Who's Sigma, i am Alpharius.
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
Hello Majorkill - you mentioned at mission #3 that the book was absolute bonkers with the Alpha Legion being stuck between Saint Celestine and Kharn. But I think the title of the book was not mentioned. Can you please let me know which book it was? Thank you very much and keep up the good work, mate.
I was going to comment about, at 0:35 that the Hydra has three heads, at least in my head canon, not two. The third is called Epsilonius and he's kept imprisoned in the Custodes guarded cells beneath the Imperial Palace; I think that idea has some potential..
But then...
@ 1:00 You mentioned the release of the third Hydra. Epsilonius is taking form; he's going to start kicking ass and taking names!*!!
* I am Alpharius no doubt! >XD
"The 2 heads of the hydra could not agree on a path forward" GW's way of balancing a faction thats is too op to be left with leaders that can work together
Fortunately, the Chaos Gods can order the AL around
Kinda
@@robertnelson9599
Chaos corruption infected much of the Alpha Legion during the Heresy, Scouring and Slave Wars
Even with the much better logistics they have over most other Traitor Legions they needed Chaos blessings to survive and thrive post-Heresy
Willingly and knowingly putting Chaos marks on your body and gear does slowly corrupt you. Staying on a Daemon world corrupts you very quickly
Any AL warband that has a single Possessed, Warp Talon, Obliterator, Sorcerer, Warpsmith or Dark Apostle is corrupted in someway
This should be a series.
Videos of 5 insane missions of every legion would be awesome.
The most insane iron warriors sieges, the most Brutal blood angel attacks and etc.
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
The typical Tuesday of the Death Guard…
Alpharius be like:
"WE ARE NUMBER ONE!"
Alpharius also be like "WE ARE THE 20TH LEGION!"
He ded
Alpharius on pluto:
"Now listen closely
Here's a little lesson in trickery
This is going down in history
If you wanna be a Villain Number One
You have to chase a superhero on the run
Just follow my moves, and sneak around
Be careful not to make a sound"
Alpharius about emperor:
"Now watch and learn, here's the deal
He'll slip and slide on this banana peel!"
WE ARE NUMBER ONE is perfect for alpha legion
"IT'S KHARN!" will never not give me chills, fucking great book
What book?
@@silent_stalker3687 Shroud of Night is the name. Definitely in my top 5
@@justinhoward3579 any idea where I could find an audiobook of that? Or sons of the hydra?
My first 40k novel and still my favorite
@@ashtonshephard3852Black Library I'd think
Also the entire book Sons of the Hydra is just insanse feat after insane feat as a Oceans 13 style crew of Alpha Legion agents and Astartes try and swipe an artifact enact whole wars with just 5 dudes.
Isn’t that the book with the quote
“sir they have an angel”
The Alpha Legion reminds me so much of Metal Gear Solid, thats why they are one of my favorites. Alpharius literally uses the cardboard box trick lmao. Alpharius and Omegon are Liquid and Solid Snake, the legion itself are the Genome soldiers and Big Boss is Big E. All makes sense to me lmao.
Would that make the Silent Sisters and entire faction of Quiets?
@@justinlast2lastharder749🤤
Leaving an upper decker in Perturabo's personal toilet is probably their best.
I am Alpharius!
I am Alpharius
That's what Omegon would say Heretic!!
Wait then who am I
Imma touch you
I am Alpharius!
I don't think flaw Alpharius was thinking he knew what Emperor was thinking. Thinking "to him survival of humanity is more important than destruction of chaos" would have been thinking you know what emperor wants. The real flaw in him was having bias toward convoluted plots.
Kinda like how emps does
Dang they only got big E's conspiracy theory shower thoughts for a personality.
JK i love the Alpha Legion
Also he had too much trust in emperor. He saw the situation and though:"Could Big E have made some serious mistakes? No this must be part of his great master plan!"
Imperial Army/Guard regiments from Primarch homeworlds would be a fun episode.
Aren’t most of them exempt because they’re space marine recruiting worlds?
