Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead, is armed with Alakanash and Zefet-nebtar.
WIZARD: The number of spells this unit can attempt to cast in your hero phase is determined using the Nine Books of Nagash ability below. This unit can attempt to unbind any number of spells in the enemy hero phase. If this unit is part of a Nighthaunt, Flesh-eater Courts, Ossiarch Bonereapers or Soulblight Gravelords army, it knows all of the spells from the spell lores in that faction’s allegiance abilities in addition to the other spells it knows.
WARMASTER: This unit can be included in a Nighthaunt, Flesh-eater Courts, Ossiarch Bonereapers or Soulblight Gravelords army. If it is, it is treated as a general even if it is not the model picked to be the army’s general.

Alakanash, the Staff of Power: This staff is capped with gems of purest Shyishan realmstone.

Pyregheists are malevolent spectres obsessed with committing mortal prey to the flames. They represent Nagash’s spite at its most cruel and twisted, for each of these wraiths was in life an embalmer or crematorium-priest who sought to preserve the flesh or souls of mortals against the Great Necromancer’s judgement.

Endless Spell
The hourglass of fate known as the Mortalis Terminexus can speed the passage of time, ageing those nearby to bones and dust in the blink of an eye - or it can instead be used to reverse time, restoring youth and vitality. SUMMONING: This endless spell is summoned with a spell that has a casting value of 6 and a range of 12". Only NIGHTHAUNT WIZARDS can attempt to summon this endless spell. If successfully cast, set up this endless spell wholly within range and visible to the caster, and more than 1 from all models and other endless spells or invocations. PREDATORY: This endless spell is a predatory endless spell. You can move it up to 8" and it can fly. Keeper of Mortality: A Mortalis Terminexus holds the power of life and death within its shimmering form. After this endless spell has moved, the player who moved it can decide whether the Mortalis Terminexus will reverse time or hasten time. If they choose to reverse time, heal D3 wounds allocated to each unit within 6" of this endless spell. If they choose to hasten time, roll a dice for each unit within 6" of this endless spell. On a 2+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. | ||
The soul-hungry Shyish Reaper is the ultimate manifestation of finality and death. Its blade passes through armour with ease to cleave flesh and rip away the spirit, sending it screaming into the underworlds. SUMMONING: This endless spell is summoned with a spell that has a casting value of 6 and a range of 6". Only NIGHTHAUNT WIZARDS y can attempt to summon this endless spell. If successfully cast, set up this endless spell wholly within range and visible to the caster, and more than 1" from all models and other endless spells or invocations. PREDATORY: This endless spell is a predatory endless spell. You can move it up to 8" and it can fly. Before moving this endless spell, you can pivot the endless spell on the centre of its base so that it is facing in any direction. This pivot is free and does not count towards the distance the endless spell moves. When you move this endless spell, it must move in a straight line in the direction the tip of the blade is pointing. Soul Reaper: A Shyish Reaper is always on the hunt for souls and can change direction without warning to sweep through its prey from an unexpected angle. Armour counts for naught against the deathly touch of the enchanted blade. After this endless spell has moved, roll 2 dice for each unit that it passed across (including models it moved over when it pivoted) and each other unit that is within 1" of it at the end of its move. Add 1 to the roll if that unit is terrified. For each roll that is equal to or greater than the unit’s Save characteristic, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. | ||
This summoned chest siphons souls, filling itself to overflowing with the rich spirits of mortalkind. Ever greedy for more, it eventually bursts, sending forth a lethal explosion of imprisoned soul energy to assail all those nearby. SUMMONING: This endless spell is summoned with a spell that has a casting value of 6 and a range of 6". Only NIGHTHAUNT WIZARDS can attempt to summon this endless spell. If successfully cast, set up this endless spell wholly within range and visible to the caster, and more than 1" from all models and other endless spells or invocations. PREDATORY: This endless spell is a predatory endless spell. You can move it up to 8" and it can fly. Soul Eruption: Should a Vault of Souls glut itself too greedily, the captured spirits within will burst free, tearing at those nearby in their desperation to escape. After this endless spell has moved, roll a dice for each model within 6" of it. Add 1 to the roll if that model’s unit is terrified. On a 6+, that model’s unit suffers 1 mortal wound. Keep track of the number of mortal wounds caused by this endless spell. If the total is 10 or more at the end of any phase, roll a dice for each unit within 6" of this endless spell. Add 1 to the roll if that unit is terrified. On a 2+, that unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the roll, then this endless spell is dispelled. | ||

