Thus, Casadastraphobia is 'a fear of falling toward the stars,' which is interpreted in this sense to mean, more broadly, a fear of falling toward the sky. But '-astra-' is not a etymological mistake, as many people report that their casadastraphobia is worse while they are viewing a night sky.

Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained.
But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes.
Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!' –'I am the thing that keeps you up at night.

And look how that turned out. ' – Talos ValcoranThe Night Lords Legion consists of some of the more batshit(HA!)-crazy emos, kind of like the Chaos version of the. Also notable for having a strong vampire motif and playing too much Mortal Kombat; they're scary creatures that live in the dark but scorn the, much like the.
Their backstory is surprisingly compelling and deep, but they are nevertheless bitter, brutal, terrifying assholes whose battle cries include 'We have come for you!' Or 'Ave Dominus Nox' (translated as 'Hail the Lord of the Night').Think of them as a hybrid of Raven Guard and Blood Angels.
Yes, they sneaky beaky, but they also jump assault to rip faces off. Masters of AmbushTheir Primarch called himself the Night Haunter (his IRL name was ). When abducted the infant, they were scattered across the galaxy. Poor lil Konrad ended up on Nostramo, a world of perpetual darkness. And unlike the other Primarchs who were found by the inhabitants of a planet and taken care of, Konrad was left all alone to fend for himself,. But who's to say it would've been better? So then he grew up, he became like the Batman of the 31st millennium, where he punished the corrupt and the evil.
Only the difference from Batman is that he did it in the most gruesome manner possible, such as by hanging the guilty person's disemboweled corpse for all to see or beating the person to literally an unrecognizable pulp, to the point the sewers were clogged with bodies. So yeah, he became such a popular icon that the people of Nostramo basically fixed their shitty society because they feared that the 'Night Haunter' would screw their asses to unimaginable levels, thus making him Vlad the Impaler IN SPESS!!!
It says something about his world that, even as Vlad the Impaler, he was still clearly quite the good guy.Curze tried to be a good leader for his people, but there was one thing he was just unable to do: delegate. So when came rolling by and took him along for, it didn't take long for Nostramo to fall back into crime, anarchy and the like. With the scary thing in the night gone kicking ass AnywhereButHere, it suddenly wasn't scary anymore. Insult to injury, Nostramo provided most aspirants for the Night Lords, and soon only those that thrived in such a lawless environment ascended to become Space Marines. With all the complications one could imagine. Despite the psycho-indoctrination, many Night Lords were serial-killers and sociopaths, hiding their bloodlust beneath a thin veneer of loyalty to the Crusade, and this rot slowly but surely spread to the Legion as a whole.They also have an unhealthy addiction to flying and lightning. Known for scaring the hell out of civilians for shits and giggles.
They are also known for being insanely giant fucking nutheads. Wherever the Night Lords strike, they leave corpses and signs of their assault on display and generally make it look like all the Segmentum's worst metal bands had a gig in the exact same area at the exact same time.Despite being 'traitors' they claim not to be terribly fond of the Chaos Gods and make little to no use of daemons, so they're more of a renegade legion than an unclean one. Which makes them less likely to (accidentally) become possessed. It won't matter though, because they are fucking insane anyway, not only because of their combat doctrines, but also because they have been around for a very long time.Notable exceptions include Krieg Acerbus, a currently leading the largest warband of Night Lords, who also happen to be hardcore, full-on batshit chaos worshippers.
There's also the first claw's Uzas, who's all about blood for the. In fact, earlier incarnations of the background listed them as a Khornate Legion, and Khorne smiles upon those who murder for the sake of murder, even one's allies, which Night Lords do whenever they can. However, because they're in denial about their religion, they neither get the goodies of the Chaos Gods, nor the technology of the. So whenever loyalists show up with assault cannons, stormbolters, cyclone missile launchers, land speeders, drop-pods, and hunter killer missiles they silently cry in the night. Or take it out on them by kicking the shit out of the local chapter of.Tactics Night Lord warbands, for the most part, are somewhat sensible in that they don't just send in their marines to die in droves. So they generally don't titty-rush the nearest Titan for the lulz unless said Titan is REALLY fucking their mojo up. When they do engage in direct combat, they generally prefer complete overwhelming force to ensure minimal losses, maximum carnage, and enough skulls to stick on their pauldrons.
So they're pretty much a chaos version of. Including the too, obviously (maybe?).Considering what fluff says about them, it seems likely the Night Lords Legion conquered worlds during the Great Crusade by rarely waging actual war.
