So this is my attempt at a fluffy yet effective Alpha Legion list. The basic idea of this list is the flexibility of the special rules that can be given to the army. Between alpha legion picking the special rule they want, choosing a strategic and veteran tactics, I can essentially tailor my list before the game begins, but legally. The go to rules would be infiltrate with the warlord and scout as the general rule, so the veterans can be nice and close to the enemy from the get go. The sicarans can keep up with infiltrating rhinos due to their fast special rule, and the rapiers....well I had 80 points and had no idea what to include. I know its not exactly going to defeat top tier lists, but what do you think? How can the idea be refined and improved?

My only thought is switching the HB quad rapiers for graviton cannons? I can't remember how much they are, I think 60, so that wouldn't work. You have 3 really good anti-armor units in the sicaran's, but there's not a lot of MEAT in the list. Once the metal boxes are opened you have 41 marines ya know? I haven't played any HH yet and just getting into it as well with my BaC box, but I think some more dudes would do over the 3 sicarans. Maybe another tactical squad in a rhino in place of a sicaran? Just a thought man. I like the list for sure. Good show.

How are you using Legion Veteran Squads as troops without using Pride of the Legion? Or is that one of Skorr's special abilities?

More bodies could be an issue, I'm thinking of dropping the venator and the rapiers for either some support squad volkite nasties or just plain tacticals for backfield objective grabbing.

The delegatus consul unlocks the chosen duty rite of war which means veterans must be taken as compulsory troops. It's basically pride of the legion but I thought, might as well go with this one.

You like your Sicarans for sure.
for the Quad Heavy Bolters - I've got three in my force.

Although the Quad Heavy Bolters and Sicarans can cover it, consider dedicated Anti-Air - a Hyperios Tarantula Battery or a Deredeo Dreadnought. The Venator will pretty much scrag any vehicle it shoots at but if you loose it, you'll be out of ranged anti-armour. I'd say drop a Sicaran and add a backup armour killer. Xiphon, Primaris Lightning, Drop Podded Leviathan or something else big and scary. Support squads, while they look pretty nice on the table top, last until a Typhon lobs a shell their way and then they get scragged.
