The canonically accurate way to play Nightlords is to set up your pieces, watch your opponent to set up their pieces, then, upon realizing you’re not guaranteed victory, retreat from the field of battle without ever firing a shot

FUN BIT OF TRIVIA! So, Konrad Curze - interesting name right? I'm pretty sure it's a reference (Much like Fyodor Karamazov is a reference to Fyodor Dostoievsky's book "The Brother's Karamazov"), specifically to Colonel Kurtz from the movie Apocalypse Now, which is based on the book "Heart of Darkness" Written by Joseph Conrad - hence Konrad Curze. They even got cheeky and swapped the K and C around so we have Joseph Conrad/ Col. Kurze versus Konrad Curze. Sneaky authorses... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! In Lore, Konrad Kurze is killed by an assassin named M'shen. In the movie Apocalypse Now, Colonel Kurtz is a rogue US Colonel who is ordered to be tracked down and killed by a US Army Intelligence Officer named Benjamin Willard. When Willard finds Colonel Kurtz, he is offered no resistance as the Colonel has been *mentally broken from his long and savage war and in-fact asks for Captain Willard to take his life." AND WE'RE STILL NOT DONE. GUESS WHAT ELSE?! The Actor who played Benjamin Willard? HIS NAME WAS MARTIN SHEEN. Colonel Kurtz and Martin Sheen? Konrad Curze and M'Shen? Yeah! Fuckin clever. I'll also be the first to admit that I didn't know all of this myself, but instead My Mother drew the connection after a conversation between my brother and her about the Nightlords and Konrad Curze.

Calm down edge lords. Terror has a useful military application, but it requires a far more careful analysis to know where and how it should be applied. In Konrad's case, he just went wild with it without considering the circumstances he is in, and how his harshness is quite unnecessary by how he applied it without much restraint that leads to his insanity, and the fall of his legion to immorality due to the fact that they become so jaded, and desensitized into liking what they are doing instead of just treating such action, or methods with absolute professionalism.

Konrad Curze is my favorite primarch. I know your videos are primers instead of deep dives, but you could easily spend hours discussing his lore. And the Night Lord characters like Sevatar and Talos are paradoxically some of the “noblest” in the setting. I can picture Curze the Night Lords, at least at the start, as someone who reads Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and decides to take the “ends justifies the means” and it’s better to be feared than loved” to their logical conclusions. Fantastic legion, and they would be my favorite if I didn’t love the knightly aesthetic of the Dark Angels more.

I also like his limited interactions with Corax/The Raven Guard. Admittedly, I'm biased. But Kurze notes how similar they are, and Corvus wonders to himself if he would have turned out like curze if he'd landed on nostromo. I also think it's interesting how their powers would have been arguably more useful on each others planets. As Corax being able to hide would have majorly helped someone survive nostomo, and Kurze having foresight could have aided the rebellion on Deliverance.

As a diehard night lord fan this has to be my favorite description of them. Great job Authur. I first found out about them through index astartes pdfs I downloaded back in the late 2000s when I first got into 40k. Found the first book of the night lords trilogy at the local Barnes & Nobles shortly there after and have been a diehard ever since. Finally jumped into the Horus Heresy game when the black book about the Thramus Crusade was released. Lore in the back is shit, but I don't care it got me the courage to start buying stuff from forgeworld before the prices got too insane. Still happy that I got my Sevatar and Curze models, in addition to a raptor squad and three Contemptor dreadnaughts. Currently building and painting my legion force. I have 2000 points assembled that I'm painting. I'm saving sevatar and Curze to paint last. I want my technique to be perfect before I start work on two of my favorite characters from all of warhammer.

One of the boons of the VIII Legion not bending the knee to Chaos is that their geneseed is still completely usable. Night Lord's that are kicking around the Imperium are not the same ones from 30K like the other traitor legions, but are pure blooded Night Lord's, not half breeds like Honsuo of the IV for example. Also fun fact, due to their geneseed and recruiting from night worlds and or very dark places like underhive prisons, where the recruits have genetically adapted to the dark, they have the best night vision amongst all the Astartes. It's so good that sunny/bright conditions are near unbearable to them without their helmets on.

Konrad's big problem is that whenever he saw the possibility of a good or bad outcome with his visions, he always focused on the bad. What, that dude may help me or kill me in the future?

Back to the point Curze making the worlds compliant with minimal bloodshed and Guilliman making the lives of the people better, they could indeed be the ultimate buddy cop duo.

The space terrorist vampires who do all the things that make 40k grim dark. I’d love a game where you get a warband and build it up. I’d definitely use nightlords and just focus human only targets. You could break their moral and gun down the fleeing troops with a flanking maneuver. Take equipment from battles like Mount and Blade. Send agents to do the background tactics that Night-lords excel at. Imagine the notification that your scouts skinned an entire garrison on a outpost station or assassinated the planet’s governor

What people don't consider, and is a huge barrier to enjoying the Night Lords, is Konrad knew everything he was made to do, and what needed to be done to complete that task. He hated his legion, not just because they were criminals, but because he knew what they would need to do. If you wanted to theorize, you could say he probably knew Nostramo needed to be what it was so criminals would be recruited. Which made him follow a form of rule that would result in that. Why would he then become upset when it happened if he knew it would? Because he wanted to believe it wouldn't but, when it did, knew what was to follow.

Interestingly, the Night Lords strategy (Curze’s strategy) is in reality a very bad strategy. Namely, that any crime is punished with death. Or, more generally, using fear to force compliance. Several rulers in reality tried this strategy. What happens is that people soon realize that if any crime is punished by torture and death, then any criminal, however minor, may as well “go big”. One Chinese emperor was deposed because several regiments of troops were late to the rally point, and realizing they’d be killed, decide to revolt. In other words, if you are going to be killed anyway, you may as well fight.
