So with the new codex coming soonish I wanted to test my night lords one last time. With a few changes made to fit with what's coming based on the leaks, like the terminators being loaded out the way it'll be legal to load them out come the new dex. I've got a game scheduled for this list already, and was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips/thoughts on it beforehand. It's been... a minute... since the last time I actually played 40k lmao.

It's also DEFINITELY not intended to be competitive (hence the land raider lmao) but if you have any tips on how to win with a casual list like this I'll keep it in mind.

Chaos Lord can you arm him with a powerfist/thunderhammer instead of the power sword? The lightining claw is already far better than the sword in all cases.

The terminator sorcerer has smite, prescience and.... what else?

The troop squads instead of the plasma pistol can you find the points for a combi-plasma? And the lone melta gun, maybe something long range. or double melta and use it from reserves?

Any options on the termiantors? Can you use lighting claws and combi-meltas all around?

Raptors... not sure if the time of plasma has returned... I might try to minimize this squad,... no weapons... just drop in, do your secondary and die.

Maybe strip down the rhino, its gonna die, save points.

Lord is like that because it's how I built the dread lord from Artel W. It's supposed to be Decimus, it's a whole thing. Similarly the terminators are built that way because it's the way they'll supposedly be legal in 9th.

Raptors I can definitely minimize. And I like the troops suggestions, could do all that yeah. Tho the rhino is there to die on their behalf, instead of them lol.
