The Unseen Path: Starting 30k Alpha Legion

[Ifrit446]

Hey all,

 

I've recently picked up some 30k  and 40k kits that I want to use for my pre-heresy Alphas and need your thoughts and feelings. 

 

What I currently have and what I'm thinking they should be made into:

 

Battle of Calth:

-Dark Apostle (converting into Armilus Dynat)

-Termie Lord (converted praetor perhaps??)

-5 termies (possible Lernaean termies in the making)

-Contemptor (dual-kheres assault cannons)

-30 marines split up into big tactical squads, wet squads or support squads

 

Other bits:

-Another contemptor (also dual kheres assault cannons)

-10-15ish unbuilt vanilla marines with a plethora of special weapons

-15 Grey Knights (which I'm thinking of making a veteran squad or Seeker squad)

-Alpharius Conversion

-3 to 4 rhinos

-Possibly 3 to 4 other HQ choices

 

So my question is where do you guys think would be most advantageous place to start?? I will be playing mostly pickup games so I don't need to be overly competitive but I DO play against a tryhard marine player that needs a good @$$-kicking from time to time. 

 

So for my Alphas, I was thinking of maybe doing a Rite of War with a lot of veterans/seekers to represent the elitist force of the Alpha Legion. On the other hand, I could keep the squads simple and just use the 30 Calth marines with the unbuilt vanillas and have two blobs of 20 tacticals. 

 

Thanks for the help in advance,

Easiest place to start would be Pride of the Legion. Sniper or Tankhunter veterans in Rhinos, deep striking terminators, mortis contemptors for horde/transport hate. Against marines, plasma seekers are a good choice (or just support squads with alpharius).
