And that, my friends, is why Abaddon has no arms.

Alpha legion has the potential to also be the most badass painted army, just saying

Because they haven't been able to infiltrate them? It's like asking why the Israeli's caught Adolf Eichman but not Dr. Mangela.

According to almost ALL existing fluff, the Alphas HAVE infiltrated the Ultramarines, in fact it is insinuated in the existing fluff (forget where I read it), that they have infiltrated most of the current chapters and other organizations within the Imperium (though places like the Administratum and Ecclesiarchy are much easier without marines than the Adeptus Astartes)

The Alpha Legion ARE the Ultramarines. Guilliman never killed Alpharius; Alpharius underwent radical surgery and gene-therapy before the battle, then separated Guilliman from his troops, killed him from ambush, and took his place.

Admittedly, this did backfire somewhat when Fulgrim ended up stabbing Alpharius in the neck; that set back the grand plan by several hundred years at least, since Omegon didn't know who all of Alpharius's agents were. But it's back on schedule by now, and pretty soon Omegon will be able to activate the subconscious commands buried deep in the minds of 90% of the Ultramarine successor chapters and, with them and the radically-overstrength Ultramar Imperial Guard regiments, suddenly annex fully half of the Ultima Segmentum along with his Tau allies. The distraction provided by that should allow his agents within the Black Legion to lead a breakout from the Eye of Terror via the secret Warp-tunnel they've been constructing which loops over the galactic plane and drops them back into reality behind the Cadian Gate, causing Abbadon's (Or rather Omegon's) 14th Black Crusade to crumple the Imperial defenses and plunge the whole Segmentum Obscurus into chaos; after which, of course, the Alpha Legion operatives within the Black Legion First Company will assassinate Abbadon and splinter his forces into hundreds of competing warbands, to prevent them from attacking Terra before Omegon's Ultramarine armies can get there and assume full control.

(Disclaimer: The above was written purely for the lulz.)

Do I smell a career at BL? Oh, nvm, it makes too much sense...

Abbadon is actually Luc Sedirae, turned traitor to Black Legion prior to the though assassination of him disguised as Horus, which was in fact a regular average joe astartes disguised as Luc Sedirae disguised as Horus. Hes failed thus far just to lower expectations. Omegon will still detonate the explosives, however, just for dramatic effect.

Well, the 13. Black Crusade is currently going quite well so, if the stars are right and Cthulhu is in a good mood, 6.edition might actualy see some kind of ( of course limited ) Chaos victory at the Cadian Gate?.

**The Crusader**

Yeah

No they make too much money from the cadian set

**Great White**

Just figured I'd post this here because it's about Alpha Legion. Since Alpharius has a twin brother Omegan, wouldn't this mean there would be 21 primarchs?
