Dey seem m'sterious. Almos' lik da Blood Axes of da Orkz! Dey ain't Orky, an' Alpha Legion ain't Chaosy... I fink... I dunno... You tell me!
Legion was a good book, but much like Micheal Jordan ruined basketball Legion ruined the Alpha Legion. I tend to prefer their old role as terrorists and insurgents before they became the 'Wizard Did It' of 40k.
Seems that not many people are excited about the Alpha Legion. At least, not as many as it seems. Especially compared to the Imperial Fists.
I'm honestly a little miffed they went with Alpha Legion over something like the Red Corsairs. At this point we have five Undivided legions, three of which possibly don't even worship Chaos.
I remember just after the Crimson Slaughter supplement came out going into a GW with my Word Bearers because they had a little tournament going with a $20 coupon as a prize or something, I don't remember. As one of like two people with fully painted armies the red shirt asked if he could get some photos of my boys for the store Facebook page, I said yes and he took the photos. When I got home that night I had a look on the page to see the photos and found that he'd claimed my army was Crimson Slaughter and then used it to spruik the new supplement. I've hated Crimson Slaughter ever since then. God damn it, Founders.
I am part of the Alpha legion, AND i have the symbol on my DoW hero as well. Just not in this game yet you stinky little ork you.
