foto69man Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Just re-read all the ADB Night Lords novel(LOVE THEM). Saw Sevatar and was sold. I wanted to come up with a fluffy-ish list that while it may be harder to win at 1850, still has a shot but is very Night Lords in flavor. Hopefully I didn't screw the pooch too bad on this one. Let me know what you gentleman think! Any and all suggestions are appreciated. HQ (350pts)Legion CenturionArtificer Armour, Jump Pack, Nanyte Blaster, Plasma Pistol, Consul, Moritat Legion PraetorArchaeotech Pistol, Artificer Armour, Iron Halo, Paragon Blade, Terror Assault Troops (825pts)Legion Tactical SquadExchange their Bolters for a Chainsword or Combat Blade, 18x Legion Tactical Space Marines, Legion Tactical Sergeant, Melta Bombs (5pts), Nostraman Chainglaive Terror Squad9x Executioner, Legion Drop Pod, 9x Volkite Charger, Headsman, Melta Bombs Terror Squad9x Executioner, Legion Drop Pod, 9x Volkite Charger, Headsman, Melta Bombs Fast Attack (670pts)Legion Land Speeder, Graviton Gun Legion Storm Eagle Assault Gunship, Two Twin-linked Lascannons Night Raptor Squad9x Night Raptor,9x Nostraman Chainglaive, Huntmaster, Melta Bombs, Nostraman Chainglaive I know right away armour can hurt me. I'll be playing 30k and 40k armies. So 4 melta bombs, 1 Graviton, and 2 Twin linked lascannons is tight. Is the storm Eagle blah? It's for delivering the Preator and 19 marines right where they are needed. And Skyfire is lacking in my meta.

Balthamal Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Quick heads up but you MUST take 3 Terror Squads as compulsory troop choices with Terror Assault. So scratch the Legion Tactical Squad straight away and get another Terror Squad in, preferably with Volkites. Give the Praetor a Jump Pack and run him with the Raptors. I'd drop the moritat for a Primus Medicae, FNP for the Night Raptors will be invaluable or if you don't want to beef up the death squad anymore take a Master of Signal because he'll help immensely with..... Not sure on the points of the Land Speeder off the top of my head but I'd do my best to make some points back to take a Whirlwind Scorpius. Relatively cheap and dropping S8 AP3 D3+1 barrage shots down is pretty good. Best use I can see to make use of the single heavy support slot at this point level Storm Eagle is a decent choice given it's FA. Use it to hunt down as much armour as you can. If you're playing against regular 40k armies, take the multimelta option but against HH lists don't bother, you'll rarely if ever see a vehicle without armoured ceramite to negate the melta Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302888-begineers-night-lords-1850/#findComment-3937945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
foto69man Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 1770pts so far then. Are tanks too unfluffy though? It's why I was leaning towards speeders for anti-tank duties. If I don't have the big marine blob, would taking a fire raptor be a better choice?

Slips Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If you go for speeders, prepare to cry when they get annihilated by a Sicarian ignoring their Jink Saves and eating S7 Ap 3(or is it 4?) on Av 11.

foto69man Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Any suggestions then? I don't really want to go the heavy tank route. I'm ok with losing units... And right now it'd be 90% 40k opponents. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302888-begineers-night-lords-1850/#findComment-3938003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The RoW Limits it to a single Heavy Support slot. The best addition to that one for the NL would be the Fire Raptor. Outside that, Jetbikes make for decent tank hunters with squad wide melta bombs. And you can still take 1-3 Contemptor Dreadnoughts per elites slot if you needed to. Theres also the Deredeo Dreadnought. None of which, mind you, cost under 180 points.

foto69man Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Drop the Eagle. Take two speeder sqds. Sqd 1 has grav and 1 hk missile. (2 speeders) Sqd 2 has grav, melta, and 1 hk missile (2 speeders) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302888-begineers-night-lords-1850/#findComment-3938038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Personally I'd run with the Fire Raptor given it's versatility but that's my preference. Best advice I can give is don't take the speeders, they'll die far too easily Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302888-begineers-night-lords-1850/#findComment-3938078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthamal Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks fairly solid. Against any heavy armour you'll struggle but that's a given with Terror Assault. On the other hand you won't see too much AV 14 at 1750 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302888-begineers-night-lords-1850/#findComment-3938316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
foto69man Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Any thoughts on the last 120 points? 2 laser raipers would fit, but feels too unfluffy to me.

Balthamal Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Take more Raptors? Not much you can squeeze in with that amount of points, maybe take a drop pod or 2 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302888-begineers-night-lords-1850/#findComment-3938630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Give your headsmen a volkite charger each, may aswell give each squad an extra 2 shots. You could probably squeeze another squad in if you exchanged your moritat plus the spare points.

Hesh Kadesh Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Book IV; Conquest generic relic option. Essentially, it fires a short ranged shot, which if it kills the target, causes it to explode, which affects those caught within the blast, and provided it keeps killing people, keeps causing explosions.
