Sooo /hhg/ i have read the first few heresy books about loken, and istavaan, and the einstein and the like. I enjoy it, but now Loken is gone, is it worth reading the rest? I enjoyed seeing pre murder boner Sigsmund and dorn (since i play imp fists in 40k) but i hear terrible, terrible things about the series as a whole.

I know /tv/ occasionally does prefered watching lists of episodes for tv shows they like as a whole, but not every episode. Is there a prefered reading list you all have? Im still kinda new to the 30k setting though, but know 40k pretty well, so what can i read to enjoy and educate on the lore.

I want to end him. It's become a desire I near on dream about. To cast the old false king from his rusted throne. In the back of my mind I can't help but feel the thought pulse across my psyche 'Death to the False Empereor.'
The Legions were made to cast down the Tyrants of the Old Night. Well, we missed one brothers. Let us correct our mistake.

In no particular order, I would recommend not missing:
>First Heretic
>Betrayer
>A Thousand Sons
>the entire white scars storyline, but definitely Scars & Path Of Heaven
>Know No Fear
That should keep you busy. While Vengeful Spirit is important plot-wise, you may want to give it a miss, though I can't tell you why.

Also, the short story compilations are generally excellent, and give a good feel for the various legions and state of the galaxy. The other bonus is, if you do get a story that isn't very good, it'll be over soon being, you know, short.

The one author to always, ALWAYS, avoid, is Nick Kyme. Just don't read anything with his name on. Trust me.

Mankind had 30000+ years to better itself, but the moment warp travel was shut off, they were helpess against the horrors of the galaxy, and all their technology proved insufficient and was lost.
Mankind must evolve and become its master with its connection to the warp (or sever it), rather than be enslaved by it. That was His dread. You have ruined humanity and cast your lot with the dark powers of the universe. We shall protect that dream.

Pretty much what >>53131437 said.

You may want to listen to the Garro audiobook for a surprise, followed by the short story Luna Mendax and then Vengeful Spirit. They aren't top-tier but you'll find them interesting.

I personally liked Fulgrim and Angel Exterminatus in addition to the previous recommendations. Tallarn: Executationer was good too but I haven't read all the Tallarn books yet. Praetorian of Dorn is mostly good, and Master of Mankind is too important not to read. Oh, and if you play IF read The Crimson Fist too.

The Imperium Secundus arc is a weak spot and a source of a lot of negativity about the series. Mixed reviews on the Dark Angels books

Thank you! I feel so many people skip over the anthologies, when in total they account for over a third of the series, much more if you subtract off Nick Kyme and Ben Counter's garbage. I especially feel the later anthologies have been excellent and really tied together a lot of the weaker elements of novels. I can't imagine someone going into Vengeful Spirit without having read Daemonology.

By the way, is there a limit on how many units may be placed in Reserves?
You see, Tercios are stated to count as a single unit if held in reserves (like Dread talons), so they could be great with a Legate Commander picking the 3-units-infiltrate WT.
I was thinking that Outflanking Vanquishers would help against Flare shielded stuff, and supported by Vindicator Dracosans carrying axemen and flamer squads they would do an alright pincer maneuvre.
And then you add Malcador Infernus and Russes as an anvil, or longrifle infantry in Dedicated Forts with Artillery and Rapier support...
I don't know, it could be fun.
Or the 2+/3++ Legate Commander picking EW as his trait and chopping a multiwound HQ's head with a Paragon Blade and Machinator array...
Could make up the fact you can only bring up to 6 plasma rifles in a full force.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class among the Knight Cadets, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Ael-dari, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in night warfare and I’m the top baron in the entire exalted court. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with glorious honor the likes of which has never been seen before in this Imperium, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Servitornet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of freeblades across the Segmentum and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my Reaper Chainsword. Not only am I extensively trained in giant robot combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Imperial Knights Codex and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>53133479
Everything is walking, though the 'spare points' I have set aside are specifically for things like Transponders, or other gear that would be useful depending on the circumstances of the game and what I'm facing.

>>53133488
I'm thinking of putting some AP2 weapons in with my Hetaeron (still crossing my fingers for a weapons pack, so that I can make them largely unique with their weapons). And maybe some Adrathic or Pythrite spears in with my 5-man Custodes squads.

