- The 20th Legion Astartes were the most mysterious of the Space Marines, often working from the shadows. Led by the twin Primarchs Alpharius and Omegon, they supposedly fell to Chaos during the Horus Heresy, but may have had an ulterior motive. This is what we can piece together of their story.

Alpharius: " We'll poison them"
Omegon:"But the civilian casualties?"
Alpharius:"You mean acceptable losses?"
Wait people in Warhammer 40k cares about civilian casualties?
Redem10 basically just the Salamanders and maybe some of the Alpha Legion, given that Omegon is probably still alive.
Joshua Kearney Raven Guards, Ultramarines, Word Bearers before heresy. Hell even Luna Wolves always try diplomacy with humans before using war back in the Great Crusade
You missed the Blood Angels and some of the Imperial Fists.
@@_Rijolin The blood Angels are as likely to slaughter civilians as they are to save them.
"Taller than usual marines-"
"Stolen *super-space-marine* genes-"
"Oh look Guilliman found some *Primaris* marines..."
"What on _HOLY TERRA_ will the Alpha legion do..?"
If Omegon is still alive (and chances are he is), then it is very likely that this is giving him an infiltration boner to rival that of AdMech's tech erection.
Does that mean Alpha Legion techmarines can only get off to toasters locked in high-security vaults?
@nemis010 If you look at some of the lore, they don't need Primaris.. They've had their own forge worlds since the beginning and have weapons and armor that no other Legion/Chapter has access to. They also supposedly haven't suffered the technological decline that the rest of the Imperium and heretics have... they just play along with it.
In my story the Alpha Legion would call out Robute as the one that did what chaos never could, and murdered the Emperor, and so he unites numerous Legions against Robute Guilliman as THE TRAITOR TO THE IMPERIUM... including a couple "missing" Legions that he just happened to "find"... Plus, it'd see the return of other Primarchs including a fully wulfen Leman Russ and his Space Wolves that were declared Exterminatus by the Imperium for turning wulfen. I'd also have it setting up for a much worse enemy than Chaos, as well as the return of a certain race that has been mentioned in 40k lore but never seen. :D
"Will the real Alpharius please stand up?"
*entire Alpha Leigon stands up*
😂😂👍🏻
Ah the Alpha Legion even I have fallen for their masterful deception
*flashes back to one week earlier*
*Pounding on the airlock door*
Me: Hello?
Not an Alpha Legionarie: Chinese food.
Me: I didn't order any Chinese food.
Still not an Alpha Legionnaire: We have General Tau's Chicken.
*immediately opens door to see a platoon of Alpha Legionnaires pointing their bolters at me*
Me: So where's the General Tau's Chicken?
*Flashback ends*
Truly nobody can see past their masterful skills at deception.
* you *
SHI......
I agree with the sentiment Lord Inquisitor, sometimes I can't even tell when one of my own marines have been replaced by Alpha Legion and I'm the fricking Chaplain
+Inquisitor Thomas I just want you to know I made a screen of your comment. It's too epic
I'm not Alpha Legion. I'm with Domino's Pizza 40+ , I swear. Totally. Ignore the bolter and the power armor, see this smudge? It says "Delivery Driver." No tip? Ok..... see this smudge? It's part of my nightgown, I'm your grandmother and I think you are rude. Now, fetch me your blast door codes and armory overrides, Granny needs to... uh..... "sweep."
Hahahaha
What if there was a third brother? Alpharius, Omegon, and Solidus Snake.
AlhazredTheMad There is a theory that there is a third brother based on the legion heraldry of a three headed hydrate, three Greek letters and so on....
Alpha Omega and Sigma. Sigmar? Age of Sigmar?
@@stevenraycopley8885 Or the third head is the legion itself.
fofi fernandez WHO HAST SUMMONED ME!

