Right?Īs you are about to realize, we know absolutely nothing about the Alpha Legion or their members. Since the Emperor made all of the Primarchs, it's unclear how this would be a secret surely he'd know that he made twenty-one Primarchs, not twenty. The Alpha Legion's BIG SECRET is, as you probably know, the fact that their "one" Primarch is actually two guys, the twins Alpharius and Omegon. In retrospect, it probably should have been obvious that he was going to go full Chaos. They are the 20th and last Legion of the Adeptus Astartes from the Great Crusade, and were the last to find their Primarch, Alpharius, in part because Horus was the first to find him and kept him hidden from the Emperor and everyone else for some time.


The Alpha Legion (allegedly known as the Chaos Reasonable Marines) are basically what would happen if you gave the CIA from the 1950s onwards a Space Marine legion and told them to go nuts. "Hail Hydra! Immortal Hydra! We shall never be destroyed! Cut off a limb and two more shall take its place! We serve the Master, as the world shall soon serve us! Hail Hydra!" – Alpha Legi-wait a minute!
