With the release of the Traitor Legion supplement for CSM, I'm thinking about dedicating my 1500 or so points of grey plastic CSM to Alpha Legion. Mostly because the models I have would be a good foundation for AL (2x CSM from Dark Vengeance, 1x Chaos stuff from Execution Force board game and one random box of CSM Tactical Marines). I figure this is a good starting point for AL, per the new rules, since Chosen are taken as troops, and Chosen, Cultists and regular marines all gain infiltrate. That and also because Alpha Legion is awesome.
So, my question, purely from a fluff stand point: Does it not make sense for 40k Alpha Legion to have daemonic type units? I know the fluff is suspect at best, but since they did not flee to, nor reside in the Eye of Terror, would it not make sense for an Alpha Legion to be made up of Maulerfiends, Hell Drakes, Defilers, Daemon Princes, and all the other chaos-y mutated stuff? Again, purely from a fluff point of view.
Further, if I did go this way of constructing a CSM Alpha Legion army, would I be limiting myself too much by avoiding these types of units?
Just wanted to throw this out there. Appreciate any thoughts folks might have.
