8" 1 5+ 1 On they come in the dark of night, a tide of moaning, rattling curse-gheists each with a history as black as a rotten tooth. The greater portion of Nagash’s spectral legions, Chainrasps are the twisted spirits of criminal souls who, towards the ends of their lives, believed that death would at least be a respite. Some lived out their last months locked in stocks or bound by chain and padlock; others had cruel metal masks nailed to their skulls or heavy weights tied to their limbs. Regardless, they all went to their deaths sure of a longed-for change – only to find the ruler of Shyish would alter only their form and not their curse.
Remade as gheists, these unfortunate souls were bound eternally to the trappings of their disgrace. Now Chainrasps have only their hatred and envy of the living to call their own, for all hope is denied to them. In times of war, they swarm in great ectoplasmic hosts; they can drag down even the hardiest soldiers in sufficient numbers. With claws and spectral blades, they hack and tear at their prey, finding the briefest flicker of respite in every mortal being they send screaming into the afterlife. | ||

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! | ||
