HQ, and up to 6 Fallen Units of five to 10 men each. That only adds up to around 680 points. For an escalation league, that may work really well. For anywhere from most pickup games to a tournament game, that just doesn't work.

So, does anyone know how to create a full Fallen army? If not, what are the best allies for Fallen?

Thanks

How exactly? Fallen can ally with any Imperium army as long as they are not the Dark Angels.

SG
Shuppet is suggesting you just use DA rules and ignore that Fallen have rules at all. Use DA units/rules and just say they are Fallen, and model them as Fallen
This is really the best option right now.

The only Matched Play army you can make with pure fallen is a Vanguard Detachment with Fallen and Cypher, and any allies in other detachments since Fallen lack either the ADEPTUS ASTARTES or the HERETIC ASTARTES keyword.

The Fallen options in the CSM codex are like the Inquisition options in the index. Technically usable in Matched play but you really shouldn't bother trying.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/771549/10348966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/771549/10348966.page GMT Re:Is there a way to make a purely Fallen army in 8th Edition? Ok, then. As a recovering Dark Angel player, part of my step program compels me to admit that the Fallen are essentially Dark Angels. Perhaps even more pure than the Loyalists in certain ways. To keep true to theme, you would need to paint them black and old looking (Mk3 armor for some, maybe?) I mean, in half of the fluff, they are suspected to be anywhere and everywhere. Heck, if you wanted to really screw with people, create an Alpha legion army with the Fallen theme and look. The common denominator is that the DA hate them beyond all reason. Their true nature varies wildly.
It really just depends on how you want to theme them. Are they the Evil Bastards the Dark Angels believe them to be, or are they the misunderstood anti-heroes?

And as for Cypher, I would say (and yes, I do feel a bit of shame saying this) that he could simply be a counts-as-something-else for ForceOrg purposes. Casual, of course.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/771549/10349077.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/771549/10349077.page GMT Is there a way to make a purely Fallen army in 8th Edition?
The Heretic Astartes codex is in a really weird place now where Cultists are a better tropp choice than the unit that the book is centered on. And you can even create a list with no Chaos Space Marines in it at all too with this codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/771549/10350676.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/771549/10350676.page GMT Is there a way to make a purely Fallen army in 8th Edition?
