Legions Imperialis: Choosing Your Alliances

Today I want to touch on army creation from the perspective of alliances. Legions Imperialis, due to its scale and its scope, really encourages armies made up of multiple factions. And while I think there will be some players that form armies entirely from one Legion, I think the majority of players will be looking to create more diverse forces.
There’s plenty of benefits of forming multi-factional armies, from a lore, hobby and gameplay perspective. I wanted to put together a video that presented a bunch of potential ideas for Legions Imperialis armies, giving players inspiration on which forces they could be allying to bring the lore of the Heresy to life, and to pack a punch on the table. Enjoy!

Nice video, but I think you may have misunderstood the army building rules for Legiones Astartes. If you’re running an Astartes army, your primary army list is Legiones Astartes, not any particular Legion. Each Formation can be any Legion and it’s all part of your primary army. The allies would be Solar Auxilia and Knights/Titans. This makes the Emperor’s Children ability way better, because you can take a single min-size formation in any Astartes army and get the full power of the trait.

Really???? That's wild. I'll have another read.

@warhq 7 месяцев назад

Yep, each formation can be a different legion. The 30% allies is knights, titans, solar

So everyone will take Emperor's Children formation. That's not lore friendly or fun. It sounds like an oversight.

keep in mind the vanguard slot in the aerial assault detachment was removed in the recent FAQ so you will be able to use it with what we have available now

I’ve just built an all-four-Legions Isstvan III list set right after the virus bombs have dispersed - huge World Eaters infantry and walkers detachment, min strength EC and DG as garrisons, them being the two to build up fort on the surface. Then a SoH armoured company representing the frustrated Horus sending in the big guns to begrudgingly support Angron. Plus an Audax Warhound or two. Very fluffy and get all the fun rules as as others have pointed out, main faction is Astartes and you get all the bonuses!

@blackbriargaming5483 7 месяцев назад

Love it!! Soooo many great bonuses!

I was worried at a glance of the title, that this video would be all about how to take advantage of good combinations of Legions. I'm really glad at what it turned out to be. I will most likely do an entirely Iron Hands force, however as with my 28mm army, I'm interested in splashing in an Alpha Legion Formation due to the metallic schemes I use working well together visually. I'll definitely be using Mechanicum with my Iron Hands, the instant that opportunity arises. I'm very keen to Ally in some Solar Auxilia though, as the silver infantry will look great alongside the Iron Hands, and casually sacrificing hordes of human infantry seems very callous and Iron Hand-y.

@blackbriargaming5483 7 месяцев назад

Are they loyalist alpha legions or traitorous iron hands!?! Or you could go with Alpha Legion pretending to be Iron Hands!!
