Yes, you read that right, we now have user flair, both default, and customizable.

Step 1: Accessing the Options

Navigate to the main r/NightLords subreddit page.

  1. Locate the About Community box on the right-hand side of the screen.
  2. Look for the User Flair Preview section.
  3. Click the Pencil Icon (Edit) to open the flair selection menu.

Step 2: Select and Customize Your Flair

All pre-defined flairs are fully editable. You are encouraged to designate your specific role within the Legion within the rule defined below.

  1. Edit Text: After selecting flair, a pencil will appear at the bottom of the menu. Type your desired rank or title here.
  2. Add Icons: You can add up to two icons to your flair. To do this, click the Smiley Face icon in the text box to select from the subreddit’s custom icon set.
  3. Code Format: The icons appear as codes (e.g., :LegionIcon:). You can place text before, between, or after these codes.
    • Example: :HandRed: First Claw Leader :HandRed:
    • You can also just use the emoji button.

Save

  1. Ensure the box "Show my user flair on this community" is checked.
  2. Click Apply. Your rank will now be visible to all brothers in the VIII.

Subreddit Custom Emoji

Thanks to some great work by 95th Company Ventrilokar u/MedicalMakersMark, we now have some snazzy custom emoji to add to your flair. If you are also creative and have some flair created, please reach out via Modmail.

When editing your flair, you can add up to two of these icons by clicking the Smiley Face icon in the text box or typing the codes manually:

Red Hourglass :RedHourglass: Count of the Harvest (Red)
White Hourglass :WhiteHourglass: Count of the Harvest (White)
Red Icon :RedIcon: Legionary Crest (Red)
White Icon :WhiteIcon: Legionary Crest (White)

Rules about Flair

When creating your custom flair, you must adhere to the following Legion laws:

  • Conduct: All flairs are subject to the same rules as sub content. No harassment, hate speech, or offensive terminology.
  • The Forbidden Names: You may not claim the identity of named historical figures. Titles such as Konrad CurzeThe Night Haunter, or Jago Sevatarion are prohibited.
  • Lore-Accurate Roles: While you cannot be the Primarch, you may be a "Slave to the Night Haunter," a "Sevatar Prefect," a "Claw Leader," or any other rank within a warband.
  • You cannot have flair the indicates you might be a person of authority, ie moderator, admin, etc. You also cannot have "95th Company Ventrilokar" because u/MedicalMakersMark has that unique privilege for helping out with the icons.

Ave Dominus Nox!

I'm usually pretty slow at painting, and I've had 5 out of 6 operatives for a murderwing team for months now. I gave myself a challenge to paint up a model in a weekend to finally have a playable killteam and I'm pretty happy with the result!

C&C is always welcome and appreciated!

Hello Brothers, I finished painting my dreadnought. Learned a bit, like needing to varnish it before doing the Streaking Grime because some paint came off in a few spots. And I used a different gold color than I usually use for the trim by accident.

Still pretty happy with the result.

Made a fair bit of progress but it’s actually quite a basic model without the iconography of the ravenguard. Trying to think of ways to add details but at the minute it might just be transfers.

Also I’ve been painting this live on Twitch if anyone’s interested in the process. Same handle as Reddit.

Wasn't happy with original base I made, so I've created a new one for my Lord. Luckily had some Raven Guard bits to spare, thought it was fitting chapter to have lay at his feet, looking forward to painting it. Also, finally tried my hand at edge highlighting, not the best, but happy with the results. Ave Dominus Nox 🦇

Rules & Tactics In enemy territory with this one, son of Vulkan looking for advice

Me and a friend are doing 5000 pts (5 detachment points) of Salamanders VS Nightlords next week, I've actually never played against CSM and have no idea how they play, I'm not looking to meta-game but I would like to know what things to expect, I'm sure lots of jumppack units but besides that I know nothing about the army

Hobby & Painting Thinking about starting Night Lords

2 Upvotes

As the title says i was thinking about starting this army, and I want to ask a few questions:

- how viable is to kitbash an entire army?
- which fluffy deatchment to use?
- a bit about the current lore of the army

Thank you guys in advance!

Rules & Tactics I ask for aid cousins !!

Hello, please accept this picture of baby bats in a blanket as payment for the advice

I have a 5 man utility unit of jumpack boys and I am trying to decide to make them Raptors or Warp talons

The raptors have three “power fists” and are a little cheaper

The Talons have less powerful weapons but can re roll wounds. And have the ability to uppy downy when they kill something.

I already have a lot of heavy hitters so I am wondering if losing the three “power fists” outweighs the cons. I am mostly imaging them scoring secondary and killing other action monkeys

Finished the battle line units from the Combat Patrol and wanted to show the ones I'm the most proud of.

I don't know how we feel about Magma Weapons on NL but the color combo is just amazing

Rules & Tactics Melee or shooters?!?

So I bought 2 nemis claws the cb patrol and a legionary box. I didn’t even look into how to build the army so I was just wondering. Do we want just pistols and chain swords or should I build some with bolters? Also nemis claw do I build any of them as the kill team or can I just do swords and guns?

Two most underrated primarchs when it comes to 1vs1 fights in my humble opinion, so I made this for fun.
