Hexagon Sun Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi all, I'm looking to put together a small NL list to start me off in the heresy and as a shopping list of sorts. After having a look through some lists I didn't want to go down the terror assault route. So I've gone more for a general mix of things but I'm not sure if I'm lacking in any particular areas? Maybe I should be investing in more vehicle upgrades? Ultimately I'm aiming for a more mechanised force but not until I get to a decent points level. I've already got a Storm Eagle and a Typhon sitting waiting for then. Here's the list: +++ Night Lords (999pts) +++ + HQ (90pts) + Legion Centurion (90pts) Artificer Armour Nostraman Chainglaive Refractor Field Trophies of Judgement + Troops (440pts) + Legion Tactical Squad (195pts) x10 Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier Legion Vexilla Legion Tactical Squad (245pts) +5 Marines Legion Vexilla Additional CC weapons Melta Bombs + Elites (199pts) + Terror Squad (199pts) +3 Executioners 7x Boltgun, Melta Bombs Nostraman Chainglaive + Heavy Support (270pts) + Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (95pts) Legion Predator Tank Heavy Bolters Legion Sicaran Battle Tank (175pts) Lascannons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I give you kudos for running a non terror list they are common, but they do have an advantage over regular lists! I see you have mobility with the tanks and one rhino tank squad, terror squad can infiltrate, but you have one slow unit and a commander ready for combat with no home. Consider dropping a legionary so your centurion has a home in the rhino. Now if you made your centurion a delagatus (rules on FW website) you can open up your options further coz he can pick a Rite of War, if you fancied it. Terror RoW does have some advantages mind so always keep it an option unless you really like your heavy stuff. You do have a Typhon waiting, and that 7 inch pie plate can always make up for 1 regular heavy slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagon Sun Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks for the reply. I like the terror assault RoW but probably won't give it a go until I get a basic force in place that I can expand from so I wanted something more vanilla for now. I know what you mean about the centurion, but isn't 10 the minimum size for a tactical squad? I was going to foot slog him for now with the larger squad but that might be a bad idea if they'll not get into combat. A pride of the legion or chosen duty list was another option using a delegatus but I was concerned it was a bit low on numbers. I wanted to keep the terror squad in for fluffiness but is there anything you'd suggest to balance it out? Not sure what to expect at 1k from a HH army as I know it's a tricky points level.

helterskelter Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 You are correct, had a moment there as regards centurion. Raptors are an option, onslaught is a useful rule, if armed suitably it can be charge and wipeout in the same turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagon Sun Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I had a little juggle in the list and thought up an alternative with some raptors in. A couple of things like heavy bolters on the predator had to go, which makes me wonder whether I should drop it altogether and take more raptors. +++ Night Lords (1000pts) +++ + HQ (100pts) + Legion Centurion (100pts) Artificer Armour Jump Pack Nostraman Chainglaive Trophies of Judgement + Troops (425pts) + Legion Tactical Squad (215pts) Legion Tactical Sergeant 9x Legion Tactical Space Marines Legion Vexilla Additional Chainsword or Combat Blade Legion Rhino Armoured Carrier Legion Tactical Squad (210pts) Legion Tactical Sergeant 14x Legion Tactical Space Marines Legion Vexilla + Fast Attack (225pts) + Night Raptor Squad (225pts) 6x Night Raptors Huntmaster Melta Bombs 3x Nostraman Chainglaive (1 on Huntmaster) + Heavy Support (250pts) + Legion Predator Strike Armoured Squadron (75pts) Legion Predator Tank Legion Sicaran Battle Tank (175pts) Lascannons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
