ALPHA LEGION - Ghost Legion | Warhammer 40k Lore

Today we elucidate the workings of the 20th Legion of the Adeptus Astartes: The Alpha Legion.
Known as the 'The Ghost Legion' during the Great Crusade, the Alpha Legion would garner a reputation as the least trustworthy of all the Adeptus Astartes.
Employing confusion, guile and misdirection as their weapons of choice; the 20th Legion would be infamous for their campaigns of espionage, trickery and subterfuge.

Also, with how much they pump the 18 Primarch's bit, and Sigma is the 18th letter... So just going from the hip.

I genuinely think Vulkan set Conrad on the path of suicide because that is what _needed_ to happen, and Curze unintentionally made Corvus the Lorgar-Stalker shadow of vengeance he is today, just as the Emps and Malc played out. It's part of Conrad's beauty, most of his shame.

The Alpha Legion doing well with the Dark Angels, Iron Hands, and Luna Wolves is not surprising. They did also have success with the Blood Angels but it was strained as they didn't communicate any of their plan but the mission was a overall success

[@themigratingcoconut562]

I was always confused about what the cabal told alpharius. We know that they were wrong because Eldrad ended up having the rest of them killed and has stated in recent lore that the fates of the aeldari and humanity are a package deal for better or for worse. So I think that he was simply naïve back then, though this time its actually good writing and understandable. From the cabal's perspective it looked as if humanity was on its way out with the outbreak of the heresy, so Eldrad figured yeah they are probably toast, but lets see if we can get this key player to do what we want before the dust settles. It is also probable that eldrad saw a real vision of the future of 40K as we know it and came to those conclusions. He being a great far-seer and all but not omniscient I think this would make sense.

[@harmmany214]

I think the cabal saw multiple outcomes, but wanted to pick the one where humanity also gets wiped out.

Ah, yes. If Marvel's Hydra had a supersoldier organization, this would be them.

To "getting murdered in the traitorous attempt to destroy the emperor will ensure I NEVER get my cover blown.. PERFECT!!"

There should be a stratagem for the Alpha legion in the game that on a certain roll, you can reveal members of the enemy army to really be Alpha legion infiltrators disguised as them.

My favorite traitor(?) Legion!!! I often find myself pondering about the hypothetical pairings of differing legions/chapters together on a dual campaign to takeover a world, and then wondering which potential pairing of 2 chapter/legion’s would be the most effective, have the highest synergy, with the best unit cohesion overall. In Leading to a successful campaign. For that reason, an Alpha Legion & Night Lord’s World Compliance Campaign is A Highly intriguing concept to me. If only i could find more lore about such an occurrence.

[@karkosgiehex]

Once upon a time, I ran a Dark Heresy game where the Alpha Legion was staying in the shadows behind an army of World Eaters. The Alphas would find targets of opportunity, utilizing the carnage of the World Eaters, so that the PCs were always wondering how many steps behind they really were. Alas for them, it became a wipe. Chaos won. Or did it?

[@jrr7031]

I like the story where some rando guard unit is getting waxed by like...the Tyranids or something and they pray and pray for days for salvation and the get saved by some space maries. Then the end gives a description of the guard looking up at the marine "clad in dragon skin armor with a 3 headed dragon heraldry " and the guardsman end his pray with, "For the emporer"....the marine repeats the phrase.

[@drgonzo305]

I’m pretty sure cypher is one of them alpharius or omegon, who the fuck besides a primarch is escaping custodies custody like he did after riding with gulliman from the black stone fortress whilst carrying the lions sword on his back. This just tied it all together with alpharius’s connection with the dark angels at the end of the unification wars killing the thunder warriors and the only one to know of his existence besides malcador and Big E was Valdor the head of the custodies. I really think he got his face time with the Big E right after Gulliman because I’m sure there’s still a custodie or 2 that knows what’s what

[@jrr7031]

Yea.....with that cloaking and morphing armor tech....that sounds right. No regular, schmegular Astartes is gonna pull that off. Plus wasnt one of their Primarch "powers" the ability to blend in? I think the book mentioned some kind of gestalt pyschic veil, always present...or one of the other primarchs said something like that?

Part of me wants to know their true allegiance, the other part hopes that it is never revealed because this guessing game is the beauty of Alpha Legion. Eve the writers don't know it. Maybe they are traitors, maybe they are the deepest of the deep undercover agents ....maybe neither and they fight both the chaos AND the Imperium, as it is the biggest source of power for chaos in the galaxy ....or maybe something completely different.... that's why they are my favorite :)

[@Bobrob1597]

