40K Lore For Newcomers - Who Are... The Night Lords? (Ft. Fredrik Knudsen) - 40K Theories

[@Big_E_Soul_Fragment]

Alternate title: Night Lords | Down the Warp Hole

[@CrapLuckSimon]

Curze would make a perfect Down the Rabbit Hole subject hahaha. "It was at this moment , Curze realized insanity was genetic"

Curze became reunited with his father and brothers. However, this would not last.

"And make them god-tier super soldiers lording over men, because I the emperor of man saw a holovid once about building a strike force out of criminals"

[@TaintedPrinceps]

Konrad Curze was clearly goth.

[@weldonwin]

@@TaintedPrinceps No, Goths dress dark, but also see beauty and grace in the darkness. Konrad was just a misanthropic psychopath, who hated everything and everyone around him and figured that flaying people alive for the smallest transgression was a brilliant idea and then calling the Emperor a tyrant, because Konrad clearly doesn't comprehend the concept of irony

[@TaintedPrinceps]

@@weldonwin Ok so not emo.

[@grayfiresoul]

@@weldonwin Your reductionism of Konrad's character and personality are bordering on asinine, my dude. It wasn't that cut, dry, and simple. Imagine for a second living with constant, uncontrollable precognitive visions of the future that feature despair, pain, horror, murder, torture, conflict and mass death (both yours and others') *exclusively*. Then, imagine those same visions preventing you from sleeping for more than a small handful of hours at a time, after which you wake with skull-splitting headaches. Then finally, during all of your waking hours, not ever knowing which of the visions experienced will come true or not, with a rough 50% success rate. You never know what to believe, you never know how much faith to put into yourself, and you're in constant doubt about your decision making abilities. Primarch or not, that's a recipe for absolute insanity. The fact Konrad was able to keep it together for as long as he did, with glimpses of recovery along the way, is an absolute miracle. Even Angron suffered sooner, with his butcher's nails having completely taken over his personality, before Konrad's own personality completely degenerated.

Sweet a video on the Scary boys. They are one of my favorite Chaos Legions.

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

@@trollzynisaacjohan1793 Now that you mention it, the Night Lords and the BDSM elves have a lot in common, don't they? The most important difference is that flamers work better on the xenos. They're squirrelly.

Customizing a Night Lords Daemon Prince soon. I got the Daemon Prince kit for pretty cheap on eBay and realized there would be a lot of extra bits left over, so I used Oyumaru thermal plastic to mold and duplicate the bits I would need in order to use all the included bits. Originally I had the idea to build/customize 4 Daemon Princes, (Black Legion, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, World Eaters) but I have several pounds of Apoxie Sculpt so I decided to build one for each of the original 9 traitor legions; duplicating bits from other kits and some original molding to ensure each explicitly represents the legion from which they ascended.

Legiones Batmenus, I dig it. Also, I would be wary, if not downright respectfully(but not overly so) fearful of any warrior from a planet named Nostramo. Too eerily similar to Nostromo- Terran colonists come across the bits and pieces of wreckage and find a barely legible plaque reading only USC_S NOSTR_MO. This first settlement isn't heard from after an initial period, except for sporadic messages about how their assigned synthetic science officer had a habit of continually playing the same ominous tune on a damned flute. Many thousands of millennia pass...

[@steweygrrr]

Remleiz is indeed a good boy. Given he has surgically replaced his original skull of with that of what appears in be a saurian, does this mean headpats are a valid way of showing praise and appreciation? There is a chance, albeit miniscule, that the saurian skull came from a Doggosauradon - a rare but incredibly fluffy creature native to the deaths world of Luther McIntyre V. Does this mean that instead of being a good boy, he is instead a _very_ good boy? What do you think? Leave your answers in the comments below.

On one famous occasion recorded in the chronicles, he invited all the elderly, the poor, and the sick of his realm to gather in a splendid wooden banquet hall, where he plied them (a bit suspiciously) with roast meats and fine wine. As the grateful peasants were digesting their repast, Vlad’s soldiers sealed the doors and windows and set the building on fire, incinerating all inside. “I did this so that no one will be poor in my realm,” explained Vlad, an early pioneer of compassionate conservatism.

night lords became the most effective force to bring peace to rebel planets of the imperium with a lot less casualities than all the other legions, in fact, most of these planets when heared the night lords where coming inmedietly surrender. But hey, we are the bad bc we kill and torture people. The Emperor should help us to not let our legion became this, but he liked whow the NL are because we execute his commands with quirurgic precision. We where that the imperium needed, but no one liked.
