Koriel Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I love how you show Barbastellan's thoughts and values, they really show that he's more then a simple warrior automaton. Characters such as yours, (and all the other great NL characters from different authors) add richness and depth to a legion many believe to only consist of sadists and murderers. Reading all the great fluff people are writing for their armies and characters, really give me motivation to finish my own fluff. Keep the good stuff comming, Balthamal.

Reading all the great fluff people are writing for their armies and characters, really give me motivation to finish my own fluff. Keep the good stuff comming, Balthamal. Cheers mate. The main thing I want to convey about him is that his perspective is different to many of the VIII Legion. It's not that he doesn't enjoy the pain and misery he brings to helpless mortals, he relishes it. He just needs a deeper meaning behind it. He wants to be standing in blood amidst a thousand skinning pits on Terra at the final Sun fall of the Long War. It's the same desire Talos had, just Barb has had it from night 1 whereas Talos only really came to that days before he died. Hopefully I'll manage to shed some more light on them and just why they seem to do pretty well And A DB's wife is a hot Irish chick, so that's definite bonus points. I'm a drunken half caste irish does that count for points? The slightest drop of Irish blood is enough. It's like I negative, goes with anything. I swear when I was in Australia last year they were more Irish than Australians Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285762-the-murderers-call-a-night-lords-community/page/27/#findComment-3764437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 We Irish folks are like the mutts of the human genome... there's a little bit of us everywhere. S'what makes it weird that I'm Irish on both sides of the family, I s'pose. I don't think the claim to being an Irish "purebred" holds much weight though :P @ Balth - I know what you mean. If I were surrounded by an entire continent of scorched ass tundra filled entirely with animals and plants that can actively kill me, I'd want good drinking buddies too.

Daemon2027 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I am considering turning to the VIII legion. I like the idea of combining the stealth of the Raven Guard, with the pyscho tactics of the World Eaters. Plus Chainglaves.

Flint13 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Always a good idea! The Night Lords have plenty of awesome themes to go with. Many like the idea of psychotic Ravenguard. I always have seen them a little more like evil White Scars. Rapid assaults calculated to strike hardest at an enemies' weakest points and using their own confusion against them.

I always have seen them a little more like evil White Scars. Rapid assaults calculated to strike hardest at an enemies' weakest points and using their own confusion against them. Still sounds like the Ravens to me. Thinking about it there is a trinity of Legions with over lapping styles that I love. Night Lords, Raven Guard, and the Alpha Legion. Now that would be a fearsome prospect to face.

Flint13 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ah, but I think there is a definite division in tactics between the three of them which make them all distinct and unique. Take a random theoretical mission; enter a city and destroy an specific target. The Ravenguard would slip unnoticed into the enemy held territory and eliminate the target with surgical precision before slipping back into the shadows. The Night Lords, on the other hand would be much more likely to deploy in a shock assault through either drop pod or gunship insertion, laying a path of waste to their target, heedless of collateral damage and casualties. If they could find an excuse to deploy hallucinogenic toxins like a grim-dark version of Batman's Scarecrow, all the better. The Alphas would probably go about it by infiltrating the working class citizens, gradually subverting their ideology until the very idea of *not* suicide bombing their target would be unthinkable. Either way of the three, problem solved. But *definitely* a difference ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285762-the-murderers-call-a-night-lords-community/page/27/#findComment-3764810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Me personally, I'd sneak in and destroy the target. And then rig it to blow. And then slaughter my way to the exfil. Detonate the bomb(s). And then nuke it from orbit while sipping a Dr. Pepper.

Anyway I am thinking Night Lords and Alpha Legion would be a good combo. In the words of the Joker 'Introduce a little Anarchy'.

Flint13 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 I've always thought the 8th and 20th would work well together, not just visually, but in actual fluff terms as well. I could totally see the Alpha legion insertion teams using the Night Lords' crazed terror making as the cover for all sorts of nefarious activities ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285762-the-murderers-call-a-night-lords-community/page/27/#findComment-3764913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
