Alpha Legion Primarch Returns To Warhammer 40K | Absolutely Massive Reveal!!

[@808Molcos]

I very very recently had the opportunity to speak with Dan Abnett in person. One of the questions I asked him was - "Do you believe Alpharius is dead?" His reply "No comment" That may not seem like much, but my take away was that he's not. Otherwise, why not just state that he is dead? I'm pretty sure if I had asked the same question about Ferrus, I would have got a definitive answer.

[@InquisitorRomanov]

Dude...that is AWESOME! What an awesome comment. So glad to see this. Sometimes saying nothing is the strongest thing to say.

in my head it plays out like this. The Harrowmaster has built a massive organised reunion of Alpha Legion, ones people thought had been wiped out centuries ago have crawled out the woodwork and everything and a debate gets out of hand, everyones yelling, making threats, a warband has already started to storm to the exits saying they're out.... and this one terminator bodyguard. he's been standing behind his boss this entire time, hasn't said a word, hasn't moved a muscle other then turning his head to follow what's happening... and he sighs, and that's that.. it's like Clark Kent taking off his glasses... he suddenly stands up a little straighter, steps forwards with a little too much grace, a bit too much power and confidence.... by the time he reaches the center of the room everyone's gone silent. everyone's holding their breath and not moving a muscle. '......my sons i am disappointed in you.'

[@InquisitorRomanov]

That’s rad. Love it!

[@Machosause]

My crackpot theory is that the Alpha Legion it's own faction. I've always equated the Alpha Legion to the CIA, the notices are unknown, and have even worked against the interests/wellbeing of the nation. With a return of an actual leader, like for real, I see the Legion acting in it's own interests, playing all sides, and keeping conflict constantly brewing. We'll never really know their objectives, much less theor big objective. I also see "rouge agents" and such going after things for more personal reasons, but still end up benifetibg the Legion, that way we can keep the infighting. I think Alpharius would still want the imperium to be somewhat strong, and help it more than the other factions, but even then, only so much. Again with the CIA comparison, it's like the American intervention in South America with banana republics and stuff. They may favor one state, but at the end of the day, they're the only ones "winning". I also believe the primarchs, or at least on of them, has sensitive information imparted only to him/them by the Empreror that drives them to do what they do. Maybe the Empreror saw the stagnation in the future, and a Legion of people who are constantly moving and changing as the thing that could possibly save humanity.

I’ve been saying for years Alpharius isn’t dead.

Dorne could always pick them out. Then when they fight later Alpharius uses the same trick, knowing it doesn’t work? No, I don’t believe so. I believe Dorne just killed a random Alpha legionnaire and Alpharius escaped seeing as Dorne couldn’t be convinced. It also allowed him freedom of movement when the galaxy thought he was dead.

Just a bit of lore about Alpharius' warp powers. He can make himself look like anything even mildly resembling him. If he wants, he can just make people think he's a random space marine. Or he can put on a mask, and pretend he's your best friend. His powers would fill in any gaps. It can even trick primarchs, at least until they try to figure out if he's real. He did so in a HH book with a pretty major character. Nobody could tell he was a fake from hanging out with him. This means he doesn't have to be a particularly large astarte. He could be any space marine, or an Ogryn if he wants to.

[@InquisitorRomanov]

He’s Deathrow. 100%

[@BeggarsNight]

The far larger issue is that Teke recognizes who it is, and you’d have to really stretch to convince me he knows a legendary primarch (legendary in the sense that so much time has passed they are for the most part literal legends rather than real known beings) instantly on sight when even the Lion must explain his identity to literally everyone he meets even with how large he is. The ability disparity is bad enough (even a master duelist isn’t going to take a primarch 1v1 like that, especially in what essentially becomes a wrestling match), but that’s what closes it for me.

[@cardyceps7728]

Honestly, I feel like since every loyalist legion has at least 1 miniature , same should apply for chaos undivided. Of course a named character is good, but I think an addition unit would be good: Alpha Legion - a sniper character, lone operative, can instantly climb buildings if wanted, get benefit of cover if simply near , but not behind a building, probably would give similar gun looks and profile as the one of Exodus, the melee is a close combat though. Iron Warriors - they produce lots of guns and have many obliterators. My idea is “Exalted Obliterator”, big like dreadnought, bigger than Hellbrute, can use only one, has all gun profiles of Hellbrute, but the melee is a stomp, has greater wound and armor than Hellbrute, of course Warp Smith can heal him so this makes him even stronger, a lot of gun profiles have added heavy keyword too. Word Bearers - just give them Greater Possessed, make it a fast moving, high leadership unit of 1-2 dudes. Melee only, but they have fight first and their attacks are improved version of regular possessed unit. Also give them better moving distance or give them assault keyword, or give them both.Low armor/toughness stats, but kills allow them to roll D3 to regain wounds just like how many demons do.

