Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 do you want a Legion to complement your World Eaters as either a loyalist or a traitor in temperement? do you want a loyalist Legion? do you want a similar colour scheme or a contrasting or a complimentary scheme? do you want a characturful conversions Legion? basically, what are you looking for in another army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 That's what I don't know... I want to know what people want me to take on next. Either way I'm list the WE were a straight choice for me but I'm thinking I want opposition for my WE that can be used in a trench format Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 if your looking for a loyalist in the trenches, perhaps Ultramarines? Or even Imperial Fists (representing the siege on Terra) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Any Astartes can hold a trench, whether they want to or not. Give yourself a challenge, and put someone in that trench who normally would despise such tactics. Alpha Legion and the Wolves of Fenris come to mind....

GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hmmm I like the XXth but I don't know it's just annoying as I feel they don't have personality Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 People say the same about the Iron Warriors. And the Ultramarines. And the Imperial Fists. And the World Eaters. Ad Nauseum. They're all opinions. It up to you what kind of character they have. Make them different. My suggestion would be to brush up on special forces from across the world, and ignore the CIA bullcrap. The SAS groups of all those who once served the crown are badasses. The Spetsnaz are scary brutal. GSG 9 make Germany's foes shake in their boots. JTF2 of Canada are world-renowned for long range brain surgery. Then, of course there is the American SOG teams, but sadly, you don't have the clearance... ;) Make them into a story. Build them as living beings. Give them spirit and character. It's all up to you, brother.

Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You want a scary as hell leader? Look up Anthony Alexander Poshepny, aka Tony Poe. Real life Alpha Legionaire right there. The he did is still feared and respected in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to this day.

Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Study up on The Devil's Brigade (the US/Canadian SF group back in the late '30's to '40's), and I would suggest digging deep. There are stories of the screwed up stuff they did during WWII that is still whispered in fear.

Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Remember all that, "We are Legion",, and corrective surgery crap in Legion? Throw all that BS in the trash. The Alpha Legion is smarter than that. You know the old saying "Not everyone grows up to be an astronaut"? Well, not every child is fit to be a super-secret company spook when they are reborn as Transhumans. Doesn't mean they have no use, though. The Alpha Legion is, if anything, clever with their resources. Some will be better with a sniper rifle than silver tongued words. Some will be better with a knife than a data sniffer. Deliberate Operations, instead of Covert Actions. Shocking, crushing attacks from the shadows, with no discernible source. Exploding ammo dumps. Nighttime Air Assaults. Wet and Void strikes. Throats taken in the dark by an astartes with bare, tattooed arms and painted face, dragging bodies into hiding places. Vicious. Quick. Cunning. No trace, no evidence. Think less sneaky-sneaky, start thinking more violently. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ah, now I see why Jasp suddenly flipped from either IFs or Sallies to AL. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakuth Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 In a similar vein to the suggestions provided by Heathens, and something a little closer to home, do a it of research of Z Special Group (wiki). I can imagine an AL force staging a mock attack on a 'friendly' port or similar, can't you? A mate gave me a whole lot of Aussie/Kiwi suggestions on this sort of topic a little while back. I don't have the full list with me, but will post more when I can access it.

Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Speaking of Aussies, look into Aviation Regiments, for your AL's transport. No matter what, aviation is always the way to go for LRPR or Deliberate Ops. Had the privilege to work alongside your boys in the 6th Avn Regiment back in '08 in Afghanistan. Good folks, all. Never got used to your army's uniforms, though. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakuth Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Nothing wrong with the Aussie uniforms, mate, although I must admit they can look a bit odd next to those from other countries. ;) Looking at the 6th Avn Regiment, they've been involved in some interesting stuff. The Wikipedia page shows one of their Blackhawks dropping off Aussie commandos, so they would indeed be appropriate inspiration for AL transport.

Oh, y'alls pattern is effective, just weird compared to my old multicams. Like mustard stains on brown paper towel, lol. On the other hand, we have those ugly ass digitals we are forced to wear back home... And, yeah, the 6th is light movement and reconnaissance. They and my old Squadron worked well together. Kiowas are some mean airframes when used right. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280572-legion-votes/#findComment-3468928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
