The Traitor Legions of Heretic Astartes have been corrupted into savage and malevolent beings by their time exiled in the warp, but few have fallen as far as the Night Lords. Their appetite for cruelty knows no bounds, and their unchecked mastery of fear makes them some of the most effective terror troops in the galaxy.
Now, it’s your turn to wield their wicked blades on the fields of Kill Team.
Even amongst their vicious and sadistic brothers, the Night Lords that make up the kill teams known as Nemesis Claws are brutal, unhinged murderers who commit the darkest atrocities for fun, draping themselves in the flayed skins of their victims and eking out every drop of fear and pain from those unfortunate enough to face them.
This dedication to the arts of terror and ambush makes them shockingly effective special operatives – few opponents can remain focused on the mission at hand while the screams of the dying echo across the vox net. Though they are valuable terror weapons, no warlord would truly trust the monsters that make up a Nemesis Claw – most are simply unleashed upon a world’s defenders and left to their own devices, as they seek out vital targets on which to slake their unholy appetites.
Despite their insatiable bloodlust, these are not roaring Berzerkers – the Night Lords are one with the shadows they inhabit, and prize stealth just as much as savagery. Their faction ability, In Midnight Clad, obscures them from enemy fire while lurking around terrain, only to burst from concealment in a whirlwind of blood and blades.
These twisted killers have a clear predilection for close combat, sporting weapons designed for bloody carnage – lightning claws, Nostraman chainglaives, and lethal poisoned blades. Even those who opt for ranged weapons like plasma guns and missile launchers find ways to festoon them in hooks, blades, and barbs.
The kit itself uses the phenomenal Chaos Space Marines as a base and adds an extra-large upgrade sprue full of macabre tchotchkes, from draped skins and trophies to winged helmets and flensing blades.
You’ll also find new wargear for building unique Nemesis Claws operatives – like the Ventrilokar icon bearer, who carries a sorcerous totem built from the ruined corpse of a murdered Space Marine. His puppet’s corrupted omophagea can mimic the voices of anyone whose flesh it consumes – a truly unnerving party trick.
After all of that, we wouldn’t blame you for escaping back to the rest of today’s reveals. Hit the button below and you’ll soon be safely surrounded by friendlier sorts, like Necrons, Dark Angels, and Palanite Enforcers.
For now…
