Point values for some of the new units and spells in Age of Sigmar 2.0 have been spotted! Let’s dive deeper into the latest on these spells and battlefield roles of units.

Endless Spells Point Cost

You might have already this by now, but here is the table with the points for your nasty spells.

Checking out the top of the page, it looks like if you or your opponent have any endless spells, you have to roll off and look at another page. We aren’t exactly sure what will be on that page just yet.

What we do know is that you’re only allowed to pay the points for 1 spell per army and some cost more than others. But let’s be honest here,  Purple Sun should be the most expensive.

Pitched Battle Unit Profiles

This table shows what place your units will hold in the army. Take a look at the Sequitors. They can be a battleline option if your army is completely Stormcast and the general is a Lord Arcanum. sequitors

The Sequitors and Lord Arcanum were the new battle monk models that got teased at Warhammer Fest. Stormcast will be gearing up to have a more spell-heavy presence on the tabletop. There’s way too much Malign Sorcery running around for these guys not to have a say in it.

Obviously, Cahinrasp hordes are going to be battleline (no surprise there) and the Guardian of Souls, Knight of shrouds, and Lord executioner as a leader option for Nighthaunt. You can also take some units from Nighthaunt and use them in a Legion of Nagash army. Even though they are NIghthaunt models, they will gain the appropriate Legion of Nagash keyword. I.e Grand Host of Nagash, Legion of Sacrament, Legion of Blood, or Legion of Night.

These Nighthaunt units are:

  • Chainrasp Horde
  • Glaivewraith Stalker
  • Grimghast Reaper
  • Guardian of Souls
  • Knight of Shrouds on Etheral Steed
  • Lord Executioner
  • Spirit Torment

Most of these units are coming out in the Soul Wars box set. If you’ve already got a Legion of Nagash army, you can pick up a whole truckload of new units for your army at a great price.

What do you think about the points cost of endless spells? Will you be taking the Sequitors as a battleline? Will you be playing full Nighthaunt or sprinkle some into a Nagash Legion? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
