~~~~~265 pts

6 chaos space marine raptors with furious charge
3 with melta guns
aspiring champ with lightning claws
~~~~~265 pts

total is 1560 pts......

so i have 240 pts to spend, i have several options  here, ill go ahead and list them

a heavy support choice, dreadnaught/havok squad/predator

another squad of raptors....wich is probably going to happen, a flamer squad would fit nicely i believe

or a squad of furies, and put marks on my lords, and on my raptor squads

so there are my options....cheers

[chaotica]

i think i would go for heavy support stuff beacuse ihave got a CCChaos army and i lean't the hard way heavy support kill bit like the germans in the great war if ya know what i mean so get some of that and that's a pretty good list wha are you planning after the heavy any other options

[Mordimer]

weel, i figured that a tooled out predator with las cannons is 195 pts, thats including parasitic possesion and mutated hull. So that leaves me with 55 points to spend, which could be done easily enough by putting say....
furious charge on the lord, and maybe giving some of the raptor champs mutation, to make them even nastier in cc


2 nights ago, my plasma gun raptor squad took out a 10 man death company with chaplain heh, it was beautiful
str 5 lightning claws on the charge arent something to laugh at

[chaotica]

hmm i know what you mean i was wiped out by some smurf termies with them deepsriked and wiped my termies didn't do anything compared to them and they deepstriked earlier so  i have a daemon price with a pair of master crafted ones sweet hey

[Djinn_]

first, chaotice, you are so atrociously bad at typing it makes my head hurt to read it, if you can't form sentences like a normal person at least check them. I've got to be the 5th person to tell you this.

The list looks pretty good, use  some of your spare points to give your men mark of undivided.

[chaotica]

OK did you understand that or do i have to writ ean essay on punctuation and grammer i  the form of about a two page agrument

[Mordimer]

too get back too my choices  

heres, what i've come up with
predator with twin linked las, and las sponsons with parasitic possession and mutated hull
then give my prince furious charge, and my raptor asp chance chaos mutation

or

Dreadnaught with heavy flamer, plasma cannon, parasitic possession and mutated hull
and same addons to the raptors and prince

or

6 man squad of raptors with flamers, and asp champ with lightning claws

[Djinn_]

OK did you understand that or do i have to writ ean essay on punctuation and grammer i  the form of about a two page agrument

Did I understand what? You had at least three errors in that one sentence (though it wasn't really a sentence). No one else has these problems, if you want people to think your an uneducated yokel, by all means keep spamming meaningless nonsense......


Mordimer, I would go with the raptors, they fit the army better. Not only do night lords run a lot of raptors, but that keeps it so you still have no armored vehicles to be targeted, making their tankbusting units ineffective. But you really should invest in the mark of undivided for the units you are running w/ one veteran skill, it's a point a model, and well worth it.

[Volren]

Djinn, just do as I do and don't read posts you're having difficulty with.

I think you should get the Lascannon Predator to add more anti-tank power to your army.

[Djinn_]

ya.. you're right.. anyways,


you do need more tank busting...
maybe a missile launcher havoc squad w/ tank hunter

[Necromortis]

Lascannon Predators are always fun.  Especially in a Thousand Sons army, but Night Lords should either have a Pred or give Raptors Meltaguns IMO.

[Djinn_]

I run a lascannon pred with mutation, it rocks, but heres the thing: he doesnt have any other vehicles. If he buys one they have something to target all their firepower meant for vehicles at. If he gets another infantry unit, all their tank busting becomes completely wasted. + night lord havocs w/ stealth adept and tank buster are cool =)

[tallarn_commander]

Mordimer, I like your list.  It's got a solid firebase and 19 fast, manueverable, assault troops.

At some point down the road I recommend that you upgrade a couple of your heavy bolters to autocannons or lascannons.  This will increase your firebase's versatility and effectiveness.  Although you'd have to pay for this upgrade somehow.

In addition, I recommend that you eventually try low-budget predators with lascannons sponsons and an autocannon turret.  You have 240 points left to spend and a pair of such preds chime in at 250 points which is only 10 more points over your limit.

Good luck!

i think  agree with devotee and djinn, and should just add more infantry tank bsting.......also, its more fluffy for night lords, to add more raptors.so heres what i'm thinnking... if i drop the furious carge from my melta gun raptors, tht dropsthe points too 247 for a squad, and free's up 18 points for the remainderof the army......so if i add another squad of them, that puts me at 1789 points.....enough to add a ccw to my prince, and maybe add otherthings....not sure yet.....also, i was wondering if i should have demonic strength, or demonic resilience on my lord......either one will give either 6S or 6T, not sure which tho.....kinda leaning towards S right now...
