heretic??ME?? Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Also from the info I've found these guys are renegade and gone over to chaos acting as mercenaries. Now does this mean that they actually are CHAOS i.e. using daemons and cult marines etc. Or are they just more of an A-TEAM force: good but chased by the -][- for crimes that they did not commit??

chillin Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Have no idea who these guys are, they are not one of the renegades pictured in the dex. Who are they ? Where is the "info" ? Just judging by the name damned Co. I would say they are full chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic??ME?? Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Damned Company They might have another name: Night Stalkers Just looking for info on them. They were in the old codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yeah, found them in 3.5 dex and again in 4.0 dex, with 2 different names. In the last two dex's they have just stuck csm's with different paint schemes in there and just made up names for them at random. Obviously, random b/c the didn't even give the exact same model the same army name in the 2 dex's ;) They did the same thing to the Warp Ghosts from 3.5, picture of exact same fig in 4.0 but they said it was Deathmongers :D Just pic.'s of figs with random made up names, there is no info on them. other then the name of the daemon world they from and that they ambush. from there make up your own.

heretic??ME?? Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yeah this is the problem.. Fluff wise if they are from a daemon world they are gonna be a bit to CHAOS for me. GW being lazy again. Just gonna go on the former codex and hope that GW have not fully corrupted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Also don't forget that in practice it is perfectly normal for warbands to accidentally end up with the same colorscheme. It is not like someone is holding an exact tally of the nr of warbands and what their colors are. Heck a Chaos Warband could be running about with Ultramarine or Space Wolf colors and it would not be that weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic??ME?? Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thats the plan if anyone come running over and starts going on about night stalkers, just wish I could find a chapter/company badge for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thats the plan if anyone come running over and starts going on about night stalkers, just wish I could find a chapter/company badge for them. You can always paint/glue the symbol on later and just apply the norma colors and all for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satanaka Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 a Chaos Warband could be running about with Ultramarine or Space Wolf colors and it would not be that weird. Alpha Legion is notorious for doing exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Of Chaos Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 a Chaos Warband could be running about with Ultramarine or Space Wolf colors and it would not be that weird. Alpha Legion is notorious for doing exactly that. there is a 95% chance that the army your opponent is using is actually a secret alpha legion army (even if its necrons or nids etc), of course it also means that there is a 95% chance that your army is a secret alpha legion army as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like someone is holding an exact tally of the nr of warbands and what their colors are.Heck a Chaos Warband could be running about with Ultramarine or Space Wolf colors and it would not be that weird. Space Knights heradldry and colors are something not taken for granted, granted it's a traitor Faction but the underlying problem if they're using those colors, they're probably from that faction. Alpha Legion has a notorious record for infiltrating under Imperial Colors, but other Warbands are dedicating themselves to a god, defacing their chapter, or using their old color scheme because they see no point to change it. That being said, there are few chapters who have a near identical color pattern to the Space pups or the Space Smurfs, and you'd need a damn good explanation for using their colors. The error in these warbands is a screwup on GW's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkuu Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I toyed with the idea of "The Damned Company of Lord Caustos" / "Nightstalkers" mainly down to the fact that they are ambush / infiltration specialists. Also thought their colours weren't too bad. Since decided to create a full force Nurgle army and my gawjus Night Lords. I would guess that GW would "expand" on them whenever a revision next comes out but as it stands, all i find is Ambush/Infiltration. I would think it would be A-OK to field what the hell you want especially due to the lack of fluff. But IMO, if you have to create your own fluff, then i'd create my own whole new renegade army. But thats just me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah, if the Army in question has no questionable fluff, go head and run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkuu Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah, if the Army in question has no questionable fluff, go head and run it. Slight bit from the codex is ambush. I know you can't class that as any kind of fluff but surely must rule out the obvious non hide and seek units? (ie. Noise Marines, Berzerkers?) Thats just how i perceive the term ambush (regular Marines, heavy armour etc etc) but thats coming from a Night Lords player. Like i said, the limited information on them would make me just create my own army as GW have provided 1/4 of the job by providing the name and colour scheme.

heretic??ME?? Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Thanks guys!! Probably gonna have chosen squad on hand for infiltrating for fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
