Brother Kirus Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Greetings! I was painting a chaos terminator in Night Lords colors yesterday and it made me think about an army that would fill two full units of terminators. Obviously, it is not the most competitive choice, but would this walk in friendly games and would it be interesting to play this army. Thank you.

jmlee Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Depends on who you normally fight. Against marines, field all power weapons, combi meltas, and turn them loose in cc. Horde armies, not so good. All depends on the point size as well. The more points you have, the better it will be at other armies. But at low points, and 2 termie squads, only effective vs marines I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 If you use either C:DA or C:SW then the answer is, yes, sometimes it will work. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 something like this ? 2xdP 3x6 terminators 3 combi plas 3 combi melta . 2 fists in each 2x5 pms with 2xplasma no rhino no asp champion 2x2 oblits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Fluff-wise... Termies don't seem very apt for the Night Lords, in my opinion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will think about this list. Fluff-wise... Termies don't seem very apt for the Night Lords, in my opinion, though. I have to politely disagree with you. Terminator armor is very fluffy for NL. This legion is all about terror (not sneakiness) and personal gain. Chaos SM in terminator armor is way more terrifying than the same marine but in power armor. Terminator armor is also considered to be a sign of wealth/status among chaos legions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 You're going to have a tough time against horde armies with a foot slogging force. Check the the new Nid codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politely disagree...? Surely you are meant to flame me savagely sir! :lol: I always thought of the Night Lords as terrifying, but with mobility. Hence my anti-terminator stance, but then my Loyalist knowledge of the ways of Chaos is sadly lacking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeruel Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I always thought of Terminators as perfectly in line with the Night Lords style. If you're a Guardsmen what could be more terrifying than giant terminator armoured Chaos Marines materializing right behind you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, i can lern! <_< ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seregon Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Fear is in the eye of the beholder, so I'd say anything goes. Just as it's terrifying to have armoured marines swooping upon your lines, having 20 or so terminators relentlessly advancing towards you would probably cause more than one enemy to reschedule their plans for the day.

Dark Mechanicum Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I would say that Terminators do work in a Night Lords army as they Deep Strike in and you have the other speedy elements in the army come up. So it could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unguis Raptus Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm a Night Lords player and had this idea too... 1 DP 10 termis 4 fists 2 plas 2 melta heavy flamer and reaper autocannon 3 x 10 vanilla marines champ fist plas/melta rhino 2 oblits ...roughly 1500 I think Also Night Lords = nothing short of overwhelming force always excessive.

Dark Mechanicum Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 That list would be scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroplane Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I like the idea, especially because i like the models! Make the army, paint it up well, enjoy it! Have fun, that's the point, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A D-B Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 That list would be scary. Totally. But admit it; you'd play against it because it would look killer on the table. You'd die happy. ...or maybe I'm just a sucker. That seems possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mechanicum Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think it would be fun to fight against. Most definetly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
