Mortarion24 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Having missed the last Games Day (had a ticket but did a charity walk for cancer that ended 5am that morning and couldn't make it) and not able to take time off on Sunday to come to the event, I would like to make a plea for information on the 3rd book. Specifically anything Alpha Legion, I haven't decided between them and Death Guard for my first Heresy army so I'm waiting on the rules. Info on Primarch, legion rules and special units would be eagerly devoured. I'm also anticipating the other Legions and any info on their Primarchs, rules and units would also be welcome :) I'd be indebted to anyone to the tune of infinity internets.

Kais Klip Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 You can be sure to get almost every single word short of the fluff at the end of Sunday, keep an eye on here but more so on bloggers who are actually attending the event, not to mention any information compiling hobby websites on the day (all of them). To that end a good google will serve you best, but keep an eye on battlebunnies, natfka, BOLS etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288774-a-plea-for-information-from-someone-who-cant-afford-to-go/#findComment-3636972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisdudeness Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yea, stay locked to this site and the other 3 that focus on 40k. You will have everything short of the full book by the end of the weekend.

infyrana Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's easy.. Death Guard - especially with a nickname like yours! ...but if you have to wait for Alpha information to make a decision - perhaps neither are worth their weight for you to do :) Is it the rules for units and legions that will be the swaying point for you, or the fluff?

Mortarion24 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's easy.. Death Guard - especially with a nickname like yours! ...but if you have to wait for Alpha information to make a decision - perhaps neither are worth their weight for you to do Is it the rules for units and legions that will be the swaying point for you, or the fluff? I have had it narrowed down to DG and AL since I finished reading Legion a couple of years ago. I love the background of Mortarion and the description of him as the Grim Reaper of the 30k universe always grabbed me (I always like the death figure - Maugan Ra for the Eldar, death in the discworld, Scythes in general too). I also love the grit of the Death Guard, the refusal to lay down and die despite the odds. His background of breaking free of his father and to fight so hard for revenge only to have it denied to him by his "saviour". Alpha Legion however, I love for the mystery and subterfuge. hit-and-run and ambushes, misdirection. They seem like they could be one of the most fun armies to play with, flexible and unpredictable. Legion really hooked me, with the loyal-but-misunderstood story and cool Primarch factor. I also liked them in the Deliverance Lost. They are so committed to their cause and keep trying to save humanity. now I have decided that I cant afford to do 2 legions...yet. So I have decided that -IF the AL rules are suitably cool and Alpharius + Omegon are sneaky and fun they will be my forerunners UNLESS -The model for Mortarion is too awesome to pass on. The compromise is to make an AL army and then just have Mortarion + some Deathshroud. That was my plan....although Graham McNeill did a good job of putting Peturabo into my mind as a possibility with Angel Exterminatus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288774-a-plea-for-information-from-someone-who-cant-afford-to-go/#findComment-3637261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just paint your army 50/50 and do a joint force using whatever rules you feel like at the time, and get both primarchs - job done? Graham McNeill, having the opposite affect for me, he writes one thing, then writes another, struggling to get through one of his books now as I can't stand how he is making the EC come across... I hope he improves by the time I get to Ang Ext ++edit++ You may need to check the rules on that one, Deathshroud are DG only. They are afterall the most unique of units for the legion primarch, kinda come with the rest of the army sadly.

Sevatar Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Look at Warseer! There is a Lancet kit, rules in Extermination. There is a Krios Venator. Also, a new tyranid kit. Looks like a huge Ravener. And, apparently, an Imperial Fists upgrade kit.
