Hey Guys!
I am going to pick up a Prospero box today with the intent of using the majority of the models for my Alpha Legion.
While I am aware the Custodes and the Sisters cannot be part of/allied to/whatever a traitor legion, they will be set aside for my blood angels instead (got heaps of 40k blood angels that I sometimes use in Horus Heresy for funsies).

That leaves the Mk3 marines, the Tartaros, and the 2 Characters.
Of the two characters, I reckon Ahriman would be easy enough to convert and use a standard librarian. The Space Wovles character however screams spacewolves, not sure I could make use of him at all?
With the MK3 marines, I know I want to use at least 10 of them to make a veteran tactical squad (I already have 35 mk4 Tacticals and a 5 man plasma gun squad in MK4). Thinking I might use 5 of them for a command squad, leaving 15.... Which Heavy Weapons squads are worth taking? Could use 5 or 10 for one of those? Thoughts/Idea on how to use the rest?
As for the Tartaros, I have 10 Cataphracti atm built as Lanearn (sp?) Terminators - Have a mate that will happily give me 5 Cataphracti for my 5 Tartaros - if I was to do that i would kit them out with a couple of heavy weapon options to sub in and use. However I am not sure, would it be worthwhile to make a 5 man Tartaros terminator squad instead? Reckon it is superfluous to my needs?
