1000 Night Lords

[Hammer of Olympia]

Heya fellas

So I've been brainstorming on some Night Lords list and I'm waiting for your input on this

 

•              
  •                HQ (130pts)
    • Legion Centurion (130pts)

      Artificer Armour (10pts), Jump Pack (20pts), Nostraman Chainglaive (15pts)

      Consul, Independent Character, Legiones Astartes

      • Consul (35pts)

        Chaplain (35pts)

        Zealot

  • Troops (300pts)
    • Legion Tactical Squad (150pts)

      Legion Tactical Sergeant, 9x Legion Tactical Space Marines (90pts)

      Fury of the Legion, Legiones Astartes

    • Legion Tactical Squad (150pts)

      Legion Tactical Sergeant, 9x Legion Tactical Space Marines (90pts)

      Fury of the Legion, Legiones Astartes

  • Elites (290pts)
    • Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought (180pts)

      Two Kheres Pattern Assault Cannons (25pts)

      Atomantic Shielding, Helical Targeting Array

    • Legion Rapier Weapons Battery (55pts)
      • Legion Rapier Weapons Battery (55pts)

        Laser Destroyer Array (15pts)

        Extremely Bulky, Legiones Astartes

    • Legion Rapier Weapons Battery (55pts)
      • Legion Rapier Weapons Battery (55pts)

        Laser Destroyer Array (15pts)

        Extremely Bulky, Legiones Astartes

  • Fast Attack (280pts)
    • Night Raptor Squad (280pts)

      9x Night Raptor (180pts)

      Legiones Astartes, Onslaught

      • Huntmaster (30pts)

        Artificer Armour (10pts), Pair of Lightning Claws (20pts)                     

The total goes straight to 1000,

So what I imagine is that,the Dread along with the tac squad will proceed together raining fire and bolter shot.While the Raptors and Chaplain will swoop along the back to do some damage,while the Rapiers give anti armor fire.

I worry that you are low on bodies in troops, but I think this is quite a nice list that covers most bases.

 

I think you NEED to get some melta bombs in that night raptor squad, just on the chaplain or huntsmaster to increase flexibility. I also think I'd drop the chain glaive from the chaplain, as he gets a free power weapon anyway. I think the chainglaive is better than claws, given your bonus attacks on the charge, so I'd swap the claws for 2 glaive's in the raptor unit. That would leave 10 points which I'd spend on either a vexilla, melta bombs on the tac sargs, or another chain glaive.

 

I have no idea how this would work, but the combination of the raptors and chaplain sounds fun, and you have some good flexible supporting fire. Would be interesting to hear how it goes!

I am actually also building a similar night lords list for the same points allowance. This is my list:

 

Chaplain consul, Nostraman Chainglaive, Artificer Armour, Refractor Field, melta bombs, Trophies of Judgement

Contemptor Dreadnought, 2x DCCW w/ 2x graviton gun

10 Legionaires, additional ccw, rhino, dozer blade

10 Legionaires, additional ccw

Whirlwind Scorpius, dozer blade

Predator w/ plasma destroyer, lascannon sponsons, machine spirit, dozer blade

 

So instead of raptors I have scorpius and plasma predator. I hope three AV13 vehicles and rhino give much needed resilence to the list. Also, I think raptors are good but too expensive for 1000 points list though I would like to use them too.. Have you yet played with this list?

Actually

I'm still assembling the model and I havent played the list

After you've played a few games with it tell us how it went. :)

 

Also, I think that you can swap the crozius arcanum, i.e. power weapon free for Nostraman chainglaive. It reads in the rules that you can take it instead of power weapon at the indicated points cost, and as he comes with free pw, it's a free change.

 

You could then add melta bombs and trophies of judgement for the chaplain as fear in 30k is nothing to sniff about.
