<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Sons of Malice + Alpha Legion, a possible cooperation?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Sons of Malice + Alpha Legion, a possible cooperation?
My reasoning for why it could work is: Alpha Legion is mysterious and nobody really knows where their loyalties stand. Personally I don't know if they're still loyal to the Emperor after 10 000 years, but I don't buy them having converted entirely to Chaos. If I remember right from when I read Legion, the Alpha Legion wants the IoM to collapse to prevent Chaos from taking over (right?), but letting humanity disappear to save the rest of the galaxy doesn't seem ideal either. So enter Malal/Malice, opposed to the other ruinous powers. Despite being Chaos, he is a counter-force, so would it be possible for Alpha Legionnaires to look to Malial in an attempt to confuse and upset the other Chaos gods, either to weaken or destroy them, or just to set them back to buy more time while a better solution is found.

Of course the fluff I would make for my army would be vague, but I'm pretty certain on the following:
-They are opposed to both the Imperium and the four main Chaos gods
-They are (currently) drained of resources and depend largely on looted materials
-Depend on cultists/infiltrators, as well as renegade guardsmen. The two groups occasionally mix, with cultists joining the ranks of guardsmen and vice versa
-Most Marines are Sons of Malice, Alpha Legionnaires typically being more in the background as characters or cultists (is it a cooperation or is the AL exploiting the SoM?)
-Not being bound by Imperial doctrine, research and science is not frowned upon. Mutations and the appearance of Spawn are therefore written off as biological experiments rather than warp influence.

So could anyone with a better knowledge of fluff than me verify if this would be too far-fetched or if it could work? And if it could work, got any ideas for things I could include or expand upon? Any comments and feedback is appreciated, thanks

So any answer is as good as the other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589150/6711790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589150/6711790.page GMT Re:Sons of Malice + Alpha Legion, a possible cooperation? It is the god of suicide, self-loathing, self-destruction (he probably invented the self-destruct button) so I can't see sons of malice working with anyone.

Well the sons of malice are dedicated to a chaos god: malice/malal. Malice does not hate the other ruinous powers, It hates EVERYTHING. It hates The other chaos gods, It hates It's followErs, It hates Itself.
It is the god of suicide, self-loathing, mutually assured destruction without the deterrence - (Tzeentch then came up with Nash's Equilibrium to counter it) (he probably invented the self-destruct button) so I can't see sons of malice working with anyone.
