Painting and Converting Models: Nighthaunt

October 2021·pp. 18–21

THE SHORT VERSION

Converted spirits range from cursed Stormcast and a charred tree-creature to Lyle Lowery’s headless Mega-Gargant. Alternative ghost colours, entirely ethereal weapons and small narrative victims show how a Nighthaunt army can grow through stories of its members’ deaths rather than conventional military uniformity.

Fantastic War Hosts: The Nighthaunt

Nighthaunt hosts express the suffering, obsession and punishment of their former lives through ghostly bodies and sinister equipment. The article suggests using different realms to alter those supernatural appearances, from pitch-dark spirits to blazing pale forms, giving a haunting army a more individual origin.
