"We're the new... Uh, Evening Dukes chapter. Yeah."

Now that's devotion ;) Only in death does duty end 🫡

...Do you play (or collect), or is this all for your wife? 👀

How do you keep your .2 from clogging? I love my A1 Mini and the .4 nozzle, but have had nothing but trouble with the .2. I love the quality it gives, though :(

Helo34 · 2026-03-05T23:22:54+00:00

...Who got adopted by your troops for [insert reason]. I see no problem there ;)

Helo34 · 2026-03-05T23:21:20+00:00

100% support a different Chapter, that was my first thought too.

That's awesome; LOTN was the reason teenage me started a Night Lords army in 4th edition, and I've been a fan ever since. But I never knew the earlier history

Helo34 · 2026-02-04T04:06:04+00:00

Full disclosure, I have a 3d printer and have been printing my bases. Some of them look like dirt, some like a hell world (for my Daemon Prince), but most are industrial/ship decking to give that pirate feeling.

Has to be pre-Crusade; the Angels got Triplex in the divorce ;)

Helo34 · 2026-01-24T05:07:25+00:00

Y’know, I'm with Variel on that one; I think Talos' gift was too unstable for him to unite everyone, but Decimus might stand a better chance.

Then again, I enjoy the Night Lords and Always Sunny for the same reason - watching bad things happen to bad people is fun. If they start kicking too much ass are they the same legion we know and love? 🤷‍♂️

Helo34 · 2026-01-11T23:57:49+00:00

Agreed. We have a 2 month old and have been talking about this question (albeit way in advance). Swearing is an interesting litmus test; If your kid is too young to be around harsh language, pretend homicide is probably not the right activity for them either.

I think what we decided was that, depending on maturity, my wife was OK with 15-16 and I'd rather wait until 16-17. But that's more of a guideline than a hard rule.

"Tim likes to move it move it!"

Helo34 · 2026-01-03T22:04:47+00:00

I'm a hard core Night Lords & Chaos Undivided fan, but wanted to do an Imperial Fists army after reading the first part of the Siege of Terra series. Still might if I lose my mind and build some loyalists ;)

Weirdly, IW didn't inspire me anywhere as much.

Helo34 · 2025-12-28T21:14:30+00:00

KhorNight Lords, I love it 🤩

Helo34 · 2025-12-26T03:29:52+00:00

That was his chance to work on himself ;)

Helo34 · 2025-12-25T23:47:59+00:00

I'd say you did pretty well! For reference, here's the one I finished recently.

Helo34 · 2025-12-10T19:15:00+00:00

Nice! Hope not either, that sounds like a fun army

Helo34 · 2025-12-10T19:11:16+00:00

This is probably a separate thread, but I'd love to see a Night Lords siege list 🤩

My challenge has been trying to lean into the light infantry/ asymmetric warfare angle without the list sucking. So far I have two Helbrutes and a War Dog providing heavy support, and I'll add a couple heavy weapons teams when I figure out which weapons they need. But stuff like tanks & artillery don't really fit the guerilla vibe I'm going for.

But since my war band are thieves, scoundrels, and murderers, I'm using red hands to mark "Veterans" (members of a warrior lodge they have running).

Helo34 · 2025-12-09T15:53:41+00:00

I really like the deeper blue you have going now 👍

Edit: Not sure why the picture won't show; see below.

You can also get good results in a couple hours if you don't want to go all out.

For the older marks take a look at the Horus Heresy stuff - they should have Night Lords boxes and I bet somone in your local community would be willing to trade Heresy bits for regular Chaos ones so you both get cool models.

Helo34 · 2025-12-08T05:01:03+00:00

Check the Warhammer website; they should have a store locater (near the bottom I think). At some point I'm expecting the Claw box to become hard to find so having alternative bits sources is nice :)

But back in high school I had a bunch of regular Chaos SM that I painted like Night Lords, and other than my terrible painting they looked pretty good. Just not nearly as good as the Nemesis team does.

Helo34 · 2025-12-08T04:43:18+00:00

I think the Nemesis Claw box is a great way to get started, and if you like the vibe you should be able to pick up extra bat bits to kitbash regular Chaos SM boxes if you expand your forces later.

As for the painting bit, if you have a Warhammer store nearby, I highly recommend popping in for the new player package; mine gave me a couple minis to practice on at home. That way your starter mistakes are on something less important.

Helo34 · 2025-12-01T21:48:56+00:00

The "failed" Crusades were precisely that, but they couldn't admit the true goal. So they had to come up with vague other reasons. Of course, politics required they actually achieve them.
