Finally getting on the 30k bandwagon and doing my favourite legion, the Night Lords.
I don't have much experience with HH (read: any), so any and all c&c is welcome.

Terror Assault

Sevatar the one and only

Apothecarion Detachment;
Apothecary w/ Volkite Charger (Goes with larger Terror Squad)
Apothecary w/ Augery Scanner (Goes with Breacher Squad)

Breacher Squad (minimum sized squad) w/ 2 Graviton Guns + sergeant w/ AA, Chainglaive, Melta Bombs

Terror Squad (Anvillus Drop Pod) x7 w/ 7x Volkite Chargers + sergeant w/ AA, Chainglave, Melta Bombs and Volkite Charger
Terror Squad (minimum sized squad) w/ 4x Volkite Chargers + sergeant w/ AA, Chainglave, Melta Bombs and Volkite Charger
Terror Squad (minimum sized squad) w/ 4x Volkite Chargers + sergeant w/ AA, Chainglave, Melta Bombs and Volkite Charger

Land Speeder Squadron, 2 Speeders w/ Grav Gun, Heavy Flamer and 2x HKs each.
Land Speeder Squadron, 2 Speeders w/ Grav Gun, Heavy Flamer and 2x HKs each.



The idea is to have Sevatar drop with the larger Terror Squad + Apothecary to become an immediate threat in the enemy's deployment zone. Other Terror Squads would infiltrate to gang up on a single enemy flank, to achieve local numerical superiority and alpha strike as much as possible. Following it up with charging the turn after.

The Breachers + Apothecary will be a tough turn 1 presence if I decide to outflank the other Terror Squads. Otherwise they're simply an objective holder.

The Land Speeders would rush up to support the infantry and focus on enemy armour, after which they can flame any infantry blocks that still resist.


Thoughts? Opinions and Constructive Criticisms?
Thanks.

To start master of ambush affects outflanking units allowing them to reroll for what table edge they come in on. I would suggest trading out the breachers for two tactical squads as they will be batter at holding objectives as well as give you extra firepower through fury of the legion, then spend the remaining points on melta bombs for the terror squad sargents. This allows you to take more objectives as terror squads aren't scoreing units(this might be wrong as i have the old legion astartes book) as well as give the terror squads more punch if you need to take down vehicles as melta bombs ignore armoured ceramite. Personaly i would only bring one dreadnought as they wont be mobile enough to keep up with the majority of your force. This will also give you enough points to buy a drop pod for a terror squad and sevatar to come in fixing sevatars mobility problem. Also javallin speeders are the same price as your land speeders but with better armor and wepons.

Thanks for the response.

Ah, so a unit would have to have outflank to begin with, understood. Then I can see the mobility issues with Sevatar.

I haven't built anything yet so I can drop both the dreads and get more Land Speeders. I understand the Javelin is better but I can't afford Forgeworld prices.

Any more thoughts or suggestions?

If you dont mind buying recasts there are some cheap forge world recasts on ebay from sellers in china, a very reliable seller is laura hook. As for suggestions nightlords like many ifiltration heavy armies lack good anti tank for this i would suggest either a sicaran ( normal, venator or arcus) or on the cheaper side a special weapons squad of meltas or a heavy weapons squad of either missile launchers or lascannons. You also might want to consider giving one of the terror squads melta wepons to deal with tanks.

Also most games for 30k usually run about 2000 points to 2500 (at least in my shop) might want to consider buying units that will be able to scale with the points

Okay I have edited my list according to your recommendations.

Dropped Dreads and increased anti-armour via speeders.
Moved Sevatar to a larger Terror Squad in a drop pod.
Added Melta Bombs to all squads.

What are your thoughts on my updated list? Thanks.

Looks good just prioritise targets and you should do great. Also be careful with sevatar as he is struggles with takeing down any charachter with an str8 ap2 weapon
