List Summary: This is a very static list. In the book 3 extermination it states that the Alpha Legion liked to send ahead non legion units before they cleaned up the mess. This is indicated in the mechanicum detachment. I have not used the rite of war in this occasion to use another legion's unit but I will be taking advantage of this in my own forces.....
