Emperor's Furor Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Do you think their rules will make recon troops actual troops or will they remain support troops as they are now?

Adra'Melek Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Maybe. I think Raven Guard will. Alphas introduced Seekers so maybe plenty of them.

Spinsanity Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 FW will most likely give Raven Guard or Alpha Legion some Legion specific Rites of War that will allow Recon Squads as troop... But giving them straight-out access? I don't know, we'll have to wait and see I guess...

Greyshift Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Plus the AL will have at least 2 unique units, going on the other legions so far, at least one must be a specialist infiltration/recon unit I'd imagine Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279571-will-alpha-legion-have-recon-squads-as-troops/#findComment-3449824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Klip Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I really hope Bligh avoids your mindset WoT, that off AL being recon heavy and hide-in-the-shadows a la raven guard. In my opinion Alpha Legion would be more suited with callidus-esque shenanigans that mess with the opponents army, although I doubt Bligh will have the cojones to mess so much with the opponent's army like I am hoping for. Instead I've set my hopes for stuff like upgraded Seekers (Ap 3 bolt rounds would satisfy me after a while and would suit the AL mindset) and other fancy stuff that focuses on offensively messing with the opponents army using your own units, rather than have his army mess with himself like AL should do.

Emperor's Furor Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I agree with them playing havoc with the enemy army, so far you can only really do it with the vigilator. It was more due to me thinking about what are safe options to get if I was about to start a HH escalation campaign As I need troops I was hoping it may be ok just using the recon troops and ignoring the support option, other wise I guess I'll have to go with normal legion tactical squads. As of now If I can't have recon units as troops, I'll have to go with a vigilator, two 10 man tactical squads, then perhaps an outflanking recon unit accompanying an outflanking veteran unit and finally a seeker unit for the vigilator to go with and perhaps a contemptor. I don't want anything that is particularly noisy fluff wise so I'm trying to avoid tanks.

Excessus Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 HAH! Alpha Legion has always been, and will always be about synchronised swimming...eeerrr, I mean synchronized strikes from all angles. :P Coordination is our hallmark, and to use the unexpected angles is our expertise! The infiltration and shenanigans are just ways to achieve this...

Hyaenidae Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Fingers crossed for mini's in the Infiltrator Armour in Legion. I have so many cool visuals in my head, I'd hate for them to not show up.

depthcharge12 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 The AL might get to redeploy one unit or outflank a unit at the beginning of your turn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279571-will-alpha-legion-have-recon-squads-as-troops/#findComment-3450045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
