If the latter, I can't imagine many people will care, especially if you use older, heresy-era kits. Alpha legion is the most disciplined and least overtly chaos-embracing of the Legions, so the lack of spikes is not a big deal. You'll still have to obey WISYWIG though for most tournaments for equipment, so no claiming that heavy bolter is actually a reaper autocannon or the like.

If the former, you're probably going to need to give some kind of major "clues" on the models, at the least. People are not generally going to be amenable to you just running your ultramarines army as alpha legion. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10934686.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10934686.page GMT Alpha Legion without any 'Alpha Legion' - Question about conversions

Would this really be a thing of FLGS games? I know I wouldn't have much issue with it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10934736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10934736.page GMT Alpha Legion without any 'Alpha Legion' - Question about conversions
FLGS vary tremendously in terms of culture. I'm sure for some, rhinos made out of tissue boxes are acceptable, so ultramarines as alpha legion isn't going to cause any issues; for others, even running your ultramarines as salamanders may be frowned upon. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10934749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10934749.page GMT Re:Alpha Legion without any 'Alpha Legion' - Question about conversions
Personally, I'd be cool with it specifically because it's Alpha Legion, but for tournaments I would expect you'd need to represent it with an appropriate paint job.

...if you plan on using Space Marine models to run the Space Marine Codex, but just painted as Alpha Legion? ...I don't see any issue with that at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10935026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10935026.page GMT Re:Alpha Legion without any 'Alpha Legion' - Question about conversions AL models that are loyalist Marines painted with an AL color scheme.

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10938357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10938357.page GMT Alpha Legion without any 'Alpha Legion' - Question about conversions AL with loyalist rules? Your post was not very understandable on this regard.

But my answer is going to be the same. Most tourneys are going to be WYSIWYG. Most tourneys will not allow "counts as" armys.

Then theres the whole problem of running into wierdos like me who are going to be triggered beyond measure that you are putting loyalists into a VERY chaos legion.

Once more. Because Im weird. The AL do not house loyalists. You cannot pretend to be a chaos worshipper. Its a black and white thing. And the AL, while not dedicated to a god, make much use of chaos and its gifts.

There, got that low grade autism out. Sorry.

So I'm building an Alpha Legion army and would it be acceptable to build the list with only Space Marines and no Chaos Space Marines? I'm looking for a general feel. Would that be acceptable in a tournament?

My entire army is horus heresy "loyal" marines. I think I have one chaos model, a sorcerer, because he looked cool. The rest are all run as their chaos equivalent, i.e my devastators are havocs, etc. Paint them with a cool paint job and no one will care. Alpha Legion are very believable to have completely spurned chaos, there's two books I can think of off the top of my head where the warband refuses to worship gods entirely, and instead just rely on each other. Others do worship chaos of course, that's alpha legion for you. It wouldn't be all that odd to see them in normal armor and no mutations. Just make sure they're painted to look alpha legion in some way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10942975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10942975.page GMT Alpha Legion without any 'Alpha Legion' - Question about conversions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10943522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792284/10943522.page GMT
