Man I love these 'Thematic Lists' videos. A big part of my hobby is theorycrafting lists (doesn't matter if I own the army), its gives me alot more enjoyment than putting the little bastards together and even painting them often.
This video just totally reinvigorated my Alpha Legion love. I’ve got a whole HH army built that never got round to being painted. Of course, use them as CSM!
The Tempestus Command Squad idea is a really good one, love it. Not a huge fan of the assault intercessor chosen, tho that's probably because at one point I had 25 of the buggers in my space marine army and they do not feel special to me.
Since this is a place where people are looking to run an alpha legion force with the new detachment, I was wondering if everyone was running more infantry focused versions like this Chaos Lord (90pts): Warlord, Daemon hammer, Plasma pistol Chaos Lord (90pts): Daemon hammer, Plasma pistol 5x Dark Commune (65pts) Master of Executions (90pts): Axe of dismemberment, Bolt pistol, Cursed Fang Master of Executions (85pts): Axe of dismemberment, Bolt pistol, Soul Link Master of Executions (80pts): Axe of dismemberment, Bolt pistol Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (105pts): Chaos Familiar, Force weapon, Infernal Gaze, Shroud of Obfuscation, Combi-weapon 20x Cultist Mob (100pts) 20x Cultist Mob (100pts) 10x Cultist Mob (50pts) 5x Legionaries (80pts) 5x Legionaries (80pts) 5x Legionaries (80pts) 5x Legionaries (80pts) 5x Legionaries (80pts) 5x Legionaries (80pts) 5x Havocs (120pts) 5x Havocs (120pts) 10x Warp Talons (220pts) Helbrute (130pts): Close combat weapon, Helbrute fist with heavy flamer, Heavy flamer, Helbrute fist, Helbrute plasma cannon Chaos Rhino (75pts): Armoured tracks, Combi-bolter, Havoc launcher, Combi-bolter
I good idea for kit-bashing for Alpha Legion Plague Marines is to kit-bash them with legionaries so they look like an Alpha Legion Destroyer squad…you like?
Hobby Time: don’t be lazy and proxy Primaris like a boor. Get some Mk4 bodies and some alpha legion bits and boom, chosen. Alternatively, the AL HH kill team upgrade. Can even covert quasi corrupted legionaries with Mk4 bodies and 40k CSM bits, since 60% of AL artwork for 40k is hardly spike covered marines. Get a heresy assault squad, boom, raptors. Full squad of 10 in a box. Instant non-lazy hobby time, and probably saving money if you don’t go with the HH alpha legion kill team upgrade. Net yourself 20 bodies for marginally more money than a single box of 10 or 5 CSM regardless of being legionaries or raptors. And no Primaris! Keep that shit out of CSM
That's awesome! 0_0 As a Sisters of Battle player, I'm seriously tempted to get some Alpha Legion allies (-is that right? 0_o) and build towards this list. The only thing I'd add is a 'Hobby time' suggestion of using Cordor gangers from Necromunda as the cultists instead of the normal chaos cultists as I think they are closer to the Alpha Legion aesthetic, especially if they where painted in Alpha legion colours. Again this would go well with using loyalist models in place of chaos ones as has been suggested for the rest of the list. I think using Tempestus Scions as a Alpha legion Dark Commune is brilliant!
Good question. Likely AoS kits will yield something. It will be a matter of seeing which units scale to the DP size, as it may be the case that most of AoS' dragons are considerably larger. I wonder if a any of the Idoneth characters which are mounted on sea beasts could work. Though it would give that DP an aquatic bend... Though maybe that 's remedied with a bit of conversion/kitbash.
@@WhatThe40k I looked at the storm cast dragons and I like them, I’m also looking for 3rd party dragon themed shoulder pads, helmet, and backpack for my Dragon Lords homebrew chapter master
It's a lame answer, but it will depend on the invidiuals you are playing with. In some cases players may prefer just using legends units over counting legends units as standard ones. And in some cases the inverse will be true.
I just have 1 question about sicaran venator. since its in legends are people going to be okay with playing against me if I run it or not. I dont play irl since its not popular in my country but iam planning on playing on tts.
🤣🤣 So true! I find it absurd primaris marines cannot fit into Rhinos but 10 bloated plague marines or 10 muscle bound berzerkers can go into them no problem. 🙄
@@WhatThe40k I know man but I think it’s a balance think. Think about it. The Rino is ‘The’ cheep disposable space marine transport. It can hold up to 12 models. Un like the Impulser with h can hold 6 and hade a abilities to make up for the lack of space. A rino has nothing to balance around. It is just a box with 12 slots. Everyone talks about how blade gaurd are held back by the fact that you can’t take a full squad with a character in the impulsor. With a rino you can get full blade gaurd with charecter/s and then som.
I am proud to know that there is another fellow brother In this world who isn’t putting alpha Legion list together with the biggest douche ever Abaddon..
One thing that messes with making csm lists is the change and reduction in wargear options from 8th. But youve done well, making lists feel like the legion is a pain. Plus HH kits are a win!
Not big fan of cultist when we have more professional the traitor guardsmen and traitor commisar while they don't capping the objective but their ability to deny battleshock at cost of a model and has more weapons profile to support the Legionaries
"Hydras are proud creatures. They prefer to hunt alone." -Alpha Legion Chaos Lord, probably.
How did I never make the connection between Alpha Legion and Ocelot?
Any list with HH units is a good list. Really wish there was a unit with snipers for Alpha Legion...
I was hoping mentioning them in the Harrowmaster book was a suggestion that they were coming to 40k

ALPHA LEGION SUPREMACY WE IN YO VOX WE IN YO CHAPTER
I want to see this in a battle report.
Hydra Dominatus! My second favorite Traitor legion with the first being the Iron Warrior. After all, We are all Alpharius.
This video just totally reinvigorated my Alpha Legion love. I’ve got a whole HH army built that never got round to being painted. Of course, use them as CSM!
If there were a single Legion that should be allowed to take Horus Heresy units, it would be the Alpha Legion.
I would die if we got a Crimson Slaughter thematic list build
While the Word Bearers got the short stick this edition, the Alpha Legion seems to have received very good and lore inspired rules.
Another amazing video brother , keep up the inspiring work ❤👏🔥

I love you WhatThe40k, more theme lists please!!
Maybe some GSC with the new codex?
This looks like a brütal set up and can easily mob and overrun objectives for sure

Would love to see a Raptors list if possible
Space wolves next good sir?

Hey got any ideas for a dragon themed Daemon Prince conversion/kitbash?

@@WhatThe40k also like my idea for kitbashing some alpha legion plague marines as alpha legion destroyers?
Another amazing video brother ❤🔥💪
Let it be known that HH alpharius model as a 40mm base
Got my hopes up it was 30k lol
Would probably be better in 30k tbh 😂
Wait a minute, how'd they get here so fast?!
You know, Alphas could easily be run with the HH models?
So could I use 30 K tanks and people won’t get mad?

CSM and Ork detachments have regular marine detachments tasting like cardboard

Most won’t mind. Just don’t take it to a match play tournament.

Aren't siccarans legends?
What would be a good alternative?
I think so. I cant find them in the codex
I disagree with using Mark X armor for any chaos armies, even Alpha Legion. Also aren't Sicaren's legends vehicles?
That's a-okay 👌 and yes, Sicarens are legends.

wait until the codex then he will do faction in question
