Whothe faithful who revere the dead (an Ecclesiarchy war-host, an Adepta Sororitas order, or a levy of believers who venerate the Legion as living relics and holy revenants rather than fearing them - the rare mortals who see the walking dead as saints of the Emperor made manifest)
Termscampaign-level alliance, and a thin one by the Legion's nature: while it holds, the faithful treat the Damned as objects of veneration and will lend aid, but the Legion neither asks for it nor stays to return it. The faithful may once per campaign phase send an offering - a sum of credits, or a one-battle Willpower blessing against sorcery - to a Legion battle; in exchange the Damned, when they happen to fight near the faithful's ground, purge its enemies as they pass. The pact runs until the faithful's reverence turns to terror, or the Legion simply moves on, as the dead always do
The faithful who revere the dead are the rare mortals who see the walking dead not as horrors but as living relics — an Ecclesiarchy war-host, an order of the Adepta Sororitas, or a levy of believers who venerate the Legion as holy revenants made manifest. The alliance is a thin one, as all the Legion's bonds are. While it holds, the faithful treat the Damned as objects of veneration and will lend aid, though the Legion neither asks for it nor lingers to return it. Once per campaign phase the faithful may send an offering to a Legion battle — a sum of credits, or a one-battle Willpower blessing against sorcery; in exchange, when the Damned happen to fight near the faithful's ground, they purge its enemies as they pass. The pact runs until reverence curdles into terror, or the Legion simply moves on, as the dead always do.
The Relentless Hunteralliance
Whothe relentless hunter (the Legion's natural predator - a high-alpha, high-burst force that removes the few costly bodies before the ethereal save and the Deathless returns can matter: massed melta and plasma, an elite kill-team, a shooty gang built to delete a target in a single activation)
Termscampaign-level feud: while it holds, whenever the Legion of the Damned and the hunter are drawn against each other the hunter deploys knowing the Legion's arrival and may re-roll to remove Damned before they can return, while the Legion gains bonus Reputation for any battle in which it purges the hunter despite its opening strike. The feud persists until one force is driven from the sector - and the dead are hard to drive anywhere
The relentless hunter is the Legion's natural predator — a high-alpha, high-burst force built to remove the few costly bodies before the ethereal save and the Deathless returns can matter: massed melta and plasma, a shooting gang made to delete a target in a single activation, an elite strike element that hits once and hits hard. The relationship is a feud, not a friendship. While it holds, whenever the Legion of the Damned and the hunter are drawn against one another the hunter deploys knowing the dead are coming and may re-roll to remove Damned before they can return, while the Legion earns bonus Reputation for any battle in which it purges the hunter despite the alpha-strike. The feud persists until one force is driven from the sector — and the dead are hard to drive anywhere.
