Let’s break down what’s on the way, why it matters, and what it means for your next army project.
Flesh-Eater Courts & Nighthaunts:
The Flesh-eater Courts and Nighthaunt are back, and they’re bringing some serious bite and ghostly flair to Age of Sigmar.
New battletomes, fresh rules, creepy models, and two Spearhead boxes packed with value are all hitting the table soon. So, whether you’re a ghoul fan or a ghost collector, there’s plenty here to get your hobby knife twitching.
Noble Delusions… and Feral Teeth
Battletome: Flesh-eater Courts
Flesh-eater Courts are back in a big way. These deluded vampire monarchs still think they’re the height of chivalry while feasting on raw flesh, and the new battletome captures every deranged bit of their lore and playstyle.
Expect updated army rules that lean into their madness. The new Delusions Battle Trait lets you tailor your army’s personality. Standard options aside, key Heroes bring their own flavor of crazy, giving players plenty of flexibility to theme lists around their vampire overlords.
The book also packs in heroic traits, artefacts of power, battle formations, and the Lore of Madness, everything you need to whip your cannibal horde into action.
New Model: High Falconer Felgryn
Felgryn is a brilliant addition. A vampire convinced he’s a royal falconer, stalking the battlefield with his “falcon” Grype and a flock of carrion creatures.
He’s a thematic linchpin who also buffs commoners and beasts in your army. Expect him to pop up in many lists thanks to his synergy and the fun narrative he brings.
The Charnel Watch Spearhead
If you’re looking for an easy entry or a solid expansion, the Charnel Watch Spearhead has your back. It includes an Abhorrant Gorewarden, Crypt Flayers, Crypt Horrors, and Royal Beastflayers.
Nighthaunt: Ghostly Terrors Reforged
Battletome: Nighthaunt
The Nighthaunt battletome refreshes their rules, replacing the older faction pack. It gives you new battle formations, heroic traits, artefacts, and a solid spell lore.
The Nexus of Grief is back and still essential, keeping your ghostly hordes regenerating and teleporting across the battlefield, while Mounting Dread chips away at enemy sanity.
New Model: Lord Vitriolic
Lord Vitriolic oozes character (and acid). This cursed soul, with arms full of foul potions, throws devastating bombs that either bypass enemy Ward saves or melt them in mortal wounds.
He is a fun addition who brings versatility and a nasty surprise for opponents relying on defensive buffs.
The Cursed Shacklehorde Spearhead
The Cursed Shacklehorde is packed with 25 models: Spirit Torment, Chainghasts, Dreadscythe Harridans, Bladegheist Revenants, and Dreadblade Harrows.
Perfect for anyone wanting to expand a current Nighthaunt force or start haunting the Mortal Realms from scratch.
Extras: Gamer’s Editions, Warscroll Cards, and Dice
Both armies get the full treatment with Gamer’s Editions of their battletomes, handy Warscroll Cards, and faction-themed dice. Nice to see GW catering to collectors who like their gaming accessories to match their armies.
Final Thoughts From Us:
If you’re looking to kickstart a Death army or add some new horrors to your collection, these releases are a no-brainer. The Flesh-eater Courts offer thematic, fast-paced gameplay with a strong narrative hook, while the Nighthaunt bring trickery, mobility, and a terrifying table presence.
Between the gorgeous new models and updated rules that reflect each army’s character, this is a perfect time to get building, painting, and gaming.
Death has never looked so good or terrifying.
