Warhammer: Age of Sigmar has a suspiciously Old World-shaped hole to fill ever since the end of Warhammer Fantasy. Instead of treading old ground, Age of Sigmar focused on high fantasy elements. Naturally, that meant every faction needed an equally fantastical update. Even factions as grisly as the Flesh-eater Courts and the Nighthaunt.
In the Old World, the Vampire Courts were your typical troupe of elitist bloodsuckers. As far as the undead went, they were surprisingly organized. Such is not the case for the Flesh-eater Courts, a tragic army of murder-happy undead, populated by the remnants of the old world’s human kingdoms. Even for the death-aligned Age of Sigmar armies, the Flesh-eater Courts are particularly unsettling.
These “survivors” are a ghastly reflection of who they used to be. Every single Flesh-eater, from lowly ghouls to their very monarch, believes they are still the honorable warriors they once were. Every innocent they butcher and feast upon is as noble as a knight celebrating a grand feast. A twisted end for the once-proud humanity they represented.

From the ravenous to the revenants, let’s move on to the Nighthaunt faction. Wholly unique to the Age of Sigmar setting, these cursed ghosts are “criminals” that Nagash punished with eternal agony. While some were murderous thugs in life, just as many are victims of Nagash’s ever-changing mood.
Nagash loves cruel irony, and that’s often how he transforms his victims. Suave serial killers turned into blood-crazy berserkers, not even aware enough to “appreciate” their work. Innocent healers who dedicated their lives to save lives transformed into psychotic reapers, deadset on killing the folks they once sought to save. All this to say, Nagash is the king of disproportionate retribution.
Here is every Nighthaunt miniature coming soon for preorder:
