http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net DV boxset I picked up a while back, and also some other pieces like a dreadnaught, rhino and more tac marines. My idea was to have a home brew, but the way iv modelled and painted them, they basically resemble the fallen. I am yet to pick up a codex yet, but I know that they have there own specialist unit within the chaos codex, however I want to run them as a whole fallen army (maybe loyalist) rather than just their specific unit attached to another army. What would be a good direction to go in? Could I just play with any loyalist rules, or even the Dark Angels Codex? I want to keep them relatively fluffy, so assumed the stealth strategem would suit them. Or do I play them as a renegade force within chaos? I am unsure how this would work (which legion etc), there not particularly spikey looking, just a bit war torn. I would like some pros and cons of playing as either chaos or loyalists, how this would fit in with the fluff, how I can use the models I currently have. I am currently on the final book of the dark angels omnibus so have some background on both DA and Fallen, theres just no mention of particular tactics in there as of yet, just heresey era stuff (Which I could potentially include if any armys still use similar tactics) and death guard as some of the fallen have aligned with them since, however thats far too deformed and spikey for my aesthetic iv got going. What other Legions have the fallen paired with, that would make sense, Alpha perhaps?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10805735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10805735.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10807801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10807801.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10813275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10813275.page GMT
If playing them as a full battle-force rather than just a detachment in a chaos soup army I would advise simply using Alpha Legion's rules writ large. As mentioned above, it seems to be the best legion trait for simulating sneaky marines that hide their identities from the rest of the galaxy. I ran mine as two battalions and used chaos marines as a Fallen specialist detachment to keep the visually different marines slightly different rules, but it only worked to keep the specialist detachment from gaining legion traits and stratagems.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10813608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10813608.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10815180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/788609/10815180.page GMT
