*Children of the Darkest Night! Your father calls you forth, that the universe may know your name and weep to hear it. Midnight falls throughout the segmentum, as the sons of the Night Haunter begin to gather. Step forth and roar your oaths so that the galaxy may know who stands against them, invincible in midnight clad. False prophets of the Corpse-God, we are your nightmares made manifest and we have come for you!*





(To all the Nightlords of Bolter and Chainsword, both full and part-time, join us in our project to document the full might of our legion. One of the things that we have heard repeated among Nightlords hobbists are the difficulties of the initial search for a company number that hasn't been "taken." To help new and returning midnight clad faithful alike, we ask you proclaim the name, deeds and number of your company to be recorded here in what will be an ongoing roster, organized by your company number. We've even gone first to start to provide a good template. We'll be updating this roster in the first post with new members as long as the mods will allow, so that we may record all Nightlords faithful, both casual and hardcore for future projects and other fun stuff in our little community.)

TheWarmaster stands, in midnight clad, ready to bring death to those who follow the myriad banners of the False Emperor.

 

The 100th Company of the VIII Legion is mine to command, the Bloody Centuria. Chief amongst these pawns, is Captain Marek Vanya, Slaughterer of Gherstgan, Goremaker of the VIII.

 

 

I will echo our First Captain: DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!

The Horus Heresy was never about Horus.  Chaos knew that the part of the Emperors plan was to reunite man, but also to rid the universe of the Four Powers of Ruin.  Thus he outlawed religion, because he knew religion was mans weakness.  So the ruinous powers retreated or so it seemed and slowly worked their way back into those from history.  But did you ever stop and think that Chaos got what they wanted."  The Night Lord leaned in close to the flayed Cardinal and continued "They never cared that Horus would fail.  They just wanted the war to continue forever, and they know how man is."  The Night Lord laughs through his speaker helm as the Cardinal lays there without eyelids.

 

Standing up he turns and walks towards a wall with a collection of knives some known to man others never seen by mortal man before.  Picking up another knife he walked back to the Cardinal and continues "Those little miracles done by man during the Heresy that were the founding of your little religion.  Think about it for a second Cardinal with this question as I continue my work.  How were they done by the Emperor while he was not yet put on the Golden Throne."

+++Night Lords Legion+++
++113th 'Shadow Talons' Company++
++Current Lord: Davian Octiz++
++Current location: Unknown++

-Little is known of the Shadow Talons but what is is that they have been under the same commander since the times of the Horus Heresy. Records show Davian was there on Isstvan V fighting the Salamanders along with his Terror Squads. They have also been recorded since terrorising many Imperial worlds. Turning cities into charnal houses in one night. These attacks seem to be completely random, with no recognisable pattern.-
-Chaos worship is unknown but no mutations or noticable worship have been noted during any recent years.-
-Equipment is rarely heavily adorned with cosmetic modification but trophies are commonplace. Looks like they salvage armour and equipment where possible with current Imperial Astartes piece being noted.-

Warband of Al Ahn Aglaeca former captain of 29th company with accompanying elements of 55th company led by Csaba "Necromancer" Cszimandia.

 

- Unknown number of Claws

- Strong pressence of Dark Mechanicum

- Worship of Dark gods is present but rarely use of Daemons and almost not existent mutations 

[Flint13]

Looks great so far, guys! Let me know if you have anything you'd like to add or edit.

 

It goes without saying that anyone who has a friend, acquaintance or frenemy that plays Nightlords is duty bound to try to drag them in here  

[nhaunter]

Mine 29th company is led by Al Ahn and 55th company by Csaba and together they are known as warband of Al Ahn.

 

Thank you

Answering the call, the "Tears of Night" are present!!

 

-Syndahl Vas Commands in Darkness Clad

-3 Claws

-company uses heavy Raptor (2) and Bike (2) units 

-No chaos worship but slight mutations shown

The tears of night will streak down your face, like the blood of life will flow from your neck

Born through a wound cased by lies,  and to a world where we all must die

Sorrowful words in a dour and endless time

Come follow us down these stairs, from this life to the next...

I think all the Legions have great modelers personally. It's the scope for individuality with Chaos that does it.

I lead these soldiers considered to be dead. So face them dead. My 'Dark Vanguard' is ready for fight.

Fear be our arms. Darkness be our armor.

Presumably part of the former 8th company, about 50 heavy-mutated psychopaths, plus 10 pure terminators (known as 'burax' among company members). Numbers are probably false. Act as high-qualified mercenaries.

Hail, mighty Astartes of the VIII Legion;

 

Though I serve as an envoy of his Majesty, Lord Zebulon Hellshrike, formerly Captain of the World Eaters Legion 11th Assault Company, now Master of the Maelstrom and Red Right Hand of the Gods, my lord maintains a valued alliance with several forces of the prodigally ruthless Night Lords Legion. I shall see to it that your brethren receive word through our various lines of communication that other forces of the VIII Legion are seeking each other out, the better to more efficaciously rend and tear the Imperium's flesh from its rotting carcass.

