Well thank you brother. As for the nature of my taste well...sanity never was is or will be a recruiting requirement for our dear legion...
That is oh so true. Well, we are bat-shit (hehe but dat pun doe) insane, like a proud Night Lord. Ave Dominus Nox!
Oh man, I have an entire collection of Raptor art! (the good kind, not the new raptors, yuck) Some Raptors are indeed craven and very touched by the Warp. Be it the Raptor god (Games Workshop never really touched on this other than it MIGHT exist as a minor deity) or just the currents of the Immaterium changing them. Some are less so. Zso Sahaal was a Raptor, and he walked on two legs. That doesn't say much though, because when he wasn't walking and was hunting, he was perched and attached to walls like a bat or a bird of prey, utilizing his talon'd feet. That's what I love about Raptors so much. That they're so beast like, yet can retain the humanity part, well some of them. The finer ones. Damn, I'll be really upset if we don't get the oldschool Raptor look. I apologize if I'm on repeat, and sound craven myself - Raptors and Night Lords are what drew me into Warhammer.
I've read a lot of fluff books but when I got to the night lords I really got hooked, never played the table tops till recently proud to say I am the owner of a massive night lords force!
Ugghh the pressure!! I'll be dumping my Raptor sketches that i have laying around... But i'll do that tomorrow, for even us batmen need to sleep.
Just use the transport decoy trick on roads, it was something I pulled off all the time in Battlefield, which will work even better in EC with meltabombs. 1) Get a Rhino. 2) Park Rhino, abandon it on a road, blocking transit. If you have explosives, mine it. 3) Get out of Rhino, hide with your buddies either in a ditch or behind elevated terrain. 4a) Enemy vehicle kicks out either one or two people with instructions to ensure it isn't booby trapped. If you have explosives, detonate them and use the rhino as a bomb to kill the enemy scouts, then have the rest of your friends shoot the tank to pieces with a rocket volley. 4b) Enemy armor blows up the rhino/transport, leaves and you're out of luck. 4c) Enemy armor blows up rhino, then charges ahead thinking either the crew died somewhere else or is cautious and aggressively scouts the area. Either run or quickly place explosives and kill the tank. 4d) Mentally retarded tank crew completely abandons their tank to inspect transport, take the tank, then shoot them. Or shoot them and take the tank. Or destroy if it you can't pilot enemy vehicles.
