I always liked the look of the Night Lords - their background was pretty interesting too, with their terror tactics and intimidation being as much a part of their strategy as the actual fighting.

Not read the latest Chaos codex, so I'm not sure how they work now in terms of special rules / options, but it was mainly their background that first interested me.

I'm hoping they'll get some coverage in one of the Heresy novels at some point - haven't seen any in the ones so far (if they have turned up, could someone pleas let me know which one it was in)...

For me the answear is simple, The Word Bearers, were it not for them then the horus herasy would most prob of never happend as Lorgar and his legion were pawns of the ruinos powers a long time before The Great Betreayer fell from the emperors light and into damnation. It was Lorgar and his 'warrior covens' that laid the foundations for Houros to turn a fully half of the Space Marine legions to his banner.

You missed out The Emperors Children and The Thousand Sons mate, Slaanesh and Tzeentch frown apon you lol :lol:

Night lords just because:
Night Haunter became more susceptible to the whispers of Chaos, and his legion's campaigns became less and less justifiable, leaving a trail of devastated worlds across the galaxy. The legion now fought solely in the name of terror. Eventually, the Emperor was forced to recall Night Haunter to answer the charges laid against him and his legion. The novel Lord of the Night, implies the Night Lords' excesses were sanctioned by the Emperor; when they were no longer necessary, they became scapegoats to hide the dark side of the crusade.

But before the Night Lords could reach Earth, a new crisis erupted: the Horus Heresy. Night Haunter swiftly pledged support to Warmaster Horus. Unlike the other traitors, the Night Lords allied themselves to none of the Chaos Gods. Chaos, to them, was just another weapon in their arsenal of terror. Slowly but surely, the Night Lords, now entirely comprised of murderers and criminals, carved a bloody path towards Terra.

After the invasion of Terra, the legion did not splinter as did the other Traitor Legions. Instead they warred across the Eastern Fringe in a campaign of random genocide. Among their acts was the destruction of Nostramo by Orbital Bombardment. The fleet targeted the single vulnerable point in the planet's crust - where Night Haunter had first arrived on the planet. The planet was destroyed, fulfilling Night Haunter's prophecy.

Half the operatives of the Callidus Temple were dispatched to slay the Night Lords' Primarch in hopes of halting the slaughter. Eventually one of the assassins, M'Shen (a reference to Martin Sheen who played Kurtz' intended assassin in Apocalypse Now, itself based on Conrad's novel), penetrated Night Haunter's fortress and slew him. Lord of the Night suggests this fortress had been planned by Night Haunter to be his mausoleum. The Primarch allowed his executioner's entry, having ordered his soldiers to let her pass. Night Haunter saw himself as the embodiment of the tyranny he had once fought. Judging by his enigmatic, weary last words, however, he appeared ready to face punishment. Death was vindication from his crimes.

"I have known of your presence since you first entered my territory, assassin. I could have had you destroyed at any time. The fact is that I have allowed you to get this close to me, and what you are about to do, will prove everything that I have ever believed."

Lord of the Night suggests Night Haunter had a dual personality. He possessed not only two names, but two identities. "He knew that he was two men. One was... just and righteous [Konrad Curze]-" the daemon spat the words, disgusted "- whilst the other [Night Haunter]... mm... the other had felt the kiss of Chaos all its life. One thrived on focus. The other ate fear."

and thats why Haunter beats Lorgar who fails at life.

Have not read the new CODEX: Chaos Space Marines yet but from what I have heard they have made them uber powerfull but have taken away all the fluff away, man I hate it when GW does that cause when new players come into the fold they wont really know to much of each armies history :( . But hay I have not read it yet so I may be wrong lol :lol:

currently reading legion myself and technically your correct

originally that may have been true but these days hey

they failed in their self appointed duty and now theres nothing they can do to fix that

so while they may not be technically a chaos legion - they did turn traitor against the Emperor - thus making them traitors to the imperium

welcome to the world of shades of grey :ph43r:

well thats the thing, the belive that by killing the imperium they will acomplish the emperers greater goal (to kill off chaos) as the imperium are making chaos stronger everytime they fight, and the imperium is slowly dieing to chaos, and when chaos finally over takes the imperium they will burn them selfs out with in a few months. thats why there are no daemons of any sort in the alpha legion and why they dont live in the eye of terror.
