Greetings
Just had a 2500 pt game yesterday against Sons of Horus, led by Horus.

It was a close game, but got the win due to a lot of early game points (we played deadlock mission, killed 5 units turn 1)

How is my list looking? What should I add to improve it?

I ran primarchs chosen, gave Konrad a terminator command squad, but put them in a land raider with my terminator chaplain, and had Konrad roll with my raptors.

Terror squads infiltrated, one terminator squad foot slogged, while the other teleported in.

Legion Astartes [Traitor, VIII: Night Lords]

Never put minimun members in the melee units of the Night Lords, if you want to take profit of their rules make the unit of Raptors from 10 to above, and put an assault squad instead that can capture an objective.

The strong benefit of the Command Squad in 30k is being fearless, very rare in 30k, but if you put a chaplain or a primarch with them is redundant. Simply change them for a terminator unit.

I could imagine that the true reason for put the command squad instead the terminators is the LR transport capacity. Proxie your LR as a Spartan, the Spartan can carry 25 models and is far better. Take a unit of 10 Terminators with a chaplain in a Spartan has more sense for me.

Those are my suggestions, I have a Night Lords army too. Enjoy it.
