Looking at making a decent Night Lords with the basic stuff from Betrayal of Calth (and a few other bits I have lying around). No Legion Rites of War just yet whilst me and my friend (DG player) are getting into it and establishing ourselves in a playgroup with different legions. Looking to build up to 3k but also for use in Zone Mortalis if need be. We're also looking to make it as fluffy as possible but are open to competitive suggestions.

HQ

Delagatus
-Tartaros Terminator Armour
-Nostraman Chainglaive
-Combi-Melta
-Terminator Transponder

= 117

Troops

20x Tactical Squad
- Legion Vexilla
- Melta Bombs on Sergeant

= 240

15x Assault Marines
- Nostraman Chainglaive on Sergeant
- Meltabombs on Sergeant
- Combat Shield on Sergeant

= 258

Elites

5x Terminators
- Nostraman Chainglaive on Sergeant
- 2x Power Swords, 1x Power Axe, 1x Chain Fist
- 5x Combi-Meltas

= 220

Heavy Support Squad
- 5x Missile Launchers
- Auxillary Scanner on Sergeant

= 165

Total = 1000

I tried to have enough anti-infantry and anti-armour in this list, mainly relying on weight of fire against marines (although Termiators might be able to cut through some and then sweep).

Any suggestions to further improve? I would ideally like to keep the Tactical Squad as I have it assembled and am in the process of painting up.

The list isnt bad at all however i would suggest turning the tactical squad into two as big squads are a bit unwieldy for an army like nightlords, i would also change the terminators power weapons to either lightning claws or chainfists as the lightning claws are more likely to wound then the power swords and one chainfist isnt always enough.

I'd drop the missile launchers. If you ever go down the route of Night Lords ROW, you only get one HS slot and you don't want to waste it on a 5 man missile launcher squad. Better off with a 5 man melta or plasma squad with the aim of putting them in a rhino or a pod to get them where they're needed.

20 man squads in NL are great due to the Talent for Murder rule.

Personally I would drop a couple of Assault marines to find points to give the whole squad melta bombs to give you some anti armour.

I agree with the above about Terminator load out. I'd go twin lightning claws on 3 and 2 with chain fists
