I am building an alpha legion list and was wondering what the best specialist units are, as alpha legion can steal them.

Dare i speak of this heresy: Mor Deythan. Forgive me, Corax.


a five man squad with 3 combi flamers and 2 flamers is awesome. See my thread "Best Mor Deythan Config" for more.

Annoyingly and unfluffily, Gal Vorbak are pretty terrifying.

Red Butchers are a handful.

But the right answer to this is really another question -- what do you think you need to add to your AL?

This really. There is no one best unit to take. It all depends on how you are running your Alphas?

Generally I take them as a sort of allcomers list with some bikes, two big tactical marine blobs with chaplains and apothecaries, a predator squad for anti tank, alpharius and some whirlwind hyperios' for meq munchin.

If I could steal a unit I would take the tyrant siege terminators.

Could you post your list? That would help with points aso

This is my list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/676881.page at the moment I have siege terminators for dakka

As others have said, there is no right answer to this question. In my opinion if you need a short ranged boost in your army, More Deythan, for long range probably Iron Havocs, and for melee Gal Vorbak, I can personally attest to the GV's ability to eat anything whole, slap a fist on the Dark Martyr for an S10 fist on a model with T5 and 3 wounds, throw artificer armour for good measure. Last game my Martyr challenged and killed Loken after taking two wounds, very pleased with them.
