Trying to build a Night Lords “Atramentar Siege Force” - need advice on a thematic 2000pts list

Hey everyone,

I’m pretty new to Warhammer and still learning the game/list building side, so I’d really appreciate some feedback on this 2000pts idea.

I absolutely love the Night Lords lore and aesthetic, but gameplay-wise I wanted something a bit more elite and durable, with a style closer to Iron Warriors: heavy armor, siege vibes, tanks and Terminators. So I ended up going for a sort of “Atramentar siege force” theme using the Fellhammer Siege Host detachment.

Current list idea:

Characters

  • 1x Warpsmith
  • 1x Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour (using the HH Night Lords Praetor in Tartaros armour as a proxy)

Battleline

  • 10x Legionaries
  • 10x Legionaries
  • 5x Legionaries

Transports

  • 2x Rhinos

Other

  • 2x Predator Annihilators
  • 1x Predator Destructor
  • 5x Chaos Terminators
  • 10x Chaos Terminators (using HH Tartaros Terminators as proxies)
  • 2x Obliterators
  • 5x Warp Talons

Main questions:

  • Does this kind of Night Lords / Iron Warriors hybrid concept make sense gameplay-wise?
  • Are the Tartaros Terminator proxies generally acceptable for regular 40k games/events?
  • Would you change anything to make the list more effective while keeping the “elite siege + Atramentar” theme?

I’m mostly aiming for something thematic first, but I’d still like the army to function reasonably well on the table.

Thanks!