As for the Sisters, I'd always planned to include a squad of 10, or two of 5, until I was reminded that you need a Sisters HQ if you want to take Sisters units. And at that point I'd already fit them nicely into my army's background that I wasn't going to drop them entirely.


Since the only shit I have put together right now is 10 Custodian Guard, with the Sentinel Guard up next on the assembly line (between them and the Vexilla, I'll have 15 spears to choose from, for 8 Custodians), I have plenty of time to figure out exactly what I'm going to put on the Elites and HQ's.

The Laer were an alien race, not a type of daemon. They had been encountered by the Imperium on numerous occasions before, and were at one point considered as possible vassals. Unfortunately, their culture was big on worshipping the Dark Prince. I've always pictured them vaguely like the DEldar mercenary race, the Sslyth, but with bug heads, body mods galore, and no two looking exactly alike..

I 'm having serious difficulty deciding between starting a Mechanicum or Auxillia army, I just love both their aesthetics so much. Any advice on their relative strengths and weaknesses to each other? What would be a good few units/models to start collecting for them?

>>53135681
They certainly had an effect. Because they had been carrying out a massive ritual orgy to Slaanesh at the time Fulgrim finally took the capital, him and all of his Marines were subtly influenced by Slaanesh and corrupted. Because of the Laer's constant drive for perfection, Fulgrim and those affected within the EC sought to imitate the Laer, reasoning that it was perfectly normal to imitate them.

>>53135729
Which part of the Mechanicum appeals to you? They're really very different from each other, and while they used to all use the Triaros transport, you now have the option of the Macroarid Explorator or, in some cases, the Arvus Lighter.

Meanwhile, Solar Auxilia are pretty uniform. You'd better like Dracosans.

I think it's more fun to play against and look at Solar Auxilia than Secutarii, but if you're into Cybernetica then it's a tough call. They're so very different. Do both!

>>53136043
>Which part of the Mechanicum appeals to you?
I'm a sucker for giant robots. I love the look of the thallax, the thanatar, and I'd like to have some kinda knight to center-piece them. Inversely, the look of the Auxillia command squad seems too appealing not to get and paint up regardless, and there's something about 40 die-hard badasses with poweraxes that makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

Is there any playstyle for either that seems fun (is there a playstyle the community thinks is WAACy)? I've got like 1.5 people I could play with so I'm lookin mostly for a fluffy/interesting army.

>Do both!
were it so easy...

>>53136254
>good playstyles
Boopchanicum is really tricky, because it sits right on the balance of being very fun to play with/against or being a total bullshit shitstorm no one ever likes. But that's true for Mechanicum as a whole, Secutarii, Reductor, really anything is only as cool or douchey as you make it.

Honestly, it's the same deal with SA.

Awww. It's too expenssive anyway.

>>53136254
Cybernetica armies are "extreme" in the same way as an all-jetbike or all-tank army; a good chunk of a normal army will be pretty useless against them, especially if you're taking 3+ thanatars and a couple of knights. In other words, try to take some human-like units (Thralls) alongside midsized robots (e.g. Castellax) and a limited number of the really big things.

People get salty if you take multiple Vulturaxes or Krios Venators too. With Solar Auxilia, it's the Malcador Infernus that has that effect. Even more so, actually, because some people will take issue with taking even a single one (I think one's fine, personally, but stop there).

>>53136508
>people get mad at multiple krios venators
That's a joke, right? Aside from effectively front AV14, the gun is 4 godamn lascannons tied together. Like seriously nogger everyone else can take twin-linked S9 AP1 cannons for cheaper

>>53136613
I may have confused it with the normal Krios. One of the two.

>>53136613
But what else can take squadrons of four-shot ORDNANCE lascannons with av14 fronts that are scoring? They're certainly no malcador infernus, but for a general-purpose tank they're pretty good, and miles better than a predator

They are doing nothing with it, only Omegon knows about it as all personnel involved was lost in the mission and Alpharius is dead. So the AL either have a bunch of NuMarines hidden and they never use them OR Alpharius Omegon returned or destroyed the information.

