Energised by the magical tempest, they launch their attack, weapons wreathed in celestial energy.

Nighthaunt Dice $20
Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief $45
She is the Mourning Bride, the Unrequited Queen, the Veiled Lady and the Mortarch of Grief. She is despair made manifest, gloom given form. She is Lady Olynder, and in her are bound all the sorrows and anguishes of the realms. Her power transcends the melancholic, for she exudes mind-crippling waves of pure desolation. Mortals in her presence are overwhelmed by a gloom so heavy that only the strongest willed can stay upright. Most fall to their knees, mentally battered by their own utter hopelessness. It is a sorrow potent enough to cause a mother to forsake her child, a warrior to lay down his sword and accept the inevitable, to stop a beating heart.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief. As the Mortarch of Grief, she is surrounded by an aura of absolute misery – this miniature does an impressive job of capturing the bleakness. Hovering above the ground in her ghastly bridal dress and veil, little can actually be seen of her form other than the outline of a skull. Her bridal train, ruined and shredded, flows out behind her, with a wisp of this ethereal garment attaching the miniature to its base. Thorny vines of grave-roses, which sprout wherever she floats, wrap themselves around her waist and up to her headdress, which itself resembles a thorned briar. In her right hand she wields the Staff of Midnight, an ornate stave topped with a polished gemstone of vitrified grave-sand. She is accompanied by 2 macabre Banshee Handmaidens, horrifying skull-faced spectres. Each carries a gift – an ensorcelled grave-sand hourglass given by Nagash himself which can be smashed asunder with lethal effect, and a sealed casket, the contents of which are a mystery; hardly likely to be anything at all positive…
This model comes as 23 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round base.
Stormcast Eternals Lord-Exorcist $35
The Lord-Exorcist is a master at channeling celestial energy to banish daemons and gheists. Even Nagash, in his towering arrogance, has been forced to take note of these figures, for they carry the light of Order, and are anathema to even the most hateful undead spectre. By slamming the heel of their ceremonial staves upon the ground, Lord-Exorcists can send out a wave of crackling null energy that will banish a soul from its body – and drive it far into the wilderness. The Lord-Exorcist also has purview over the lost souls of enemies, able to send them back to Azyr, where those who can be saved begin the long, arduous process of redemption.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Lord-Exorcist. Clad in the imposing sigmarite armour of the Stormcast Eternals, this miniature is covered in magical iconography that signifies his status as an arch-manipulator of lost souls. Sigils and scriptures adorn his surfaces, with a large headpiece and belt adornment in the shape of the twin-tailed comet. He holds a book of magic in his left arm, open to a particular passage, and in his his hand grasps the Redemption Stave: this features at the top a casket which traps the spirits of the dead ready for judgment by the strange scales that sit either side. A spirit is depicted being drawn into this casket, ready to face its journey of redemption, and the symbol of the Sacrosanct Chamber is picked out in metal above it all.
This kit comes as 8 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round base.
Endless Spells: Stormcast Eternals $35
The cataclysmic necroquake of Shyish has flooded the Mortal Realms with the powers of the aether. Incantations summon forth new conjurations of unprecedented power and frightful sentience, but beware – such endless spells can be treacherous, as likely to turn upon their caster as they are to devastate the enemy. From unleashing disembodied gnashing jaws to devour your foes, to raising prismatic barricades to protect your flanks, doing battle in the time of the Arcanum Optimar is unlike anything that has come before. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 3 Endless Spells usable by Stormcast Eternals wizards in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. When used with the Malign Sorcery rules, these can be incredibly powerful tools in your magical arsenal. Included:
– A Celestian Vortex: this is a whirling tornado of Azyrite magic, which carries a storm of hammers cast in the image of Ghal Maraz, the Great Shatterer. Anyone caught in the vortex’s path is hurled, smashed and broken, into the dirt;
– A Dais Arcanum: this circular platform inscribed with icons of the 8 winds of magic and orbited by 3 twin-tailed comets bears a rider upon the winds of Azry and bolsters their mastery of the arcane arts;
– An Everblaze Comet: a shooting star plucked from the firmament and slammed down into enemy lines, this is a large meteoric rock with a sculpted base depicting its devastating impact.
This kit comes as 12 components supplied on gold-coloured plastic, and includes 2 Citadel 65mm Round bases and a Citadel 50mm Round base. Warscrolls are found in Battletome: Stormcast Eternals.