This is my head cannon, Alpharius and Omegon swapped minds. We know the Alpha Legion has the ability to mind swap and it makes since for one of the greatest lies the Alpha Legion ever told to involve that aspect. They would have had their memories altered somewhat but retain some of their core personality. This will help explain why Alpharius acts like Omegon and Omegon acts like Alpharius. So this means that when Alpharius died vs Dorn, it was the body of Alpharius but the mind of Omegon. After all Omegon himself stated, "My name is Alpharius, this WAS a lie". Omegon (who's mind is Alpharius but forgetting the was the real Alpharius) steps up as Alpharius (one of the most Alpha Legion things to be honest). He teams up with John Grammaticus and others to reach the Imperial Palace to help deliver a message to The Emperor. While we don't know what happens after this (yet), it can be estimated that given how close he would be to the Emperor by the time The Vengeful Spirit lowers its shield. This will allow Omegon (Alpharius) to join his brothers and father on the final battle (perhaps even being the one to discover The Emperor's broken body while giving credit to Rogal Dorn.) After this he will later fake his death by allowing his body double to be one shot by Roboute. He then spends the next 10,000 years guiding his loyalist squads from the shadows while trying to undermine the heretic side.

[@cvi4057]

That'd make sense if Alpharious didn't mean beginning and Omegon mean the end. Omegon is absolutely the one that is still alive or they both are despite Dorn swearing he killed one. He swears he could tell the difference between the two and whether or not it was one of their sons doing the switcheroo for them, but I'd definitely want someone to think they could if I was them, and I think there's a very high chance they did just that. Hydra Dominatus!

[@keirbird5900]

Pretty sure the alpha legion are simply hive minded. What better a deception than appearing to have weaknesses like command structures where there simply are none. Appearing to disguise said structure would simply add to the believability of the deception. Hence their ability to so easily adapt to changes in the structure. Alpharius and omegon could be swarmlord-esque nodes of the hivemind that act with a degree of independence, but still remain part of the whole.

Just for the firepower? Tyranids? Because then everyone else is just nom-noms? But now I know. If I ever take part in a W40K game, I will bring the Alpha Legion. Rules do not matter. Points do not matter. Suddenly my operatives turn up where my opponent did not expect them. Suddenly my opponent finds that one of his units was actually Alpha Legion all along. And then I win. And even if my opponent wins, he will always wonder: Was that the plan all along? There will be planted a seed of doubt in his mind. And then I win. Because I am Alpharius.

Night lords: if we can't scare it into submission, we can make winning hurt so much that they'd rather give us the win and worstecomes to worst we can just keep takinng out their leadership Alpha legion: oh, would you look at that? Your heads of state and military are friends of our legion? You would like to bring us into the fold and give all power to us? Much obliged. Oh, your heads of state were actually Alpharius all along? No way, man.

My favorite legion.

[@brunopaynejunior8285]

Best legion so far. Hydra Dominatus!

When the Remembrancer said Horus screened his own legion to make sure there were no Alpha Legionares in them and in the video about Corvus Corax he had to do the same thing. My question is do the books say how they do this? Because unless I misheard the Alpha Legion can take the faces and memories of anyone they want, so how do you find the spies?

[@Robert_Douglass]

I wonder, what's the latest info on the 2nd and 11th Legions? Has there ever been an attempt to recover and reconstruct their records? Because as far as I am aware, the only two around with any knowledge of the 2nd or the 11th are the Emperor (may he live forever) and Roboute Guilliman, and neither one will say diddly squat about them.

Funny enough they are the most human of the legions in how they interact with humans, marines and their primarchs alike. They talk to each other with a common cause and shared comradery that no other Legion would talerate with cosorting with base line humans save the salamanders. Even the real alpharus would talk to his human subjects with a casual approach that would be out of place in any other legion. They were just practical

I'm Alpharius and this is my prefered channel on KZbin.....

I’m always torn on his I feel about the alpha legion cause they are both super open to be whatever you want your war and to be from “Let the galaxy burn” evil to secretly loyal to the emperor but I just find them too confusing. Plus the whole “I am Alpharius” thing leaves me wondering are there any actual characters in the legion if they all either think they are Alpharius or at least pretend to be him?

[@Pragabond]

Alpharius Omegon was told If Big E wins humanity slowly rots and then dies and Chaos wins but if Horus wins humanity dies fast but so does Chaos and, in my brand new headcanon at least, in proper Alpharius fashion he went "its big brain time". What if I just do enough bullshit that neither wins and maybe then we can save humanity AND wipe out Chaos. So anyways its been 10,000 years of that now

He was a custodies, shorter than a Primarch. The other was captive of the slaugth and had no identity.

[@ah9580]

i would argue too dangerous to make a full legion out of.

[@mikeylejan8849]

Can we have a video for Ultramarines?

[@KillerOrca]

“I am Alpharius. This is a lie.”

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

Some Legions are hokey. This 1 is well crafted. It's like playing "Not it" tag. 4OK's version of 3 dimensional chess. A good chunk of their operations would to be heavily hampered by their armor 🤔

[@secondarytrollaccount]

It really wouldnt have been hard for chaos to get primarch recruits considering the emperor killed all of the thunderwarriors.
