I actually prefer John Grammaticas to Alpha legion..they are my least favourite founding chapter and probably my least favourite of all chapters, its a close call with Space Sharks for the 💩
By completing the time loop that helped Oll and he get the knife to Emperor, John Grammaticus is the true savior of not only the Imperium, but the Galaxy!!
He could have returned but Ingo Pech was just gone. John does give several suggestions about how Ingo might be able to escape by himself before he leaves him. Since John was attacked there by another marine and the Palace forces still above him, I doubt he would have stuck around that location for any length of time.
If you got walls in 40k that is clearly on you; oh! that is why Chaos does weird shit to their walls, stupid me thought that would be just emo teenagers decorating their first room
Gotta love how in retrospect John screwed up big time and kept out another fighter who could’ve helped handle Erebus. Also if he’s traveling through time too then he could easily be brought to the present time to die.
Assuming this might hold some importance : French here. La "Maison Dieu" is a major arcana from the Tarot Card of Marseille (French city) and is practically this Tarot's version of the "Tower"' (with the lightning striking the Tower of Babel). However, where the Tower is generally a symbol of catastrophe, "la Maison Dieu" is instead associated with change, transformation, regeneration, rebuilding, etc. In this version, the top of the Tower is opened, with a flame erupting from it, with two people falling to the ground. It's left to interpretation if the fire is a result of an internal cause (like some experiment gone wrong) or the result of a stroke of lightning (like in the usual "Tower" card and the Tower of Babel story). The card is basically a symbol of destruction, leading or opening to a beneficial reconstruction. It's inversed version however, warns of crisis and failure. Make of that what you will.
**John Grammaticus shows back up in 40K** Chrono: “No… how are you back?” John: “Dan Abnet kinda forgot I was no longer a perpetual.” Chrono: “No!!!” John: “Also it turns out I was the Emperor’s Dad the entire time.”
@@marcialhd i am not super up to date with all the lore but where does this idea come from that emps has a father, as far as i know consensus was that he was essentially a group of psychic shamans that merged themselfs into the emperor sometime around the start of civilisation on terra
@@carlod5818 the idea was that all the shamans' souls fused together and were reborn in a singular body of the Emperor, but the Emperor himself was born like anyone else
So basically, from what I understand from the new lore on Alpha Legion.... Alpharius (real Alpharius) is actually a loyalist because of the fact that he sent the command code "Zephon" to Ingo and his squad of marines to programme them to be loyal to the emperor, but that command got intercepted by a filler-NPC character pysker witch that somehow re-programmed that command code to "Orpheus" to side with chaos against their will and Ingle being somewhat aware of being compromised made a "on-the-low" move to have a landmine taped to his chest to prevent the filler-NPC character pysker witch from using him on the chessboard against the imperium....?
Imagine being Ingopech standing there for whoever knows how long. Hope still in your heart that you’re friend, an enemy or even some random stranger might come to save you.
They need to make a book just about all the shit that is buried beneath the palace, like the Alpha Legion Space Marines or the Sons of horus Terminators.
@@marcialhd There's a group of Terminators that are stuck somewhere below the palace in a drill, because the Imperial Fists filled their tunnel with fast hardening concrete.
On the mine John used: assuming it's just a normal Munitorum explosive, it would become unstable and basically useless in a couple centuries. All that Legionate has to do is wait
Ive said this before and I'll say it again: I hope that Alpha Legion's Big Plot gets done with sooner rather than later. Because there's only so much intrigue and deceit I can stomach before it gets REALLY TIRING.
Wow crazy, but do you know who IS in the palace? "Cypher" who somehow has intimate knowledge of the palace, has resistance to psychic mental pressure, is a master manipulater, and was told by big E "not yet". Makes you think.
Have you heard of the "Lernaean Brotherhood"? they are a faction of Alpha legion that are mentioned in the first Fabius Bile book for sending an agent to infiltrate the Consortium. I don't think they get a mention in Harrowmaster
Considering the results of the Alpharius book and the typical belief that Alpharius is loyal and Omegon was traitor (battle of pluto, everything lining up even more now with this lore drop), I think the Alpha Legion and Ingo Pech definitely will have a spotlight in the next few years or so, it's not a crazy Idea.
John Grammaticus: i'M gOiNg To SaVe HuMaNiTy Aso John Grammaticus: inadverdently pretty much dooms humanity a few times in trying to save it There's a special level of frustration I have for all these Perpetual and Cabal plots 😂
Knowing the usual tactic of the Alpha Legion? If he is Deathrow, then likey he completed his assignment after being freed by whomever, sent orders for legionnaires to infiltrate Chaos under the guise of 'being allies' and then went on with Eisenhorn to some goal he's pursuing. It would make sense then for big battles like Vraks (or others where the Alpha Legion shows up) to have some severe 'mishaps' and 'misfortunes' fall on the Chaos side and stop the steamroll.
