Aspiringchaoschampion Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hey guys I have a question regarding the Night Lords. Do they all have the Lightening on their armour Also am I correct that Night Lords pretty much looked close to modern day csm before the heresy?

Fire Golem Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 They didn't all have it, from what I can see in Massacre. Most did, but then most only did on certain armour plates. According to Massacre they weren't painted on, they actually had lighting generators under the armour. So if the armour was damaged, the lighting might go. As to the second point, I'm not sure what you mean. They basically looked identical to modern day Night Lords, but as to other CSM, they looked pretty brutal I guess?

Aspiringchaoschampion Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 What I mean is a lot of csm models have spikes/horns on I'm guessing night Lords would use something similar 30k era to cause terror Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309718-night-lords-question/#findComment-4095298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What I mean is a lot of csm models have spikes/horns on I'm guessing night Lords would use something similar 30k era to cause terror Nah they seem a bit more... Not subtle, but there's no horned helmets or anything. A lot of them have skulls painted on, some have actual skulls on their helmets, and the Night Raptors and Sevatar have the bat wings. I mean you'd get away with using them probably, as terror markings and such, but there's not really examples of it. They have things like bundles of bones, bits of skin and flesh, flayed bodies and heads on their tanks/dreads etc as opposed to the spikes and horns.

Ah ok could always fluff it as it's specific to my company who like to scare the hell out of the enemy by making them think they are pure evil incarnate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309718-night-lords-question/#findComment-4095307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 The art direction FW has gone with doesn't have them with spikes or horns so much. That seems to be something that came from residing in the Eye of Terror/Maelstrom for many of the Legions, although the Word Bearers are already starting to trend that way as of Calth which is pretty early. That being said, I don't see anything wrong with using those parts if it helps you put together a 30k army and start gaming. If it's breaking your immersion a bit and you still want to stick to a budget, consider just picking up 2-3 packs of the Night Lords helmet set that FW offers and sprinkle them around your force instead of the horned helmets?

I was only going to use horned helms for characters anyway or special units ie terminators and night raptors. I have quite a few marines with either top knots or just regular marine helmets Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309718-night-lords-question/#findComment-4095320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But legions are big, you can justify it easy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309718-night-lords-question/#findComment-4095321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Equerry Sheng of the Night Lords Legion was known to bear tusks upon his helm, so there is a precedent.

Fire Golem Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What is that the cover of? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309718-night-lords-question/#findComment-4095475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What is that the cover of? It's from The Long Night, the audio where Sevatar is trapped in a Dark Angels cell and is going a bit loony. I don't remember if Sheng himself is in that one. Pretty sure he's featured in Savage Weapons, but the cover of TLN matches his description. I was only going to use horned helms for characters anyway or special units ie terminators and night raptors. I have quite a few marines with either top knots or just regular marine helmets Sounds like you've got a good idea for where you're going, and as long as you're fine with it that's all that matters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309718-night-lords-question/#findComment-4095489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 For Night Lords, anything is justified if it means scaring the ever loving :cuss out of your victims.
