So how much of the Ultramarine's current strength in astartes and human auxilia is actually Alpha Legionnaires in disguise?

All of them. Even Robby G himself is actually just Alpharius. Or Omegon.

>>43549195
Alpharius and Omegon are actually a pair of Squats in Space Marine armour.

> Unknown founding, possibly Cursed 21st
> Claim descent from Ultramarines, but their geneseed has notable variations and the Ultras deny association
> Based out of a Mobile Fortress-Monastery named Raptorus Rex (Word Bearers prior to HH had an ancient ship with the same name)
> Fervent devotees to the Imperial Cult; very close ties to Ecclesiarchy
> Known for desolating and burning enemies in close-combat; specifically target enemy civilians and cultural symbols
> After disappearance, they manifest as the Imperial equivalent of daemons

Hmmmmm....
>>
>>43549777
how about you actually name the chapter senpai?
>>
>>43549777

The Word Bearers Raptorus Rex was a Battle Barge. The Fire Hawks Raptorus Rex was a Star Fortress of some sort.
>>
>>43549844

Fire Hawks

>>43549869

It's unlikely that it's the same ship, but recycling names for vessels has pretty potent connotations, especially for a name (formerly) used by a Traitor Legion.

The fact that it was gifted to the Fire Hawks specifically under the orders of Sebastian Thor is noteworthy.

The WB's Raptorus Rex was later renamed to Infidus Imperator, if I remember right. The Fire Hawks using the old name for the similarly ancient homebase of theirs could be pretty potent symbolism.

Especially if they're Loyalist Ashen Circle

Is there a chapter that seems like the Night Lords? I used to think Space Sharks, but it was more or less confirmed they were Raven Guard successors.

Raven Guard
>>
>>43549990

The only named Chapter as far as I can remember to really have a boner for terror tactics on the scale of the Night Lords is, as you mentioned, the Carcharadons.

That said, Loyalist Night Lords were confirmed in the FW books, so it's possible that survivors could have formed a Chapter in the aftermath.

>>43549475
Oh hey, fan fiction bullshit.

We know for a fact the "Primarch" of the Grey Knights is the Emperor himself moron.

Those daemons aren't gonna summon themselves anon.

And it probably involves some kind of psyker bullying or some shit.

Remind me where it says in any GW material that the Grey Knights carry the geneseed of Omegon, and not the Emperor?

Oh?

You can't?

Looks like it's still shitty fanon then.
>>
>>43551194

If you believe in the 'Emperor's Gene-Seed' theory you have no right to be calling anybody on shitty fanon. All gene-seed is simultaneously both the Emperor's and not the Emperor's. It is the Emperor's in that he made it. Its not the Emperor's because you have to be a Primarch to have gene-seed based on your genetic template.

That hypothesis has always been dumb as fuck.
>>
i imagine using the emperor for the genetic template would result in more primarchs, so he wouldnt be suitable for your average super joe that the grey knights are.
>>
>>43551445

It's from a reaching interpretation of a pretty vague and mystical sentence. It's a supposition based on a flimsy interpretation of a vaguely phrased sentence in an old piece of fluff.

So, you know, definitive canon.
>>
>>43549556
I mean, Khornate "daemonology" basically just boils down to "Hey guys, build like.... a ditch or something so we can catch all this blood for a few moments."
>>

Word Bearers.
>>
>>43552325
So? >>43551954 sounds reasonable enough, but if it was using pyskers or any sort of magic, it'd be against Khorne.
>>
>>43551194
The emperor doesn't have geneseed. It's literally the shittiest cover story for "we picked a bunch of traitor geneseed and hoped it wouldn't go too terribly bad" the inquisition has come up with.

I still think people blow the "Khorne hates magic" thing way out of proportion.

I always got the impression that Khorne has psykers but they are more..... visceral with their "magic".
To use standard RPG parlance. Khorne's psykers are the buffers. Khorne is going to have his rituals and rites and he's going to have his warped gifts. Think less librarian and more chaplain.
>>
>>43552599
So why his genetic clone sons do have?
>>
>>43549105

So Ultramarines are basically getting keked by the Alpha Legion?
>>
>>43555388
Alpha Legion think they can outsmart emperor's finest, too bad they don't know that there were never Alpharius and Omegon and they have Guilliman geneseed.

Does anyone know where I can find trays meant to move all your shit from one table to another?
I've searched all sorts of phrases, but I keep finding trays meant to move grouped squads across a table.
I've started playing more tournaments recently and breaking all my shit down is a pain in the ass and a real hassle for my opponent.
>>
>>43549167
It's actually a red herring to trick alpha legion cells into rifling off all their hidden kill phrases in front of loyal troops.

Because fuck that obviously crowbar'd "we am alpharius" twist. I want it to blow up in their faces for once.
>>
>>43551194
I wondered what the deal was with that ferryman.
>>
>>43555376
Translating your awful attempt at communication as "So why do his genetically cloned sons have Gene Seed?"

Because they're not just clones, they were designed and built by the Emperor, including all the extra special Space Marine organs, the most important of which is the Progenoid Glands. Also known as the Gene Seed you uneducated philistine.

The Emperor is the physical manifestation of shit ton of psyker souls. He doesn't have neck-ovaries.
>>
>>43555702
>they were designed and built by the Emperor, including all the extra special Space Marine organs, the most important of which is the Progenoid Glands
Geneseed was made of samples left from primarch creation, not by extracting it directly from primarch himself.

>Emperor is the physical manifestation of shit ton of psyker souls
And he was also called "New Man". Besides 5e-7e GK codex literally mentioned that they have Emperor's geneseed, all grey knight superpowers came from their direct bond with Emps.
And all space marines have his genes. Learn the lore faggot.
>>
>>43555867
left of primarch creation*
>>
>>43555867
they're Alpha legion you dork. Why else was the AL gene seed developed in secret and in isolation from the other legions?
>>
>>43555902
Alpha Legion geneseed = sneaky beaky faggotry.
Emperor's = antichaos psyker superpower.
Got it?
>>
>>43555315
It's stated very clearly - Khorne hates magic/pyskers.
>>
>>43555966
he's cool with magic so long as it's just being used by magical artificers to make badass shit
>>
>>43555925
Bullshit

>>43556027
Alpha legionnaires are generic csm with stealth and sabotage specialisation, they never had strong psyker powers and never fought with daemons.

Wasn't there that one CSM warband that is almost certainly descended from the Space Wolves? That's pretty fucking shady imo.

It's not really something to hmmm over. They more or less outright say it, even if in legends and rumors. They were also first sighted in the Fenrisian sector, and their symbol is a red wolf's head with a pointed tongue.

Khorne hates combat magic, because it's cheating. He's totally cool with magical engines, enchanted weapons and armour, and summoning more dudes to spill more blood.

>>43555500
take a piece of sheet metal and put it in the bottom of a shallow cardboard box a couple inches deep. Glue a magnet into your models bases. They'll stick to the metal sheet in the box and you can carry everything in one go. Since they're magnetized, your squads won't get mixed up when it gets bumped around.
>>
>>43555315
Rituals, daemon blades and daemon engines in the RPG, much less the wargame, aren't governed by psyker abilities.

>>43550096

That's wrong. It was confirmed that the Carcharodons are Raven Guard successors. Which is a shame, the mystery was awesome.
