Brother Giba Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So I have been wondering how would a traditional Night Lords company be organized. I know they come with traditional units of tactical marines and then specialist ones like the Night Raptor squads, Terror squads and Terminator squads but does anyone have an idea or speculation of the actual composition of a regular Night Lords company? Would they forgo the heavy support for Destroyers? Is there Mechanized Armor involved? Stuff like that. Also, how would their combat tactics in the fluff translate to the table top? Are there any expert Night Lords players out there that know how to not only use the Night Lords army layout and tactica but can also play like a Night Lords unit would out there?

Fire Golem Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 They were still a Legiones Astartes, so they had access to everything the other legions did, and they would have used them; Massacre mentions a specific 'Armour Claw'; so they definitely have Mechanized Armour. They'd use it less than like... Iron Hands or someone but they would've used everything available in some capacity I imagine :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297313-night-lords-company-organization-and-tactics/#findComment-3819762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 They are very Assault Focused, that much is certain. But, as you've probably seen in some posts here, this is a Legion Force we're talking about. So realistically speaking (...within the imaginary confines of 30k that is) they would have access to any and all wargear -- barring the ultra specialized and legion specific. Tabletop wise, someone else would have to answer. While I have a rough grasp of how they should play / be played, I don't truly know.

Kol Saresk Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Think of the concept "shock and awe". Hit fast, hit hard. Could be Breachers in Land Raider transports followed by Phalanx Jetbikes and Predator Squadrons. Or Destroyers, Assault Squads and Night Raptors.
