Lady O is great at holding the fort, but I think she costs too much without giving enough. Her spell is great, but she eats up a leader slot which everyone has precious few of. Plus, having personally been on the recieving end of a Drowner and Bladegheists combo, it's much scarier than anything Lady O can do

The list above is of course just generic Nighthaunt Goodstuff, and if you want Reikenor, I'm sure you can drop the Guardian of Souls and a unit of non-reinforced Hexwraiths for Reikenor and a unit of Glaivewraith Stalkers

[swift peak]

That’s a pretty good Aggro list but it’s kind of trying to play matchup roulette imo

It’s basically gambling that Bladegheists with Special Assignment and +1/+1 will lift something

And, to be fair, they often do. But if you get hit first it’s trouble

[sharp jasper]

True enough. I would do more hexwraiths but its a lack of owning those models issue

[swift peak]

That unit of 5 is pretty fungible imo

I think the main lessons to take from that list are more Bladegheists

And that if you’re gonna go Reikenor over Guardian, Morbid is probably the play

[sharp jasper]

Its a unit of 10

But i can add more gheists

Ouhh sorry you were talking about the other list

My bad

[swift peak]

You have 10 Hexwraiths in your list already, the main difference is the 5-man

And tbh I don’t think those add much other than triggering MWs for the Harridans

And you can accomplish that in other ways

[sharp jasper]

I was going to use crossboos and drowner for tagging things for harridans to attack

That 10-man of Bladgheists feels like it could be Dreadblade Harrows or something

[sharp jasper]

It could be. Scoring piece

Same point cost

[swift peak]

Also not sure your Lord Exec is doing that much here

Now that I think about it those could be a blob of Harridans. Or maybe 2 x 10

You can trigger Harridans at will with Reikenor

[sharp jasper]

Its such awkward point costing

[swift peak]

It is

But sometimes high end lists land at 1970

I've seen high end lists land on 1950 too
