If not then none of the other legions has the ability to fight the top tier Star fortress + a Legion fleet even if they have more or better piloted ships.
Option 2: Run a primarily guard army that is protected by a Legion of the Damned vanguard.
I'm thinking Raven Guard rules based on the lore I've read. All of these gives them a massive advantage outside of a direct fight.Ī big question is what equipment does each Legion have for the ground fight? I'd imagine no ships in orbit but do they also have things like Thunderhawks and Stormbirds?įor space the Imperial fists win simply because of the Phalanx unless were counting the Ultimar fleets as they are under the direct control of the Ultramarines. Option 1: Convert some regular space marines and use the chapter tactics from an existing rule set that seem the most fluffy for Legion of the Damned. The Raven guard can use their stealth to conduct repeated hit and runs for weeks or the Imperial fists/Iron warriors have the time to construct defences, the Thousand sons can probably set up a large scale psychic ritual. Outside of him I'm going to say Magnus, he's got the best destruction feats and even when Russ the anti-psyker primarch fought him, decked head to toe in anti-psyker gear, he still almost lost except for a lucky shot.īest Legion is also a difficult question, numbers alone means Ultramarines have a wide advantage but fighting across the entire eastern US gives a lot of room for other legions to use their specialities. I mean peak Horus was a somewhat peer opponent to the Emperor so he obviously is the strongest.
