Night Lords Tournament List - 2000pts

Since I will not be able to attend the Knightfall Games Annual Food Drive tournament (due to the fact that I work every other Saturday, and both this one and the toy drive are on weekends I work), I thought I would post a few tournament lists that I would of liked very much to play for the tournament. This is my second. You can find my Imperial Guard list here.

This list is one of the ways I enjoy playing Chaos. While I traded this army out for more imperial guard, a good friend of mine now owns it and can play it. It is a great light armor breaker, that is tough on charging units. Lash is great to pull the enemy hard into rapid fire plasma, or into a greater daemon or Prince. The three troops choices are meched up as a light firing bunker, and to provide ruins and wreckage to keep them alive. Every unit has Chaos Glory, so you are looking at a ton of Chaos Marines with a leadership of 10 and a re-roll. They arent going anywhere.

Use infiltration to your advantage with the chosen, deploying into cover or just responding to your opponents set up. These make excellent bunkers. Dont rush the board unless going to get objectives. Instead pull them into you. The Daemon Princes are not meant to be a close combat asset, instead a tactical unit that lashes other units into plasma or other deadly locations, or simply pushing people off of objectives (and they are good to eat any offending units that get too close).
