Capt. Tates Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 So what makes an army fluffy? Takin the AL units and characters? Or certain generic units? What would the AL take to war?

Adra'Melek Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 That would take whatever they needed to do the job. Or they would take whatever they want and then figure out how to do the job with that. Hope that helps ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313037-what-is-a-fluffy-al-list/#findComment-4159148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Anything. All legions would have used anything they had access to in some capacity, and the AL in particular would use anything required to get the job done.

Slips Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If you need a slightly more...precise...sort of Guideline, the Legion RoW usually detail/demonstrate the Legions Stereotypical Method of Conducting Warfare rather aptly.

Fenbain Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It can all be fluffy based on the narrative you set out for the army. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313037-what-is-a-fluffy-al-list/#findComment-4159174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 AL doesn't mind bringing anything to the table when fighting an opponents, tricksy units and strange tactics are fine, as well as standard deployments, tank companies, artillery, infantry...anything goes really! :) Take the tools to get the job done!

Atia Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 the short answer: "And what Atia, does the Alpha Legion use?" *removes my hood* Everything .... the long answer: use whatever you want - you can make a massive infantry assault, a sneeky scout army, a tank army, a flier supported army, or like i plan, an elite army (representing the Laerneans) consisting of Veterans, Terminators, Dreadnoughts and Breachers aswell as special Laernean Breachers - or a mix of it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313037-what-is-a-fluffy-al-list/#findComment-4159412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 All the above and you get to steal your favourite unit from another Legion! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313037-what-is-a-fluffy-al-list/#findComment-4160143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 All the above and you get to steal your favourite unit from another Legion! yeah, that's what i meant with Laernean Breachers :D (think i'll use either medusan immortals all with volkites - or phalanx warders with power axes for the rules of cool lol) ... and there are also Ultramarine or IW cyclone Terminators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313037-what-is-a-fluffy-al-list/#findComment-4160145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always want to do AL to get all the unique units, but I know I'll end up with one of all of the unique Legion squads.... Only able to use a single one in a game >< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313037-what-is-a-fluffy-al-list/#findComment-4160308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThtsTheJoke Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 it depends on what your playing. rule of thumb, bring the exact same models as the enemy in the exact same color scheme on the exact same bases and have the enemy confused throughout the entire thing. also claim every squad he tries to fire with belongs to you.

Ishagu Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Alpha Legion, imo, would field lots of infantry supported by the most high tech vehicles and equipment available to the Legions...

TemujinZero Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Given the numbers and flexibility of 30K Legions compared to the size of any given force actually fielded on the tabletop, pretty much any list can be perfectly fluffy, and there are no typical lists. You might be able to put together a distinctive list by using the units and rites unique to your legion, but it wouldn't be any more fluffy than a force comprising entirely of post-purge Terran Word Bearers called Gary (ok that might be pushing it, but given a bit of imagination nothing in the background rules it out). Pick out some units you love and build a theme around them. It's much more satisfying (and fluffy) to build an Alpha Legion siege list or an Alpha Legion armour list than it is to build some mythical standardised Alpha Legion force.
