Subject: Anyone know why the Alpha Legion is the only legion not shown in GW's teaser?
In the teaser video for the Traitor legions book, "News just in, direct from the eye of terror", many symbols of the traitor legions flashed up including: World Eaters, Night Lords, Thousand Sons, Word Bearers, Iron Warriors, Emperor's Children, Death Guard and Black Legion.
But where is Alpha Legion? Does anyone have any information on where our favourite reptilians are hiding?

Sure looks like the Alpha Legion at the 17 second mark.

They must have fixed it because AL definitely weren't on there before. The first time I watched I realised they were showing legion symbols but afterwards wondered where AL were, so I watched it again (still not AL) and just to be sure watched again and counted how many symbols appeared (8)
Turns out GW were just trolling us

Alpha Legion is squatted. Just like how we make you think our Primarch is dead.

I tried to look at the symbols for hidden Alpha Legion stuff the first time, but yeah, that's a new teaser that includes them. Original didn't have them.

Just like how we've always been at war with Eastasia.

Don't you know the others were all Alpha Legion? Appropriating other peoples' uniforms and kit to sneak in places is sort of their shtick.
(I suspect they won't get a rule that lets them borrow units out of other SM/CSM armies the way they do in 30k, but I want to let GW know that it's a terrible missed opportunity.)
