ohwheresharry Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 So I just picked up my Massacre book at Warhammer World and at first I thought I was going to continue to try and make an Emperor's Children army, but then I saw the wonderful options of the Night Lords. So I hopped on the bandwagon and started throwing a list together. I love the idea of a destroyer squad in a Night Lords army so that was the first unit I thought to put together, however they are costing me a lot of points. Also I'm kinda confined to the terror squads due to the Rite of War, which I think is awesome. I would love some advice on how to either trim some of the fat or change units to be more useful. I tried a list with 10 heavy support marines with missile launchers but I could only fit a squad of 10 night raptors. Anyway, here it is. HQ Sevatar - 175 Moritat - 160 2x Plasma Pistols, ToJ, Artificer Armor, Refractor Field, Jump Pack Elites Destroyer squad - 455 10x Marine, Jump Packs, 2x Missile Launchers, Melta Bombs Sergent Power Fist, Artificer Armor, 3x Phosphex Bombs Troops Terror Squad - 250 10x Marine, 10x Volkite Chargers Terror Squad - 250 10x Marine, 10x Volkite Chargers Terror Squad - 170 7x Marine, 7x Volkite Chargers Fast Attack Night Raptors - 350 10x Raptors, 10x Chain Glaives Heavy Support Sicaran - 185 2x Lascannon, Armored Ceremite I'm at 1995 points at the moment but I don't know what to do with the last 5 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You're actually 5 points over, the Sicaran in that configuration is 195 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just lose a powerfist on the destroyer sergeant for a power weapon for cheaper, than swap it for a nostraman chainglaive FO FREE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanct Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Do you need phosphex, meltabombs AND a power fist in the destroyer squad? You already have the moritat for low ap shots so you could drop souped up destroyer sarge's equipment Also drop a couple of chain blades from the raptors - they're probably going to lose a couple of models before any assaults so it'll save on wastage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicarius123 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I would swap out sevatar for standard praetor, only 3+ armour and nostraman chaingliave wheras you could take this for the same points Praetor, cataphractii armour, paragon blade,volikte charger, digital lasers, grenade harness 177 It might just be my opinion but I prefer the praetor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing about Sevatar is his warlord trait which could be useful for outflanking my destroyer squad next to something that needs to die. Either way they'd both probably sit safely back while everything else rushes forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgermeister Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 i find it difficult to quantify the points sink into the destroyers - 450 points for 10 guys that dont have 2+ is madness. Sevatar can DS his termies in without scattering and i would of thought they would have been a worthier investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No grenade harness but can sweep and isn't S'n'P. OR paragon blade, iron halo and regular bike. Now he's T5 (but a biker in an army of jumppack'n'infantry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
