2k Night Lords Terror Assault

[Ave_Dominus_Nox]

Another list I've been spitballing, using part of a B&C set and some extra gubbins. The vindicators split their fire utilizing PotMS, trying to utilize the most out of my 1 HS slot. The terror squads infiltrate forward towards objectives etc (no volkites here, while I like CHOOM as much as the next guy, I primarily play against 40k armies, and have concluded that it's just too fantastic mean against some foes.) Everything else either smashes some armour or supports the Terror Squads in holding midfield objectives. C&C welcome and appreciated.

My honest answer is you've seriously handicapped yourself by giving the Terror Squads bolters. Never mind the fact that Choom is king anyway, but you're stopping yourself assaulting with them. Terror squads are very very good in assault as well (because what's not to love about a Talent for Murder and preferred enemy?)

 

The rest of the list is sold although I'd potentially look at scrounging the points for an apothecary for the Raptors, just to give them some more survivability

Choom aside; If I drop the javelins I can bump the Raptors to 8 strong, grab a jump-pack primus medicae w/ chainglaive, and slap arty armor on the terror squad sgts to tank some wounds.
