About Nighthaunt — Lore & How They Play
The Lore
Tormented spirits dragged from the underworlds to surge across the field as a weightless, wall-passing tide.
On the Tabletop
Fast, ethereal shock troops that ignore terrain and fear.
The Nighthaunt are Nagash's spectral legions: tormented ghosts, banshees and wraiths that glide through walls and terrify the living. Translucent green-glow paint schemes and fast, ethereal play make them one of the most atmospheric armies in Age of Sigmar.

A white or grey primer, a green or blue Contrast and a quick drybrush gets the classic spectral glow fast.
Who leads the Nighthaunt?
Nagash rules all the dead, with Lady Olynder as Mortarch of Grief. Both are in this range.
Are Nighthaunt fast?
Yes. Ghosts glide over terrain and strike from unexpected places, making them a slippery army.
