On a point of fluff do we know when Konrad was actually assassinated???

We all know that the Primarch of the Night lords willingly let himself be assassinated in order to prove a point to his father who sent the assassin but was the emperor the actual culprit who organised the assassination. I don't know the exact date in the timeline it happened but didn't the assassination happen after a the siege of terra so wouldn't that mean the Emperor, at that time would currently be the vegetable that he is stuck on his throne unable to do anything. So in that case would it of been entirely possible for someone else to organise the hit especially one of the Night Haunter's surviving brothers like Roboute Guilliman who seemed to be running the show with organising the Imperium the way it is now.

I always kind of assumed it was a general consensus from the high lords of Terra sometime after the battle and the emperors internment to the throne but afaik theres really not much information on the topic.

 

Is it around the time Tsagualsa was attacked?

It was right before the attack by the Eldar in which Zso Sahaal got trapped, but I don't think it has a definitive place in the timeline other than "after Terra" and "before the Primogenitors came after the Night Lords".

 

But yeah, basically "who" sent the assassins doesn't matter because the Night Lords hold to it being on the Emperor's command from some time before even the Heresy and that Curze finally allowed himself to be killed just to get it over with and to somehow prove his self-righteous philosophy as being correct.

 

So it ties back into that element that the background is always told from a biased point of view. In this case, it's the Night Lords' bias.

Hold on. Kurze's belief system wasn't self-righteous in the true sense of the word. He saw himself as being the flawed executive of a flawed political philosphy - that of the Emperor vision of a unified Imperium under the Imperial Truth, and being killed was for him a way of being vindicated in his belief: that that vision was unattainable. He thought that true autocracy could only be attained through fear and oppression. But he never aspired to be of saw himself as being that autocrat - not of Nostramo, nor of the Imperium as a whole. In other words, he didn't think that he was right; he thought that the other guy was wrong. That belief was vindicated though his assassination. At least, that´s always how I interpreted it. :)

[Kol Saresk]

Self-roghteous in that he thought his point of view was being proven right lol.

 

But suffice to say, you say pohtaytoe, and I say puhtahtoe.

And the Emprah said: die. But seriously: I live for those philosophical nuances. So much so that I wasted 8 years of y life on it! :D #FML

[Augustus b'Raass]

I'm guessing many primarch owners have died to make that thing possible?

[Kol Saresk]

I think they only had to kill an Angron base. Maybe a Khârn one too.

[Plaguecaster]

Damn :D pretty sweet just sucks FW didn't sell the dead marines or special bases seperatly

[Aeternus]

Sacrifices had to be made. In this case only three primarchs and owners who refused to see the more important goal. Though I could add Kharns casualty too...

So today is pay day and I am going to build a raptor Talon for my 40k army that I can also use in 30k. I will avoid chaos Iconography and will put a few terror squad helms into the mix. Night raptors are too expensive and the helms equally so on ebay. 

 

So does anyone have any other advice on this? I've seem Augustus's amazing flayed skin tutorial so will be using that but what's really getting me is body part accessories. 

 

Aside from spending 31 euro on a box of zombies (and the inability to find any decent bits bundles on ebay for them) Where else can I get some grim and terrifying accessories for my night lords?

 

Any help and advice is appreciated! Thanks! 

I decided in the end to get some mantic zombies, They have some cool torso and heads, I even saw some spleens i think!

 

 

Now I have to figure out how to make my raptors integrate with 30k. They don't look like your typical marine so maybe they are fine as is

[Kaptain Von]

Hey all, im having a Name the Sorcerer competition over in my Blog thread (click the signature link) and thought id also share pictures as it was Kaptain Von's (Thanks for that idea!)

 

You're welcome. I'll scratch my head and see if I can't come up with a suitably awful pun name.

 

By the way: here's month two of my Tale of Gamers challenge. Szandor Asczended.

I had an idea I wanted to run by you guys. If a claw entirely fell to chaos and failed in some task and were say turned into chaos spawn,  would it be a nightlordish thing (for a not fallen to chaos warband) to use the spawn as terror troops. I was thinking of modeling them with chains around them that they could unleash on civilians etc. Also it would form a warning to others in the warband to avoid worshiping the chaos gods! 

[Panzer]

Depends on how desperate they are I guess. You don't have to worship Chaos to use what you have at hand.....but then again Spawns are like the most Chaos-y thing you can find right after Daemons and that kind of thinking slowly corrupted a lot of warbands before already. :D

[Brother Aiwass]

Well, that's the only non-chaosy way to use spawns to me. I've thinking the same more or less (one spawn, not a whole squad), other would be feral beasts collected among the Halo Stars by the warband (why yes, the warlord may or may not have a small pet zoo in his ship).

[Brother Aiwass]

This feral beasts I was referring to

 

[Dardl]

The feral beasts is a great idea, But think about how terrifying a spawn would be not only to a populace they are unleashed on but to the subordinates of the lord ruling the warband. 

[Kol Saresk]

Yeah, I'd think be a legitimate use because the lord could use the spawn as a "See, this is why you don't screw with Chaos" example to the other members in a fashion similar to how the Death Company is used in some of the Blood Angels successors.

[ThatOneMarshal]

Anyone seen any night lords themed mechanicum models around? Thinking about getting some for 30k allies. Edited March 5, 2017 by ThatOneMarshal

Hey Fellows. Working on a version of Talos (Heresy/Scouring era) since the bits are around, before I do a 40k version later. Does anyone know when he picked up Aurum? Was it during the heresy, or after? 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Way, way after. He got it from what he calls a 'thin-blood', meaning a descendant of the Astartes of the Great crusade, i.e. one of the Blood Angels Chapter, not the Legion.

 He's a stylish mofo. Is that a Forge World helmet on him? I've been interested in picking up some of those.
