When I read this legion I was enjoying the Flavour text. However the
actual rules set behind them troubles me.

The flavour text describes them as "masters of stealth, able to
infiltrate a position quickly and silently", they do not gain any
special access to infiltrating units over any other legion.

This fact pales into insignifigance compared to the fact they get a
bonus 2 vps for wiping out units without any negative to balance it out.

Compare this to the Tyranids which get double VPs but can't earn pts
for holding objectives.

I am not suggesting that the Night Lords bonus is anything like the
Tyranids however it far surpasses any other army especially as the
Night lords have far greater mobility than the Tyranids.

They have cheap landspeeders, as well as they have access to quicker
transports being Marines (Rhinos ,Drop pods etc), that mean they can
hold many objectives quickly and also target vulnerable units.

Perhaps a negative that uses their ruthlessness against them i.e.
saying that they must target a broken unit if closer to them.

I just think that having an army that gains extra vps on the others
for probably doing what a lot of players will try and do to units
anyway is a bit odd.