"I am not Alpharius"
-Not Omegon
xDDDD
Is..is that true?
Focus Support pls sounds like something Alpharius would say..
Alpharius: " you want to know how I got these scars?"
I shall ask Rogal Dorn
"Well, whatever you tell me probably won't be true."
"OR WILL IT?!"
Could they have been deliberately playing both sides against each other; imperial victory would lead to galactic stagnation, but chaos would destroy life in the galaxy. They seem to have manipulated events to ensure that neither side truly won
That is actually pretty close to my own headcannon. I also think that in the end, the Twentieth chose to fight not for Chaos or the Emperor, but for themselves. True freedom is basically unheard of in the 41st millennium, but I like to think the Alpha Legion is out there forging their own path.
Everything about the Alpha Legion should be preceded by “allegedly.”
Let's name some notable members of the Alpha Legion:
There was Alpharius.
And Alpharius.
And also Alpharius.
And did I mention Alpharius? He was great.
Bro how could you forget alpharius, he was like the most well known of all
Athi Bi and you can’t forget that one scout Alpharius! He was great!
Man, that one time Alhparius did that, it was awesome
The SAS are proof that you don’t need to be famous to be the best.
@@Terraborm_Studio You mean Alpharius?

ay at dat drink ... zzzz
That drinking game kills people
I’m in the hospital now lol
It's the alpha legion even the Emperor of mankind will have a diificulty understanding Wtf the alpha legion is doing.
The one Legion that is truly chaotic might just be loyalist after all. Or not.
Loyalists that fight for mankind and not the Emperor? Traitors that fight against Chaos? Malal worshipers? All of it at once?
DarkZholt I feel like these guys are one of the few redeemable traitor legions, thoughts?
The funny thing is that not only are they twins, they're unusually short for primarchs. Its impossible to say if either of them were actually killed. Several primarchs have claimed to have killed them.
Just a thought, but what if the entire Legion is Alpharius? The Hydra has one body, one mind, but serveral heads all fighting in unison.
Perhaps.
You're probably right. Papa Sang has this ability to control the Blood Angles red thirst. What if Alpharius has that same physic power, which means his controlling his sons mind/body all along and can even transfer his mind/soul on daily basis. Even if his real body is destroyed he still had 10000x extra body left.
and what if the psychic signal theyre waiting for is the rebirth of the emperor and his ascension to godhood since when slaneesh was born it created a psy explosion so i imagine the emperor would create a similar boom or not im not really sure how this god thing works
Mohanned Zein dammit he specifically said he didn't want to be worshipped as a god, have you even seen Text-To-Speech?
Alpharius [Insert on how he was discovered/reunited with his father]... but it was a lie!
Alpharius died. But Omegon did not. It was a deception. The Ultramarines themselves don't have any record of it.
Also let us remember that the Emperor DID create only 20 primarchs. Not 21.
Alpharius and Omegon are just 2 bodies of the one and only XX Primarch, Alpharius-Omegon.
Since Alpharius-body died, we either have an Omegon-body with the complete soul, or Omegon-body with just half a soul. Could possibly Omegon-halfsoul somehow call back the other half soul from the Warp, and through consciousness transfer (something the Alpha Legion is not new with), possibly bring it back in a clone body of Alpharius-body?
Let us also remember the great amount of genetech the Alpha Legion stole in these 10k years. A possible explanation for this could be that they are going to create a new body for Alpharius-halfsoul. Possibly, even an endless bodies stock for their primarch to use. Maybe they could also be aided in this by Fabius Bile in exchange for some of that great amount of genetech...
By the way I've been waiting for this video since the first video you made on the first founding legions.
You sir have my thumbs up on this theory. I do love an Alpha Legion plot that somehow brings back the conjoined body-soul of Alpharius.
Especially after that imp Rogal Dorn cut my favourite primarch in twain. Such a shame really, to lose potentially one of the most intelligent and crafty of the Emperor's sons. And that would give a definitive goal for Omegon.
But what would be best is if the theory proposed by Alan Bligh, may he rest in peace, where he suggested a triumvirate of primarchs, instead of twins, and this theory you now propose were somehow linked. Omegon working with his as of yet unknown third brother to potentially return to the materium their brother Alpharius.
Oh this conjecture is giving my hearts a veritable seizure in anticipation. I do hope these theories end up being made canon such that I can have three primarchs for my Alpha Legion.
Hydra Dominatus.
Alpha Legion sounds so lethal, so badass!
Who is Alpharius? Aren't we all Alpharius?
We will never know.
I am Alpharius brother.
Was there even ever an Alpharius? Are you Alpharius? Am *I* Alparius?
@Modustollens1 *I don't even know who I am anymore......*
So basically...
Hail Hydra.
Ted Culbertson HERESY!!! *BLAM* one less Heretic to deal with. Oh and I am Alpharius.
@@lordinquisitorsec7532 You inspire your men to study such foul smut Commissar?!?! You Heretic BLAM!!!
@@kingjonstarkgeryan8573 I did not inspire my men to study such smut. In fact my first name is actually Alpharius. My parents had a terrible sense of humor. Nice TTS reference though. *headbanging the Exterminatus button*
@@lordinquisitorsec7532 They sound like heretics
Also thanks.
@@kingjonstarkgeryan8573 Not a problem. I suspected that myself after my mother got tentacle nipples and got too far into infiltrating a Chaos cult. Maybe I myself should die for that, but I do serve the Imperium rather well so not now but any signs of Heresy and I will. Ave Imperator and may the Emperor illuminate your path.
Really fascinating story, I hope this tale gets flushed out further. Really like the theory that they did not in fact fall to Chaos and are in fact the deepest cover operatives imaginable
"Alpharius Omegon telling you you're wrong for 47 seconds"
I think the very fact they were given the ability by GW to change appearance means they used it.
Also I think at least 1 of the two are alive and it doesn't matter which because ya know... We are all Alpharius.
Most Legions/Chapters these days are small in number but I think that the Alpha Legion would still have worlds to call home.
Hydra Dominatus, Primarch
personally I think Alpharius omegon cloned themselves during the heresy it is entirely possible given the data stolen from corvus if they did clone themselves it would also explain where the alpha legion gets its recruits in the 41st millennium especially given the lack of alpha legion presence in the eye of terror where the majority of of traitor legions get their recruits
Alpharius died. But Omegon did not. It was a deception. The Ultramarines themselves don't have any record of it.

