– The Restless Dead: details of the dark and forbidden arts of
necromancy – the creation and enslavement of new undead;
– Something Wicked
This Way Comes: a great change has swept the Mortal Realms – the necroquake, an
unintended result of Nagash’s grand plan, unleashed a mind-splitting wave of
eldritch power, resulting in the rising of the wraiths; billions of souls
arising and assaulting anything and everything that lives with blind hatred;
– A detailed description of Shyish, the Realm of Death: home of the Great
Necromancer Nagash, and source of countless spiritual horrors;
– Chronicles
of Terror: a timeline of key events and battles in the history of the
Nighthaunt, from the Age of Myth, Age of Chaos, Age of Sigmar and the
present;
– Ghostly Processions: organised by order of Nagash and commanded
by Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief, these are the structures of Nighthaunt
armies;
– Explanation and background of each character and unit available
to a Nighthaunt army;
– Shock and Terror: an example procession, featuring
an annotated photograph explaining how this army was selected and the manner in
which they will fight;
– A showcase of beautifully-painted Citadel
miniatures, with an example army and comprehensive painting advice from the
experts. This advice covers a huge variety of examples and techniques, showing
you how to achieve the ghostly effects of blue and green spirits, cloth, rusted
and corroded metal, brass, balefire, candles and lantern glows, with guides on
painting extra details like bone, wood, and making graves look suitably
ghastly.
