Kol Saresk Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 This is more for curiosity's sake than anything else, but how do you, the members of BnC, see a Night Lords army?

sonofpollux Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Lightning Claws. Terminators with lighting claws, Assault marines with lightning claws, support units with volkite weaponry and lots of Destroyers. Rhinos, Jetbikes, and anything fast. Nothing really slow or ponderous Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271363-night-lords-heresy-army/#findComment-3306127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.J. Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I see them with a variety of armaments. But I've never been able to warm up to the bat-winged helmets.

Grotsmasha Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Mk IV armour, then basically un-chaosified 40k Night Lords, I don't see much of a change 30k - 40k.

Grimdarkness Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Is this the legion near the start of the crusade or the end? If near the end. Jet bikes and jump packs drop pods. Limited heavy support. Lots of bladed weapons. Limited to no iconography or squad numbers why would they care. Dark Hunters who enjoy the fear they cause.

Kol Saresk Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 During the Heresy. Which I guess could include the end of the Crusade. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271363-night-lords-heresy-army/#findComment-3306655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AekoldHelbrass Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Index Astartes said that Night Lords had always belonged to darkness. From all the Legions they changed the least with switching from Emperor to Horus. The only thing really changed for them - they replaced some of death imagery with chaos symbols. That's how I see them. Other than that - they are normal Legion, who is not limited by "honour" and other useless stuff, and of course I hope they will get some kind of HH-style Warp Talons unit, maybe some kind of Warlord trait, or special rules that they are unaffected by loses from shooting because they do not care about their brothers. As for their tactics (to build HH list), I'd go with rush of some kind, they have to use overwhelming force and the only way to represent it - to drop everything you have at the same time in the same place. So basically my tactics will not change much from what I have in 40k, maybe instead of 4 despoiler squads I'll have 3 + 1 support, or something like that. I don't feel the need to make them evil White Scars with bikers and "fast stuff only" principle. PS: please someone ask Alan Bligh to SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! I want Massacre YESTERDAY!

Vesper Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Alan Bligh and the FW crew are awesome, can't wait to see more HH stuff from them. For the Heresy era Night Lords, I'd say nasty destroyer squads (it shows they don't care about honour and that they are ready to use "overwhelming force"), Assault squads, Cataphractii terminators, maybe the new vehicules from FW...

Balthamal Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I agree with Grotsmasha. Also, from the bits and pieces we've picked up from the novels with them it appears infiltrators and drop pods are the way forward. Of course if you can summon the patience, they're slated to be in Volume II of the Horus Heresy Massacre from FW Oh and terminators are a must. A lot is made of the Atramentar in the novels, so it would be very flavourful if you included them.