There is also the possibility that Alpharius Omegon is functionally a Perpetual like Vulkan. In their case, I would assume that as long as half the should remains in the world, they can be brought back, so to speak. So when...
Spoiler:
...Rogal Dorn killed Alpharius, and Omegon felt it, there was probably a failsafe in place for this eventuality. After all, Alpharius was likely one of the weakest Primarchs in battle, and he must've put some measures in place in case one of his brothers managed to kill him. In any event, I think that if we ever witness Alpharius Omegon fighting as one, they could defeat any other single Primarch, but since they never really fight together in the field, a Plan B is highly likely given that they will almost never be fighting together to protect each other.
I think it likely that Omegon aligned himself with the Sigilite, indicated in "The Serpent Beneath" with his knight errant style armor.
In the same story, the captain Sheed Ranko of the Lernaean termenator squad was marked as knowing the legion better than anyone else and held a great level of trust of Omegon. Omegon was asking him for personnel choices.
This is the first of your videos I have seen. It was great! I look forward to watching the others.
The 1st Captain's name is pronounced "peck" in the Legion audiobook.
Ah, interesting! If Omegon did in fact go to Malcador that does answer some questions as to the odd behaviour of the Alpha Legion, but as the 20th did make their own version of Mk6 armour during the Heresy it is possible they mimicked the Knight Errant design too. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Given both Ingo Pech and Matthias Herzog are German names, both pronunciations (Peck and Petch) are wrong.
It would be Pech, as in 'Pech und Schwefel', but as the German ch-phoneme is apparently unpronouncable by native English speakers, it's both fine and wrong at the same time.
No worries, then.
@@Wolf_Larsen, cool, I just took it from Legion, the audiobook where he appears first.
A summary of this video
here we will look at the maybe but also maybe not chaos corrupted-ish astartes chapter that killed everyone they faced (although officially they didn't kill anyone, who killed that settlement? eh probably chaos... DON'T LOOK OVER THERE THAT YOU ARE HALLUCINATING!!!) they had 2 primarchs. that is basically it.
you forgot the succesor chaptor for the alfa legion
Hydra Dominatus.
''For the Emperor'' ;)
Who cares about Sanguinius.
The Hydra Awaits
The 3 letter agency of the Legiones Astartes
'We never have been able to trust his word. Cradled in lies, as Rogal once said. He was right about that, at least.'..." An extract from: "Praetorian of Dorn" by John ...
If we are all Alpharius does that's mean the Emperor is also Alpharius?
Stuart M Who is this "emperor" you speak of? We are all Alpharius.
Perfect question followed by a perfect answer. Hydra Dominatus.
Sshhhhhhhhh!!!
Empra' is alpha so...
There are some who also say, alpharius omegon were shown anonymous videos on loop while in their pods.
Lol
So these guys are like the Delta force of 40k. Nice.
Mario Rodriguez No. They’re really not. Raven Guard is the DF equivalent, even if they are pretty emo. Alpha Legion are like those CIA guys that got sent to Afghanistan back in the 80’s to screw over the Soviets. Except with more Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Well you see. Alpharius tricked tzeench while in his incubation capsule and disquised himself as a custodes when he was a foetus.
Okay, but just because I forgot, which one of you is Alpharius?
