Building an Alpha Legion army to be as useful as I can within the different tactics available. I am not using any of the special characters as I wanted numbers and went that direction over bells and whistles. I am in a fairly uncompetitive meta, so I wasn't going for hard core mode but I don't feel like getting stomped either.

LoW- Strike Wing with 2 Vultures with Punisher cannons(most expensive option pointwise, they will be magnetized). Real reason is I have had them on my shelf for two years and I want a reason to put them together.



Seekers are my main point of concern, they are bloody expensive. I was thinking of a single 10 man squad but that was over 400 points. I have the ten models, not sure what else I can use them for. I don't think off hand that vets have that option. This is even more fun since I have ten more actual headhunters I haven't figured out how to shoehorn in. Wondering if maybe keep a 5 man and whatever change is left and making a bare boned 10 man seeker squad by ditching the flamer tac squad since they were purely an addon since I had a spare 150 points.

Hi, no 30k expert, but you lended a hand to my list, so take my advice with a grain of salt! The two alpha legion special characters, dynat & Autilion Skorr seem pretty reasonably priced and bring allot to the party. Personally I always like my HQ's to be force multipliers rather then beatsticks.

I see you take a powerfist in each Tac squad, that is allot of points. I like boys before toys, but your mileage may vary.

I don't think the iron havocs need a rhino. Just stick them in the backfield and save the points imo.

Have to have them in a rhino for Coils unless I go Infiltrate every time. It provides some extra str5 blasts.

Neither character really gives bonuses that I am looking for. I almost always toss PFs on my squads. Gives options when fighting different units.
