slitth Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Ok with the new Heretic Astartes Focus Index, do you think that the Alpha Legion will get something new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourged Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Based on the iron warriors preview... We might get our own specialist detachment. Might. So, basically all that that entails: two strategems, a relic, and a trait. But even that isn't a guarantee, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The Devastation Battery Detachment is fluffy for Iron Warriors, but it's not an IW-specfic detachment, do I wouldn't use it as an example that we or any other Legion are going to get our onlwn specific detachments. I've always been a proponent of Havocs, though, so if nothing else, I'll use the Devastation Battery if I find myself playing a Knight, for example.

slitth Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Maybe we could get a sniper upgrade for Chosen to match the Eliminators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Maybe we could get a sniper upgrade for Chosen to match the Eliminators 40k headhunters would be great, but I can't see GW doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon Prince Marbas Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Remember the Devastation Battery is fluffy for Alpha Legion. We used Siege warfare during the Invasion of Paramar V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 All I want are Lerneans for 40k but that's not gonna happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitth Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Maybe we could get a sniper upgrade for Chosen to match the Eliminators 40k headhunters would be great, but I can't see GW doing this I do not see a reason that would stop GW. Its just a upgade pack with 2 or 3 sniper rifles, 10 Alpha Legion shoulder pads, some heads and 1 or 2 melee weapons. That would go well with the new box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Maybe we could get a sniper upgrade for Chosen to match the Eliminators 40k headhunters would be great, but I can't see GW doing this Hopefully with better rules though... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custodian Athiair Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Anyone else think the rules for Red Corsairs are actually better for the Alpha Legion, than the Alpha Legion ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Nope. I like not getting shot as much. That being said, I am considering taking a Battalion of ex-Emperor's Swords using Red Corsair Trait to supply my CP needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yeah I don't think so either. Alpha Legion rules are still pretty fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adreal Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Anyone else think the rules for Red Corsairs are actually better for the Alpha Legion, than the Alpha Legion ones... I like the option exists, but I play alpha legion, so I'll use marines and enjoy a -1 to hit while the hunker down in cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon Prince Marbas Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Master of Executions seems to be good for working alongside an Exalted Champion. What are your thoughts on the new units for CSM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Master of Executions seems to be good for working alongside an Exalted Champion. What are your thoughts on the new units for CSM? I am quite interested in this as well, since I will be starting a new army some form of roadmap for whats good will be nice. Especially the heavy Support section is full of stuff I am loving opticly (Havocs, daemon engines, obliterators). As I understand it cultists are stuck at 5 ppm but lost legion trait and got restricted to 30 guys/unit. Which is fine with me as I like taking power armoured dudes. Also see appended my 3 BSF chaos marines as test pieces for my alpha legion scheme. I tried a non metallic and a metallic scheme, decided to stick with metallic. Also I tried my hand at glazes over zenithal work which can still be improved. https://imgur.com/a/JUeBkLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 So I'm thinking a Raptor Host with two squads of Raptors loaded with plasma, one big unit of Warp Talons, and a jump pack Lord or Sorcerer for taste backed up by Arkos. Between Arkos and the Host's HQ's Warlord Trait, that's +3" to charge. Suddenly, Warpflame Strike isn't such a bad deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessus Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 They do. Well then, I guess the guard will do everything they can to stop the lord getting into that backline of tanks with his murdersword then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitth Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 So what is your judgment on the Heretic Astartes Focus: Alpha Legion? I just say that i am a little disappointed. The Cult of the Damned sounds more like something that is more related to the The Word Bearers. Not that Cultists (operatives) is not a part of the Alpha Legion's modus operandi. But I always view the more as sleeper agent that a religious cult. I see nothing in the article that look like it's specialise in stealth and subterfuge. Or the coordinated multiple fronts attack that the Alpha Legion is also famous for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon Prince Marbas Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Other than Renegade Chapters and the Black Legion there have been no significant rules updates for the other Traitor Legions. They're just a showcase for new units, specialist detachments, and stratagems...........I'm not crying you're crying. (sobs in corner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I agree the XX focus was very disappointing, nothing in there for me personally. On another note, has anyone tried to chaosify (I swear it's a word) the cataphractii terminators and what parts did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Now that we've had all the focus articles, it's only really the Black Legion and famous renegade warbands that got rules with limitations, all the other stuff anyone can use. They did just as much or little with us as they did with any of the other ones (except the above mentioned ones ofc)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, has anyone tried to chaosify (I swear it's a word) the cataphractii terminators and what parts did you use? I think that depend on the level of corruption you are going for. I personally prefer a more "neutral" look, so I often remove more imperial iconography or chaos stars. Then I add combat scars or studs. If I where go for max corruption to a cataphractii terminator. I would add legion shoulder guards, maybe some trophy racks, different helmets, chaos weapons and skulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
