I have to agree with the ghost praise. I mean you can run the whole spectrum scary, sympathetic, pretty (oh look a pretty lady but blue), or omens of death. I'm tired of vampires hogging all the spotlight and are way easier to stop then a ghost, you have to fight an enemy who doesn't have to play by their rules.

[@changer_of_ways_999]

I really want the Ghoul Stars in Warhammer 40k to be expanded. One thing that has bothered me about 40k over Warhammer Fantasy is that Nurgle seems to have a monopoly on the domain of death that removes the phantom like elements that really should have a place in 40k, whereas in WFB and AoS, the undead is a force unto itself. Also, the Death Spectres are one of my favorite Space Marine chapters.

[@Bluecho4]

I've often thought that 40K could really use an equivalent to the Nighthaunt. The Warp is a scary place, full of the tormented souls of the dead. It only makes sense that if holes start opening up or psykers start summoning, ghosts would start appearing. Just picture in your mind the staggering _scale_ of the 40K setting. Quadrillions of people living on a million worlds, and that's just the Imperium as it is now. Now imagine that most of those people are _suffering,_ in one way or another. Maybe they were massacred in a rebellion, or by Chaos/Xenos raiders. Maybe they were captured by Dark Eldar and tortured for centuries before a single lapse in attention by their masters permitted them to perish. Maybe it's the astronomical number of beings, human or otherwise, genocided during the Great Crusade. Or maybe it's just the poor bastards living and dying under the Imperium's totalitarian, bureaucratic cruelty, used up and then discarded like a cog in a machine. The 40K universe, far more than AoS or WHF, is a place where people have lived and died badly. For whom their time in the world was pain, and the Warp offered no succor or balm for that pain. Perhaps some took solace or peace in death. Maybe the Emperor _does_ offer an afterlife to those whose faith is peerless (though we have little evidence to support this). Even if there is, if even a fraction of those who suffered and died DON'T end up at peace, that's still orders of magnitude more unquiet dead than there are people living in the 41st millennium. Now imagine if those souls decided to do something about it. And then imagine that, in the Era Indomitus, we had that whole galaxy-spanning tear in the galaxy disgorging the stuff of the Warp into Realspace. What I'm saying is, the galaxy should be replete with Stargeists. The Stargeists are motivated by many things, but rarely is it nonviolent. They have a lot of issues to work through, and that can manifest in many ways. Imagine ghosts that probe the edges of the Webway, trying to invade Commoragh and return all the pain they experienced back onto the Drukhari. Imagine a Tyranid hive fleet that isn't pursuing, but _being pursued_ by a tireless tide of phantoms, growing in number with every world the hive fleet devours and which cannot be eaten in turn. Imagine the religious upheavals within the Imperium, when the populace comes face to face with the souls of their loved ones, bearing news that No, the Emperor's promised afterlife is a lie and the Imperiun's citizens carry the weight of their exploitation with them in death. Imagine whole worlds that must be abandoned when fighting becomes so fever pitched, the ghosts begin to outnumber the combatants. Imagine an Inquisitor committing exterminatus on a planet, only to find millions of his victims rise up an hour later and swarm his ship.

[@Lunch_Meat]

A friend of mine did something with this for his homebrewed "chaos" guards way, WAAAAY back in 3-4th edition. He used FB undead models (Skellies and zombies) for his troops and the story was that a psycher got got by some kind of chaos spirit of emptiness and the abyss and turned into basically a space necromancer. He did a good job with the conversions and he came up with a "raise dead" rule that was basically exactly what GW ended up using for the necrons when they got their codex. Worked good.

Nighthaunts is actually my introduction to this game. A friend of mine plays Skaven and I actually found Age of Sigmar to be really enjoyable, but I've personally just come to really enjoy the Nighthaunts especially. Now I didn't paint them (this was another friends army I was borrowing, very nerve wracking holding what is essentially thin plastic toys; just very expensive ones), but it was basically me getting my toes wet with the tabletop. It has inspired me to build a Tzeentch army personally, if for nothing more than the bright colors that most of his units get, and an army that isn't as physically frail to pick up. Also Deathknights added into a Nighthaunt army with that one artifact that just revives one dead summonable unit per battle is absolutely hilarious. The enemy Verminlord Corrupter who took the charge was not feeling very good after the fact.

He won't hunt them down and destroy them all if they fetch him some top notch souls, they get soul-scraps and left alone for the most part. Make it a real 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation as in lore Nagash believes that the Idoneth are stealing souls that he "rightfully claimed" first. He called dibs! And shotgun!

