Biggest problem I have is a lack of long-range anti-tank. Plenty of close-range stuff. The one thing I don't want to cut is the Raptors and Lord, because this is a Night Lords theme. How about I drop a Troop and buy a pair of Preds w/ Lascannons (and up the count of Raptors to 7 total)? I want to avoid Oblits, because of the theme. Any ideas? Also, does it look half bad? I was going to do Iron Warriors, but as a painter, I just couldn't stand that bland color scheme. Now Night Lords look like a blast to paint and maybe even play. One thing I am debating on heavily is using another Codex and count-as rules, so I can have access to more fitting stuff. Anyhow, general thoughts?

if your concern is long range an-tank why not give the havocs lascanons and they shouldn't have a champ.also give some of your CSM's flamers as the list is lacking anyi-horde other than the havocs and the lightning claws.meltas are good but against ork hordes are kinda wasted. the predator idea fits with the theme as it was always seen as one of the faster tanks.

Even though they are havoks, they are a close range unit kitted like that so a champ is useful!

I would actually make these chosen so then can infiltrate if you're gonna set them up like this


More raptors
How are the lord/raptors gonna cope if they get charged by big stuff? - swap the raptor LC for a PF IMO
Swap the raptors banner for Slaaneshor khorne if you're willing to go slightly against fluff
