Women of the Night Lords author MA7 here, lurking in the comments in the dark, like a bat, watching you. The Night Lords are the funnest chaos marines to write because they just don’t give a f and are just doing things in the most pragmatic way possible and having fun in the process. Sure they might skin the occasional baby, but sometimes you just gotta skin a baby or two if you’re a mentally ill psychotic.

I like the Night Lords for the same reason I like Frank Horrigan. In an era where a lot of popular IPs are obsessed with trying to make sympathetic villains, it's cathartic to see unrepentant war criminals instead. Also, like you said, they don't fight like space marines and, funny enough, despite being the most brutal chapter, they probably killed the least. Instead of warring with entire planets, they scare planets into compliance. In other words, them being evil doesn't unskin your wife and kids.

Definitely a combination of Night Lord battle doctrine, Gendor Skraivok deliberately recruiting kids who have no business becoming Space Marines, and Konrad inability/unwillingness to fix things. If Night Lords were fighting the kind of battles the others legions were doing at the time (massive wars against mighty empires), I feel a lot of those inferior Marines would have been filtered out. You don't need to be superhuman in order to brutalize a bunch of terrified human civvies, but it definitely helps.

I was moved by Talos's conviction, and impressed by both their effectiveness during The Crusade, as well as their underdog status as a traitor legion. For this reason I play them on the tabletop. Edit: The Night Lords Chaos Lord in the Morvenn Vahl book is named Kol Rakul, The Death of Saints. His name in Nostroman likely means Cold and Cruel. It is also worth noting that titles among The Night Lords are either self-imposed, or ironic, so either Kol gave himself the title as he has some history with The Argent Shroud, or he has ran from every battle against The Sororitas lol.

I can say...because they are oddly one of the most human space marine legions. We can thank the trilogy really. It does give us a legion where we have a tragic nature to it. As we can look on Konrad, who just needed a hug. The other legions needed daemons and gods to turn them evil, Night Lords just are. They were practically raised to be so. Yet, they are self-aware of it. They do not lie to themselves of their nature. And again, because of the trilogy, we can see that they are more than this. Be it Talos, Uzas, or even the warsage...there is simply humanity still within them that can be seen through the flayed skin and general horror, they are just large children that want to be loved by their mentally ill father.

I'm not a huge night lords fan per say, but they do interest me. Blood Angels were my first army so there is bias in what i say. But the thing I came to love about the Blood Angels is how they choose to rise above their lesser instincts. To choose to struggle against the temptation to give in, and to win through force of will. The night lords interest me as they feel like an opposite, where they blood angels are optimistic the night lords are pessimistic. How Konrad and Sanguinis viewed their foresight shows is most succinctly. Their contrast is far more interesting to me compared to say the world eaters / angron and the blood angels / Sanguinis.

But then they became the Sons of Horus and turned kinda cringe ... and I don't even know what they think they are doing these days. The point is, they had it, but then they lost it! The Night Lords have remained true to themselves. They are not "stupid evil". Unlike say the Word Bearers, the Night Lords never drank the Kool Aid. They are not high on copium ( or Warp Dust, like the Emperor's Children). Using guerilla tactics when you are fighting a war of attrition against an empire with superior logistics and almost limitless manpower, is not "cowardly", it is just common sense. It is what you do if you want to win ... not to mention survive!

I like them because they were the only legion to both have their primarch hate them and have that feeling be mutual. They were never shown any love, respect, decency, or honor and now they are incapable of showing those things. Nightlords do the shit that chaos likes while also hating chaos. They have no real plans on making things better, they want these huge ideas to come to pass, they are both violent and depraved, but never on behalf of someone else. Nightlords exists purely for nightlords and and really don't care what people say about how underhanded and evil they are. They know exactly what they are and don't bother to lie to themselves about it, and characters like that are decently uncommon in the universe where every single faction has some sob story to justify using lobotomized slave cyborgs as a punch clock

Let me take a crack at it as an outsider. Konrad Curze, from the summary videos I remember addressing him, seems like Batman if the joker's, "We're not so different." motif was right. And now there are a bunch of 'mini' corrupted batmen running around the galaxy doing "hot girl shit".

There is freedom in being an unapologetic monster way before anyone had to pick sides or become a Chaos sell out to be an actual menace.

The Emperor of Mankind really thought that he should make a legion completely dedicated to terrorism. Also wondered why they decided to join Chaos.

I like the skull faces on the helmets, plus terror tactics are both fun and funny, and screw the chaos gods

Heh, ADB made people like Night Lords with his Omnibus) Talos was a baddie but with goals, and every other significant character in this series was nicely presented. I really like second book, when Talos decides to hop on former NL's battleship and Huron and his warband portrayed as absolute chaos degenerates (shit and blood everywhere, fully corrupted navigator). Even Exalted was not a totally chaos depraved demon-monster until the very end

I have a night lord character who got kicked out of the night lords for killing people to fast. He’s an incredibly skilled swordsman who has a gene seed mutation that made him stupidly fast even compared to space marines. He was kicked out because he took an abnormal approach to causing fear. He attempts to cause fear through a sheer efficiency. If he’s done his job right the only thing you’ll know is that something took this guys head off so fast you couldn’t perceive it and that it’s coming for you next.
