THE EMPEROR HELPS THE ALPHA LEGION?

Ойындар

Hi all Wolf Lord Rho here!
Today we're discussing just what the Emperor of Mankind could have in store, for the traitor Alpha Legion... and the possible return of the Primarch Omegon!?
Spoiler warning as usual, I will be discussing general lore and events from the novel "Shroud of Night" by Andy Clark. As always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first. As that's the best way to enjoy the lore, for yourself! Not only that, we help to support the great Games Workshop and Black Library. Because without them we don't have the lore we all love to talk about! Link: www.blacklibrary.com/warhamme...
I do not currently have Patreon. However if you wish to support the channel or would like to send me a gift as some have asked, then sending a virtual gift voucher to WolfLordRho@gmail.com using the link below will help towards the channel.

    Loyalty is a mask worn to hide treachery. Omegon works in the darkness for the good of the light. Never once demanding accolades, never once shirking duty for glory. Only acting with cold ruthless efficiency in the Emperors name. He is no hero, he was never meant to be one. But he will always do what is necessary for humanity to survive. Hydra Dominatus, For the Emperor.

    Gulliman already knows Omegan is alive. Dorn took out Alpharius before the siege began. Yet there's also lore that says Big G killed Alpharius in the scouring and burned his body to ash. No way. Omegan was pulling a Donnie Brasco throughout the heresy and when the scouring was nearing it's end Gulliman extracted him from the main Alpha legion traitor force made it look like he killed him (conveniently made sure there was no way for the Alpha's to recover and identify the body). Next thing an Ultramarine 'successor' chapter pops up called the 'Iron Snakes', non codex compliant, whose chapter master is always hooded and a full metre taller than regular marines. They even fight with spears! Conveniently enough throughout the last 10 millennia when a new Iron Snakes chapter master is 'chosen' they automatically take the same name, face hiding tendencies and massive height. Almost like it's the same person making sure the inquisition doesn't take too close a look. Hydra Dominatus.

It’d give the imperium 3 of the best tools for fighting chaos, and it’s numerous enemy’s. Guiliman for his organizational genius, Khan for his tenacity, and Omegon for subterfuge. The Imperium could definitely go on the offensive and undermine Abaddon and the Dark gods. They’d also stand a better chance against the Tyranids and necrons with 3 primarchs.

Furthermore I also believe the Omegon started a black ops war against the forces of Chaos under the Emperor’s orders, unbeknownst to anyone but the Emperor himself.

    It's a really good short story by Gav Thope called The Board Is Set, where Emps and Malc play out the HH events as an allegorical strategy board game. Emps wastes a turn to bring the Unbreakable Bastion (Dorn) out of 'reserve' (like castleing in chess). It's an unsound move but it leads Malc to draw the Hydra card. As he does, both Twin pieces change allegiance to join him (playing as the Warmaster). Malc realises that he can move one of those new pieces into the space left open by Unbreakable Bastion. Malc protests, so EMP asks him to turn over the next four cards ...all Hydras. Alpha Legion fans should be getting severe déjà vu.

    Omegon is the way for them to redeem a traitor legion without really redeeming a traitor primarch. Because Alpharius wont be getting redeemed, and Omegon never needed redemption. I could see members of the Alpha legion getting a signal one day all in unison and performing some Order 66 level shit on their own chapter, purging all the heretics and chaos mutated elements, leaving only the secret core of loyalists left, they then rebrand themselves as the OMEGA Chapter (Chapter because now after the purges they are way under strength for a legion anymore) and then pulling some serious sabotage at the final hour of some apocalyptic battle for the fate of the galaxy type shit. The ultimate plot twist. A twist running for decades in the lore.

    Considering the likely very very large size of the Alpha Legion? Could be a new Legion, which would explain why the Alpha Legion could replace losses like nothing during the Heresy if they were litteraly 2 legions and 2 primarchs fused into a single Alpha Legion, the 1st of the 2, while what wouldve been the last of the 2 the youngest of the youngest, would be the Omega Legion, much smaller at first since the remnant of Alpharius Omegon geneseed wouldnt allow great stzrting numbers but with Omegon being there from the start end up being about half the Alpha Legion or smt... Or even a mere rebranding of the Legion, if the end times are coming with an attempt to end it all with the Eldars attempting to wake another god, supported by Big G and the imperium, Omegon would likely raise an Omega Legion against em, seeing as they would go against the Emperor the same way his twin Alpharius did by essentially starving chaos in the end. Many many ways for the Last legion to shine its frightening

    I also think all 3 factions know about each other and intentionally don't try to figure out who's on which side. So long as the Alpha Legion is loyal, traitor and Chaos at the same time, it makes it easier for them to infiltrate all 3 sides. If the loyalists, for instance, try to distance themselves from the traitors and Chaos Alpha Legion, they'll give up the ambiguity that helps them work in the shadows and surprise their allies and enemies.

    Honestly, the Alpha Legion reminds me of Venom Snake and the Diamond Dogs. They are pretty much a smokescreen. Deceiving both their enemies and allies into thinking they are one thing when they are entirely something else, making them focus on the Alpha Legion all while a greater power (the Emperor) accomplishes something from behind the scenes with none being the wiser. So when the time comes that Abaddon manages to attack Terra, aided by unending hordes of daemons and Traitor Marines, I can see the Alpha Legion pulling the greatest backstab and firing upon Abaddon and his forces.

Which I think was to give his brother (his legion) a great fundamental change. They never fled to the warp. They always stayed in real space. They are mostly untainted and they control the tainted (not by purge) but by openness and discussion.

    If they do start a loyal Omegon story line, it need to be done in a way where most of the time, no know, not the loyalist or the reader knows if Omegon is loyal. Every action of his( if the reader even believes it is him) should somewhat be able to be seen as both helping or hindering chaos. Even the final reveal should leave a lot of question. Was he helping the emperor, or was he helping himself, or is it all just another trick. I think it would be cool, but really hard to do. I also always like the idea that the two primarch actually disagree with each other, one was loyal and one was evil and the two were fighting a secret war against each other. But that fan theory doesnt work anymore

Alpharius death didn't sit well with me because in that that book they where to direct when the Alpha Legion is all about misdirection an unconventional warfare among the legions.. I just hope that we will finally see the master plan of The Alpha Legion their 10k years of work coming in fruition. My biggest fear is that they will just have Omegon show up without pulling of any scheme or trickery that their Legion have been built up for. I hope it won't be a letdown but Epic!

He basically abandoned the Traitors, but still made it look like he was with them.
