8" 3 4+ 1 Chainghasts are the servants and enforcers of the Great Oubliette. They are wrought from the soul-stuff of those who beseeched the gods to free them from imprisonment, whether it was justified or otherwise, but did not include Nagash in their entreaties. Their punishment is to retain a dim sliver of awareness, just enough to desire their liberty, yet be bound to obey and assist more powerful gheists such as Spirit Torments in the capturing of mortal souls.
All Chainghasts are masked in iron and bound in an endless state of misery at their personal incarceration. They are clad in heavy chains of cursed blackiron, these fetters alloyed with the most despairing of emotions. Known to the sepulchre-keepers and deathseers of Shyish as ghastflails, these dread weapons are the means by which the Chainghasts reap more souls for their masters. When whirled with sufficient force, these flails build up a charge of purest misery – an amethyst aura that is then unleashed to fly outwards as spectral bolts of flame. These are no normal fires, for they can burn the target’s very soul. Even those who survive are left catatonic and broken, easy prey for the Nighthaunt to overwhelm. | ||

When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