Kinda sorta. For the most part, Legions were actively using MkIIs up to that point. MkIIIs were developed, and requisitioned, as heavy duty/assault suits. They had better frontal protection, but as a result were also slower than other suits. As a result, Legions that value such traits have tons of MkIIIs (i.e. IW, IH, IF, SW), while others only got a few and used them for specialty purposes like weapon squads or breachers (i.e. RG, EC, WS). Unlike MkIII, MkIV was meant to be a general-use type of suit, so it was meant to replace the older MkII entirely as the new base-line.

But then Horus went and got corrupted on Davin and had the majority of the MkIV production lines ear-marked for his best friends, and not the Loyalist legions.

Is this hard to get into? I've heard people saying it's a really expensive hobby to get into, how expensive really? Like do I really need to buy 500 bucks models? Where do you buy them? do I stick with GW's official site? or are Amazon or eBay better?
Also when people play WH40k do they buy models of several factions or just stick to one? Because I couldn't give less of a shit about any other but Orks, maybe something that has to do with Khorne, dunno, I just love fucking shit up man.

Ok, I have 30 MKIV, 10 MKIII, and 10 MKII Marines ready to build. Should I just mix armor marks into a squad as whole Marines, keep them in individual squads, or mix the parts 100% through the force? I'm not really sure what to do and I'm worried about it looking weirdly overdone or out of place. I want them to look how they would in the middle of the Heresy.

>>53141098

Mix the MkII/III and keep the MkIV to themselves IF you are mixing them on an individual marine

You could mix armor types within a squad and even on a model, especially once the heresy progresses, but it rarely looks good.

Why are marines portrayed in the fluff as badass demigod supermen when they're only marginally better than standard human soldiers on the tabletop?

>>53137652
Depends on the exact wording of the rule.

Lets say a squad has a sarge and 5 mooks (6 models total) and the rule says 'one in three models may take a power weapon' and another says 'the sarge may take a power weapon', then you can have 3 power weapons in the squad, one on the sarge and two mooks get one too.

If the rules were to say 'one in three mooks may take a power weapon' and the other says 'the sarge may take a power weapon', then you can only have two in the squad unless you add another mook.

>>53141840
because fluff doesn't equal crunch you newfag

>>53141903
I've always wondered why only the Marines and the Custodes get to benefit from that in 30k. Militia and Auxilia tanks have tiny ranges because game, Admech, and Militia never gets their armies massively increased in fluff discussions because they have the numbers to bog down the movie marines, but somehow Ceramite becomes a General Products Hull and that WB tactical I painted to test the scheme can take apart an entire War Covenant with a fork. I thought they were supposed to be worse in 30k because there's three times as many of them and they fight like proper armies to an extent?

>>53142110
I don't really understand what you are saying other than the first and last sentences but marines are the company poster boys, the focus of the Horus Heresy and the most popular army so they will obviously be getting a lot of support.

Custodes are marines+, while they may not have the same numbers of fans their power level is pretty well established.

Admech can be a very powerful army without too much effort and are quite well represented from shitty pleb soldiers all the way up to massive war machines and super powered magos.

Auxilia can also produce a good army and while they have a limited list potential they have some nice units. They have to be weaker than marines because according to the fluff they are and it wouldn't make sense to have an army of regular guys being super strong in space marines: the game.

Militia are basically a fluff army and are fairly unpopular at that, they shouldn't really be considered in power level arguments. They also have nice units and their provenances can make a nice themed army but these are the guys who spent the entire crusade and heresy being conquered and destroyed buy marine armies. I can't remember a single militia list being posted here or an pictures of models.

>>53141903
Why shouldn't crunch power levels be roughly accurate to the fluff?

>>53142316
It would be nice if things did accurately match but it's the limitations of the system. You would either have to make humans weaker so every militia and auxilia player has to buy hundreds of models or marines get stronger and every marine player owns about ten models.

Primarchs all become S:D T:10 gargantuan creatures on a 40mm base.

To keep the game manageable things had to be sacrificed, I am glad that they chose to sacrifice accurate fluff power levels rather than forcing players to roll hundreds of dice every turn or own few models.

>>53142366
It seems weird then that fluff built around crunch doesn't try to reflect it. The rules come first. If marines aren't absurd on the table why write them to be unstoppable rapemachines?

>>53142416
I'm not too familiar with the early fluff but I've heard that marines in Rogue Trader and 2e were more like strong guys wearing power armour so their stats made a bit more sense as being slightly better than regular humans. From 3e onward marines got a boost to become highly augmented transhumans while it would have been too much work to change the rules as they would have had to change the stats of everything to make sure it all made sense.

