Hobby & Painting MOP and Possessed Proxy

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I want to run a Creations of Bile list with a big blob of Possessed with a Master of Possession. However I’ve fallen into the trap of making my Night Lords army with little to no chaos corruption and I’m not a fan of the possessed models.

Could I get away with running Black Templars sword brethren as Possessed (scraping off all the iconography and making them more like brother of the VIII). I was thinking kind of like an old Nostraman knightly order.

Also, what less chaosy proxy could I use for a MoP. I was thinking about making it like an apothecary to lean into the Creations of Bile theme. Plus I love an apothecary.

Ave Dominus Nox!!

Rules & Tactics New to Night Lords – a couple of questions about the Combat Patrol

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm completely new to Chaos Space Marines and just bought the Night Lords Combat Patrol. I'm currently building it and I'm really excited to get it on the table this weekend.

I've spent the last couple of days reading a lot of the recent posts here about the new Raptors, the Murderwing and Night Claw box, and the recent changes, so I'm sorry if these questions have already been answered somewhere. I think I understand most of what's happening, but I'm still confused about two things.

  1. Combat Patrol rules

I was planning to play Combat Patrol this weekend, but it looks like the Night Lords Combat Patrol has disappeared from the official app. Is there still an official way to play this Combat Patrol? Are the datasheets and detachment available somewhere else, or is it no longer supported?

  1. Building the models

I'm also unsure how I should build the models. The instruction manual shows one way to assemble the unit for the Combat Patrol, but with the Murderwing and Night Claw boxes release and all the discussion about new Raptors, I'm wondering if I should still follow the instructions or build them differently. I ordered an aditional Night Claw Box and two murderwing boxes

Since I'm new, I don't want to glue everything together only to realize I should have built them another way.

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Hobby & Painting Warp Talon: the "First Forgotten"

Tried to really underline the Warp corruption that has consumed my Talons. No longer talking (or bickering) with their brothers, just appearing from the shadows when the scent of bloodshed reaches its peak.

Their former aspiring champion was the first of their squad to be corrupted and it spread from him. As such not only are his changes the most obvious, but he is the only one left with any kind of name: the First Forgotten.

Feedback welcomed as always.

Rules & Tactics Haarken World Claimer Success?

16 Upvotes

I was wondering what people’s experience with playing Haarken attached to 10 raptors in 11th ed. I understand it may not be the most competitive pick but is he fun/viable? I am not running any nightmare detachments so I’m not concerned about battle shock.

Would love to be able to do some damage with my new raptors and feel like they did something beyond point scoring. (Previously using 5 man raptor as point scoring/action monkeys)

Hobby & Painting Cyrion WIP

Post image
544 Upvotes

Hail Brothers - Working on some Red Corsair / First Claw kitbashes - Have had their midnight clad painted for the longest time, becoming increasingly undecided on how to colour their trim. Have opted for a slight difference in them all to further reflect their personalities, and here is Cyrion so far. Nearly made it through the omnibus and each chapter is only making me fall further and further down their delightfully twisted and arguably tragic rabbithole of an existence. No spoilers as I haven't finished quite yet!

Wondering if anyone can see the vision? Wanted to keep Cyrion somewhat clean, and curious to what you all have done yourselves/what you think to my progress?

Criticism welcome! I hope to post the rest of the claw in due time, although living in a van and painting on the road can be a little sporadic ha.

Rules & Tactics So like, will people still even try to do Huron+Masters+Chosen combo ?

Its 410 points now.

The individual parts of it still look neat, but together I don't think its a sustainable choice anymore.

I intend to run A nightmare hunt+cabal list, and masters are our strongest psyker unit, so they are definitely going to stay in my list, question is, what do I attach them too now ?

Hobby & Painting Wanting to Kitbash some units with these boxes. Any advice?

Been wanting to try my hand at Nightlords for a while now after painting one for my legionaries kill team a few months ago. Also been wanting to try true scale marines. Didnt realize the sigmar chosen have 40mm bases but since these are being made for aesthetics first game practicality later I figured I’d try to Kitbash some of the bigger CSM units. So far I have

Chaos Lord

Master of Executions

Sorcerer

Does anyone either have any experience doing this kind of conversion? Or any other suggestion of units I can make from these? Any advice is welcomed. Really excited to get into Nightlords.

Rules & Tactics Dread Talons Rules.

4 Upvotes

Hello fellow sons and daughters of the VIIIth. I have a rules questions for you all.

I know that, from a rules perspective Nightmare Hunt is objectively better than Dread Talons however there are some things about Dread Talons I prefer, namely it impacts all battle shock roles and Merciless Pursuit. I've had some success with running Dread Talons and using Merciless Pursuit as often as I can keeping the pressure and battleshock up to deny opponent scoring and I feel it's a fun and thematic way to run my list.

However I am worried I making some mistakes with my rules interpretations as follows;

1) Can I run Dread Talons with Murdertalon? Dread Talons does not have the nightmare tag so as far as I am aware this is allowed? They work really well together, and actually make Dread Talons rule feel very impactful for raptors (-2 battleshock pre fight phase then buffs/debuffs), and I am aware the VIIIth is not used to having nice things so I feel like I can't be right here.

2) Will breaker enhancement states it's battleshock test occurrs after the *bearer* makes it's attacks. The core rules states "If an attack fails or inflicts damage, this sequence ends for that attack. When all attacks have either failed or inflicted damage, this sequence ends and those attacks

have been resolved." (Pg18 core rules) - I have been playing it occurs after the whole unit had fought (which felt a little pointless) but reading this could I not attack with my character first, hope for a battleshock then attack with the rest of the unit?

3) Not a rules question but speculation. Do you think Dread Talons will stick around much longer or will it be replaced by Nightmare Hunt once the official codex drops? I am aware that we currently do not know when the chaos codex will drop and I think this is going to be my way to play until that happens. I'll be sad when it goes if it isn't replaced/supported with alternatives
