PanzerKaput's Slow Descent Into Madness and The Age Of Sigmar Spearhead

I have always liked the Nighthaunt models and had a ton of them from lockdown as I collected the Age of Sigmar Mortal Realms magazine and they have really just sat there waiting on my pile of shame. As this edition of AoS has Spearhead forces and that is the game that I am interested in playing I have a look through the forces and in particular the Nighthaunt Slasher Host and realised I have the models for these.

From Shyish, the Realm of Death, come the ethereal Nighthaunt – incorporeal spirits driven to murder by their bitter hatred for the living. These spectres are the terror weapon of the Great Necromancer, united under the cruellest and most tortured rulers ever to die. At the command of a wretched Knight of Shrouds, swirling hordes of vicious Chainrasps drag down enemies for the cold scythes of maddened Grimghast Reapers, while Spirit Hosts of damned souls turn blood to ice with a touch.

Seeing what I needed, a Knight of Shrouds on foot, 3 Spirithost stands, 2 units of 10 Chainrasps and 2 units of Grimgast Reapers, and having these I start of assemble and prep for them.

I started with a unit of Chainrasps, to get the feel of them and did a test one and painted the whole unit.

But I made a mistake and instead of picking up the white primer I stupidly picked on a white spray crackle paint and thought, well feck it, lets try and look what it looks like, and I was rather pleased but I decided that I am not painting the whole force that way as it blocks some of the details.

So here is my first unit of Chainrasps. I painted them using washes and drybrushes, really simple, but quite effective and followed some of the painting video on the Warhammer YouTube channels.