Colonel Jurten I'm back from the warp, apparently fucking Corax was hiding on Nocturne this entire time.
Your presence was not required Inquisitor. Now don't you have some fairytale to chase in that insane ship of yours?
I may be an Inquisitor, but I am secretly Alpharius. Don't tell anyone, okay? :)
HEY EVERYONE TRESTKON IS ACTUALLY ALPHARIUS!
Colonel Jurten That guy is Alpharius
The Alpha Legion, the true servants of Tzeench
Second sons screech
Oh no, not in any sense of the term; but essentially yes.
Man!!! Wish you would do more videos like this!
Really interesting Legion. Cool video
They are ALL Alpharius. The Hydra is one, each head is equally replaceable, but all are The Hydra. HYDRA DOMINATUS!!!
Emo Clown AVE DOMINUS NOX!
nice video keep up the good work
"For the emperor brother "
Im under the impression that the alpha legion is in the background of each chapter and warband in a small or mid way. From belecore, to the traitor chapters and warbands. All the way deep into the loyalist chapters and the inquisition. How else can they be a step ahead of 90% of the imperium and yet be effective in groups of three and accomplish what full units can do with far less.
What if Omegon is Alpharius and Alpharius is Omegon.
Alex Plunkett we’re all Alpharius in the end.
:As an Alpha Legionnaire, I have some great stories of my own. Like the time my platoon dropped in on a world being invaded by the Eldar, Tau, and Drukhari all at once, looking for some artifact. We came in disguised as loyalist marines, fooling the Guardsmen. Once we had gotten all the way into the Inquisitorial compound with the artifact (which turned out be some Aeldari relic) we turned on the imperial forces, blew up the compound, and hightailed it out of there, snickering all the way."
Heh.
A-HA!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
I FOUND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ser Ravinger Bare or is it...
*Removes helmet revealing it was Rogal Dorn the entire time!*
Another great story :)
Love this lore series.
Glad you've enjoyed it so far! Any ideas for future entries?
I'm not terribly well versed in WH myself, so wouldn't know.
I know all I know from the online wikis and lore videos like this one, and ones from other channels. :P
Nurgle stuffs always good though.
where did you find that story involving the salamanders dreadnought?
Didn't one of the Horus Heresy novels say that in one of the gestation tubes there were two lives moving?
i cant what for his/there models are made for 40k
THANK YOU!!!! :)
You see the Alpha Legion and Alpahrius and Omegons goal by extent are to Absolutely and utterly bamboozle Tzeench to the point where the Architect of fate doesn't have a fucking clue what is going on, then Alpharius will Defeat Tzeench in such a convoluted manner that involved 10,000 years of planning that scribes will take millennia to write down every detail and more so to even begin to fathom why.
What if due to time portal stuff there is just two alpharious
Omegon lives. Hydra Dominatus
"We are Alpherious, we are legion, expect us...or don't"
I might be five years late but I like this video a lot. 🙂
The hydra has three heads. The twentieth primarch isn't twins, but triplets.
Maybe they got something to do with the warhead that hit the crimson fists headquarter?
The funny part is, they most likely were the FIRST legion created and were just running black ops the whole time. They aren't Legion XX.. they are Legion 0... Omega means last (and best) in Greek numerals, while Alpha is first. So even their heraldry is a paradox/contradiction.
You are the Sons of Alpharius.