Could even go full meta and still be following the allies through this whole thing... have heroic moments and 'brother in arms' romances, just following zombies. Zombies can have feelings about war, right? Even easier to do a Zombie movie that happens to be set in WW2: Just pick any town that wasn't bombed to dust, show them struggling with limitations brought on by war while not being directly part of it, and then... zombies. All the costumes can be used, all the set pieces from Europe 1930's can be pulled out, and we film it like a romantic drama until... zombies.

I think if a Sigmarite Priest used a Mace or Hammer of their own to fight undead specters and ghouls they would actually succeed in banishing them to the afterlife permanently, kinda like when a Soul Reaper/Shinigami from Bleach sends off a spirit into Soul Society almost like a blessing or when they kill Hollows, their spiritual energy returns to the cycle of life, death and rebirth. (Except for when Quincy like when Ichigo Kurosaki's friend Uryuu Ishida use their bows, they just erase Hollows completely and their spiritual energy just dissipates into nothingness. Even their slaying of Hollows is almost like a mercy because they return to the flow of existence. But that's only if they don't go to hell like that one guy who essentially murdered that kid and his mom, and afterwards became a hollow and found that same kid's ghost, then put his spirit into a parakeet and used him to lure in human prey to devour their souls, like how he tried to do with Chad. The literal Gates of Hell opened up for him to get sucked into. Which is weird that they don't really have a heaven, so Soul Society itself is more of a kind of Purgatory almost like Dante Allegiri's Divine Comedy trilogy).

Lady of Sorrows is one of the AOS books released do far. Top Rec.

I can't wait for your video on flesh eater courts, God the death faction is so good

[@Yelchor]

We really should make a comeback to more gothic-horror centric stories. And ghosts are the perfect entity for that, because they are by their very nature UNKNOWABLE. They operate on logic we can't comprehend. The very unknown nature of them makes it so much more frightening.

[@redprince4041]

I’m so happy my boy is getting sponsors

[@MrZippidydoodahh]

I bought into ghosts for the looks and mechanics, left because I couldn't home brew enough to invest myself in their story. So, very valid story con. I hope they add some story where non characters can self direct. Or allow for a necromancer warlord to literally flesh out motivations

So does everyone who dies in AOS end up under Nagash? Like it’s either hell, Nagash or the slim chance of being reincarnated by Sigmar.

Aching for your take on the super Slan sucking the magic out of an area to ensure their cold ones can cleanse the battlefield. Sigmar gave the lizardmen an interesting spawn play but, like the great crowd I miss the old world.

[@IapitusMcHeimer]

To make ghosts more popular, I think we need to popularize some of the sub kinds of ghosts. Unlike some other monsters, there are a lot of different sub categories of ghost that work pretty differently. Some ghosts are basically just demons, others are akin to slasher villains you can't shoot

[@ianyoder2537]

Honestly I'm tired of zombies, we need a new hoard monster to represent the decay of society. I nominate goblins. I'd also like to add my friend Angela's suggestion of using sasquach/ bigfoot as another viable option to fill the niche of campy low budget horror movie monsters. But yes, I agree ghosts are underrated.

[@plinfan6541]

If we are talking Apocalipse stuff, that is keeping the transforming stuff, I would like something were people turn into something cooler then a brainless husk. Like in the Manwa "Sweet Home", were the "Infection" is a tempting voice. And if you accept a deal with it, you turn into a monster that is based on whatever strong desires you had as a human.

[@ianyoder2537]

@@plinfan6541 I'm a fan of sweet home too. If were talking about monsters that can turn humans into them that I think that's a perfect opportunity to bring back werewolves. There like the 2nd or 3rd most famous monster to western audiences but it always feels like they get sub par or under rated movies, and if they are in a good story there always overshadowed by something else (usually vampires.) Werewolves are such a great monster but it feels like no one knows what to do with them, besides furies, and they don't really fit into the type of horror I'm going for.

[@matijasostojic4288]

@@ianyoder2537 Yea were wolves don't get a lot of love in media that also has other monsters or supernatural shit in it. The only one that comes to mind is World of darkness but that mostly because werewolf is like the 3rd most popular game in that setting. (If you don't know what WoD is, picture DnD but modern day and everything supernatutal ever exists at the same time, hiden from wider society). A army of werewolves or werecreatures in general sounds so cool.
