Hi
I'm thinking about expanding my Alpha Legion.
I love their fluff so I want keep my army follow Alpha Legions's background.
But also I want to have good list.
This is my 1000pts list
HQ
Daemon Prince,Teenzh,Wing,WoC,Warp Time
Troop
10CSM,2 melta,1 Powefist,Icon *2
10Khorne Berzerker(They are from World Eaters. As Alpha Legons's pawn in thier "plan")
3 Rhino.
From here,I want to expand my army to 2000pts.
To represent thier "sneaky" style,I want to add the one or two "Chosen". Shooty chosen,maybe.
And I do not want add cult marines other than Berzerker.
Other than that,I have no idea.
What should I add to my army?
Tell me your advices.
Thanks in advance.

Vindicator is nice.
I'll add 2 of them.
Any other suggestion?

Boom! Leman Russ Commander

i dont play csm a whole lot, but have looked over the codex, and played them once and a while either against them or with them.
I would add some oblivators if you can, as well as some vindicators. I'm not too into termies, but if you get some give them a LR.
with chosen, i havent used them or seen them used, i would use them like i use vanguard vets with my blood angels: keep them light and keep them with an option in mind. So that would mean give them one or two special weapons, give them some extra bodies and give them a role. Again i don't play chosen so don't know exactly what they can have. but don't over equipt them, i would make them outflank with some anti-tank or anti-personal weapons.
hope that helps!

Thx for input.
Personally,I do not think Obliterater is not fit Alpha Legion. So I'll not use it.
Yeah,I'll try 10 marines with 5 melta iin rhino!
In 2000 list,3 Troops are too small?
I have 10 man CSM to spare. So I can add it if needed.
What do you think about 20 man CSM?
I feel I need ranged support. What should I add?
There is so many things I can do. I'm wondering what I should get.
Give me your advice!

So,finally I made this list.
2000pts
HQ
Abaddon(As Alpharius)
Daemon Prince,Wing,Warp Time
Elite
5 Terminator,1 powerfist,1 chainfist,1heavy flamer,Icon of Teenzh
10Chosen,5 flamer,Icon of Glory,Rhino
10Chosen,5 melta,Icon of Glory,Rhino
Troop
10CSM,2 melta,1 Powefist,Icon of Glory,Rhino
10CSM,2 melta,1 Powefist,Icon of Glory,Rhino
10Khorne Berzerker,Powerfist,personal icon,Rhino
Well,Prince as Magnet. At 2000pts,maybe he die too soon?
Need more Troop?
I'm wondering how to equip Terminators.
They are living wounds for my Abaddon.
May be too expensive in this list?
Tell me what you think,please!

These lists are very weak at range. I have a 2000 point Emperors Children army and I am now making an Alpha Legion army myself with a bit of nurgle in it.
With your models I can make a better list. Only things you need to buy are Tanks.
HQ
Daemon prince (MoK, Warptime, Wings)
Chaos Lord (MoS, Daemon Weapon)
Troops
10 CSM (Champ, Fist, 2 Plasma Guns)
Rhino
10 CSM (Champ, Fist, 2 Plasma Guns)
Rhino
5 CSM (Plasma Gun)
9 Khorne Bersekers (Champ, Fist) [Go with Lord]
Rhino
Elites
5 Chosen (4 Melta guns) [Infiltrate]
5 Terminators (MoK, 5 Combi-Plasmas, Chain Fist) [Deep Strike]
Heavy
Predator (Lascannon Sponsons, Twin Linked Lascannon)
Predator (Lascannon Sponsons, Twin Linked Lascannon)
Predator (Autocannon, Heavy Bolters)

I love noticing little things you say that tell me you're japanese  It's cool, don't worry about it, haha. ANYWAY! I think some terminators could work. Deep striking behind enemy lines and blowing them up is as sneaky as you can get, I think  More CSM would be good too. More bodies= more fun  I want to say raptors, but I'm not sure. They can work, sometimes. Havocs are cool. Missile launchers can wreak a lot of er...Havoc! Automatically Appended Next Post: Sir Motor wrote:Thx for input.

5 guys with a plasma gun is a lonely little unit unless you take a chaos icon for them. They can be functional too.
5 chosen is different though  Take an IOCG on them, for sure. Then fill the rest of the guys up with meltas or whatever you prefer
Predators are pretty good, if you're not taking obliterators. AV13 is a blessing sometimes.

I had the 5 man CSM as an extra backup to take points.
You could get rid of it and put more guys in the chosen squad if you like but they are infiltrating so they will be safe until they attack.

i think that for 2000 points about 5-8 termies champions are good.
some with combi flamer some with melta, 1-3 with power/chainfist sound good to me.
