Leaked Winged Beasts Swoop Into Warhammer Fantasy Soon
September 2, 2014 by brennon
Some more leaks have popped up on the internet via Grot Orderly for what's coming in the final week of releases for The End Times and the Nagash part of the saga by Games Workshop. See what you think of the Morghasts and some spook Spirit Hosts...
First up we have the Morghasts which come as both Archai and Harbingers in the same duel kit. I am once again a big fan of what's coming out of Games Workshop right now and I think this shows a real dedication to make this release something that's not just a flash in the pan. I want to know how these things work as well as they look amazingly cool. I think I need to look at making my Vampire Counts army a reality again.
A deadly array of Spirit Hosts, like those that swirl around Nagash, will also hit the webstore and I am still a big fan of these too. I like the look of them as cruel and evil pieces that are decidedly better than the weird ghosts we used to see. It's cool to see them actually coming out of the skeletons too which is a nice touch and anchors them into a narrative and the base mechanically.
In a switch up to the focus there is also a bit of showing off when it comes to the Salamanders and these kits are from Forge World. Maybe we'll see a fiery switch to Warhammer 40,000 in the coming weeks?
What do you think of these additional releases?

ok it looks cool, and I know its undead and all, and its GW, but is that skeleton made of skulls? reminds me of the simpsons where Nelson draws a picture of A robot with guns for arms shooting a plane made out of guns that fires guns
There has been no one to feed the Flying Monkeys since the Wicked Witch of the West got melted by Dorothy, poor things 🙁
Note: This is what called a “joke”, not to be confused with, “Haterism”
Thank you
HMMMM
hahaha
ROLF!
I think you have a point 😉
the ghosts look awesome 🙂 they’ve got a great sense of movement to the sculpts 🙂 loving the interaction with the scenery and skeletons on the base, very dynamic looking 😉 … if they’re at a reasonable price could be worth it 🙂 look quite useful for other games too, would look great in a dungeon crawler 😉 hmm… there’s aspects I like about the Morghasts, and some I’m not so sure about… but the one’s with the staff weapons are definitely the best looking of the two versions 🙂 … lot’s of potential, but would need a lot of… Read more »
There’s better movement in the ghosts than there is in the Nagash sculpt. I don’t mind the Oz monkeys, but of course now it comes down to cost.
just seen this price list 🙂
Morghasts £36 for 2
Spirit Hosts ( ghosts ) £16 for 3 😀 😀 😀
those ghosts have a much better price than I was expecting 🙂
… seeing as you get 3 bases worth, and there’s 3 on each base,
that works out to about £1.77 for each ghost ;D

You can probably do better by ordering the ghost bits that come with that vampire flying chariot thing. IMO they look better anyway.
All look great. I really hope they price those morghasts between £30 to £36 because I will probably buy them if they are.
Spirit hosts look amazing. Now, zombies please GW!
Whilst those current GW zombies are perhaps a little old they are all solid models imo and defo good value for money.
Do you really want GW to release a lazy box of ten mono-pose zombies (no options) for £25 for ten ?
Order the Mantic ones. They’re a lot cheaper and better models IMO.
Those Morghasts look solid but they better be damn big (and powerful enough in game) to warrant such an expensive price tag. I assume they’re twice the size of the usual Monstrous Infantry.
Ghosts are perfectly fine models but hardly creative and certainly not worth the £16 price tag (!!!) but such is GW’s weird pricing of its plastics.
That ain’t bad… seeing as you get 3 bases worth, and there’s 3 on each base, that works out to about £1.77 for each ghost.
I like the spirit hosts. I wonder if they could split up…make the faces look more alien and you could do a pretty cool looking 40k xeno army.
Even though I don’t play WFB I really like the design of the Spirit Hosts, very dynamic. I could see those working in a Dungeon Crawler just as well.
The spirit hosts look cool.
Definitely not a fan of the Morghasts, but the spirit hosts are ace! Very dynamic. I’m not a fan of spirit hosts in game-play, but I can see them as cool unit fillers 🙂
I’m digging them because I need some large skeletal demons for my undead Chaos Horde!
I like the Morghasts and the Spirit Hosts. The Spirit Hosts have a nice dynamic appearance and actually look like ethereal, spectral creatires more than their predecessors did – a difficult effect to get right in a miniature format. The Morghasts are giants undead bone demon things – you have to love that. And their lore ***spoilers for anyone who doesn’t have the books yet*** is good too, with the idea that they were originally essentially angels of Ptra sent to kill Nagash, but he was too powerful and slaughtered them all, before raising them to unlife in a form… Read more »
Oh, and lets not forget that with the Lore of Undeath you can use Ryse – the Grave Call to summon the things at the highest casting value. Nagash can ues his special rule to get 450 points of them, add in a few raise the dead tokens and he can get six Morghast Harbingers from one spell, and if they take losses he can use Invocation of Nehek to heal 1 plus his mastery level of wounds on them (they aren’t vampiric, ethereal or large targets), for six wounds back all in one go, seven with the Lore attribute.… Read more »