 

Furthermore, in his beneficence, my lord has commanded me bring news of his latest edict, of a nature... clandestine. In the past he has allied with forces of the Word Bearers Legion, out of respect for their status as a Legion and in recognizance of their capability to further his cause. It is unfortunate to say, but some members of the XVII Legion were not so... respectful of the bonds we ought to have maintained with one another at the outset of our Long War, and heaped petty slights upon the forces of the Night Haunter due to matters of faith.

 

While we understand that the bleating of sheep can hardly find a chink in the armor of your pride, his lordship has of now deemed those forces of the Word Bearers who erstwhile fought for him to be a waste of his time, with their endless prattling of obedience to the Gods and spreading their Black Gospel. He may arrange for certain of their assets to be lightly defended, if you are willing to provide reciprocal assistance regarding certain items of import held by one whom you may have been in the employ of at times recent... an usurper, Huron the Youngling, who has encroached much upon my master's rightful realm while he was in communion with the Empyrean.

 

I await your response to this communique with anticipation and duty, as befits your most humble servant.

 

Epistolary Karlhaus of the Scourged, envoy of the Prince Zebulon Hellshrike of the Maelstrom, Keeper of the Vaults, Master of the Warptouched Slave Cohort

 

****************************************************

 

Hey all, I_D here. Got directed to this thread by Flint13 after he saw this thread and thought my forces were in midnight clad! They currently are clad in nothing quite so grand and rather not clad at all, but I do have plans to introduce Night Lords into my warband, as you may have gathered (as well as Word Bearers, World Eaters, Black Legion, Violators, Scourged, Hakanor's Reavers, zombie Loyalists... and so on). I'm not sure quite how many, but at least a squad of Chosen/very veteran Chaos Space Marines, a squad of Raptors, and probably at least one of each a Lord and Sorcerer. Perhaps some vehicles too, and maybe poor, poor Bibaculus and his squad of tormented Warp-cursed. I will fill you in when... well, when Karlhaus' communication receives a response from your brothers (when I paint some up).

 

I guess you could throw him up there. His official title is Murder-Master Bibaculus Vatia of the Night Lords 5th Slaughterhost, formerly Captain of the Night Lords 5th Assault Company. Estimated strength is probably a few dozen, with lots of "cultists" (civilians forced into battle with bomb collars) though if he runs into Acerbus' brood he might get a few converts.

 

A fitting quote might be, "If any mortal can grant us an end, let him try. If any God wishes to answer my pleas for one, let It do so. If this must go on... then I shall lay as many heads in their bed of blood as may satisfy my appetite."

 

Ave Dominus Nox, brothers.

[Hellios]

Void Lords (43rd)

Admiral Alpplordrin Gruharius

Last Imperial sighting: Near the Maelstrom.

Estimated strength: Around 200 Astartes, and larger regular (non-marine) forces.

 

Gruharius,  self-styled admiral, is the chaos lord responsible for an increase in piracy in the shipping lanes near the Maelstrom. Currently the Imperial Navy is carrying out operations in the area in an effort to put and end to his raids. It also seems that he has caught the attention of the Black Heart, and that his forces have clashed with those of the Black heart. So far the Imperial Navy has been unable to successfully engage his naval assets. Most of his activity is based around void combat, something his astartes seem to specialize in. When he has carried out ground actions his forces seem to rely on stealth and infiltration, before taking their foes off-guard with ambush attacks. As of yet we have been unable to determine any pattern or reason for his attacks. They appear random with no objective other than to cause chaos and disruption.

[Flint13]

Looking great so far guys! I love that we even pulled Jaspcat out of his Deathguard closet. That makes me super happy.

 

@ DarkVen - Well... I know exactly what you mean. My hobby hiatuses tend to last a couple of weeks. I guess I'm just more of an emotional hobby roller coaster than you Ven,

 

Aaaaand I just realized I really have to include the company's that good 'ol A D-B mentions in his works... Ok, I remember the 10th company, led by Vandred (the Exalted)... but I know there were a ton of them mentioned in Prince of Crows and Savage Weapons. Anyone want to help me catalog?

Yeah, I can help out in an hour-ish.

Yeah unfortunately I'm running late so I'm away from PC and books at the moment.

[Kol Saresk]

Okay, from Savage Weapons is Sheng the Equerry of Curze and Sevatar, First Captain.

In Prince of Crows, we get
-Malithos, Ninth Company
-Var Jahan, 27th Company
-Cel Herec, 43rd Company
-Naraka the Bloodless, 13th Company
-Ophion, 39th Company
-Krukesh the Pale, 103rd Company
-Tovac Tor, 114th Company

And mentioned in Soul Hunter is Halasker of the 3rd Company.

I will be making fluff for the CXIII Airmobile/Penal Company, but there may or may not be minis. It mostly depends on how the next year or so goes.

[Flint13]

Nice! That's amazing Kol. You totally get all my likes for a week!

 

 

**EDIT** Mk, got all of those companies taken down. Thanks again! Let me know when you'd like me to take down the info for your 113th, Kol.

 

A thought occurs... how super sickly bleached do you have to be before *other* Nostromans stick you with the sobriquet of "The Pale?"
