Palak Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hey guys, I'm fully involved in the Horus Heresy, I just love Betrayal and can't wait to see the second book which will feature my new project : Night Lords Legion. I've been reading times and times again the book, trying to find what I like and what I don't (hardly found this one). But it's so hard so decide what to choose, there are so many cool stuff all around. I then started reading the Blacklibrary Horus Heresy novels to help me set up my choice. When I read Shadows of Treachery and the Prince of Crows novel I was conquered. What is also really important for me is the overall aesthetic of the army, and honestly I think the Night Lords are one of the most difficult Legion to make it looks right. I hope I will do justice to the model that will come all the way of my project. So after some time pondering what I wanted in my army I ended up with that concept in mind : I see the Night Lords hammering a city with heavy siege weapon and when the breach of the wall appear, the Night Lords just get it and wreck havoc. That's why my list will turn around that idea. But there is an other factor to take in account : too many cool stuff not enough point for standard games. So I told myself, Screw it, let's go big. So I split my list in two parts, the first will be the core of the army for 3000 points worth of minis (in black) and the rest will go up to 6000 pts where I add all the other cool stuff I want (in red). Army I like : 3000 pts 5995 pts HQ 710pts 840 pts - Legion Praetor (100), plasma pistol (15), paragon blade (25), iron halo (25), with Legion jetbike (45) = 210 pts - Command Squad : 4 guys (120), plasma pistol (60), with Legion jetbike (140) = 320 pts - Legion Centurion (50), Librarian (25), psychic master 3 (60), legion jetbike (45) = 180 pts - Legion Centurion (50), Primus Medicae (35), legion jetbike (45) = 130 pts ELITES : 205 pts 1400 pts - Terminator Squad : 5 Guys (175), 4 Fists (20), Sergeant with Grenade harness (10) = 205 pts - Terminator Squad : 5 Guys (175), 4Fists (20), Sergeant with Grenade harness (10) = 205 pts - Legion Rapier Weapons battery : 3 batteries (120), Quad Mortar (60) = 180 pts - Legion Rapier Weapons battery : 3 batteries (120), Quad Mortar (60) = 180 pts Legion Contemptor Dreadnought talon : 3 Dreadnought (525), 3*Heavy conversion beamer (105) = 630 TROOPS : 975 pts 1950pts - Assault Squad : 15 guys (325) - Assault Squad : 15 guys (325) - Assault Squad : 15 guys (325) - Assault Squad : 15 guys (325) - Assault Squad : 15 guys (325) - Assault Squad : 15 guys (325) Fast Attack : 500 pts - Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron : 6 guys (240), meltabombs (30) = 250 pts - Legion Jetbike Sky Hunter Squadron : 6 guys (240), meltabombs (30) = 250 pts LORDS OF WAR 370 pts - Legion Typhon Heavy Siege Tank : (350), Armoured Ceramite (20) = 370 pts HEAVY SUPPORT 610 pts 935 pts - Caestus Assault Ram = 305 - Caestus Assault Ram = 305 - Legion Predator Strike Armour Squadron : 3 Predator (225), Heavy bolter sponsons (75), Command Tank (25) = 325 pts So excited about it, that I ordered my first airbrush and a Caestus Assault Ram!!!!

Jim AMM realgenius Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The Terminators walk behind the Typhon? Those two seem a little out of place in another wise very mobile army. Also, I feel like for 6000 points there isn't a "big" element. Like a Primarch or Titan or big named special unit, although I guess that will have to wait until the Night Lords book comes out.

Didn't mention it but the Terminators are in the Caestus Assault Ram. And like you said Primarch and so will have to wait. Not a huge fan of Titan honestly.

Dono1979 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Worried about your anti armour capabilities at 6k level; 2 x Assault Ram (melta template) 2 x Skyhunter squads (melta bombs) 3 x Contermptors (Conversion beamers) I suppose that does give you 7 units.... it just looks very bare.