Ah, my Archmagos can take it and my Magos Reductor is hiding behind a tank anyway. Going to fuck over my Word Bearers massively, though.

>I want this very badly now

>>53144629
Sounds good. Mechanically there's no difference from a character standing in the middle of a squad unable to be shot, and a character standing in the middle of a squad (but not officially attached) unable to be shot (because the squad surrounding him will always be closer to the enemy). And anything that cuts down on deathstars is good.

Just so long as you can still put a character and a squad into a transport. If you need a separate rhino to carry a character by themselves with nine empty seats then that's a bit silly.

>>53144629
I like the idea, but how does that remove deathstars? I can still plop down a bunch of heroes next to a unit.
I guess I can't use Look out, Sir! to bounce wounds around, but otherwise it's the same.

>>53144955
Why can't you do that anymore? Your heralds can still chill with the other dudes?

>>53144955
The Heralds will now be with many squad. And the Dominus can still take the hits if he's at the forefront of the squad.

>>53145013
AoS transport rules are straightforward, just stuff in guys until the cap is reached, basically. Doesn't matter how many units that means.

So back on the massive book of things I'll never do is the Genetor Titan. I do really want to model a bio-weapon that fires something like The Cloud from Fallout, though. Malcador Infernus Krios chassis edition? Can we even take those? Maybe some kind of Acheron gun replacement, or a counts-as Saturnyne Lascutter or Mori-Quake cannon. Been reading about the really old Titan fluff, 1d4chan claims there was a discontinued Imperator with an aircraft carrier back, but I can't find it anywhere.

... This is what happens when people give me too much free time. I get one weekend away and I come back with another stupid idea.

>>53145051
Seconded. How does this invalidates deathstars? If anything, with the improved transport rules now they'll be even worse

The idea is that the Tzeench herald and Zardu's Gal Vorbak stick behind the lesser Daemon screens and take their time making more Heralds and buffing the invulns of everyone to stop them being imploded by Bolters. No idea what to take for Compulsory Troops, although I guess 40 Zealot or S5 Tacticals isn't exactly bad.

>>53145051
>>53145140
I think they were trying to get rid of stacking special rules, since now it sounds like characters buff all units of a certain, specific type within a certain area this cannot be done unless you want to load up on those units.

For example you now cannot have a unit of guys with three attached characters that separately provide fearless, FNP and furious charge. Of course you can still get units of tough guys but they now cannot be buffed to the stratosphere by attached characters.

I am imagining more important or expensive characters will have more universal buffs, for example Sigismund might provide all templars within 6 inches +1 charge range while Dorn might provide all Imperial Fists within 6 inches Fearless or whatever.

>>53145800
If you can afford it, Dkok models would be cool. Alchem jackers and warrior elite to make em immovable. Use their engineer models w/shotguns for recon squads, grenadiers for grenadiers, heck even the Gorgon transport suits them.

>>53146497
We don't see enough Militia. You can do so many things with them, and most don't even touch 'em. I just use them for more things to turn into Genetor cannon fodder and glorious Spawn of tarpitty fast goodness. I use them to hold down units that can butcher my Levy blobs until they can get there, which does mean I've given the tarpits a tarpit. I may like Fearless cannon fodder a little much.

As for Legions, we need more Salamanders, Iron Hands and Raven Guard. I guess people don't like being smashed to bits in the second battle, which is fair enough, but they're some of the better Legions for theme and interesting paint schemes with tints and such.

>>53146497
Lorewise, Iron Warriors. That's kind of their bitter shtick

>>53146497
The raven guard and the word bearers are, if not actually looked down on, kind of pitied by a lot of the community.

I think Militia are really cool, but I have the same problem with them as I do Guard, which is a lack of tolerance for assembling and painting that many models.

>>53146497
Iron Hands

>>53147162
Are they the only legion who haven't starred in a novel? When they do show up they're always the B plot.

>>53147213
Only as side characters usually. Some short stories here and there. It's a shame.

>>53147060
Y'know, if they made the reason Monarchia happened because it was the dozenth time Malcador or the Emperor told him to cut that shit out, it would have made slightly more sense. But it's ADB, so the Emperor has to be a cunt.