They probably did it the Night Haunter way. Show up, declare Lex Imperialis, and punish violation of the Emperor's law by using stealth and terror. They can get anywhere, be anywhere, and they're always watching you. They don't have to fight you as you are just that horribly outmatched. In cases of legitimate military threats, WMDs, phosphex, rad weapons, and other nasty things can be gleefully used.Or just take pieces from their leader's little girl. Without kidnapping her.
From her bedroom. Over and over and ruining any attempt to move her (or take bits even after she's in their most secure location). You see, that is far more terrifying than kidnapping her and sending pieces back.
Especially preceding each taking with 'We have come for you'.ALTERNATIVELY:They make use of their sneakiness and fuck shit up that way. Striking behind enemy lines, ambushes, sabotaging generators and command centers, etc. Knowing this, one considers them being pretty sensible. In one-on-one combat a Night Lord will do his best to make sure he has the upper hand, and thus resort to cheat tactics by breaking every rule possible and use every dirty trick to avoid being 'on equal footing' with the opponent. Just like.They like unconventional shock-and-awe tactics (read: Terror with a capital T).
One of them, Talos, disabled a ship's bridge by doing a fifteen-second-long vox-amplified scream, which, thanks to his three lungs and super-humanly strong vocal chords, blew out every unprotected eardrum in the room and put many of the bridge staff in a coma. Another method was to kill a planet's population from fright when they broadcasted a horrible snuff movie over the comm waves.
More methods include impaling innocents in hard-to-reach areas and spamming the local Internet (or whatever passes for it) with video broadcasts made of extremely scary jumpscares, torture footage and sounds, sort of a superhuman Los Zetas/ISIS/Internet Troll hybrid on crack.If they can't use fear as a tactic, they will always resort to trying to break morale by sabotaging objectives of strategic import or executing leaders and commanders.BUT:This isn't to say that their tactics make them unstoppable. Terror-tactics only work well on people who can be scared, meaning that their preferred operations tend not to work well on other, or any sort of, meaning that are one of their favorite targets. If anything, their big saving grace is they're competent enough to leg it when a fight isn't winnable.Especially noteworthy is that the last time they really had to fight face-to-face, mano-a-mano, was right after the Heresy, when the came looking for them on their fortress world of Tsagualsa. The Night Lords got slaughtered. Now, to be fair, by that time it was a while since they replenished their numbers after the Heresy.
Additionally, in their stupidity, they chose to 'bunker down' instead of using their typical hit-and-run tactics. Not to mention the fact that many warbands were not present, the Legion having started to split up after the death of Konrad and Sevatar. Also, the character recounting this, when challenged by another about 'losing to the Ultramarines', points out that it wasn't JUST the Ultramarines chapter, but every successor chapter as well. He comments on working side-by-side by, while being supported by flanking maneuvers. He comments on how every single chapter involved was running by the same playbook (The ), in perfect unison, and pretty much without any dissension or rebellion (unlike the Night Lords). The result was that the Night Lords were pinned down, outflanked, bombarded, assaulted (or counter-assaulted), besieged and simply fucked over in every way in a textbook fashion. The Night Lords lost so badly that they fragmented, and were never united as a whole force ever again (although there were signs of a semi-reunification in the period leading up to the ).
And before you cry some 'Wardian bullshit', this was in the Night Lords own book, written by (actually it was Games-Workshop's fluff that limited the Night Lords.). Besides, against a legion fighting in co-ordination, it was a given who would win, not bullshit.
Notice the Codex Astartes clearly works well.when working with at least a thousand Marines or multiple Chapters together (as opposed to individual companies.something Astartes are largely too stupid to realize, apparently).Bear in mind that upon returning to this fortress planet, the Night Lords proceeded to get revenge on the Ultramarine Genesis Chapter, defeating them with the time-honored strategy of. Why fight fair when you have nukes?worked out the best way to use the Night Lords: as an advance force for performing a crippling first strike on the enemy. When he assaulted the in their home base, he asked for a detachment of Night Lords to find a way to let his main force into the Marines-Errant fortress. So a squad of Night Lords scaled into the and drew off the Marines-Errant and their serfs while a squad of Night Lords Raptors went higher up the fortress and destroyed the actual shield generators.So you offer them something they want, tell them what to fuck up, let them work out the details on their own and do their thing and, as Huron found out, don't expect them to help much in the actual fighting afterward (which to be fair Huron neither expected nor wanted) nor should you while you're busy (now that dit piss Huron off!
