I played a game of warhammer using nighthaunt recently and got me teeth kicked in

Lady O got one tapped as did my grimghast, and i lost on vp and in killing as by the end of it i had killed 6 models and one of them was getting abraxia to kill one of her varamguard

So how balanced would it be to use index rules and points for nighthaunt. I have found the most recent points for them here

And the rules here

Or just search up january 2025 battle profiles and nighthaunt index if you are smart enough to not click random links you find on the internet

Edit: i dont care about the winning, i just want to enjoy nighthaunt loke how i enjoy my other factions

My friend has 3k+ points of nids and whenever i play against them i just get stomped. He is a better player than me at the game( ive played for 1.5 years and hes played for 6+ years) but it still feels like all of his profiles are perfectly crafted to kill custodes with the sheer amount of 3 damage he has. For instance often in games the exocirne will make back its value and then some in 1 shooting phase and dont even get me started on the screamer killer and the swarmlord.

There are 6 different god models but 12 diffrent variations of gods

Nagash, supreme lord of the undead, with 4 varients: nighthaunt(the only one with a unique datasheet) ossirach bonereapers, flesh eater courts, and soulblight gravelords

Kragnos, the end of empires, also has 4 varients:gloomspite gitz, sons of behamat, orruk warclans and ogur mawtribes

Archaon, the everchosen, in slaves to darkness

Morathi-khaine and the shadow queen, in daughters of khaine

Allariel the everqueen, in sylvaneth

Archmage teclis and celenar, spirit of hysh

Out of these gods and their variations, which ones provide the most benifits in a list for their points and why

Edit:i mean gods as in points and sheer power on the battlefield, i know some of these guys arent true gods

Gw said that most detatchments are going to be 2 dp which implies that some will be either 3 or 1 so which detatchments seem likely to fall into those catagories.

The ones ive seen are

Coc in emperors children and gladius in ultra marines( i dont understand why tho)
