My favorite "traitor" Legion. I really do like the idea of a deep undercover Legion secretly loyal to the Emperor and his Imperium. But who knows this is the case? It could be that they've been undercover for so long that one half the Legion is loyal to chaos and the other the Emperor and they constantly undermine each other. Who knows?
A legionnaire is also in the Eisenhorn/ Ravenor series of books who looks after the comatose Lady Bequin :0 Also with the Alpha legion being aided by saints and Imperial forces to evacuate a "saint" from an imperial world while betraying the Emperors Children and World Eaters. Madness I say:) Yet more confusion. Our MI6/ CIA/ SOE/ GRAU/ Mossad/ ISIS/ CONTRA boys :/ Also I think this is one of Baldimorts best readings :)
I gotta agree with you, I prefer to read about the Alpha Legion when it's not from their POV. There was one short story however where a squad of Alpha Legionnaires infiltrated a loyalist Asteroid Station that I enjoyed, but that's about it.
Reboute’s resurrection is an obvious case of the most loyal legion. No one, neither Eldar nor Chaos god nor Emperor foresaw it. Who else but the Alpha Legion could have pulled that off? Waking up the Lion is easy, having the Khan walk back out of the webway (hopefully with a helping hand by Cegorach will be easy. Same with the Wolf, or even a handless Rogal Dorn. But only the Alpha Legion have no need of plot armor, because they bring it themselves.
22:57 the book your talking about is Horus Heresy book 7, Legion by Dan Abnett. It's the first book in the Horus Heresy to cover the Alpha Legion and follows John Grammaticus's attempt to set up a meeting between the Alpha Legion and the Cabal. The chapter where the meeting starts begins on page 363.
I love how in the book, like, you already know there is a twin and they together are like a primarch, but the best is at the end they tell that its omegon that meets horus, bcz he says that he never saw horus before and alpharius did, but they never say that they switched places back so if alpharius did die in the duel on pluto we cant be sure that it wasnt Omegon and then Alpharius went back to be Alpharius after Omegon died pretending to be Alpharius
And now we have an answer to the Hydra's origin. Maybe. Check out Chapter Master Valrak's explanation of the Heads of the Hydra if you want a clear picture that fits perfectly.
Alpha legion would be even better if they were human sized. Instead of the hulking brutes able to remove the armor and just walk right through a town unnoticed
The Cabal(Kabal?) seemed to have been wrong? They said either Horus would win and take over the Galaxy or that the Emperor would win and humanity would be food for chaos forever. Neither technically happened. Horus kind of won, he slew the emperor, but ended up dying in the end. So, did neither outcome occur or am I not understanding which side of the cabal outcome actually technically occurred?
The primarchs were offered two impossible choices, so they made a third option. Nobody wins. The Emperor fails, but Horus dies. Humanity endures, but the galaxy may never be rid of Chaos. The Imperium stagnates, but it's mission survives.
@@Birb_of_Judge I thought he was cool at first because I was new to 40k channels in general but his humor gets pretty old very fast. plus the lengths he goes to be blatantly offensive to literally everyone is pretty cringey.
Arbites typing his dying message: "ATTENTION, CITIZEN! I AM ALPHARIUS! YOU! THE HYDRA AWAKES! WE APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING!"
Eyes glass over for three seconds.
I stand up I go to grab my weapon.
I am Alpharius. Flur. The Hydra Awakens.

I honestly kinda love the pure insanity and confusion of the Alpha Legion. It's a wonderful fustercluck.
I love that it’s so confusing it circles back around to be entertaining rather than frustrating. They’re so hilariously convoluted

It's kind of cool the alpha legion learned how to use cognito-hazardous warp-magic to great effect.

That's from Fear to Tread involving the Blood Angels

I highly recommend the Rogal Dorn video.
So can I

Ngl, the alpha legion is one of my favorites, not because of all their lore, but because I really like their armor colors.
Thankyou. Favorite faction
I really hope you keep doing videos these are great! love your input
Alpha Legion were basically CIA with 5th Column preferences.
For a change of pace you should see his video on the Ratlings. It is hilarious.
Tzeentch should not have chosen Magnus, he should have chosen Perturabo!
True memetic warfare.

the emperor won, the backbone of the empire falling with him, the emperium slowly but surely dying.
I guess that means option 3 came true

I mean.. I know. I-I know. I KNOW, You know!
please react to Dark Angels by Baldermort
I am Alpharius
I like majorkills take on the alpha legion.
Tbh I don't really like Majorkill's style of doing things

@@LouiseTheBeaverWarrior yeah that's the main reason why I dont like him
Question how do Astartes, genetically engineered super soldiers, easily twice the size of a normal human , pass off as a ordinary joe?
Can you like stop being so good at the lore? You're calling all of the details long before Baldemort hits them!
I am Alpharius. This is a lie.