Like Frankie, he’s also been part of the playtest team for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, putting in hundreds of hours to make sure this new edition will be great for all you gamers out there (Thanks Reece!).

8TH OFFICIALLY DOOMED.

>>53147321
Pretty much. I obviously like the Word Bearers, but that lore was a tad retarded even if it supported their viewpoint. Thing is, only got into them about a month ago after breezing past them a bunch after noticing how cool the models are, so I guess I have to like ADB's bullshit now.

I like to think that if I ever did a proper army of them they'd be corrupted by all the lore they had to scorch off the worlds they conquered concurrently with the rest of the Legion, so lots of Ashen Circle and such. They've realized that summoning a bunch of daemons and letting them Grey Goo the planet with warp bullshit is an extremely expedient way to fuck shit up, so you see them tearing a line through planets with an odd pattern of land, do basically nothing for a week or so then leave, and then they find there's a few hundred Heralds and their escorts in a wood somewhere steadily corrupting the place and enlarging their army. If they have to fight, it'll be with mundane forces, turned cultists and whatever daemonic reinforcements they can bring in during the battle, since they don't really stay places where there actually ARE many daemons long.

Does this sound like complete bullshit or not, I haven't ran a Legion army yet and haven't got a chance to read the WB books. What's the order to do them in?

>>53147419
We never got a proper book about the IH before Ferrus got KIA, which sucks. I'd love a book about Ferrus on Medusa. Maybe in his future primarch book hopefully.

I think the new character system to be like FW's wet dream of those little character units it loves that were previously shitty, like Krieger Medics and 30k Techmarine covens. Their only weakness was that they couldn't hide in a unit so you could shoot them to hell, and now you can't. Thus making them actually breddy good.

IH and WS for Loyalists, NL and WB on the traitor front.

WS have always had strong potential, that has never been up for debate. The problem has always been the fact that painting an entire army in white is harder than it sounds, and so is affording an army centered around 8.4 million bikers. IH on the other hand are almost non-existent. Fluffwise, GW and FW have barely touched them over the years in comparison to other Legions. In terms of actual armies, I've personally never seen an IH army in over 15 years of visiting game stores, and even seeing them online is like finding a unicorn.

NL and WB are in a slightly different boat. For the NL, they've always been something of a 'specialist' army, for that niche of people that are simultaneously edgelords and skilled at free-hand painting. They're the kind of army more people probably wouldn't mind playing, but don't have the skill to pull off properly. WB on the other hand have been frequently featured in the fluff for quite some time. However, they've also never had as much attention as the SoH, EC, DG, WE, or TS, and even among Undivided armies they don't have the same level of interest as AL (sneeki breeki memes) or IW (hazard stripes and heavy armor for days). Top it off with the fact that everyone on either side can blame them for something, they're genuinely unappreciated.

GW's LotR games are among the best they've ever written*. Well above the other flagship games and even most of the Specialist Games. Their only failing was in being a skirmish game whose players wanted Pelennor Fields and Helm's Deep all day every day.

*Provided Hobbit didn't fuck it all up.

>>53148657
That is truly gorgeous, and I didn't think anything would make that flying brick look good after seeing too many sloppily painted Stormravens.
Also, like my whale and the Titans, big planes like that work out suprisingly small.

Chaos Codex 3.5 fluff (1999):
>The Emperor was already planning to disband the [Night Lords] before the Horus Heresy made such action impossible.
>The Emperor's Children were among the units assigned to crush Horus and his rebel Chapters on Istvaan V. During a parley the legion's Primarch, Fulgrim and his highest ranking officers were corrupted by teh decadent pastimes that Horus and his Chaos worshippers offered.
New fluff spells it Isstvan, doesn't it? Also, I think older fluff has the EC on Isstvan III - I'll check after work.
>The [Thousand Sons'] sorcerers became increasingly disturbed by the degeneration of their brethren [after fleeing to the Planet of the Sorcerers] until they eventually risked undertaking the drastic Rubric of Ahriman which purged the Thousand Sons of those members that were considered 'unworthy', and which created the strangely robotic Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marines that are encountered today.
>Even before the Heresy the World Eaters were noted for their savagery and were censured by the Emperor for their use of psycho-surgery on new recruits to turn them into frothing madmen.
>In particular there seems to have been a strong mutual hatred between the Alpha Legion and the Imperial Fists as they had clashed on more than one occasion prior to the Heresy.

