my basic plan is bikers sucure objectovs which then serve as drop sites. then hell shell rain down from the hevens. the fresh astartes will hang on to there positions while close combat squads will take the fight to the enamy

next time more men we need more men, and fire the bid guns

any sugestions to make it better?

Well, the tele-homers will not help out with your drop pods, if that's what you're thinking.

Also, teleporting assault terminators are probably not the best idea as they will be useless sitting ducks the turn they arrive.

My only critique would be to not include Alpharius in your legion at all. There are no rules in any codex to adequatley represent the awesome power of a Primarch. Or even regular space marines for that matter. You will always run into difficulty when putting fluff to rules. I would suggest creating your own leader, as perhaps a legion commander under Alpharius but not the Primarch himself.

There were rules somewhere for the Primarches, I think it might have been warseer tho

@ blue loki: the extra teloport homer is incase one of the other two die, the cc terms would be sitting ducks just walking a cross the table the way i see it this way i expose them to less oncomming fire

@ white devil: i couldent help my self the temptation to build him was too grate

@ celtic strike: could you post a link? would be realy helpfull

thanks keep em comming

Cool, I was just worried you might be basing your list on a misunderstanding.



I would not give Alpharius a thunderhammer for two reasons:

1. Gamewise - You're negating one of the characters strengths, his high initiative.

2. Fluffwise - Secrecy and sneakiness are the hallmarks of the Alpha Legion, even before the Heresy. Thunderhammers don't really scream stealthy!


I'd rather give him a pair of Lightning Claws. Capitalize on his high Init.

I dont see lightning claws as primarch a wepon. the way i see it is he has a power mase  but the emense stranght makes it a thunder hammerand the slowness is him picking killing blows over mameing his foes
