Warhammer Age of Sigma Nighthaunt Grimghast Reapers

TAG     : Warhammer Age of Sigma Nighthaunt Grimghast Reapers
GAME :  Age of Sigma

In the shadowy realms of Age of Sigmar, the Nighthaunt are a spectral faction born from the souls of the wronged and the forsaken. Among their ranks, the Grimghast Reapers stand out as fearsome and relentless warriors, embodying the essence of death and despair. These ethereal beings are the harbingers of doom, wielding their weapons with a chilling grace as they seek to claim the souls of the living.

Overview

The Grimghast Reapers are spectral warriors who serve the Nighthaunt, acting as both soldiers and collectors of souls. They are often seen gliding silently across the battlefield, their presence heralding the end for those who stand against them. With their haunting visages and eerie movements, they strike fear into the hearts of their enemies, embodying the inevitability of death.

Appearance and Gear

Grimghast Reapers are characterized by their ghostly appearance and distinctive weaponry:

Ethereal Forms: These spectral warriors are shrouded in tattered robes that flow like mist, their forms partially transparent and flickering with an otherworldly light. Their faces are often obscured, adding to their terrifying presence.

Weapons: Each Grimghast Reaper wields a sickle or scythe, designed for both slashing and harvesting. These weapons are not only deadly but also symbolic of their role as collectors of souls. The sickles are often adorned with runes and symbols that reflect their connection to the realm of death.

Armor: While they do not wear traditional armor, the ethereal nature of the Grimghast Reapers provides them with a form of protection against physical attacks, allowing them to phase through many forms of damage.

Tactics and Strategy

The Grimghast Reapers are known for their relentless and fearsome tactics on the battlefield:

Wave of Terror: They often advance in large numbers, overwhelming enemies with sheer force and the psychological impact of their presence. Their ability to instill fear can cause opponents to falter, making them easier prey.

Mobility and Evasion: As ethereal beings, Grimghast Reapers can move through terrain and obstacles with ease, allowing them to flank enemies and strike from unexpected angles. Their ability to phase through solid objects makes them difficult to pin down.

Soul Harvesting: In addition to their combat prowess, Grimghast Reapers are tasked with collecting the souls of the fallen. This ability not only serves their dark purpose but can also empower other Nighthaunt units, enhancing their effectiveness in battle.

Notable Leaders

Grimghast Reapers are often led by powerful Nighthaunt figures, such as Lord Executioners or Spirit Torments, who guide them in their relentless pursuit of souls. These leaders possess greater power and command over the spectral forces, ensuring that the Reapers remain focused on their grim task.

Conclusion

The Grimghast Reapers are a chilling embodiment of the Nighthaunt's purpose in the Age of Sigmar. As relentless harvesters of souls, they strike fear into the hearts of the living, reminding all that death is an inescapable fate. With their ethereal forms and deadly sickles, the Grimghast Reapers glide across the battlefield, sowing despair and chaos in their wake. In the eternal struggle between life and death, these spectral warriors serve as a haunting reminder that the Nighthaunt will always rise to claim what is theirs, ensuring that the cycle of life and death continues unabated.

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.
