doomedllamaguy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Is running Thousand Sons and Alpha Legion in the same list unfluffly? Or is it just one of those "well I guess it works..." kinda things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeratil Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well I hate the arguments these sorts of threads can break down into, but I can't sleep so I'll bite.... :) In a word no, there will always be a reason that 2 warbands/legions will work together, even those that usually don't. You could quite easily have a warband made up of Alpha Legion and Thousands Sons, I would personally centre it around the use of cultists - as they're a unit both legions use frequently - maybe with an apostle/lord and a MoT sorc as HQs - the apostle/lord would be in alpha legion colours. The reason I think cultists would be good is that I'd envisage a warband like this concentrating on infiltrating imperial worlds to foment rebellion and looting the planet for useful artefacts/knowledge once a full revolution against Imperial rule occurs, but that's just one possibility. In general I think Thousand Son sorcerers would work with almost any legion in return for arcane artefacts and knowledge, bringing a squad or two of rubrics with him. Some legions might be less receptive to this (World Eaters come to mind as being unlikely to willingly 'hire' a sorcerer of any stripe) but most would be more than happy, especially if they didn't have access to a sorcerer of their own for whatever reason (you make up).

*Furyou Miko Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Actually, I think a Thousand Sons / Alpha Legion match up has the potential to be really awesome. Especially for smaller warbands - a few Alpha Legion infiltraitors backed up by the ritual magic of the Sorcerers sounds like the kind of thing that could let five Marines seriously topple an entire planet. Not too bad if it comes down to a stand-up fight, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 All is fine. In fact some of the fluff portrays the AL as being Tzeentchian. And the colours match up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What would be other be the general opinion of the legion on the emperor's children and Noise marines? I have been thinking of doing a squad of noise marines in Mk IV and if I do I might as well add them as support to my Thousand sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eetion Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Absolutely fine.... In fact the only hang up I can think of... Is the wary Alpha Legion Lord does like his secrets. He may not be overly comfortable being around people that can read his mind with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I meant to concentrate on translating this scroll with all that racket?! And oh, Changer, don't even get me STARTED on the Unnatural Axe.. Acts. I mean Acts. :) No, seriously, go for it. Someone has to teach those Slaaneshi cretins how to read music ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
