Why hasn't Alpharius's model been released yet? What are they waiting for? Thanks to John French's hamfisted opus Alpharius is dead as a hammer and we all know that Papa Smurf has Omegon's ticket on Eskrador. So the role played by the XX Legion in the horus heresy was, and as is my favorite work by the great bard, much ado about nothing! They mostly fought themselves and did not participate in the seige of terra. Just give us Alpharius's model already! Bah.

It's being worked on atm. And we don't really know anything about Eskrador, with how the AL are. Anything could've happened.

You're implying that the Alpha Legion needs a Primarch to do anything in the Heresy.

That's precisely why Alpharius let himself get killed - because his legion didn't need him.

Get in line. Imperial Fist players have been waiting for Dorn for a while too. Let's break it down:

1. Dark Angels Lion El'Jonson- no model
2. <don't ask>
3. Emperor's Children Fulgrim
4. Iron Warriors Perturabo
5. White Scars Jaghatai Khan- no model
6. Space Wolves Leman Russ
7. Imperial Fists Rogal Dorn- no model
8. Night Lords Konrad Curze
9. Blood Angles Sanguinius- no model
10. Iron Hands Ferrus Manus
11. <insert fan made Legion here>
12. World Eaters Angron
13. Ultramarines Roboute Guiliman
14. Death Guard Mortarion
15. Thousand Sons Magnus the Red
16. Sons of Hirus Horus Lupercal
17. Word Bearers Lorgar
18. Salamanders Vulkan
19. Raven Guard Corax
20. Alpha Legion Alpharius Omegon- no model

FW does seem to be a bit behind at the moment. They have been putting out Primarch models along side their book, but still haven't done anything for the Imperil Fists or Alpha Legion. The next book is Book VIII, and is supposed to have Dark Angels and Blood Angels, along with Dark Mechanicum and Daemons. We'll be lucky to see that book by the end of 2018, so maybe they'll slot in Alpharius and Dorn?

Dorn is next. Almost finished, just some cloak details by all accounts.

Alpharius is scheduled after.

More important question is where the feth is the Lion?!

Knowing how long my wife takes to pick out what dress to wear, L'John might be a while. Download a poker app to help pass the time. It's what I did.

Still in the closet last I checked.

Late. Just like at Terra.

God this post reeks of entitlement, you'll get your turn, as Fenriz and Tamwulf have said Dorn is next, just be glad you'r legion has rules, think about all the white scars players who have next to nothing and aren't likely to see a book until the end of 2019 at the very earliest.

Amen brother!

I exalted your post, even though you too fell for the disinformation campaign that was Eskrador!

(Long story short - that IA Article - while awesome - predates the New Horus Heresy by quite a bit, and a lot of it won't make much sense anymore. At least not yet. Also, in that same article Alpharius is very tall (almost as tall as Horus) and his marines are all also unusually tall as far as marines go, which is how they can all impersonate him, more or less.)

There's also that other rumor floating around about Omegon and the Grey Knights, so...who knows!

But yes, give us Alpharius already!

Book 3 was a long time ago!!!

Looking at that list, it actually is rather impressive as to just how many Primarchs they have released.

Agreed, especially when at most they had 3 people sculpting them (it may have even been 2 at any one time, im not sure), and only have 1 now.

Agreed. Only five of the eighteen have yet to be released, and three of those don't even have rules yet.
