Night Lord Dred Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Night_Lords A little bit of info. To summarize: -They are one of the original traitor legions -They rely on stealth and terror tactics, which in turn minimizes casualties and breaks enemy morale. -They do not use Daemons -They do not have any marks (ie. Icon of Chaos glory only, no cult troops) -They have lightning bolts painted on their armour -They are badass, and by far the coolest legion :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184122-nightlords-inspiration/#findComment-2176624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerook Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Evil Batman...... There I said it. (And yes, I am a Night Lords fan) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184122-nightlords-inspiration/#findComment-2176634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan The Deamon Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Evil, angry, bitter, Batman. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184122-nightlords-inspiration/#findComment-2176762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerook Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Evil, angry, bitter Batman in Power Armour and capable of ripping the enemy apart with his bare hands.....literally. Also, theres a lot of the novel Heart of Darkness in the backstory of the Night Lords, the duality of human nature, naivity about the darkness in men, etc. Its been years since I read it so I can't quite remember.

Brother Nihm Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 For inspiration I suggest that you run a search in the PC&A and on coolminiornot.com for Night Lords. If you want to know more about the Legion's background, see if you can get your hands on one of the following items: Night Lords Novel: Lord of the Night, by Simon Spurrier. Night Lords Commander Sahaal has been in exile for ten thousand years, plotting to defeat his treacherous rival Acerbus and once again rule over his dark army. To do this he must find an ancient artefact that was stolen from him. Novel: Heroes of the Space Marines, Short-story: Nightfall, by Peter Fehervari. A group of Night Lord Raptors makes a foray to a forgotten imperial world, the objective: to gather new recruits. Short-story: Shadow Knight, by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. This story tells of the journey of a normal child to become a deadly Chaos Space Marine. Short-story: The Dark King, by Graham McNeill. Index Astartes II, The Night Lords Space Marine Chapter: A detailed background of the primarch Night Haunter and the terrifying Night Lords. UK White Dwarf: #231, Harbingers of Doom - Chaos Space Marine Raptors. UK White Dwarf: #260, Index Astartes First Founding - Bringers of Darkness, The Night Lords Space Marine Chapter. UK White Dwarf: #261, Lords of the Night: A cityfight battle between the Night Lords and Imperial Guard. There's some good stuff in there that characterise the Legion well.