Endless Spells: Nighthaunt $35
The cataclysmic necroquake of Shyish has flooded the Mortal Realms with the powers of the aether. Incantations summon forth new conjurations of unprecedented power and frightful sentience, but beware – such endless spells can be treacherous, as likely to turn upon their caster as they are to devastate the enemy. From unleashing disembodied gnashing jaws to devour your foes, to raising prismatic barricades to protect your flanks, doing battle in the time of the Arcanum Optimar is unlike anything that has come before.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 3 Endless Spells usable by Nighthaunt wizards in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. When used with the Malign Sorcery rules, these can be incredibly powerful tools in your magical arsenal. Included:
– A Shyish Reaper: the ultimate manifestation of finality and death, this is an enormous scythe which swings through the air tearing away mortal souls, sending them screaming into the underworlds;
– A Vault of Souls: this chest siphons away souls – 5 of which are visible as skulls, protruding from the Vault itself – eventually bursting under the pressure, sending forth a lethal explosion that strikes all nearby;
– A Mortalis Terminexus: an hourglass of fate, standing on a column of ethereal energy, which can interfere with the passage of time. This can restore youth and vitality – or wither and age, in the merest blink of an eye.
This kit comes as 16 components supplied on gold-coloured plastic, and includes 2 Citadel 50mm Round bases and a Citadel 100mm Oval base. Warscrolls are found in Battletome: Nighthaunt.
Grimghast Reapers $45
In life, those who were to become Grimghast Reapers were careful and meticulous killers. In death, they never cease in their long, sweeping strokes that mercilessly cut the enemy down a rank at a time, and they never tire. Like clockwork, they endlessly repeat their deadly shearing strikes. The grim spectres move quickly, hovering down to attack, doing so with jarring motions antithetical to the graceful movements of the living. They seem to start and stop, travelling in convulsive bursts; but they are fast for all that.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to build 10 Grimghast Reapers. These indiscriminate spectral killers are notable for consisting of little more than a heavy robe atop a wisp-like ethereal form. Their tortured faces are wrapped in a scrap of sanctified shroud, which prevents them from vision – either physical or witch-sight – a curse which keeps them in a white-hot fury. Each carries a slasher scythe, which they are posed sweeping in a lunging motion; you have the option to build 1 miniature as an Extoller of Shyish, the unit leader. The Extoller of Shyish carries a death knell – a great bell whose tolling strikes to honour the Supreme Lord of the Undead. 2 death knells are included. Each miniature is attached to its base via a gravestone from which its form exudes; an appropriately macabre detail.
This kit comes as 32 components, and is supplied with 10 Citadel 32mm Round bases.
Crawlocke the Jailor $40
Spirit Torments such as Crawlocke are entrusted with a duty Nagash considers vitally important – it is their role to capture the souls of transgressors, those who have escaped their due fate. A Spirit Torment draws its victim’s soul into its shacklegheist chains, heavy bonds forged of malefic iron and tempered by fell ritual. The accompanying Chainghasts are such eternally-imprisoned victims, bound to automatically obey every command of their Spirit Torment master, doomed to an inexplicable but impossible yearning for freedom.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble Crawlocke the Jailor – a Spirit Torment – and 2 accompanying Chainghasts. Crawlocke himself is little more than an ethereal wisp, with emaciated arms reaching from under a shroud – featuring the tormented faces of the damned – to grasp his large, ensorcelled padlock and set of heavy keys, which are used to belabour the living. There are 3 choices of grim face mask for the Spirit Torment, and his ethereal form is trapped within a confining gibbet cage, from which a grave-sand filled hourglass dangles. The accompanying Chainghasts each carry a pair of Ghastflails, with robes covering their forms. There are 4 different masks available for the Chainghasts, each entirely closed and sinister, and there are included 8 pieces of scenery detritus – sections of gibbet, broken locks and metal – with which to decorate the bases.
This kit comes as 30 components, and is supplied with 2 Citadel 32mm Round bases and a Citadel 40mm Round base.
Hexwraiths $33
Upon ghostly steeds, the Hexwraiths ride right through their foes, turning blood to ice and snatching souls from screaming warriors. Once knights both proud and cruel, they relive their glory by visiting pain and death upon the races of the realms.
This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 91 components with which to make 5 Hexwraiths, wielding spectral scythes. One model can be assembled as a Hellwraith, leader of the unit.
This kit can optionally be used to assemble 5 Black Knights. Supplied with 5 Citadel 60x35mm Oval bases.
