Magnus Thane Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Would it work? Given their habit of plundering and looting ,how likely is it that they'd wear such armor? I presume some of the iconography would have to go? But which ones and which not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 A lot of Armor used by Traitor Marines is cannibalized. Even more so for Trophies or because of the lack of manufacturing in some cases. I recall in one of the codexes that Chaos Marines covet newer armor, but its not something to go into the fray with. I will say, go for it. Night Lords have been known throughout the editions to have one of the few stable Geneseeds and most of the mutations are kept low or off the grid.

Panda_ Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Repaint GK/SW in blue. Oh wait :D I've been waiting for years to write such a horrid comment. Your chapter name and Avatar is going to raise eyebrows, and frown ppl away. I guess the solution is the Night Lords figurine, and chaos marines. After all those talkings, I fear that most new CSM players will play NL as lot's of ppl loved ADB NL's novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which symbols should be removed? The eagle on the chest and the markings on the boots with the skull-sword? Or can they keep those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlunu Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If your fluff gives them a way to get their hands on it, I would imagine that they would use it. Everybody bar smurfs realises that the armour is made for a reason. They can keep the symbols if they want. They're Chaos and do as they choose, they were completely untouched by the Great Nerfing and will wear whatever (practical) they think is pretty/terrifying. You could say that they keep the Imperial bits to confuse, as a trophy, or simply because *ooh, shiny!*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Didn't the Night Lords disfigure the eagle on their chest in the novel? Making rips and cuts in it but not removing it? In any case i'm planning to mix CSM and SM bits. ;) Should give them a unique look. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Good mkorning brothers, I too am starting to creat a night lords army and was stuck on armour ideas. I drew inspiration from the four night lord books BL have produced but settled in the end for a more "clean" look with my army so choose MK V heresey armour from FW. i recieved (and continue to) a lot of help from members on here in regards to a topic i set up and did get alot of ideas. With the new HH books from FW coming out im rather hopeful we will recieve unique models for each legion. There was mention of conversion packs but id rather have a full set of armour. I await and see. Im also a hugh dark angles fan so hoping to get armour for both legions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be sneaky, you can even use certain models for Infiltration and say they mimicked a loyalist chapter like the Alpha Legion did on Vraks. One aspect of terror to use is to instill the fear into an enemy that you can strike when they feel secure. It is also demoralizing to see friendly symbols defaced before the enemy. For my custom Warband, I'm intending to make the Lord with most of the model from a Mk. 8 piece whenever I get around to securing some models.

Magnus Thane Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 How would you advise 'defacing' the symbols? A cutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 /shrug Cut, scrape, chip, paint little Chaos markings over them like in the 3.5 codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
