So.....what's the deal with Alpha Legion?

Are they traitors? Loyalists? suffering from an identity crises?
>>
>>46338239
Yes.
>>
>>46338239

This picture cracks me up. Like he's throwing the clock off to reveal 'AH-HA I AM ACTUALLY A SPACE MARINE!'

As though no one standing near the 7' tall, 700 man dude in power armor standing in the corner.

>Are they traitors?

Yes.
>>
>>46338239
>Are they traitors? Loyalists? suffering from an identity crises?
Mu.
>>
>>46338946

No.
>>
>>46338239
Yes and no.
>>
>>46338239
They have betrayed the Imperium so they are traitors.
However their true goals are entirely unknown.
There is the slight chance that they are working for the benefit of the Imperium, but that doesn't make them any less of a bunch of traitors.
>>
Lore explanation: Nobody knows. Alpharius/Omegon began with pure intentions to save humanity by siding with the traitors as per a prophecy, but as the Heresy went on you see a split forming between the two (Alph and Omg are now working against each other as of Scars/The Serpent Beneath)

-Most Accepted Fan Theory/Speculation: They started out pure, but over 10,000 years of war have lost their original mission and have been slowly corrupted by Chaos. Alpharius was the more traitor of the two and arranged Omegon's death by Guilliman.
>>
>>46338984
maybe
>>
>>46338984
How are they not traitors?
>>
>>46338239
They're the edgy Anti-hero faction of warhammer 40k

They are against the Imperium, but also don't serve Chaos. The only thing they "serve" is there own goals which no one truly knows except for them.

they're literally "nothing personal kid" the Legion

"edgy" and "nothing personal kid" memes need to die.
>>
>>46338324
BL finally addressed this in the book Legion where the AL walks around with field generations that disguise them as normal looking people, even their footprints are smaller.
>>
>>46339121

Dunno
>>
>>46339340
Well I'm glad we established they are traitors.
>>
>>46339388
traitors in the sense that they fuck with the Imperiums interests
>>
>>46339082
I don't know.
>>
>>46339388

They're not
>>
>>46339075
What did they do?

Are they just having a cold war or straight up murdering each other's legionaire?

>>46338239
I think the Alpha Legion just does what they want and tends to not fuck each other too much compared with like everyone else.

I keep it simple and view the Alpha Legion as their own affiliation and whatever their schemes are, they are all designed to strengthen and improve the position of the Alpha Legion vs everyone else.

Because I see a load of people here consistently try to classify them as traitors or secret loyalists, when it is rather clear they are more of a rogue legion that abuses and takes advantage of the wider hierarchies of all other forces in the galaxy to push their own agenda.
>>
>>46339411
Yes, traitor bastards.

>>46339639
How not?
>>
>>46339710

Ask Alpharius
>>
>>46339721
Why would I ask a traitor?
>>
>>46339162
They're not nearly as edgy as other traitor Legions though (Looking at you, Night Lords).

They're just kind of there, a mystery to others and probably a mystery to themselves.

>Lord Carron what are your orders?

>I dunno, let's go fuck up some Rhinos.
>>
>>46339753
Who's a traitor?
>>
>>46339826
The Alpha Legion.
>>
>>46339447
Can you repeat the question?
>>
>>46338239
It doesn't matter.
>>
>>46340312
then you have female space marines
>>
>>46338239
They're traitors. Legion is atrocious fanwank.
>>
>>46338239
>Are they traitors? Loyalists? suffering from an identity crises?

yes
>>
>>46339162
>they're literally "nothing personal kid" the Legion
Thats nightlords. Alpha are the all according to Keikaku legion. They fell for Tzeentch's biggest scam ever, and genuinely think they're fighting chaos
>>
>>46338239
>Are they traitors? Loyalists? suffering from an identity crises?

Yes. I am Alpharius.
>>
>>46339162
You've literally just described the Night Lords Kiddo

You not the boss of me now!
>>
>>46338239
Maybe, yes and no.

Though in the books they strive to weaken/kill the chaos gods, by removing their main source of sustenance. i;e Humanity.

Its what the emperor would have done.

Oh my god, the Tyranids are the good guys.
>>
>>46339316
More proof that black library is just a bunch of hacks. How the hell are you disguising footprints with a projector bolted onto your belt? Anything behind them would destroy the illusion. Good thing 40k isn't full of crowds and rubble or anything.
>>
>>46341598
human footprint Stilts on the bottom of their shoes?

Of course now we need anti-grav generators to keep the alpha legionnaire from sinking into the dirt, the mud, the snow, or from cracking the cement, powering the rubble or indenting the wood floor.

>>46338324
Not a cloak

Is a car cover
