The Assassinorum game was marketed with 'NEW ASSASSINS! BUT ONLY IF YOU BUY THIS SHITTY GAME TOO MOTHERFUCKERS!' Or how they put Chaos Cultists, which had been asked for by Chaos players for well over a decade, exclusively in the Dark Vengeance box.

They've always know they have a hardcore fanbase they can push 'limited edition' or 'exclusive' boxed sets with a ton of superfluous shit on. I think they already knew people would be buying it for the MkIVs, Cataphractii and Contemptors, given how popular the FW versions were. Hell, with some luck they fail their Fear tests too. Infiltrate as close as possible, shoot my volkites, and hopefully outnumber them in melee for that awesome +1 to wound on models with Preferred Enemy and 2 attacks base. I just play the way any Night Lord should.

>What is your secret tech for your lists?ĭon't really have much tech. Alpharius popping out of nowhere to confront Alpharius, reserves being swapped all over the place, all that good shit. I would pay cash money to see two of them face each other. And even though I don't play Alpha Legion, Coils of the Hydra with Alpharius is fucking hilarious. But Pride of the Legion Terminator lists are always fun. Obviously Terror Assault for that sweet, sweet 'fuck your shit, you get one turn of shooting and I have a 3+ cover save' dickery. Vindicator are with thudd and rapier one of the best firepower you'll get. (Pride of the legions makes your deepstriking Terminator and Veterans troop) Look at each rite of war and decide what you want. Your specific legion rite of war requires 3 squads terror squads, a unit specialized on fear and munching infantry, giving you the benefit of easier and longer nightfighting, more terror and droppods everywhere. You do need some troops choices so you need 20-40 more guys (I go with 20 tactical +apothecary each) unless you play some rite of war (like a special formation) where you might need less.

If you were to run blobs you need to infiltrate them with your legion tactics.īut for coils you also need a third compulisinary troop choice.Īlso you are not forced to use the legions rite of war Alpha Legion is also really good with the vanilla one.Īlso coils of the Hydra gaina much by stealing specific shit from other legions.
