@@seymourfields3613 you mistake me, I found home among the white scars, things are not always as they appear. Yes some are no more then wandering tribes, seeking out their own gains, but there are many all working towards unified goals that wouldn't seem to have any correlation unless you were one of them. Never underestimate the traitor legions. Especially the ones that didn't sell their souls to the Yeshugai.

Now this is a title I can agree with. Hydra Dominatus!
Oh so we are doing this for real. OK then. (Clears throat) I AM ALPHARIUS!!
Total victory over chaos is an Utopian ideal. The Alpha Legion have come to appreciate that Utopian goals are ultimately counter-intuitive to species survival. No power can engender, or force to be engendered, a state of perfection, because perfection is an absolute that cannot be attained by an imperfect species like the Cabal. It is better to manage and maintain the flaws of man on an ongoing basis. Even if it means to dooms the emperor and mankind to suffering. The Alpha Legion need to play 3 sides, loyal, traitor and the Cabal. Alpharius hade to turn traitor to make sure the Cabal did not interfere in the war and need to make sure that Horus didn't win.

I always find it funny that people believe the legion based on misdirection, infiltration, and sabotage sincerely joined the traitors. They never ask why would Alpharius trust the cabal at all? Spies aren’t known for their trusting nature.

Subterfuge! If the twins really switched places then Omegon is the Greatest Primarch!
the state of the imperium today. the only way to defend the imperium is break the walls down.......- Alpharius posing as Chris Jericho while he supposed to be deceased
Hydra Dominatus! The best and most underrated primarchs!
Alpharius was the greatest primarch because...unlike him, his brothers treated the mortals who formed the auxillary forces which were the vast majority of their legions as little more than chattel-at best, medieval peasants (Ultramarines) and at worst, cattle (Night Lords). Alpharius was the only primarch who actively recruited talented, exceptional baseline humans for his legion, put them in positions of responsibility and gave them tools, skills and the power to make executive decisions in the field and generally treated them as valued and full members of his legion. In this respect, Alpharius acted like the general of a modern professional army, while the rest acted like ye olde kings who imagined that all the important business of winning wars was done by a small group of heavily armoured knights on horseback. That ignores the fact that said knights couldn't even get into their armour, let alone mount their horses without a team of helpers. In any war, the side with superior logisitics and intelligence wins. In a straight conflict between the Alpha Legion and any of the other legions, the 20th would have won simply because their human support staff, field agents and logistics crews had superior training, equipment and motivation, and were trusted to make independent decisions. Outside of their space marines, the other primarchs had nothing but illiterate serfs who were generally more terrified of their masters than they were of the enemy.
It’s definitely the best Primarch book

I thought so too. Even though I enjoyed a number of them. I didn't go much on Vulkan's or Russ's, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Fulgrim's and Angron's more than I thought I had any right to. But I still think Alpharius's is my favourite; it has a different feel to it that was fun.

Alpharius got his Primarch discovery and launch when he switched places with Omegon
Alpharius didn't join Horus for the stated reasons, that would be much too straightforward. He is the greatest Primarch because he actually used his brain and knew that the Imperium was for humans.

I am Alpharius. I have deceived you. Death has not come for me yet.
You're just saying that because you ARE Alpharius... and so am I... and so is everyone else.
IF there is such a thing as 'winning' the Horus Heresy, as opposed to merely surviving it, the Alpha Legion and Ultramarines would be it's winners. The Alpha Legion lost a negligible sum of marines during it. They had their ships stalemate a few loyalists, but they weren't really fighting. They lost some marines and possibly a ship or two during the battle of Pluto. They lost Alpharius's body (not his mind, that was implanted in one of his captains) but otherwise? Otherwise, they got through with barely a scratch. They were at like, 3 big battles, but even then, they dipped out of those battles fast. The Ultramarines likewise, sat out most of the heresy. Oh, Calth, for sure, but that's one planet, and it's orbital dockyard. They were reinforced by getting an influx of marines from the lost primarch's legions. Then they mostly hung out in Ultramar.
Does Omegon get a ten minute video too?

