Xenith Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi all, I really like AT, and have the Christmas battleforce from last year, however havent got started on it yet.. I'll also likely get the getting started box with reavers, hounds and cerastus, mainly to get the rules, and because it's a great deal. What I do not want is multiple Legios/armies, etc, and would like a single, unified force if possible. The option to be able to split into two forces if a friend wanted to play would also be great. Are there any Legios that split into loyal and traitor factions in the Heresy, allowing for roughly similar schemes There also apears to be loyalist/traitor only units, such as the Sinister Titan. Are there any more of these? Thanks! Xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 There are a few examples of splits. Some are currently explicit and relatively well-known, like Legio Tempestus, and others are inferred or based on older references. Off the top of my head, Legio Metalica splits and a portion falls to Khorne, and Legio Victorum has a split as well.

Master Ciaphas Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Legio Xestobiax managed to play both sides - and somehow managed to wind up being pardonen by the Loyalists following the Heresy's end.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Currently the Sinister are the only faction locked units, though there are a bunch of stratagems limited by your allegiance. The galaxy is a big place, however, and all larger organisations had portions of their forces on all sides (as well as jaded separationists).

Fajita Fan Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 This was my original plan, one paint scheme and use little (or bug) printed banners with eyes and Chaos stars to denote traitors. Of course my plans always seem to get derailed...I didn’t even end up with the two legions I had planned to do. This is a great modeling and scheme opportunity to come up with something original if you’d like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Metalica? Where's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Metalica? Where's that? In the 40k Warlord novel by Annandale. Legios Pallidus Mor and Solaria fought against a splinter faction of legio Metalica, which the principes of Pallidus Mor recognised as part of the same faction which had tried to convince them to side with Horus at the heresy's outset. noigrim 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 They’re also the part of the legio who cut their hair in 1995. Sandlemad and noigrim 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks all! I was drawn to Xestiobax due to the unique scheme and kind of being loyal but fighting for the TS on Prospero. Wasn't aware of the splits in other legios, so that's good to know, especially Legio Tempestus/Tempestor. Them, Xestiobax and Naesseas are all schemes that caught my attention!
