the fallen

[daboarder]

hello!

some of you may know me from the blood angel board so im letting you guys know that this angel has recently fallen...because its so much more fun to be the bad guy.

 

so basically ive decided that i would like to do a night lords force as a good counter balance to my blood's. so i have a few questions i would like to ask.

 

firstly does anyone know where i can find a good tutorial for painting the lightning effects on the armour as this is very important.

 

secondly i was planning on going for a heavy infantry type force with termies, raiders, and perhaps even a squd of oblits. i know that night lords specialize in terror tactics and this most readly translates to the use of guerilla warfare however as a student of military history i would like to point out that terror tactics also include the use of shock assualts, the best examples of this throughtout history is the use of heavy cavalry where the thunder of hooves and a wall of fast moving armour could rout a force before even reaching their lines and the modern use of tanks where they produce a similar effect. basically i wanted your thoughts on this matter as well.

Welcome to chaos :tu:

 

Here is the painting lighting tutorial- http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...showarticle=138

 

IMO NL are about the perfect first strike to break the back of the enemy. If that doesn`t work then it a hit and run campain until another strike can disable or destory the enemy. So they would use any means to obtain and complete there mission. So use want ever you want, it`s your army. Remember if the enemy run in terror, then your doing your job well.

termies and oblits scare the hell outta me... so i think you should be right in that department xD

 

as long as its nice and fluffy and you like it, anything is possible really

1 Box terminators

3 Oblits (I suggest 2 or 4) for a good starter on them, if you plan on a small army then 1 or 2 is best.

Ravenwing box set and trade the attack bike/land speeder or use them in your blood angels, if you want bikes.

Boxes of marines to whatever you want to run with.

The land raider (or two if you run 2500+ otherwise it isnt wise to start with 2 raiders at 2k and less).

The HQ, most will say a prince with wings is your best bet or a sorcerer with flight/bike.

 

If you convert things you can get what you want with spending a little less cash then usual with trade models.

 

Basic tactics can be linked everywhere all over this section. Try making up a mock list for us to critique. Basicly though we'll mostly say a rhino, 2 meltas and a powerfist champ with a combi-flamer is best for a basic troop unit. Termicide or twin-claw termies with icon of khorne out of a land raider.
