The most numerous of all the spirits that join Nighthaunt processions are the Chainrasp Hordes. These gheists are created from the spirits of the most vicious and irredeemable criminals to have lived in the Mortal Realms. They are lesser spirits, held together in the afterlife by nothing other than their own never-ending spite and all-consuming madness, a negative energy which saps the will of their enemies. Chainrasps may have thought death to be an escape from terrible imprisonment but, in truth, it was merely the beginning.As with many Nighthaunt, the Chainrasp Hordes are little more than wisps of ethereal form willed into reality by sheer force of hatred. Each of these models is essentially a floating hooded cloak, from beneath which a twisted skull-face glares; hung variously from each models’ neck and arms is a heavy length of chain ending in an iron weight, a symbol of their deviant criminal history in life (1 model even has his wrist bound in stocks…) They are armed with malignant weapons – swords, axes and spiked maces – and the kit includes options for a Dreadwarden; this is the unit leader, face locked in an iron helm, carrying a large candelabra along with a set of heavy iron keys.This kit comes as 20 push-fit components to build 10 Chainrasps, and is supplied with 10 Citadel 25mm Round Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
