For anyone unaware, the Alpha Legion rite of war allows you to take one unit normally specific to another legion as an elites choice. However, infantry units in the detachment must have Infiltrate, Deep Strike or a dedicated transport. I'd like to put together some kind of rough list based on this rite of war since I like how fluffy it is, but I don't have sufficient knowledge of the other legions to pick which unit would combo best. The rite of war + mutable tactics + Alpharius' rules come together for a list that can infiltrate with everything and basically always goes first, so I'm thinking the order of the day is a list based around a very strong alpha-strike, but I don't know which units would be best for that. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

The tyrant terminators from the iron warriors list is typically one I've read other people take.

Gorgon Terminators. All the free rules

Though they do not have infiltrate, Mor Deythan Strike squads have scout and stealth, and still kinda fit with an alpha strike as they have long range with scout+sniper rifles. Also, I like the idea of Apha Legionaires using sniper rifles to cover an advance.

My vote is Tyrant Terminators. Plus terminators look cool with big missile launchers on their backs. You might look at the new Ultramoron terminators as well, I think they are similar in nature.
