Decepticon Soundwave Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 So I started working on a preheresy Night Lords army. Forge world Mk III, IV and V armours, wing-a-ling heads on all sarges, non terminator vets and characters. I am building the army to be modular meaning I can run it as SM, CSM, BA, DA, BT and SW. Just to play in official games been modeling my own characters I already have a Sicarius, Shrike, Mordekai Blaylock, Mephiston, and I can probly make one of my jump pack vets into Elim Courbray. Planned characters include Darnath Lysander, Luft Huron, Armenius Valthrex, Lias Essodon, Thulsa Kane, Pellas Mi'ran, Tyberos, Zhrukhal Androcles, Ahazra Redth, Vaylund Cal, Anton Narvaez, Carab Culln, Samiel, Beliel. The idea is hopefully with more books these guys will have different names. my logic is a Marine with a bolter is a tac marine, a chaos marine, a grey hunter or even a sternguard. A marine with a sword and pistol can be a blood claw, an assault marine, a chaos marine, a Vanguard vet, or Honor guard I have enough scouts to be space wolf scouts or marine scouts of all types. The only non modular marine are my Terminator Sanguinity Priests. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246694-my-modular-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 13th Goat Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lysander is already the name of an Imperial Fists special character. And not very Nostroyian...

Decepticon Soundwave Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yeah Lysander is my Captain Halasker who in the ADB books is armed with thunder hammer storm shield.

Hyaenidae Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lysander is already the name of an Imperial Fists special character. And not very Nostroyian... To be fair though, there is a sizable minority of Terrans in the Night Lords Legion. A Terran sounding name isn't really that unusual within the Legion.

Decepticon Soundwave Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 my real goal is to make an army that can do anything I want it to do and only ever have to buy rulebooks, because I see how untenable this hobby is getting but I enjoy it so much that I really want to stay in but terminators alone are already 50.00 for 5 I remember when they were 35.00 for 5 and land raiders after tax are 70 the number of places doing discounted price are decreasing. I do not want to make this a post complaining about price. But this is where I am, I want to continue playing my favorite legion.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lysander is already the name of an Imperial Fists special character. And not very Nostroyian... To be fair though, there is a sizable minority of Terrans in the Night Lords Legion. A Terran sounding name isn't really that unusual within the Legion. To be honest, I think the point was that he plans to use those actual characters but is awaiting more names from the Night Lords books to name them properly. Apologies if I appear patronising, but it looks like that point was missed.

Hyaenidae Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Not patronizing, just picky... :) Probably should have shortened the quoted section I was responding to; I was specifically pointing out that non-Nostromoian names are not unusual in the Legion, that's all. I get what the OP is saying. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246694-my-modular-legion/#findComment-2986229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decepticon Soundwave Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lysander- Halasker Shrike- Tso Sahaal Sicarius- Sheng those are the named characters I have set right now. I have generic captains and such which I can use for other named characters in the books like sevatar, talos, malcharion, and Krieg Acerbus. My main plan is if I play non astartes army lists I am bringing a world into compliance, If I am playing against marines, death to the false emperor....hey waitaNight Lord said it first how fitting.

Hyaenidae Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If you do use the Wolves codex, Bjorn the Fell-Handed would make a fitting 'counts-as' Malcharion...just a thought.

Malcharion wasn't inturned until the after (or during) the seige on Terra, though.

Sons of Horus Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Talos was an apothecary not a captain or sergeant. I actually like your idea though. Maybe I should start a similar project :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246694-my-modular-legion/#findComment-2986574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decepticon Soundwave Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 The basic Idea Standard Marines general tactical/devastator possibly veteran company depending on build Blood Angels assault company Dark Angels atramentar/bike company Black Templars a crusade assault company Wolves Veteran company Talos can easily be a sanguinity priest Son of Horus I am glad if my idea of a modular army that can use multiple books inspires others since in many ways internet forums have inspired me with painting/conversion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246694-my-modular-legion/#findComment-2986655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
