Kol Saresk Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Okay, this is getting confusing. Can someone just please quote the after the ceremony conversation where we find out who is who for at least once in the story? It's driving me batty and I have enough batwings on my shoulder.

Entei Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 "‘So, Sheed,’ said Omegon, glancing at the Astartes who had worn the name Omegon in his place that evening. What’s the story?"

Kol Saresk Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Okay. So Omegon was Alpharius, Alpharius was Ranko and Ranko was Omegon and the Fourth Wheel was the Fourth Wheel. Right?

Entei Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Out in the desert(meeting Bronzi and Soneka). The true Omegon played Alpharius at the tent. Edit: I see you edited your question. Alpharius was not at the tent. No one played Ranko. Ranko played Omegon.

No Foes Remain Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm just talking about the sheer confusion that the Alpha Legion brings to the table. Thats how they roll, to quote Tommy Lee Jones from Men In Black II "I like my enemies to be confused." To which Will Smith replies: "Man, we all confused."

Kol Saresk Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yeah, I think that's why I prefer the Night Lords. You may not know who holds the knife, but at least you know who everyone is.

Hyaenidae Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 That's called a tactical psychological advantage, mi amigo. It's what they've always been known for, it's only now that we're finding out what exactly that contitutes in relation to their small and large scale tactics. The Iron Warriors have their vast array of artillery, combined with mathmatical warfare. The Ultramarines have their consistant application of tactical knowledge. The World Eaters have their violence and a strond sword-arm. The Alpha Legion have confusion and misdirection. It's their greatest strength.

Hyaenidae Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 More like the Special Activities Division.

Wade Garrett Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Okay. So Omegon was Alpharius, Alpharius was Ranko and Ranko was Omegon and the Fourth Wheel was the Fourth Wheel. Right? "Who?"

Wulfkry Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 @Noctis After reading your post about that pic of the Emperor battling Horus I truly hope your theory turns out to be the case. That idea is just freaking awesome. Arik Tanaris and the last of the Thunder Warriors dying by their lords side after everything. Now that is a outstanding scene to write and to read about. Odins balls thats how that scene plays out in my head from now on whenever I see that picture Thunder Warrios not custodes..

Kol Saresk Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 How do we know Noctus just isn't A D-B posing as a Texan? Or even that A D-B isn't just a pseudonym used by Dan Abnett, the original Alpharius, and that the guy we see in pictures is just a paid actor? How? How do we know? kidding. I think.

Noctus Cornix Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Its a vision both Heathens and I share that we once spoke about during a conversation a while back. While I must admit the complete lack of ability at the moment to send any submissions or ideas to Black Library has left me in a fairly depressed state, I might be willing to just write a little something, if anyone's interested.

Apothecary Vaddon Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd require a little more than "More dead War Hounds than Thunder Warriors" before saying the TW were better at fighting than the Astartes. For all we know, they ambushed the Hounds after letting them wear themselves out killing the entire population of mortal prisoners. Remember, Arik Taranis rebuked Ghota for mocking the Astartes in Outcast, calling them worthy successors who WERE NOT weaker than the Warriors, just different. Depending on your definition, Stephen Hawking might be just as strong worthy as, say, Dolph Lundgren, taking into account brainpower.

RapatoR Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Well this is the thing that I love about Legion. You can read it 100 times and you will find always something, that will surprise you, a hidden message that you didn't registered before. I bet you that Legion contains plenty of another messages to be revealed, that will make sense only after carefuly reading other Heresy books (or they will be never revealed)... Thats Abnetts mastery.
