Mike8404 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm a huge narrative player, but I do still want an army that synergizes. I'm building a Terror Assault army and have 2 10 man units of Terror Troops with Volkite, what other units should I add? I'm avoiding dreads right now, not because they're strong, but just to fill out infantry first Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375040-night-lords-terror-assault/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxjtmxxx Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Pinning sources are perfect to make best use out of nightfight and fear. than some melee units.

mooftak Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Some rotor cannons (tac support squad or one to 3 in a terror squad) would be good for pinning. I'm not a math head, so I can't tell you how many rotor cannons you want to feel secure in a unit's ability to pin another one. Some LINE troops would probably be valuable. Raptors are very Terror Assaulty. Jump pack librarian would give you very mobile pinning to go along with the raptors, or non-jump pack to go with a terror squad.

Beerhammer Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Raptor also fill the role for Troops. Might think about them. Mike8404 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375040-night-lords-terror-assault/#findComment-5847189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxjtmxxx Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 but not line. thats the problem in current lists Mike8404 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375040-night-lords-terror-assault/#findComment-5847224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhat Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Terror Squads with 3-5 Rotors is useful. Raptors are a hammer unit, so one of those with some twin LCs and an Apothecary seems to be a go-to unit. Vigilator seems potent for another HQ (and source for pinning). You could bring Curze who really amps up Terror lists.

SkimaskMohawk Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Consider adding 2, 5-man squads of recons. They have infiltrate and skirmishers like terrors, line, and are even harder to shoot during night fight than normal units. It's ~170 for the two, and well worth it imo. They're both thematic and heavily synergistic.

xxxjtmxxx Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 i would go further and take 3 of them. than 1 raptor and 2 terror squads. raptors go by jumppack or guided via deep strike. i would equip the terror squads with some ccw to do also damage in melee, so mixing Equipment. So you have alle troop choice filed with around 1300 points. what points do you like to run?

Mike8404 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the help everyone!

I've also heard Seekers are a good choice too Edited July 18, 2022 by Mike8404 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375040-night-lords-terror-assault/#findComment-5847308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxjtmxxx Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 chain weapons in generell, could be also normal Energie swords. the question is, what do you have against 2+. raptors with double claw? when u have something, go with normal Energie weapons which strike at ini.
