Nighthaunt collectors need a fair sealed floor, clean title matching, and a short path from first box to a playable shelf. This guide is buying advice — live prices and kits live on the Nighthaunt army hub.
Spectral hosts of Nagash's will. Nighthaunt are ethereal undead: Chainrasps, Grimghast Reapers, and spectral heroes. The range is dense with character kits.
Where to start buying
Start with Spearhead: Nighthaunt. Open the box page, compare sealed all-in prices to complete used comps for the same edition, then set a watch under the middle of the sealed band. The Nighthaunt start path walks the same decision in order.
Cross-check the Nighthaunt army hub for every kit that currently ships to you — Spearhead floors move, and a “cheap” listing is only cheap if it matches the same contents.
What to buy after the Spearhead
Spearhead: Nighthaunt first. Add Chainrasps or Grimghast Reapers second. Keep Soulblight vampires out of Nighthaunt watches.

Common listing traps
- +Soulblight kits in Vampire Counts lots.
- +Incomplete Chainrasp hordes.
- +Lady Olynder listings missing parts.
When photos look thin, read how to spot incomplete used kits and sealed vs opened vs painted before you pay.
How to read the price
Fair value is the recent sealed and complete-used cluster for that exact box — not MSRP. What is a Spearhead worth? explains how we read floors. Prefer all-in landed cost (shipping, duties, tax) over sticker price.

No. This post is long-form buying advice. The army hub is the entity home for kits, floors, and reading lists. Use both — do not treat this guide as a second lore encyclopedia.
