Alpharius Omegon - Understanding 40K Lore (Alpha Legion)

[@NateTheNarrator]

An Alpha Legion video that doesn't confuse me immediately? This must be the work of Alpharius.

[@TrazynGoesDumb]

[@illomens2766]

Everything Malcador said to Alpharius and everything he taught him points to the theory that the Emperor and Malcador himself planned for the Heresy to happen as part of a grand plan being true. There is no doubt in my mind that Alpharius is a sleeper agent for the imperium, infiltrating Chaos.

[@Toto-95]

he's very very deeply asleep then lol

[@seancase71]

I'm of the belief everything the emperor did was for the future, the future where he'd be worshiped as a God. And alpharius would be his agent on the other side.

[@PeteCrutchfield]

I believe he is Cypher.

[@seancase71]

@PeteCrutchfield I heard that one too, definitely makes some sense too with how he always escapes, has the lions sword, helps the imperium but most of all how much he wanted a audience with the emperor so bad. It would make sense that he'd want some guidance but couldn't risk his cover. Not to mention in his book he wants to start his journey with the 1st and the lion. That may not have been a lie.

[@swagpharius_swolemegon]

He’s a deeply closeted loyalist

@@vladimirvojtaml perhaps the Alpha Legion wants you to think they are loyal. And they truly want Chaos to win so the Galaxy is finally free because Chaos destroys itself. And humanity dies with it. Or the Alpha legion does a completley diffrent thing. I think we are never going to know what thier true intentions Are.

I still think it doesn't fit him. I always think Alpharius should have a voice that doesn't belong to someone like him. He should have a voice that makes you go "Thats a primarch saying that?" Now it shouldn't be annoying mind, but something non fantastical sounding. In my head the perfect voice actor would be Guy Cihi.

[@Vaille32]

Alpharius / Omegon and the XXth Legion are by far one of the most interesting aspects of 40k lore.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Only if the damn writers can stop making many chaos warbands called AL. Sure some of them should have lost to the corruption of the Warp yet many (that we should) be reading about should either be. Renegades. Ones who just flat out turned against the Imperium as it is everything the Emperor didn't want. One that is trying to make a human race without the Eccelsiarchy and (Corrupt) High Lords. Using chaos when need be. Then those who are inside Chaos yet still manage to weaken them. A bit more hard-core then the renegades I guess. I don't know i just feel like there are too many AL who are just sneaky Chaos Space Marines with no end goals.

[@seatonking8136]

I've found few legions that use alpha legion, red corsair and loyalist rapter tactics. Why i like them the most. Very little bias favour from ANYONE, acting in methods few would even consider viable and acing. Not to mention choosing the third option to not fully follow the emperor's vision to attempt to preserve what was already there.

Read legion great 30k novel one of the best about the sneaky boys

[@FRAAANKYSUUUPER]

Things are only overlooked if you don't look underneath. The XX legion are at the forefront of my Astartes perception, shadowing only the Raven Guard. Cloak and dagger, subterfuge, espionage, guerilla tactics, calculations, shadow strikes and disarray. Both legions styles are so rich to me, I've always felt unfulfilled looking at the savagery of the Wolves and the World Eaters, the bulwark of the Lords of Iron and the Fists, the jack of all and master of none Ultramarines and Sons of Horus.

I'm not one to usually leave comments like this, I binge on Warhammer lore from time to time, I've seen videos from all the big and well-known channels, they are good and I enjoy them, but from the very first time I watched one of your videos when your channel was 2-4k subs, without a doubt I thought you by far were the best, your speaking, writing, the music, the atmosphere you create, it's so poetic and artistic, I am addicted to your ''understanding'' videos and hang on every word, the way you create and deliver it all charges so much emotion into the storytelling and highlights the artistic tragedy of the characters of these stories. I could go on and on but fucking hell your videos are just so so so good easily the best I have seen on wh40k lore, your channel is bound to blow up, keep up the amazing work man, and thank you for the enjoyment you've given me from these videos.

[@PallorMortis]

The Alpha Legion is my favorite and Alpharius is my favorite primarch. The script, the voice acting, the music, the imagery, and the narration all beautifully done. I cannot say how many times I will watch this over and over. You Amber king are my number one warhammer 40k KZbin channel, great work and I will watch every video you put out. Edit: I wanted to ask you what is your favorite legion/primarch? They can be separate

[@TheAmberKing]

Thank you very much! My favourite Primarch is Vulkan because he is the closest to being human and though he doesn't get much time in the limelight he brings such an amazing contrast too his brothers, dragging out the humanity within them. Favourite Legion is the Word Bearers, they bring a complexity to conventional evil that the other traitors don't have. Like evil in our world they believe they are the good guys, which is why they justify their actions.

I am in total agreement. While I take nothing away from Luetin, Baldur, or Rho, Amber joining their ranks just means more lore for me! All are slightly different and approach it uniquely.

Another fantastic video, your videos have made me see other parts of 40k that I would have never googled, I mostly listened to stories from the mperium, but your videos have changed my perspective and showed me parts of 40k that I never seen thought of checking out. My favorite video from you has to be Ahzek Ahriman. The simple reason being the way you tell a story, as a fellow writer the way you convey emotions, and scenes are beyond my comprehension, and hope to see more videos from you. You are by far easily have become one my my favorite lore youtube, even surpassing Luten. The way you simply convey and tell the story is unreal, and I have binged watched all of your videos just of how good they are. I hope to see some topics on the Astra militarism as I know you will do it justice, or campaigns such as the Damocles Crusade. Once again keep up the great work!!!

That the great stratagem, the big game that Alpharius Omegon has been playing will be won and that he can finally, truly die and be one with his other half in the immaterium.

Great video @Amber King! Your videos on the primarchs makes them easier to understand in a clear and synthesised way which I appreciate. "Head of the Hydra" made me love Alpharius so much as imho, he went from being a mysterious primarch to an anti-hero who understands the concept of sacrifice perhaps better than any of his brothers. I feel bad for Alpharius post-Heresy: no twin, no legion, and forever seen as a traitor. And yet he is indeed the "sword in the darkness" constantly fighting Chaos to achieve victory. On a side note, your choice for the Alpharius voice was marvellous! Great job @Curtis Coomber! Keep up the good work you guys and may the Emperor be with you!
