Hello, welcome to another project i have on the go currently, my nighthaunt army.
If you look at the tags, you'll notice that a new one has appeared, "Dragon Rampant".
This is a generic fantasy ruleset, in which you can use any miniatures you want as they fall into broad categories:
Elite Cavalry, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Elite Foot, etc.
This means that everything has an equal chance on the table and there aren't any "auto-include units".
You flavour your units by adding fantastic rules for extra points per unit.
E.g. a Heavy Rider unit is 4 points to start, but you make them undead and able to fly and they are now 8 points (i think, it's late and I don't have my copy of the rules nearby).
Anyway, i decided to turn my AoS armies into Dragon Rampant armies as i like the rules, and much less faff then AoS!
So far this is everything that I have completed.
Knight of Shrouds, Bladeghiest Revenant, Tomb Banshee:
These are the leaders of various units, instead of being individual characters like in AoS.
Myrmourn Banshees:
These are a scout unit, the ranged attack represents the Banshee howl attack.
Chainrasps:
The meat (metaphysically speaking of course) of the army. These will be twelve strong and led by the Knight of Shrouds. Classed as Light Infantry, they are a big block speedbump really.
Glaivewraith Stalkers:
These models aren't actually in the Dragon Rampant list, i just had them at something like 70% completion and decided to clear them off the desk as i was working on the dead stuff.
Dragon Rampant is a much smaller set game then AoS, games are typically played up to about 30-40 points.
So here is my 30 point Ghostly undead list:
- 3 model Heavy Riders unit (leader, enchanted weapon, flying, undead) - 7 points.
- 3 model Scouts unit (flying, undead) - 4 points.
- 6 model Bellicose Foot unit (undead, enchanted weapon) - 5 points.
- 12 model Light Foot unit (undead, offensive) - 5 points.
- 1 Lesser Warbeast (undead, flame attack, flying) - 8 points.
The list is actually 29 points, but who's counting??
Most of the units are reduced model count meaning that individual models will have multiple wounds.
I am aiming to get this force completed for Halloween this year, for extra spookiness.
I may even be able to get my Stormcast up to the same level in order to have a few games.
I'll go into an overview of the game properly once i have stuff done in order to post a battle report alongside my explanation and thoughts of the game in the future*.
Until next time...

* Kind of late to the party with Dragon Rampant as it's been out for a few years now, but i like it and it deserves to be more well-known then it is!