@mcarrowtime7095 You would think but surprisingly no. Just a couple of examples off the bat, Prospero Spireguard (Thousand Sons), Cthonian Headhunters (Sons of Horus), and my personal favorite the Ultramar Auxilia (Ultramarines).
@@Taco0718 I'm relatively sure two of those three planets don't exist anymore
@mcarrowtime7095 Yep, that is probably true, but that is why I said Army/Guard, or Imperial Army or Imperial Guard if you like.
New video idea: Put 5 Alpha legionaires and 5 Dark Angels into the same room. See who is more traitorous or loyal. BOOM! Money.
No matter how goofy it is, im never not gonna not love the silly ineffective hand cupping thats done whenever you do the “lets get into it”.
Never change
“This video is a lie.” - Alpharius
"This video is true." - Omegon
This is a lie.
I knew MajorKill was Alpharius!
Sir, your revelations in the Daily Mail are an inspiration for all Alpha Legionaires.
4:55 that silenced bolter is crazy
That 3rd head of the Hydra model is fucking superb!
I literally envisioned
Alpharious: wtf are you guys doing?!
Everyone else: we are playing rugby bro (?)
Alpharious: NO! This is chess!! wtf?!
Everyone else: what?
Alpharius: *proceeds to play a draw 4 and get a royal flush*
The "alpha legion" was one of the best traitors legions in the corvus heresy.
Head of the Hydra is probably my favourite primarch book. Alpharius come across as a pretty smart and practical guy for the most part and it's neat being inside his head. Would really recommend.
5:46 Turbo dead being shorthand for fucking obliterated by a Royal Dorn who played too much Mortal Kombat
I play Alpha Legion so thanks for giving me a new HQ to paint Majorkill! You’re the best
A video on the imperial palace would be cool! Size/location/secret areas/notable areas/ where parts of the siege occurred
That model is dope AF
Your models are fucking amazing with how detailed and dynamic they are. You can really see the progression you’ve had over the years. Does leave your older models looking a little flat, would be really cool if you went back to your older models and give them a glow up too. Probably save you a couple months of trying to come up with new mini’s to add to the shop.
Superb video as always @majorkill.
Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions
A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions ,this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces.. this would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the succes of the heresy.
I still think having an upgrade sprue with some of these major mini helmets/weapons would be great, like with the night lords one or space sharks
Every Loyalist Legion Destroyed by the Inquisition (or everytime the Loyalist legions fought against the Inquisition) would be a greta video
@majorkill A video on each of the primarch’s favourite food would be cool. Also a video on how each of the pirmarch’s would react to being implanted with the butcher’s nails would be cool as well.
3rd Head of the Hydra looks like a Salamanders captain as well, which is mindbending to me.
"Alpharius is playing chess, everyone else is playing rugby. Doesn't end well for the chess player" 😂
Gold!
10:07 this part killed me lmao cause it feels right-at-home with a comedy
I love your interpretation of Omegon's plan on Vraks. Good stuff.
A video on if magnus took the emperors replacement legion would be appreciated
Love the new minis, cant wait to see the painting competition
Hydra dominatus🙏🏽Majorkill coming back with another banger💯
should make a playlist or series where u detail specific missions of specific chapters , this was a good watch!
congrats on the model release mate, it looks amazing!
definitely my next priority vanity purchase
YES NEW ALPHA LEGION VIDEO WOOOO
1:23- That is very cool!!! I definitely like the 2nd helmet more! But that might just be me!?! And the details on the blaster is insane!!!
Alpharius primarch book was badass and harrowmaster was really good but my favorite alpha legion book is still hands down Shroud of Night. I absolutely loved the unsung warband and the way that story progressed and can progress further is gold
My favourite conteo about 40k is that the AL is secretely the true legion of tzeentch but its such a secret that they dont even know it
I am Alpharius! Btw that Third Head of the Hydra model is unpaintable because there's no raised scales and the details are sooooo thin. The helmet is basically completely flat. The Raven Lord model was 9/10 awesome though.
holy sheit that mini looks amaze
Honestly I think the funniest Alpha Legion moments are when even they have to acknowledge that things have become convoluted beyond their scope.
