Poll closed. Going with the renegades. CSM mixed with SM & Wolves (models) to simulate Alpha Legion. I feel that the ability of SW (Codex) to play MSU style & attack from all angles with a lot of redundancy fits the alpha legion well if not exactly right. . .

Thanks all who responded.


Option C:
Space Wolves
Highly Competitive
Could use Chaos Models to form a more renegade chapter (Space Vikings don't quite do it for me and I don't want an army of Hugh Jackman look alikes)
Very well at playing MSU style
Highly adaptable force
MeQ(Negative)

Go for dark eldar if MEQ is such a turn-off for you.
People will only cry "bandwagon" until the next dex comes out. if you're that worried about what people think, you need to toughen up, lad!!

I voted Space Wolves, with the Renegade theme. I'm not a Space Wolves fan and wouldn't field them myself, but if you like Chaos Marines as much as you seem to, setting them up using Codex: Space Wolves would give you a very playble army that appeals to you.

Probably DE. Space Wolves you can go with the 13th company for some variety, but there are enough MEQs in the word as is. plus there are some serious conversion potentials in DE.

C; I feel it's the Best personally

As you like MSU then SW are defiantly the way to go, they are lucky enough to have many builds that are all competitive. The new DE sex wouldn' go to well and CSM...well i guess if you like playing with 2 Lash Dameons Plague marines and some obliterators then sure go ahead, but i would prefer options, i.e SW

Male, Female and, <Insert Inappropriate Anecdote Here>?

On a serious note, proxy all three armies then decide from there. I moved to CSM after Eldar but that was based on alot of playtesting with proxy models.

CSM's are ok in terms of a competitive sense, but rather cookie cutter and their fluff is rather poor ATM.

SW's are a very point-click-win army with atrocious fluff.

DE have awesome new background, great new models with most of the line supposedly being redone by summer, and are very fun to play with and against. I say go with them.
