      The Outer Circle The Outer Circle occasionally I get videos on my phone app where there's blank video. Also what does etched brass do?.

    • @TheOuterCircle
      @TheOuterCircle  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Etched brass is acid-etched metal with symbols on it. As for the blank video, that's not us, that's the app.

      The Outer Circle do you use them like gw decals or just glue them on flat surfaces?

      They're pieces of brass, you glue and paint them just like any other piece of the model.

    The saboteur synergises nicely with dynats rule about the enemy deployment zone. For me in large games its a great take if you can get lucky against a large tank with that its a great turn for you and if you don't bc its a large game your not down that many points and you might be able to kill stuff as long as you keep your opponent occupied with other threats
    Headhunters work if you give them combi meltas and you chose tank hunter as your mutable tactics, they lost their preferred enemy but they gain it from Alpharius. Its all about synergy with these guys a unit isnt powerful on its own but together we are Alpharius

      @TH-zb7sh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would also add that having the Cbeam on the termies means once they've secured their objective or otherwise find themselves out on a limb, they can get a shot at something at range and continue to pose a threat over a distance. It gets a lot of bad press as a termies weapon but on a couple of occasions I've managed to take out nice armour over distance and people overlook it's danger value.

    Hey, I know this isn’t the mechanicum video but I gotta ask... Is it ok to run skittarri rangers as Dark mechanicum tech-thralls? Also is it ok to convert Dark angle chapter veterans from 40k into Word Bearers legion veterans?
    Thanks if you ever answer this and thanks for the cool uploads.

    • @TheOuterCircle

      It's a very expensive way to run tech-thralls, but sure.

      Pekka Vilmunen that was how I started out building my RG but I realised I was closing off a lot powerful options in bit units and tactics.

    I am thinking for Alpha as allies (allied to Mechanicus) : legion centurion forge lord on jetbike, heavy support 1-3 Arquitor Bombard, troops though?, just a Breacher Squad as the troops choice? Any suggestions? Can an ally take a rite of war, to be able to sneak in a elite squad of anything? Lol.

    Wait, if nothing has been FAQed thus far, does this mean I can legally have Gal Vorbak and Custodes Allies in the same army using the Coils of The Hydra RoW?
    I believe the allied restrictions only applied to other Legions but not the Mechanicum, Imperial army or Agents of the Imperium. Though it would be hilarious to legally have Possessed Chaos Space Marines and Custodes in a Loyalist army.

    Love the legion but in the books they are over shadowed by all other traitor legions. There turning was very very poorly written and doesn't correlate with the setting....believing xenos over there loyalties to the emperor. Hope they make them epic with a continual inter legion civil war continuing until today. This would explain why sometimes they hinder chaos and others aids them.

      If you read the later short stories involving the Alpha Legion it is pretty obvious that the Alpha Legion trick the Cabal into believing the Alpha Legion to be an ally while the legion goes off to pursue its own objectives. Omegon is pretty much confirmed to be loyal to the Emperor, while Alpharius' loyalties remain more uncertain and more likely on the side of Chaos.