Not even Omegon was immune to it, dude was performing a simple compliance mission and lost track of his own schemes to the extent that he accidentally caused a Khornate uprising and had to abandon the planet, presumably while checking his plan book like "WHAT PLAN DID I HAVE THAT NEEDED A KHORNATE UPRISING‽"
The other funniest one where, seemingly just cause, they kidnapped a planet's population of psykers by poisoning said planet's water supplies with psychadelic drugs, triggering nightmares in yhe general population of it raining snakes, and then just waiting for the psykers to just.... manifest that? I'm not even sure why they needed this to happen to facilitate kidnapping all the psykers, and I feel like if we asked one of them they'd start asking each other "yeah actually why *did* we do that?"
Shroud of Night (the book with Kharn and Celestine) is one of the physical 40k books I have, and it's a really good read in my opinion.
Video idea: Improvements for the Imperium since Guilliman's return e.g. quality of life for normal humans, tech improvements, etc.
Yeah in example 3 they were panicking when Kharn started cut in through the roof. Also the name of the new model reminds me of the meme with Gulliman trying to sleep and his brain talks about how the Alpha Legion's logo has 3 heads because they're triplets not twins.
Day 529 of requesting a Commissar Yarrick Major Mini pls and thank you
Man, henley is the best shirt cut! I have no idea about 40K lore BUT these folks sound fun. XD
You should do supercuts by legion or faction, it'd be longform content for you and honestly I would listen to an hour of stuff about the Alpha legion, and repurpose the old content, if only we could bring back Timmy
"Faux-Megon". Was right there bro 3:02 cool vid :)
You know, im something of an Alpharius myself.
Oh dang that mini is nuts
Right off the bat, Astartes in beautiful blue armor.
I live in Austria ( the no kangeroo Country ) and i love that you Upload your Videos when i finish my shifts ❤ keep it up dude , Great Content
Alpharius and Omegon did know which path they were following. The Third Path. And that involved working independently of each other against each other, the loyalists, and the traitors.
Live From The Black Library has the best Alpharius/Omegon analysis on youtube.
I bet at least half of the Alpha Legionaires that say "I am Alpharius" aren't entirely sure they aren't. As far as they could be sure they may have been mind swapped with Alpharius at some point and didn't realize it as part of his 25D chutes and ladders game.
I've loved 40K for a while now and only just learned that Alpharius/Omegon are actually 2 different people. Any video or comment they're discussed it's only memes about "Actually, I'm Omegon"
just the best!
“Are Alpha Legionnaires traitors or loyalists?”
“Yes…and I am Alpharius.”
Day 29: What if Omegon returned to the setting. What would happen?, how would Guilliman and The Lion react?. Would be a pretty cool video idea.
When are dark Angel inspired major minis coming, would be awesome to have a squad of 40k fallen fight with their primarch. Anyways love the vid keep up the good work 💚
I loved Head of the Hydra. You know you can't trust a single word of it but Alpharius backs up so much of the lore that you find yourself questioning if it is a lie or the truth.
Good on ya for putting the best piece of Alpha Legion art up there to say "Hi guys and gals". That novel was quite cool as well. They are a renegade renegade faction.
I am Alpharius.
That's a fucking sick model too. I will get this.
The thirs head of the hydra figure looks too good. I never buy minis, but I pulled the trigger on one!
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
Day 74 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy
Honourable mentions: the time the Alpha Legion spiked a planet's air supply, causing the entire psyker population of the planet to have a collective dream of a rain of venomous snakes. The dreams were so realistic that the psykers caused it to become real, causing a rain of venomous snakes that killed half the world's population in a day.
Then there was the time six Vindicare assassins were sent after a Chaos Lord calling himself Alpharius. They proceeded to kill him... And then kill him again. And again. And again. After several reported kills, the assassin team went silent for a time, only for their severed heads to be found in the fridge of the Imperial Palace on Terra.
All Alpha Legion Lore Videos I could Find in one playlist:

Im so going ro pick this one up it looks amazing. Im going to send it to my artist like i did with sharkdaddy and his men.
Looking trim my guy
Funny timing, I was just recently going on a little lore kick about these bestest and obviously loyalist boys.
