the_unforgiven Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Okay guys heres my two ideas for my night lords army. Idea A) Night lords with marks: Counts as a nightlord squad enslaving a lesser daeon enity or forging a pact for self gain only or counting marks as veteran squads. Idea :tu: Beserkers in a night lords army Counts as Highly trained killing machines/ veteran troops/ special cc squad with the most psychotic troops/ I was wondering if you accept this in a slightly competetive tournament setting.

chillin Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I would go with the "counts as" veteran skills/special forces CC squad. Doesn't deviate as far from NL's fluff. Just a sub for furious charge really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have no problem with it, just as long as you explain what has what. Hell, I'm doing that myself, it'd be hypocritical to say you couldn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladon Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 anything can be justifiable... so have at it... okay well not night lords and Icon of Tzeentch, I haven't figured that one out yet! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt-Man! Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Here is what you do.... You pain the mark on the base of the model (preferably the front) so the model is indeed 'marked'.. The base counts as part of the model. With that in mind, make the model whatever you want it to look like so long as it has the proper wargear and you tell your opponent ahead of time what it is.

Vodunius Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 okay well not night lords and Icon of Tzeentch, I haven't figured that one out yet! :thanks: as the_unforgiven says: daemonic pact ~ the NL despise worship, but daemonic pacts can simply be mutually beneficial transactions without even a hint of religion being involved, or failing that: rare man-portable Xenos or Dark Age of Technology forcefield generators Mark of Khorne/Khorne Berzerkers can be explained as marines on combat drugs. Mark of Slaanesh.. just good troops I suppose, but infact I find it hard to believe that there arent vast numbers of Night Lords out there who havent slipped into Khorne or Slaanesh 'worship*' given that the legion is noted for being raving psychopaths * in the sense of entering berzerk rages/enjoying the fear of others rather than actually praying Mark of Nurgle ~ I'm sure theres bound to be a fair few Night Lords out there who fell to Nurgle the same way the Death Guard did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Why would you paint a mark on the base of a model ? Besides most peoples bases are covered with "grass/dirt/gravel" anyway Just model up your squad(s) of NL's with chainswords, bp's, LC's whatever to make them look all CC fierce and let your opponent know what they are/"count as".

chillin Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Actually Vodunius/Maladon I (being a Tz fan) coulde see Tz using NL for what ever purpose in one of his (it's) schemes. I could see Tz finding NL's fast attacks and surprize raids "usefull" as a part of whatever larger scheme he is implamenting at the time. It would (IMO) definately be a case of Tz USING the NL's, whether they realized it or not, in one of his complaited plans that no mortal (or chaos lord) could comprehend (I'm sure the great manipulator would have the NL's convienced they were getting a great deal :thanks: ). So I wouldn't have a problem (fluffwize) with some Tz in a NL's army if there was some theme like that behind it. IMO that sound better then the Tz guys are hired merc's or they decided to work together for mutual benefit kinda story. And definately better the some of the NL's decided to worship Tz.

Brother Nihm Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Counts as for Nightlords: MoK = Combat drugs, Veteran skills. MoS = Agile, again - drugs, 3rd edition 'Raptor' armor modifications, terror tactics and markings (causing the enemy to hesitate). MoN = The very first Night Lords, veterans of the Long War, champions of the Bitter Crusade, they simply refuse to die! MoT = Daemonic possession (i.e. for the bodyguard of a Daemon Prince) Anything can be explained away now, go nuts. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_unforgiven Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 I was thinking of painting shoulder guards the color of the gods or maybe the siding of the bases the color depending on the gods so it would be clearly marked. I still have to find out how to make my NL dp and be fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Simple, assemble and paint him in Night Lord colours. :D The legion is already led by a Daemon Prince (Krieg Acerbus) according to Lord of the Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_unforgiven Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 I love that book but personally I think acerbus is a jerk. I prefer sahaals sense of justice and purpose and such. Also my warband secretly remained loyal to sahaal even after his disappearence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
