AOS : Nighthaunt

From Shyish, the Realm of Death, come the ethereal Nighthaunt – incorporeal spirits driven to murder by their bitter hatred for the living. These spectres are the terror weapon of the Great Necromancer, united under the cruellest and most tortured rulers ever to die. At the command of a wretched Knight of Shrouds, swirling hordes of vicious Chainrasps drag down enemies for the cold scythes of maddened Grimghast Reapers, while Spirit Hosts of damned souls turn blood to ice with a touch.

Shrieking and swirling from the grave, the spectral Nighthaunt bear Nagash’s malice. Punished for their crimes in life with eternal servitude to the Great Necromancer, their bitterness fuels them to fight without end. Only through terrorising and slaughtering the living can they find any flicker of satisfaction.

The Nighthaunt are cursed spirits, reshaped by Nagash's malice into a plague upon the living. Dwelling in lands wherever the touch of death lies heavy, these unquiet gheists exist only to torment mankind and spread fear across the realms. Billowing forth in shrieking hordes and clutching grave-iron blades, they reap the souls of the living with frenzied abandon.

The Nighthaunt gather across graveyards and battlefields. Ethereal horrors, they seek to visit their agonies upon the living and turn all the lands into a lifeless Necrotopia. Coalescing in dread processions, they descend upon their foes in a frenzied and incorporeal horde. Embittered and consumed by misery, they hate the living and vent their fury with ghastly talons and grave-iron blades. Surging from the lightless underworlds in their spectral masses, they will drown the realms in fear.

When the Nighthaunt mass for war, they coalesce around places of death. Upon sensing the living, they descend in a fast-moving horde. Shacklehordes are summoned around a Spirit Torment, impelled to capture souls to drag to the lightless realms of the underworlds.
