I'm new to Chaos and am building an Alpha Legion. Trying to sty true to the fluff and not having any vehicles yet have come up with this, let me know what you think.

I think this list will do well. Im play testing it on Saturday and will update with the results.

I think it looks good, but I would trade GoM in to make all the CSMs Veterans to be true AL.

I think you need 30 cultists for 3 flamers

Is there a sky shield for the mot cultists to chill out on? As long a 1 member of a 30 man squad is on the sky shield all of the mot cultists have a 3++ invo v shooting.

Youre right i forgot to takeout the extra flamer when i down sized the squads. thanks

No they are going to run across the field soaking up fire and trying to get into hand to hand so my marines can take better positions until the cultists die. Thats why i gave the that mark, so they dont die as easy moving across the field.

I'd say that if you really want to be fluffy, you could take Huron for his ability to infiltrate
I hadn't the opportunity to read the CSM codex so I wouldn't know about the usefulness of the upgrades (though I guess MoN grants +1E) but I can only agree about giving them the Veterans of the thingy War status
I do like the concept ... can't wait for a Horus Hersy book about the Night lords by the way

List worked perfectly. Wiped out A khorn list, but lost to a Paladin list. The cultists survived both games and even destroyed an entire paladin squad. I am thinking of dropping a squad of marines and adding another squad of cultist they did so well.

Lol ya i was about to say watch out for flyers and purifiers. Im very supprised to hear that those squads of cultists wiped paladins. Gj

Well turns out that they get 3 attacks on the charge and im running squads of 25, so that 75 attacks on the charge at full strength.
