New Cursed Sepulchres rules empower Soulblight Gravelord manifestations, amplifying necromantic magic and battlefield control.
The Soulblight Gravelords are bringing new horrors to the table with a fresh set of Manifestations and a terrain piece steeped in necromantic energy. Whether you’re leading the Barrow Kingdoms into battle or just looking to bring a little extra Shyishian magic to your Age of Sigmar games, these new additions promise to make your undead horde even harder to put down.
Cursed Sepulchres: Necromantic Powerhouses
The Mortal Realms are filled with places of death and tragedy, and the Soulblight Gravelords have figured out how to turn them into tactical advantages. The Cursed Sepulchres serve as focal points for death magic, acting as Loci of Shyish. These structures extend the reach of necromancers, allowing them to summon their Soulblight Gravelord Manifestations with greater ease.
Each kit comes with three structures designed to look like ancient, decayed mausoleums. They can be built in multiple configurations, including an open-roof design. If you’re running a Nighthaunt army, these can even be assembled as the Nexus of Grief, a version tailored to the ghostly forces of Nagash.
New Manifestations of the Grave
Three powerful spectral constructs join the ranks of the Soulblight Gravelords, bringing a mix of disruption, healing, and raw offensive power.
The Hand of Nagash – A spectral claw representing the Supreme Lord of the Undead himself. This manifestation can slash through enemies or immobilize them in a Chill Grasp, reducing their control score and limiting movement abilities. It’s a great way to shut down key threats before they become a problem.
Unholy Reliquary – This construct channels the power of an elder vampire’s remains, allowing Soulblight Gravelords Heroes to heal or supercharge their attacks. Whether you need to keep a key character in the fight or increase the damage output of your strongest warriors, this spectral shrine offers serious tactical flexibility.
Sanguine Swarm – A cloud of vampiric bats that harass the enemy with Leeching Bites, dealing damage while restoring their own vitality. The swarm consists of two connected colonies that must stay within a short distance of each other, but they can attack separately, creating an annoying distraction for your opponent.
What This Means for Soulblight Gravelords Players
From the looks of it these new Soulblight Gravelord Manifestations add serious versatility to the army. Whether you want to shut down enemy movement, boost your own heroes, or unleash a flurry of fast-moving attacks, these spectral constructs have you covered.
Pair them with the Deathrattle Army Set, which will be the first place to grab the new Battletome: Soulblight Gravelords, and you’ll have everything needed to raise a devastating force of undead warriors.
For those leading the spectral legions of the Nighthaunt, the Nexus of Grief will have its own rules available for free on Warhammer Community. Keep an eye out for more details as they emerge.
Final Thoughts on the New Soulblight Gravelords Manifestations
With the new Soulblight Gravelord Manifestations, Cursed Sepulchres, and the upcoming battletome, the Soulblight Gravelords are looking stronger than ever. Whether you’re a long-time fan of undead armies or just getting started, these additions bring new ways to crush the living and claim victory for Nagash.
