Using the Ordo Xenos

[OrdoXenos]

Yo all 40ker's! so im new to this sight, but long time gamer, and was just dropping the question if there are any gamers playing an Alienhunter/Ordo Xenos army out there? id like to compare tactics and how to put together the army.

Welcome to LO!!!! hope you enjoy your stay!

Alien hunters will probably be hard to find in any forum, but i'm sure if you really look around and search you'll eventually find someone.

Meanwhile, enjoy the site!!!

[OrdoXenos]

Yeah, well anything on the Ordo Xenos has been hard to find, so ive basically had to do a more or less "counts as" army, but i think it works. Its a radical inquisitor, lots of strmtrps and merc Kroot

[Vanilla_Dice]

sounds quite interesting.

Look to one of the clans on here called "order of the shadowy flame", those guys all have obscure and stranger armies than normal.

[OrdoXenos]

Thanks man, but im not exactly a computer literate guy, so wear do i go for clans?

LOST rocks!! John Locke!!

[Vanilla_Dice]

go to the forums page and click on "clubs and clans" then scroll down till you find "order of the shadowy flame"

Or just follow this link (if it works)

There are rules for the deathwatch kill team on the warhammer offical website. That is an HQ w/ veterans and a captain or libriarian, special ammo.
Or do a SM army w/ the inqusition as allies. Looks like you can take the max unit choices from both armies. So 0-1 elite of witchhunters and 0-1 elite of demon hunters (maybe). You can add the deathwatch squad and put individual deathwatch members in various squads.
Then like OrdoXenos said you can have the witch/demon hunters "count as" alien hunters, or just treat them as temporarly assigned to xenos.

How can ordo xenos use kroot? Isnt that blashpemous? Do they "count as" something else?

[OrdoXenos]

Thats the unique part of my army. The kroot grow and evolve by eating other creatures. Humans are the only race "capable" of worshipping the emperor. So heres the story. My Inquisitor lord man, was originally very puritain, but then found this tribe of kroot fighting on a deathworld, which had been eating traito gaurd or some revolution faction, they had developed a much more human like mind capacity and their physical feature resembled humans more (flesh paint job). So this inquistor threw co=aution to the wind and outfitted them with imperial equipment, and started teaching them imperial dogma, in essence converting them to the Imperial faith. The kroot are now fanatics of the Emperor, serving as assasins in his name. Though there not technially legal in a sense, i figure the ordo xenos is against the alien mindset, not pyhsic, so if the alien grew to follow the empero, why wouldn't they let them fight?

[Vanilla_Dice]

This is all well and good fluff/story wise. (in fact i do remember reading the novel 'crusade for armageddon' which had a kroot merc working for the inquisition)

But i'm 'pretty sure' that this wouldn't come under anything for a legal army if you brought it to the table top. Someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.:shifty:

[OrdoXenos]

Wel, thats what i was thinking at first, but the kroot merc list is ok, by tournament rule, and the daemonhunter, which is the list i use to represent the ordo xenos guys in my army, is allowed to have them so i figure im good, but i dont know, could be wrong....

At first I would think no, but in some of the novels Xenos has worked with eldar and used alien technology (a hrud melta-pistol was one). They would be considered radicals for many puritan xenos hunters would suspect the alien allies and technology would infect the inquistitor, tainting him and his retinue. Though the aren't branded enemies of the imperium yet they are trudging on dangerous ground. But then again "radicalism is inevitable... [its how much good you can do before you go too far]" -ravenor.