Obviously the Custodes would work with him, they know hes loyal, they would even say that they are working for Valdor(who as we all know is out hunting down his lost dog Russ). Hell, Valdor would even work with or for Alpharius, since hes known him and taught him the longest of any primarch. Im tempted to say that the custodes/null base that Bequin found at the end of the last book in on the other side of the portal to earth in the webway, or in the Impossible City and the plan all along was to ensure the daemons couldnt breach it before they ressurect big E...

Deathrow is 100% the real deal Alpharius for sure.

[@daganisoraan]

Called it, as in GW wants to make more money, so they'll just retcon the story over and over to bring back as much primarchs as they can. My bet is that 2 and 11 will be back thanks to having been sent to the future to save humanity and the whole memory erasure is just a way to hide the truth.

[@tastefulavenger]

Pretty sure this isnt alpharius, money screams this will be Soloman a unique hq for alpha legion.

[@germanmandalorian3514]

Ah... yes... the fresh daily Dose of Alpha Legion Shenenigangs.

[@jetpilledmyron2056]

10 thrones is just the new Horus Heresy for Alphy, so he can join both new Horus and Fulgrim minis

[@davidmathieson8661]

The legionnaire in the Bequin book could be Ingo Pech, the Alpha Legion first captain, who, as far as we know is still under the "Orphaeus" hypno-trigger and it is doubtful he would have just been left there during cleanup of the palace. Working as either an agent for Valdor (lying about being an agent of Eisenhorn) or Eisenhorn (less likely) would fit with the hypno-trigger

[@InquisitorRomanov]

I like this take, but it doesn’t feel right to me. If so, he’s still acting as a cutout for the real Alpharius whose scent is all over this story.

[@davidmathieson8661]

@InquisitorRomanov I agree it reeks of Alpharius, that's why I feel it isn't Alpharius (or Omegon depending on what you believe). That would be the most Alpharius route, make you think it can't be anyone but him...then bam it's someone else. I wait with bed breath to see what they do with both Pech and Alpharius

[@athenian9795]

Maybe the real Alpharius was the friend we made along the way

[@isuckatusernames4297]

of course I know it, because I am Alpharius -Omegon

[@MoonmanJamo]

Ah yes, Tom the space marine. I remember him now!

[@waspyhhh9225]

I honestly think it could be a feature for either the Drukhari Beast Master spear, or an Alpha Legion killteam, maybe Combat patrol with Solomon Akura.

[@InquisitorRomanov]

That would be rad. But still doesn't stop Alpharius from being back. I'd actually love to see Akurra have the spear and meet up with his primarch.

[@MrMannerless]

And then Roboute turned to him and said… I am Alpharius.

[@thebigenchilada678]

He was in the dust of a corpse-king’s court. He was before a resplendent Emperor for all the ages. ‘Father,’ he said, and when he had said that word, it was the last time he had meant it. ‘Father, I have returned.’ Guilliman forced himself to look up into the pillar of light, the screaming of souls, the empty-eyed skull, the impassive god, the old man, yesterday’s saviour. ‘What must I do? Help me, father. Help me save them.’ In the present, in the past, he felt Mortarion’s wordless presence at his side, and felt his fallen brother’s horror. He looked at the Emperor of Mankind, and could not see. Too much, too bright, too powerful. The unreality of the being before him stunned him to the core. A hundred different impressions, all false, all true, raced through his mind. He could not remember what his father had looked like, before, and Roboute Guilliman forgot nothing. And then, that thing, that terrible, awful thing upon the Throne, saw him. “My son,” it said. “Thirteen,” it said. “Lord of Ultramar.” “I am Alpharius.”

[@punec]

Although I would love if this was a plastic Alpharius/Omegon model I'm pretty sure Solomon Akurra is a more likely bet. I would love to be proven wrong tho since Alpha Legion best legion

[@drsatanrx]

I just hope he reveals himself cosplaying as Bobby G. Biggest slap in the face to the smurfs ever!

[@InquisitorRomanov]

Yeah, there's a lot of evidence to suggest that not only that may just be the case, but Alpharius himself may not even be aware of it any more...he's literally do so good at it he even tricked himself.

[@drsatanrx]

@InquisitorRomanov I love the imperial fists, the templars, and papa dorn. But alpharius will always be my favorite primarch/character in 40k.

[@thekrispiestkreme5609]

thats right an alpha legion character is coming to plastic! akurra and tulva: stands up thats right its alpharius! akurra and tulva: sits back down

[@InquisitorRomanov]

Word

[@karljohan2300]

this could become nasty if he unites alpha legion again. though i had hoped th ebig reveal wouldve been the return of perturabo uniting entire iron warriors

[@InquisitorRomanov]

I honestly feel that’s coming too. GW said 2025 will be the year of chaos. I bet we’ll see Forgebreaker in the rumor engine soon enough. I feel there’s no reason not to give us all the chaos legions coming in full force.

[@karljohan2300]

@@InquisitorRomanov something i would love to see is the rise of new chaos force like perturabo returns works with that new demon lord to gain more machines then even allies with red corsairs finding huron a competent leader that wouldnt have wasted his iron warriors like the emperor. since we all know red corsairs are becoming a problem for black legion
