    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.

      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.

    Istvaan III is my favorite Campaign from the HH. 4 cool Legions, Titans & a few Legio Cybernetica.
    Im starting off with Emperors Children on my table with SoH to follow.
    Cheers.

    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!

    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.
