We’ve revealed the Arena of Shades Battlebox and announced that a new Nighthaunt battletome is on the way soon. And now, at AdeptiCon, we’ve seen a new Nighthaunt hero paddling into view.
In life, Awlrach the Drowner was a wicked ferryman who killed those he was supposed to be transporting (we’re sure you can guess his preferred method from his name). Nagash liked his style, so in death he is tasked with ferrying the spirits of the deceased to wherever the Lord of Death needs them.
This highly atmospheric new miniature perfectly fits the Nighthaunt range, but Awlrach adds more than just an eerie model to your forces. He has special rules to help your army get wherever it needs to be on the tabletop, offering his allies passage through the underworlds. When he’s not busy rowing, the Drowner is pretty handy in a fight with his oar – and we recommend staying away from the pointy end of his boat!
We can’t give away any of his rules in detail yet, but let’s just say it won’t be a ferrytale ending for your opponents when you unleash the Drowner upon them. Set sail for our hub page, where you can see all of the big announcements from AdeptiCon 2022.
We’ll have more on the oarsome Awlrach as we get closer to the pre-order date for the new Nighthaunt battletome – sign up for our newsletter to get the latest secrets from Shyish delivered straight to your inbox.
