The Night Lords 3rd ed. hibernators
Note: Revised list in post #8.
Hello everyone, I'm interested in picking up the hobby again after 5 years or so and there's a 1750 pts tournament coming up in town in about a month. I have around 2000 pts worth of models in total but I seem to be having problems putting together a well-balanced army above 1500 pts or so. They're all painted as Night Lords (because they're cool!) but I always played them as generic CSM back with the 3.5 ed Codex as well so that's nothing new to me.
Here's the best list I've come up with so far, it's almost WYSIWYG, but I don't think the tournament has strict requirements for it. Only difference is the two power fists which aren't visible on the models, and two models with plasma pistols that I don't count.
HQ
Chaos Lord: 145 pts
- Terminator Armour
- Lightning Claw
- Combi-melta
- Mark of Khorne
Chaos Sorcerer: 125 pts
- Mark of Slaanesh
- Lash of Submission
TROOPS
10 Khorne Berzerkers: 250 pts
- Skull Champion
- Power Weapon
- Meltabombs
- Personal Icon
- (ride in Land Raider)
10 Chaos Space Marines: 205 pts
- Aspiring Champion
- Power Weapon
- IoCG
- Missile Launcher
- Flamer
9 Chaos Space Marines: 230 pts
- Aspiring Champion
- Power Fist
- IoCG
- Meltagun
- Rhino (ride with the Sorcerer)
FAST ATTACK
5 Chaos Bikers: 255 pts
- Biker Champion
- Power Fist
- Icon of Nurgle
HEAVY SUPPORT
Chaos Land Raider: 235 pts
- Extra Armour
2 Obliterators: 150 pts
5 Chaos Havocs: 155 pts
- IoCG
- Lascannon
- Lascannon
Army Total: 1750 pts
---
Tactics would be to guard objective with 10 man CSM squad (have weapons against all kinds of enemies), Havocs in the back and Oblitzs somewhere smart. Tie up big gun infantry with bikes, hit them where it hurts with the Raider/Zerkers and drive the Rhino with the CSMs and Sorc to objective. Deep Strike the Lord where he's needed.
Is that sane?
Some notes:
I only have one Rhino (durr!)
My only leftovers in my painted force is about 10 Chaos Marines (1 heavy bolter, 2 plasma guns), 3 Berzerkers (2 plasma pistols, 1 on Juggernaut) and a Terminator.
I will probably not paint any more models before the tournament but if I do I have these lying around:
Feedback is very appreciated!

I will probably not paint any more models before the tournament but if I do I have these lying around:
- Defiler
- Abaddon
- 6-7 Terminators
- 5 Raptors
- 8 CSM (box with the "new" design)
