Hey all, Swampmist here again with a conundrum. So, I have three legions I enjoy the rules and lore of already, in the IW, IH and RG. However, I would like to have two legions for both traitor and loyalist play, and would like a dedicated melee legion. My question to you all is, which have you found cooler\More fun\More competitive out of the World Eaters and the Night Lords? Personally I love the idea of both, as I have a love of hordes and both play into the style of masses of marines with combat weapons charging people, but can't decide between the two. World Eaters seem more like the 30k equivalent of orks, where you just throw a bucket of dice at the table and laugh, while Night Lords are the speedy evil batmen of the legions. I also love the special weapons of both legions, although I have no idea if their actually worth bringing. So, while playing both is an option, with three legions already I'd rather not need to spread myself too thin. So please, bring on your opinions! I'd love to hear what ya'll have to say!

I won't talk competitive as I personally don't believe that matters in 30k, but cool and fluff, bloody hell that's a hard one.

Bias aside (world eaters player) they both have there merits, both are really cool for conversion purposes, more so than any other legion, you can go full on tribal theme with brutal weaponry on your eaters, I used the onyx weapons from the lizardmen for that look, fur on shoulders etc.

Night lords you can go head hunter style, voodoo priest craziness, my mate did this and it looks really cool.

Well, As a World Eater player, what do you enjoy about them on the table? Do you enjoy a specific unit over others? what general legion units do you think are most fun with the tactics? I've heard that detsroyers are super fluffy, and I LOVE the idea of destroyers and having rad everything, are they fun\good\fluffy?