We are all Alpharius.

You are Alpharius?

They are Alpharius.

Let's go Alpharius.

*leaves being followed by 30,000 Alpharius'*
What if Omegon was the primarch of one of the lost legions?
Heresy! There's no XXth legion Alpha and never has been. These are 2nd and 11th Legion undercover and their Primarchs.
Burn me at stake, but this Legion is the definition of overpowered. Know everything about your opponent, be a few steps ahead of everyone, let your opponent drown in lies left behind you from the very beginning. Everything about this legion screams "We run this bitch, who are you?". I absolutely adore this legion, I know everything and nothing about it. One man Legion, Single minded, most organized and pristine horde. No other legion comes close to The Unbroken Chain.
Imagine letting your enemy fully prepare for your siege, and decimate them afterwards, have your allies ask you why you did so and just say "Would have been too easy." Mad lad.
The whole alpha legion civil war could have been a diversion leading the traitor or loyalist forces to believe the legion was disjointed making the enemy underestimate them or maybe they were just playing both sides or maybe this is all false who knows?
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the absolute fail sauce known as Kernax Voldorius or Arkos the Faithless.
The first story of Alpharius boarding Horus's flagship is true thats why Alpharius sided with Horus during the heresy as they had spent a lot of time together.
Alpharius was found on Terra omegon was the last.
Aka tzeentch troopers.
What we do know if you have read the FIRST HERETIC you will know there stasis pop landed on a ship after the chaos gods ripped them from terra and spread them across the galaxy
for chaos
It's still "Primarch" singular. One soul, two bodies, as per "Legion"
The Amber King gives a better story of the Alpha legion. the Alpha legion is still loyal to the emperor, just playing as deep operatives.
I am now wanting to start a alpha legion army
Maybe Alpharius never left the emperor's side...
Hydra Dominatus
Can't you see puny loyalists?we are all alpharius.
The Steel Legionnaire for all we know alpha legion could still be loyal, if we know they work for chaos that means that they probably don't
So they may simply be renegade?
Many legions are. Not all got fully corrupted and gave theit soul to a Chaos god
BTW confirmed that Rogal Dorn killed Alpharius.
You sure? cause, I am alpharius..
but it was girlyman.. right?
One is Alive, One is Not
Alpharius died. But Omegon did not. It was a deception. The Ultramarines themselves don't have any record of it.
Also let us remember that the Emperor DID create only 20 primarchs. Not 21.
Alpharius and Omegon are just 2 bodies of the one and only XX Primarch, Alpharius-Omegon.
Since Alpharius-body died, we either have an Omegon-body with the complete soul, or Omegon-body with just half a soul. Could possibly Omegon-halfsoul somehow call back the other half soul from the Warp, and through consciousness transfer (something the Alpha Legion is not new with), possibly bring it back in a clone body of Alpharius-body?
Let us also remember the great amount of genetech the Alpha Legion stole in these 10k years. A possible explanation for this could be that they are going to create a new body for Alpharius-halfsoul. Possibly, even an endless bodies stock for their primarch to use. Maybe they could also be aided in this by Fabius Bile in exchange for some of that great amount of genetech...
Both could be alive, but we have instances of two of the Primarchs "dying." One (being Guilliman's attempt) was definitely a trap and the other (being Dorn's apparent success) is all but confirmed but I still have doubts. Either he's a perpetual (which is a theory I particularly like), this was just one of his decoys and he somehow sent a psychic signal to Omegon to convince him that he was dead, or the record of Dorn killing Alpharius, like almost everything surrounding the Legion isn't entirely accurate.
Most likely though, Alpharius is dead and Omegon controls the Legion, but GW can really do whatever they like with them at this point.
Also, if anyone has the image at 8:15, I would appreciate it if you could link it to me somehow.
Yey!
The Emprah is Alfaryus
yes!!!!!
That would of been the tough one to get done 👍
Thanks to HH Book 3, it was not as bad as I had thought actually!
Tactica Imperialis so 4 to go then you have done them all what's next?
what if the alpha legion is now the inquisition?
We have no knowledge of any legion called Alpha legion but even if we knew we could neither confirm it nor deny it :)
I am Alpharius
I am Alpharius
Who isn't?
What if Alpharius cloned himself, and that was Omegon. What if there are actually more than one of these clones...;)
What if it was Alpharius all along