This traitor really got a video before Corax, the Raven-lord had Primarius level Marines in the Heresy thanks to the Emperor, without the intervention of the Alpha Legion... He could have made a significant difference at Terra or devastate Horus's supply lines even more than he already did.
"If you choose to believe Alpharius".... That's both dangerous and confusing.
Hopefully GW doesn't waste the "sword in the darkness" idea behind Alpharius and give him an epic and extremely convoluted comeback in 40K
I live in hope that they pick up his story and hes still alive and has amassed a huge army from the gene tech that he never gave to horus

💜🟣 The Dark Hydra for Slaanesh! The Alpha Legion who change their color to purple and become Crocodiles of Slaanesh (Night Lords become Dragons and Emperor's Children become Serpents), along with their Primarchs Alpharius and Omegon. The Chaos Symbol of Slaanesh symbolizes the Dark Ice Moon (in various lunar forms). Can the Moon of Slaanesh help make the Hydra, Alpharius/Omegon, and the Alpha Legion beautiful for the Dark Prince (the twin Primarchs who have a fall as beautiful as the Silver Knight's)? Is it good enough?
Might not be the greatest primarch but I lean towards either of the twins being ultimately loyalist and therefore a favorite of mine. Have loved the alpha legion and their primarchs since learning about them plus the alpharius primarch novel was awesome
Before the video starts I am expecting nothing but a really long meme
I have heretical idea for you Wolf Lord. Once you finish the Primarchs maybe you could do a "Why Each Chaos God is the Greatest" series.

If it was a normal war Alpharius and Omegon would of had this in the bag but their enjoyment of a well sprung trap and "immortal" foes who should know every step they play will hinder them. They pride themselves in being so good they could take out a threat without it even knowing it died but.. how do you do that to a extraordinary ball of c h e e s e? But if the choas gods were like minor ones like Vashtorr and them, I could totally see the Twins outplaying these Godlings.

Wonder what his brother is up to 😊
Hail Hydra!!
The ultimate twofer.
true proof he is goat- every member from his legion identifies as him
Great video rho I could, in some crazy upside-down universe, agree with Alpha being the best, but I would have to see one thing, and that is his Legion do some thing Legión-Like, post primarch death. I’ve seen space marine chapters that are more active than they are. The problem with the hydra is everything has to be kept secret, and the problem with everything being kept secret is now you have no supporting evidence for them being the best.

Did akpharius die or did Omegon?
Alpharius was found first and on Terra huh? Well that means to me that Omegon is the "original" and launched into the Warp. This is just hypothetical but I think it's highly suspicious that Alpharius is the only Primark left on Terra. After all Alpha invokes the concept of the first and it would be the greatest twist if he is the clone.

It seems intentional don’t you think and if you read the lore you would know that there is a legions worth of alpha Legionaires under the imperial palace on Terra as well as those who still follow Alparius/Omegon in the warp. They also have a strong presence in the galaxy with up to date kabals that forage for current knowledge and technology like tau weapons and primaris tech so basically they have all the tech and information advantages pre heresy and guillimans return just minus a primarch. They have managed to infiltrate an unnumbered amount of loyalist worlds and Abbadons black crusades so there kinda on the line up to be the strongest legion power wise.

Alpharius is among my favourite Primarchs, but I wouldn't say he's the greatest. Without an accurate record of his actions and achievements, how could we even judge that?
Nice text and effort to justify, but we all know Lorgar ia the GREATEST(not strongest) one. He is just responsible for almost all heresy plot.
Ha no. Dorn is.
This is just imperial propaganda. I never died... Because I am Alpharius!
Omegon was Killed by rogal down and not alpharius. I think you made a mistake there, until you are playing some 5d chess games im not aware of.
The whole objective was to protect humanity and ensure its survival. The plot line of siding with Horus to defeat chaos at the expense of humanity is idiotic. It wasn’t his decision to make. Nor would the emperor support it. He could have discussed his meeting with the cabal with his father or Malcadore. Alpharius was just a prideful fool who thought he knew best (like Magnus). No. He was not the greatest Primarch.
