The rewards of treason......

[Cornelias]

Not that everyone's had time to digest the rules from the new HH release, specifically the new Alpha Legion rules and how best to make use of "The rewards of treason" rule that allows them to use a single unit from any other legion. Has anyone came up with some top trumps ideas that they think would work well?

 

I'm leaning towards a reaver jump pack squad with banestrike bolters, the added bonus of them now able to infiltrate along with a good movement range from jump packs would make for a great anti-infantry squad, i've always fancied shooty jump packers and always wanted to try out a blood angels force with death company kitted out the same but these look like they could fit the bill a lot better.

 

Feel free to discuss this idea and throw in any of your own? I'm sure someone can be really inventive :)

id be tempted to collect a few legion only units and select the ones that will help you face your opponent.

Alpha Legion would be sneaky enough to do that sort of thing

or just pic a fav unit from a legion you dont really want to collect

Maybe pic a unit based on the army your facing just to mess with them?

One of the most straight up effective legion specific units I've seen has got to be the Red Butchers of the World Eaters. Give them dual power axes and they get 5 attacks on the charge, with cataphractii armor, fearless, and feel no pain. They are brutal, and pulling them into the devious Alpha Legion tactics would be effective in the least