I'm pretty sure they have amnesia everytime they think of their allegiance goes to 😂
Alpha Legion: Everything is going according to plan.**
**they have no idea what the plan is.
Alfie and Omeg are basically Gork & Mork in human form and are doing things to one up each other.
The line w/ alpharius playing chess in a rugby game rly killed me xD
An Alpharius episode is this the work of Alpharius
I do wish Alpharius' last words were: I'm here to help against Horus! You have to trust me brother! and Dorn replies: All I can trust is that you lie. *QTE finisher*
With all the Alpha Legion vids you’ve got, do you think a “Serpentine Assassin Lord” would be on the cards for tabletop minis
What if they werent divided in their loyalty?
If their ultimate goal required things happening on both sides that they were the only ones equipped to accomplish, it would make total sense to split loyalty.
Even to the level of alpharius'/omegons death.
If they were one soul split in two, maybe ones death just reunited both halves in one body.
If I were going to collect Chaos, I would probably stick with the paint scheme for Alpha Legion, or more likely Iron Warriors, and if Deity-serving, Thousand Sons, but the Alpha Legion, specifically, always draw my attention to how "weird" things can be, with Chaos.
Prior to the Heresy actually kicking off, Horus seemed to make sure that the then most recent pattern of Power Armor went to his faction, trying to give the Traitors an edge, so most CSMs had newer, "better" armor, yet then they all STILL seem to have themed armor, different between each Legion. In a way that doesn't always work for Astartes, you can't just "paint CSMs red", and get World Eaters, or paint them blue, and get Alpha Legion. Alpha Legion tend to have scales, while others have their own details, yet they hot the newer suits, and less time to individualize them, prior to being the enemy. Then the Alpha Legion also often specifically wear other suits, to pretend that they are Space Marines of a different group, so how often DO they take to the field advertising that they are Alpha Legion? Then Alpharius has a unique weapon; the Pale Spear...but there's a second one, or else Omegon might struggle to properly impersonate his twin. I guess it's good they don't share sensations, like Tomax and Xamot, if you recall 80s GI Joe, but it's still weird that they have so much unique stuff, but then it's stilling the place it's needed, or they don't even use it, and just pretend to ne Imperial Fists, or Night Lords, or something else.😊
Shroud of night is sooooooooooooo good, great choice.
When is majorkill gonna do a Leman russ cosplay I could totally see it
keep up the pace, rooting for your 600k
10:30 Apparently space elf clowns are more competent than obsessive demigods.
A video about what’s going on in the setting in our modern day might be kinda cool.
Okay Bro that model slaps
Finally I can say it. Hydra Dominatus.
First, that's a mighty looking model, trying to come up with an interesting color scheme around ice blue or green colors, and got a few ideas now(ofc alpha legion loyalist chapter, to fit the theme).
Kinda interesting how said legion always rock ss protagonists and fail as antagonists(latter examples include dow games, the hunt for voldorius novel and so).
Lastly a question - if there was a third brother/head of the hydra, what would be his name?
I know he's so smart that he loops rigth back around to being an idiot, but god i love Alpharius. He's so fucking funny
Day 8 or so of asking How different do you think the setting would be, and what would be different if slaanesh's birth had been stopped, or they had been killed immediately after being born?
That Henley looks dope! Sauce?
Alpharius is playing chess while everyone else is playing rugby. I laughed a bit to hard at that
I have a question, which primarch is the best at single combat if they fought each other? I heard Majorkill say the Lion is the best duelist out of all primarchs, but I also heard Majorkill say Sanguinius is a league above all other Primarchs at epic battles, but I also heard Leman is engineered as the fighter and designed to purposely kill so he's the best, but I also heard Angron was designed to fight above all else. So which Primarch would win? assuming non daemon form
I’m going to main line this into my neck.
It's raining snakes, hallelujah it's raining snakes 🐍
Ay what is the book title that he mentions?
I demand major minis for tau
Hydra Dominatus!
But we will never be able to know if Alpharius/Omegon have been killed they could just swapped themselfs with their loyal marines or some dumb shit or transmit their powers before death to their fellow man
Hydra dominatus!
