If you loved last week’s huge Thramas excerpt, this follow-up is a quick bite. However, it still turns the knife in.

The Night Lords spent three years terrorizing the Eastern Fringe. So this week zooms in on their specific contributions to that war. And yes, they remain awful, yet weirdly fun to cheer for.

Why the Black Books Still Matter

The Black Books are early, foundational Horus Heresy lore bibles. Meanwhile, they sit alongside the Black Library novels as primary background sources. They break Legions down in obsessive detail, from campaigns to culture. Therefore, they are perfect for spotlight series like this one. And because we’re on Night Lords duty, Thramas is the ideal proving ground.

What This Week’s Download Covers

This download pulls material from 2020’s Book Nine: Crusade. Instead of retelling the whole crusade, it focuses on what the Nostramans did between set-piece clashes. They are still harassing the Dark Angels across the Eastern Fringe. Additionally, the tone implies the Night Lords might be even worse than you remembered. So consider this your reminder that terror is their core doctrine.

Summary

In short, this Warhammer Community download is a lighter dip, but not a softer one. However, it adds sharper context to how the Night Lords operated at Thramas. Soon, the series will pivot to other Legions and battles. Still, we get one last Night Lords extract next week, counting the worlds they ruined. So if you want a clean villain roster for your campaign notes, keep watching.