I have a Space Marine (1st edition Epic, 1991) rulebook and it basically has the Flight of the Eisenstein story.

The EC, DG, WE, TS, and SoH/LW (both names are used) are at Isstvan III - yep, the planet's spelled differently from the 3rd ed. codex. Captains from those "chapters", including Tarvitz, Garro, and Varren (who's wearing red) are holding a secret meeting. The plan is for Varren and his WE to seize the Eistenstein. The other 70 loyalists will take control of their own ships and give the Eistenstein space to flee before doing whatever damage they can to the fleet.

In other words, the new fluff matches the older fluff, but not the middle fluff.

Jervis Johnson is listed as the author for both books, so... looks like he didn't have a firm timeline in his head. Which is fine, this was all legends and stuff. But now that's being fleshed out, I'm glad they had a 'loremaster' to keep things straight.

To be fair, he's lost ten thousand years on the Golden Throne and is more a plot device than a person at this point.

>>53149422
He lasted way longer than over half of them, given Horus is dead and all the loyalists have not been doing anything for most of that ten millennia. He also didn't have a thousand's strong horde of superhumans to die for him until he made it to ArchMagos, nor a fuckton of hereditary privilege, and he's not fucked up yet. Cawl for Emperor M42.

There's probably at least a few Archmagi left from those times. Other than them, yes, I suspect the Mechanicus have the oldest living people by experience. Maybe there's a few who refused the new order and left with all they had, Old Mechanicum fleets championing a dead cause and a changed god. That would be badass.

I got the distinct impression in "Legion" that the Alpha Legion was at least aware of how to use the damn stuff.
They probably were not constructing the pylons, but they sure were bundling them up into clusters to manipulate the warp around them.

The DA Fallen have a greater chance of being good guys, imo.

I think it's clear that Omegon changed his mind about following the Cabal's advice - he was "loyal" but he knew that the legion's actions would mean it could never be accepted back into the Imperium. Alpharius, I think, got drunk with power and decided the legion could benefit greatly from taking down the Emperor, and if it was a painful victory for Horus then all the better for the AL.

Then Alpharius leaves the scene and we'll see what Omegon does. In old fluff, the AL mostly keep the SW away from Terra but don't participate in the Siege of Terra. In the new fluff they could have them staying away from Terra because they're starting to divorce themselves from the Traitors. Then Eskandor happens, Omegon leaves the scene, and it's a free-for-all with AL warbands doing their own thing for fun and profit.

If the twins were dedicated to letting Horus win to kill Chaos it doesn't make much sense for them to keep that shit up all the way to M41.

I like to think this way when regarding 40k era AL. They tend to be all over the place, from actually cunning, well thought out characters with their own motives and plans to further even greater objectives, to Saturday Morning Cartoon villains like the AL present in Dawn of War (i.e. METAL BOXES)

My headcanon is they may have been secret loyalists in the 31st millennium, but after 10,000 years of playing at being chaotic they're full on traitors. Chaos corruption is a literal thing in the setting, you can be corrupted just by reading certain stuff or being too close to artefacts, like it's radiation or something. So, I reckon the alpha legion flew too close to the dark sun of chaos, and fell.

Decentralised control, those are most likely individual cells acting on their last valid orders (ie. fuck shit up), rather than stuff actually controlled by the leadership of the AL.
Especially considering Alpharius is very dead (because Dorn) and Omegon is either dead at the hands of Girlyman or missing.

Much thanks, my old version (which was probably deleted at some point) was a .doc, so this is even nicer.

It devolves into a "Trying to guess what the AL is really up to" episode.

FIFY

I know some don't like them, but I feel my WB list needs some more gun to back up the 20 Ashen Circle and 10 Gal Vorbak with Daemon help and I have an elite slot free, so would a unit of Radmissile Servitors be OK? Other shooty doom unit is two Vindicators and I refuse to use rapiers.

The constant
>we are all Alpharius
memeing didn't seem to do much in the way of concealing their Primarchs.

What with all primarchs being psychic to a certain degree (some more than others), the ALs Twin Primarchs couldn't really hide from a fellow primarch, from regular marines they very likely could, but a primarch will instantly recognize the presence of another primarch.
