Nightlords List...


As promised, listed below is the list I am currently working on. First a little History on the army. The Nightlords was my first army when getting into the hobby many years ago. Its the first army I painted completely and cut my teeth on the tail end of 3rd edition and 4th edition. As such the Nightlords have a special place in my heart and will always be my favorite army. With the release of the 4th ed Chaos Codex, my Nightlords army definitely lost a lot of its teeth. They lost their "elite" feel such as being able to grant veteran skills to any CSM unit, gone were my infiltrating Raptors with Furious Charge. Gone was my entire army gaining a +1 to cover saves due to the Stealth Adept special rule. No use crying over something that was though, the army is still fun to use and that's what counts anyway.
