Angron didn't hate his own legion. He hated everything. He hated himself. He hated the Emperor. He hated that he still lived. But he didn't hate his own legion. He was just too far gone to build a relationship with them.

YEAS!!!!! Only took me 3 years to finish all 3 audioboiks, I listen to them on airplanes and I fall asleep, and as second language, English is still tricky sometimes, specially on audio books. This video confirmed what I understood and made it all coherent. Fucking bad ass! We need a Soul Hunter model!!! GRACIAS!!!

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Angron hated his own legion tho. Wicked vid. The Night Lords trilogy is top tier Black Library. The short stories too. Throne of Lies was particularly good, excellent ending. Cheers fella. Great work

There's a reason why most precog psykers and fortunetellers are insane, walking tragedies, martyrs of lost causes, or all 3. The 40K galaxy just can't have nice things.

Yes after reading the Night Lords omnibus i started to collect and build night lord's legion and specially First Claw.

It made me like a marine faction for once. I now have a Nightlord force these books are really good they make a such cause to get behind.

Leaving out that blood angels relic to draw out neophytes is funny....the war band guy that got shot in the ass was funny to. Talos breaks into a screaming break dance during visions doesn't help his war band...having to carry him back. My favorite nightlord is Gendor strivok... He's funny af.

[@spicy6035]

He thinks his legion is the only one where their primarch hated them? When I think of a father hating his sons it will ALWAYS be Angron over the Night Haunter!

[@khorneberzerk6141]

I think that angron due to the intervention of kharn came to begrudgingly respect his sons at least a little bit. The night haunter never did such things. But I do agree that saying that Conrad kurze was the only primarch to hate his legion is just false

[@wahlberliner]

Yes. But we do not need the love of our "father" anymore. Khorne guides us now. His rage, honour and battle competence boils in our nails. Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne! Away with father that which we abhore, as they abhored us! Loathed be ye, fathers, that loathed us! Into the honest battle fray we rush, blood dripping from our Chainaxes, the blood tithe yet to be reaped!

I really hope we're going to see a book (or a serie of books) following Void Stalker someday. I really enjoyed these books and the story of the first claw, this was brilliant and I quite like the Night Lords now because of these. Aaron Dembski Bowden is an excellent author, I also really enjoyed his "Spear of the emperor", a great read.

[@DarkApostleV]

It is better by far to be an object of fear than of respect, for one is a truth of the soul and the other an illusion of the mind.

So when I first met an ex of mine she found out I liked 40k and she asked me if it was like Star Wars. After a few seconds I replied "Yeah, similar. But if it was hip hop then Star Wars would be Will Smith and 40k is Wu-Tang.

If you can snipe the head clean off an unhelmeted astartes with a Barrett .50 cal, somehow they don't seem so scary to me.

"If" is the key word. Space marine resilience, bone strength, healing, and augmetics are a mighty combo. Also, most humans (in both fiction and IRL) will never so much as see a .50 gun, much less have one handy.

[@jakerubino3233]

As far as the heretical traitor legions go, I’ve been of the mind that purging flame is almost to good, but I can admit that the Night Lords unique journey does have some grudging acknowledgment of neutral feelings from me (never openly - IXth 🩸from beginning to end) mainly due to the black humour, nihilism and dry sarcasm present in the few charismatic personalities they’ve spawned. The problem is they’re actually ignorant and precious school girls with their modus operandi though- the galaxy hates us boo hoo……. It’s a bigger club than they think when there’s the Iron Warriors in that galaxy 😂 not to mention outcasts like the White Scars that get some heat too. That said, at best they just should be immolated last.

[@black_grey_white9813]

[@theezekarion164]

Angron hated his legion also right?

[@richardthomas9497]

Angron kind of hated everyone that was not his gladiator brothers and sisters. Mostly seeing his Legion as a poor replacement for them.

[@racspartan1]

👍

[@andrewwightman8066]

I don't think it's possible to put into the written word just how well and truly fucked u would be if the Nightlords were on ur tale there is nowhere u could run there is nowhere u could hide all u could hope for would be a swift death but then again the Nightlords aren't known for their mercy in delivering a quick death.

[@Taydutt13]

I dont care for the night lords really. Im commenting for algorithm. I personally feel the night lords were way more interesting when they were loyalist. Its a shame Konrad resigned himself to his fate.

[@khylerbane4523]

If I ever have children I’m naming them Talosar if it’s a boy, and Talosa if it’s a girl, with the nickname being Talos. And yes, it’s because of Talos Valcorin. Also if *I* have children their names are going to something you remember.

The Night Lord's are truly the worst, cringiest legion. Makes one wonder what the two censured legions did that was so bad seeing as how the NL's aren't censured.

[@kleomenis456]

LOL

[@rose.i]

That quote at the beginning sums up the night lords really well! I don't understand why some people like them. They're easily the most pathetic of all the legions. Conrad is sort of an interesting character. If you're into the fact that he's a fatalistic, broken, spiteful, being who's more of a creature than a man and ended up being the only primarch to take the cowards way out. Otherwise I don't really get the appeal.

[@myonlyfriendtheend4958]

That's what makes them fun Legit in void Stalker one of the characters is fighting an imperial champ who talks about how much he car3d about his dead brothers and the night lord says he knows how they'd run away if they could It was great

[@Sealdeam]

Same, I fail to see the appeal at all, I guess aesthetics and in general not being just another Chaos pawn goes a long way, I think the only thing I enjoy with them involved is when they find themselves in the same situation they make countless billions suffer like when one of their warbands was hunted by a White Scars company or when they were ambushed by the Carcharadons while they were raiding a prison.

[@Cmdtheartist]

I super don't like the Night Lord's. The most they'll ever be is a plot device to make a reserved good guy snap and then he'll wipe them out and then he'll take a moment, learn from it and then Guilliman will go back to his office and do the requisite paperwork.
