Using the Night Lords stratagems sheet I'm going for a wrangler style list where the opponent can't retreat out of combat and my charges are insured. Other than that it's a mixed bag of units with some ranged support weaved in as well (I've found the key to playing it is to not leave the ranged section back in deployment but to advance the entire army towards your main objective on the board, this insures a stronger structure that doesn't get vaporized by the enemy counter attack)

Hey Brazenjaw,

There's some good stuff in the list but a couple of bits I'd change.

1. You have too many HQs, you could easily drop the master of executions, master of possession and warpsmith.
2. You want to max out that squad of warptalons, they're great but squishy. Plus a big footprint means you can tie more units down. Plus if they get auspex scanned they're likely to loose most of their numbers, whereas if you take 10 you may have 5 left.
3. If you can put a jump pack on that choad lord you can use him in a host raptorial detachment. It will make your charges almost guaranteed and the reroll all hits stratergem is great.
4. With the freed up points you could get some more havocks, predators or some oblitorators.
