Nighthaunt
Even the boldest warrior might lose his nerve when confronted by the Nighthaunt, for these ethereal horrors are every dark folk tale and lingering nightmare made manifest. With phantom blades and icy, spectral claws, they tear the living asunder, sending their souls screaming to Shyish to face Nagash's judgement.

The Headsmen's Curse
The Headsmen's Curse has come. Nothing shall stay the bite of the dread blade Terminus, for it was fashioned long ago by Nagash himself, and has a vile sentience of its own. Damned souls surround it, bound to serve as judge, jury and executioner. Their former identities are subsumed into the greatsword's necromantic magic; always there is one to wield the blade, one to sharpen its edge, one to bear the headsman's block, and a scriptor to sentence the condemned. No matter the crime against the Supreme Necromancer, the sentence is always the same – Death!
