Help needed to start HH Night lords army

[Lord Curze]

Greetings Battle Brothers!

I dont have the HH books (Yet!) and im too eager to see what i need to start this glorious army.

I want to do a night lords army and whenever i see army blogs i see squads that have like 10 marines and  all have special weapons. same thing with Devastator squads. i have a few questions

- Do armor marks actually have rules

- when it says a tactical squad can only have Bolter/BP/and chainsword. can i model them with chainaxes or do those actually have rules?

- Are terror squads able to take alot of special weps?

- What are some good ideas for 2k lists. i would like to make an infantry heavy list also i hear Night raptors with Nostraman chainglaves are the :cuss!

Also a contemptor is number 1 on my list of must haves.

 

 If you guys could give me any tips that would be appreciated

Chainaxes are their own unique weapon, so while it can be any type of chain weapon, it can't necessarily be a chainaxe.

 

Unless your opponent(s) do(es)n't mind it if you model them as such.

 

Terror Squads can and can't take lots of special weapons. Any model can be given volkite chargers(or bolters), but they can only take one rotary cannon or one flamer.

 

The Night Lords Tactic thread has some ideas about the subject in general and some idea lists.

With the Chain Axes, it only really makes a difference if you wish to have Chain Axes counts-as regular ccw and actual Chain axes (rules wise) in the same army list. If your list only has one type (rules wise) just be sure to tell your opponent what they are. Eg. All chain axes are just ccw in this list.

 

Cheers,
