ChazSexington Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well for an old Alpha Legion player since 2nd Ed, that was always the case so no disappointment here. As Malisteen pointed out, the Alpha Legion needs no primarch. Hydra and all that. I'm disappointed how he died though.

Excessus Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hmm How would you guys do a Kill Team with Alpha Legion? I'm guessing a squad of chosen for the versatility? Cultists too?

hushrong Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think those are great choices. Fits well with their background and could be very cinematic. Personally I never use cultists (then again I never played traitor legions AL). I'd go for either bikers or raptors. Both are very mobile and bikes are tough. Plus you can give them some nifty weapons too if points permit. It also wouldn't be hard to fit them in fluff wise.

ChazSexington Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Bikes are supposedly OP in Kill Team and may ruin the fun, but check with your opponent. I once took a single CSM with a plasma gun and loads of Cultists; the Cultists did really quite well!

Aye - If you're going slightly competitive, you can take plasma to properly melt anything. Infiltrate may not be as useful on a smaller board though, but if you have enough terrain, there'll be plenty LoS blocking to allow a 12" deployment!

Kierdale Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Though I don't have an Alpha Legion army, I have an agent of the legion in my warband's background fluff, and recently I've been experimenting with Tamiya Clear paints (here Blue, Green and a mix of the two). Thus I give you Jinx, counts-as-Callidus assassin, agent of the XX legion: And the mark of the Hydra on her neural disruptor ...a cut down decal from the WHFB Dark Elf Witches/Sisters of Slaughter decal sheet. The jade mask is...a long story. Rather than using polymorphine, she has a (legion-pilfered) athame with which she cuts her way though reality.

Have you played this kill team yet? Any battle reports? I have been using 30K AL for Heralds of Ruin and have been doing alright but I am thinking of branching that force into Shadow War.

Excessus Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Not yet, it's for an event in june. I still haven't decided if I should go with the more mutated (ie DV chosen style) or less mutated (ie my usual AL).

hushrong Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I think either would be cool. I am trying to think of how I could mix DV chaos with the Propsero/Calth parts for another force. Personally I have been trying to scrounge up mk6 parts.

hushrong Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I was just guessing. My copy of shadow war is inbound and I am drooling over the terrain and the game itself. I bet that 4x4 gets crowded when you get more than two players brawling and pure nasty when shots are fired. ChazSexington, what was your list? Just curious what people are running.
