Alignment question

Let's assume that both my front rotors are warped and the pads are near-dead. If I get an alignment while the junky front brakes are installed, will I need another alignment after replacing the rotors and pads?

Not unless they're warped so bad the entire car violently shakes during normal driving with the brake off. Even if it was that bad, I think it would have a negligible impact on the alignment settings.

The two are not related. Plus alignment is set with the vehicle stationary, so what it does when moving doesn't affect the alignment. However a bad alignment can cause vehicle problems when moving.

So short answer, NO.