19.1 Casting Spells
In your hero phase, you can attempt to cast spells with friendly WIZARDS. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different WIZARD. In order to attempt to cast a spell, pick a friendly WIZARD, say which of the spells that they know will be attempted, and then make a casting roll by rolling 2D6. If the casting roll is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.
19.1.2 Unbinding Spells
If a spell is successfully cast, your opponent can pick 1 of their WIZARDS that is within 30" of the caster to attempt to unbind the spell before its effects are applied. In order to attempt to unbind a spell, first say which WIZARD will attempt to unbind it. Then make an unbinding roll by rolling 2D6. If the unbinding roll is greater than the roll used to cast the spell, then the spell is unbound and its effects are not applied. The number of spells a WIZARD can attempt to unbind is noted on their warscroll. Only 1 unbinding attempt can be made for each spell.
1.4.2 Your General
After you have picked your army, you must pick 1 model in your army to be your general. Generals are used to generate command points (see 6.0).
9.4 Flying
If the warscroll used by a model says that it can fly, you can ignore other models and terrain features when you trace the path of its move across the battlefield (it flies over them). In addition, when a model that can fly starts or finishes a move on a terrain feature, instead of tracing its move across the battlefield, you can trace it ‘through the air’, as shown in the diagram below.A flying model cannot finish a move on top of another model or finish a normal move, run or retreat within 3" of an enemy unit.
19.3.2 Dispelling Endless Spells
At the start of the hero phase, each player can attempt to dispel 1 endless spell with each friendly WIZARD and friendly PRIEST. The player whose turn is taking place makes all of their dispelling attempts first. If a WIZARD attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can attempt to cast or unbind 1 fewer spell in that hero phase. If a PRIEST attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can chant 1 fewer prayer in that hero phase. The same player cannot attempt to dispel the same endless spell more than once per phase.To attempt to dispel an endless spell, pick 1 endless spell that is within 30" of a friendly WIZARD or friendly PRIEST and that is visible to them. Then make a dispelling roll by rolling 2D6. If the roll is greater than the casting value of that endless spell, it is dispelled and removed from play. An endless spell cannot be summoned again in the turn that it is removed from play.

14.2 Slain Models
Once the number of wounds allocated to a model equals its Wounds characteristic, the model is slain and you cannot allocate any more wounds to it. A slain model is removed from play (see 1.2.2) after all of the wounds caused to its unit have been allocated and all attacks that inflicted damage on the unit have been resolved.

14.3 Wards
Some abilities allow you to roll a dice to negate a wound or mortal wound, or to allocate a wound or mortal wound to a unit other than the original target. Abilities of this type are referred to as wards, and the dice roll is referred to as a ward roll. Unless stated otherwise, the ward roll is made before the wound is allocated to the model in question. Up to 1 ward roll can be made for each wound or mortal wound, unless specified otherwise. If the ward roll is successful, the wound or mortal wound is negated and has no effect on the model. If a wound or mortal wound cannot be negated, you cannot make a ward roll for that wound or mortal wound.
14.5 Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities cause mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were caused.Mortal wounds caused while a unit is attacking are allocated at the same time as wounds caused by the unit’s attacks: after all of the unit’s attacks have been made. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated as soon as they are caused. Mortal wounds are allocated in the same way as wounds and are treated in the same manner as wounds for rules purposes.

6.1 Using Command Abilities
To use a command ability, you must spend 1 command point, pick 1 friendly model to issue the command, and pick 1 friendly unit to receive the command. Unless noted otherwise, the models that can issue commands and the units they can issue them to are as follows:- Unit champions can issue commands to their own unit (see 22.3.2).
- HEROES can issue commands to units that are wholly within 12" of them.
- Generals can issue commands to units that are wholly within 18" of them.
- TOTEMS can issue commands to units that are wholly within 18" of them.

11.1 Charge Moves
When you attempt a charge with a unit, make a charge roll for the unit by rolling 2D6. You can then make a charge move with each model in that unit by moving the model a distance in inches that is equal to or less than the charge roll. The first model you move in a unit attempting a charge must finish the move within 1/2" of an enemy unit. If this is impossible, no models in the unit can make a charge move.| You do not have to pick a target for a charge attempt before making the charge roll. | ||

Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, the attack wounds the target and your opponent must make a save roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified wound roll of 6 always wounds. A wound roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).
The NIGHTHAUNT and SUMMONABLE keywords are used in the following Nighthaunt warscrolls:
Redeploy
As the enemy draw close, battle-hardened warriors adjust their position to leave their foe at a disadvantage.You can use this command ability in the enemy movement phase after an enemy unit finishes a normal move, run or retreat. The unit that receives the command must be within 9" of that enemy unit and more than 3" from all enemy units. You can make a D6" move with the unit that receives the command, but it must finish the move more than 3" from all enemy units and cannot shoot later in the turn.
Unleash Hell
These warriors have prepared their missile weapons so they can unleash a devastating volley at the last possible moment.You can use this command ability after an enemy unit finishes a charge move. The unit that receives the command must be within 6" of that enemy unit and more than 3" from all other enemy units. Models in the unit that receives the command that are within 6" of the target unit can shoot in that phase, but when they do so, you must subtract 1 from hit rolls for their attacks and they can only target the unit that made the charge move.
The KNIGHT OF SHROUDS keyword is used in the following Nighthaunt warscrolls:
All-out Attack
With a singular purpose, these warriors attack with all of their might.You can use this command ability when you pick a friendly unit to shoot in your shooting phase or fight in the combat phase. That unit must receive the command. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made by that unit until the end of that phase.
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, the attack scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits. A hit roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Sometimes an ability will allow a single hit roll to score two or more hits. If this is the case, make all of the wound and save rolls for those hits at the same time.
14.1 Allocating Wounds
Wounds are allocated to the models in a unit 1 wound at a time. You can allocate the wounds caused to your units as you see fit. However, once you have allocated a wound to a model, you cannot allocate wounds to other models in the unit until that model is slain (see 14.2). If a unit is destroyed, all wounds that remain to be allocated to the unit are negated and have no effect.
Save Roll
Your opponent rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. If the roll equals or beats the target unit’s Save characteristic, the target is saved and the attack sequence ends. If not, the attack is successful and you must determine the damage that is inflicted on the target. An unmodified save roll of 1 always fails. A save roll cannot be modified by more than +1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Designer’s Note: Save rolls do not always succeed on an unmodified roll of 6, and they can be modified by more than -1.

Rally
At a shouted command, injured warriors stagger back to their feet and prepare to fight once more.You can use this command ability at the start of the hero phase. The unit that receives the command must be more than 3" from all enemy units. Roll 1 dice for each slain model from that unit. For each 6, you can return 1 slain model to that unit.
You can only return models to that unit that have a combined Wounds characteristic of 10 or less. For example, if the unit that received the command has a Wounds characteristic of 2, you can return a maximum of 5 models to that unit.
17.1.1 Cover
A target unit is in cover if all of the models in the unit are wholly on a terrain feature or behind a terrain feature. Add 1 to save rolls for attacks that target a unit that is in cover. A unit that has a Wounds characteristic of 10 or more or that has made a charge move in the same turn does not receive the benefit of being in cover.
8.1 Normal Move
When you pick a unit to make a normal move, you can move each model in that unit a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move characteristic shown on the unit’s warscroll. Units cannot move within 3" of enemy units when making a normal move. Units cannot make a normal move if they are within 3" of an enemy unit.
15.1 Battleshock Tests
You must make a battleshock roll for each friendly unit that has to take a battleshock test. To make a battleshock roll, roll a dice and add the number of models in the unit that were slain in that turn to the roll. If the battleshock roll is greater than the unit’s Bravery characteristic, the battleshock test has been failed. If the test is failed, for each point by which the battleshock roll exceeds the unit’s Bravery characteristic, 1 model in that unit must flee. You decide which models flee. A model that flees is removed from play.| If a slain model is returned to its unit in the same turn that it is slain, it still counts as having been slain in that battle round for the purposes of battleshock tests. | ||
8.2 Retreat
When you pick a unit to retreat, you can move each model in that unit a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move characteristic shown on the unit’s warscroll. The unit must end the move more than 3" from all enemy units. You cannot shoot or attempt a charge later in the turn with a unit that has retreated. Units cannot retreat if they are not within 3" of an enemy unit.
1.5.5 Dice Roll Modifiers
Sometimes a modifier will apply to a dice roll. Modifiers are applied after re-rolls. Rules that refer to an unmodified roll are referring to the dice roll after re-rolls have been made but before modifiers are applied. If a rule instructs you to pick or change a roll, do so after re-rolls are made but before modifiers are applied.| In most cases, modifiers are cumulative. However, some dice rolls, such as hit and wound rolls, will specify that the roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1. When this is the case, add up all the modifiers that apply, and if the total is more than +1 or -1, treat it as being either +1 or -1 as appropriate. | ||
The NIGHTHAUNT and WIZARD keywords are used in the following Nighthaunt warscrolls:
8.3 Run
When you pick a unit to run, you must make a run roll for the unit by rolling a dice. Add the run roll to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit until the end of that phase. You can then move each model in that unit a distance in inches equal to or less than their modified Move characteristic. No part of a run can be within 3" of an enemy unit. You cannot shoot or attempt a charge later in the turn with a unit that has run. Units cannot run if they are within 3" of an enemy unit.
