Codex: Alpha Legion Discussion, Help us make our very own codex

Xaigion, have you been sneaking around High Command recently, rifling through classified documents?

I've actually been asking a few individuals to complete some sections of the WIP Codex for reasons why other Codexes should also be used. If you wouldn't mind going through the 'counts as' thread and compliing a coherent article about the use of counts as is a 'normal' C:CSM army, then we can insert it into the WIP codex.

If any one else want to create a small article as to why they use one particular list over all others, I will certainly look at including it - bear in mind though, all articles will be subject to editing, alteration or even explusion at my own discression.

Well placed Alpha++ psykers. All im going to say.

what weve begun to do is pimp the stats of space marines and chaos space marines to represent the fact that they are super humans with hundreds of years of experience, and increased the points cost, decrease the squad numbers and allow them to use imperial guard, and then done the same for the Chaos.
of course that is pretty radical changing going on, but it makes for fun fluffy games.

I think that sounds neat for friendly games but I can just hear the cries of cheese. I like the idea of being able to easily incorporate IG and what not.

I haven't been too sure what I was going to write up. We have a thread discussing count as ideas but I was also waiting for other peoples ideas, if they have/use any.

Also , this may be a bit of a throw back but..... The eldar have a HQ that allows them a nasty little ability we have discussed here. The master strategist ability allows them to add 1 to their reserve rolls. Nothing special about the unit, just an hq.

As far as maybe fluffing the ability and the fact that the eldar have it? Well we did/are working with the cabal, which means we could have learned some of their tactics. There are eldar in the cabal so it could have been passed down that way.
