For tabletop use I recommend some kind of color coding. You could do pad rims or chest symbols like the Codex Astartes. It doesn't require you to squint to read scale-appropriate letters, number and symbols.

If copying a concept Robute used bothers you (and it probably should) you could model each squad as a unique and totally fake Chaos Warband, with each model having a 'secret' Hydra marking somewhere. That'd be really Alpha-sneaky.

My two cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/658044/8014735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/658044/8014735.page GMT Alpha Legion- squad markings http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/658044/8014765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/658044/8014765.page GMT Alpha Legion- squad markings

They probably don't use any. Squad markings would give an opponent unnecessary intelligence. Anonymity, old bean; 'We are all Alpharius' and all that rot.

Incorrect. HH: Extermination is quite clear that the Alpha Legion is split between two halves. The half that is portrayed in Legion, who disguise themselves as other legions, sneak around, and call themselves Alpharius. And the half that make heavy use of traditional tactics, heraldry and markings, all of which can be changed at a moment's notice. The point is to feed as much information to the enemy and ensure that every bit of it is false when the battle arrives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/658044/8014968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/658044/8014968.page GMT Alpha Legion- squad markings 40k for some parts of the Alpha Legion. Can you help the OP with how to represent Alpha squad markings then? Or is this just an interesting aside?
