Threw together a list trying to keep to an Alpha strike theme with Night Lords. I tried to utilize 0 daemons, shying away from the ever present Raptor cult, and only marked my Lord purely for the net list build and survivability. I guess playing Night Lords would make me a glutton for pain, but would this list play well at the casual, semi-competitive, and tournament levels?

Chaos Lord with Mark of Nurgle, chaos bike, Power fist, Lightning claw, Sigil of corruption, and daemon heart.

2 min cultists squads (reserve and forget).

3 chaos chosen (5 man squads) with 4 Plasma guns and a chaos rhino.

8 chaos bikers with 3 meltaguns and a champ with combi-melta.

3 chaos Havoc squads (5 man squads) with 4 meltaguns and a chaos rhino.

I think I may have gone overboard with the special weapons, but I was going for fast, hard hitting, and causes fear with the crimson Slaughter suppliment. It seems fluffy, besides the mark of nurgle on the lord, but would it be playable?

The bikes can take only 2 melta guns.
Also of it to be fluffy I'd really like to see some raptros I know they are subpar to bikes but they are quite fluffy for me for night lords.
Also the cultist squads brake the fluffiness for me. I'd prefer to see 2 squads of csm with rhinoes but that is only for the fluffy aspect.

Now I love the chosen squad with plasma especially since you can give them prefered enemy from the crimson slaughter and I also love the 3 havoc squads.
I dislike combi-weapons and I think they are way too expansive for what they provide. I like your warlord as well.
I do not see a reason for 8 bikes in a big squad. I get it you want to have a nice bubble wrap for your warlord but with all those rhinos you can hide the bikes also nobody will shoot at them when you have 3x units of 4 plasma + 3x units of 4 melta moving flat out in your oponent face.

Now with this list you have a good chance against msu-stile list but against a death star list I think it will eat you alive. If you brake the bikes into smaller squads you can use them to be fed to a death star and to bubble wrap things you do not wish this death star to charge.

Also without an outflank option on the rhinoes I really do not see how you can deal with knights and gargants. You are csm and you are playing the game hard mode. But I really like this list. So against casual, semi-competitiv is great against tournament lists I do not see it preforming that good agains most of the lists.
