Hi all! Since i have a problem with NOT collecting tons of armies I was curious for outside opinions: Should I go Night Lords or Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves as my DG's buddies?

Night Lords - While I love their fluff, there's already 2 other local players going Night Lords and their paint scheme looks like it would scare me more than anything (I'm not the best when it comes to free hand work )
Sons of Horus - There is only 1 player locally, and he plays specifically the 1st company, so going this route would work pretty well for me imo.
Other Legions - I'm open to any other legions as I play my DG both as Traitors and Loyalists (depending on who I field as my HQ ) These 2 just come to mind as they are battle bro's! It should also be pointed out that I have my Solar Auxilia and Thousand Sons as well.


the only problem is I have no idea how I would build up these forces as the most I know is that both of them were rather fast, CC focused armies, any tips and opinions?

I have a DG friend locally who I have faced many times, but our armies also work very well together.

Word Bearers contribute with melee prowess and the Death Guard with long-range attacks. My Mhara Gal and his DG Leviathan make for an amazing tag-team (the Leviathan tanks everything while the MG advances through LOS-blocking terrain, and both together can kill even Primarch blobs very quickly).

Word Bearers can sit on objectives very well - getting them off is easier said than done - and DG can blast the enemy off theirs.