Did anyone else find it really funny when Chrono said about Pech exploding? Like the poor guy is there for timeless hours, planning and plotting and making all his plans-within-plans, then eventually time starts, there is a slight earthquake...and he simply falls over and explodes?
@adamredbeard5232 I don't think so...though it started getting all metaphysical at the end so anything is possible, but plenty of marines and all were fighting and dying in that "stopped" time field, and they seemed to stay dead
Do you think Orpheus Protocol and the reference of Orpheus in reference to the king in yellow may actually be Valdor working with Alpharius to fight chaos directly?
Here's a completely wild thought: we know about Alpharius and Omegon. But how many heads does the Alpha Legion Hydra symbol have? What if there's a *third* primarch brother, who's been switching sides back and forth the whole time?
This gives real hope to the rise and return of several legions, Lion returning, Corvus alive, Clonegrim and Alpharius(Omegon with a mustache), Russ, Jhagathai and Vulkan, Heck, even Dorn has been hinted to still be alive. Sounds like an epic square off if i have ever heard i have ever heard one
As always when discussing the Alpha Legion my head hurts. However I may be seeing the pattern as how Valdor has created so many marines in his pocket dimension. Alpha Legion stole the process for speeding up the creation of space marines from Corax during the heresy. And in another book, I cant remember the name of they have begun the process of studying primaris marines. Getting samples from dead marines. So the alpha legion is in some form helping Valdor? I love the sons of the Hydra, but man they are confusing. Good video by the way.
If it is the the case that Ingo goes on to become Deathrow sometime in the mid 41st millennium, that would make him *insanely old.* Provided he didn't spend any time in the Eye of Terror, he'd be one of the oldest space marines to canonically exist.
Connecting the loose end of Ingo Pech to Death Row makes complete sense, considering all of the callbacks (forwards?) that Dan Abnett seeded into EATD. If Death Row isn’t Pech himself, then he could be connected to him. Possibly one of the stasis AL warriors.
Y’all wanna know what’s coming? The Tyranids will make for Terra and Eisenhorn will find Valdor with bequin, cerubieal (it’s Samus), and a number of others who will needs to get into the throne room via the imperial webway given the Terran system is swarmed. They will somehow find Fabius cawl or pho and have him make an anti nix bio weapon and save the day.
Didn't Pech also state that once triggered there was no way to permanently revoke the psychic order? And that only the psi dampener holding actae back temporarily allowed him to bypass the order. Or did I imagine that bit?
If Ingo and Deathrow are the same guy and Dan Abnett is trying to tell me that 10000 years old space marine is kicking ass like noone's buisness, I'm gonna rage quit...
at this point the only way the alpha legion could still suprise me is if it turns out that it was all a psyop that big e was orchestrating with only himself and his psychic illusions to this day
I really want there to be a confirmed, new loyalist sect of AL. Though I'd assume in the modern age they'd have to be rebranded and carefully monitored. Being and AL fan is a long...patient experience man...
Appreciate it Big fan of the alpha legion Love what they stand for love what they do thank you for providing any Lord all considering almost no one else does
I kinda feel like somone shuda told Dan to stop sniffing his own farts and maybe not use end and the death vol 1 -3 to set up his books. Shuda had more focus on anyone other then his dam little crew. I kinda think thats why vol2 was awhole lot of nothing really.
You know, completely forgot about the lack of Ingo in volume 3, guess its probably gonna be one of those hanging threads that doesn't get addressed until GW fancies it (so never)
Maybe the high lords found them and conditioned them into what are now the Minotaurs. I think they are said to be bigger and stronger than average marines.
However the minotaurs show no hints of alpha legion behaviour. They are brutal fighters who prefer close combat. The minotaurs are more likely tweaked world eaters
I don’t know much about the Eisenhorn stories, but I’m really hoping Ingo isn’t gone. I’d rather not have my Harrowmaster canonically die in the Imperial basement.
Ingo Pech being Deathrow is something I've never considered before. However, I still believe (at least for now) that Ingo died while assuming the mental of Alpharius on Eskrador.
Nothing to do with ur video (good video btw), but my buddy plays Alpha Legion and has the forgeworld alpharius model, and plays it in his army as a abaddon proxy. It's such a cool model
6:22 yes, thats exactly how it works, but what ACTUALLY happened was that the tremors caused some dust to fall onto his face and he went "Maybe I can scratch just a littl----" *BLAAAAMMM*
The twins are of two minds on who to support, their Legion mirrors them, both of the twins have faked their deaths and are living assumed lives within their Legion, waiting for a trigger that the other was found again and killed.
Well the EC Chaos marine recognizes Deathrow when he break or tears off Deathrow’s mask (been to long, can’t remember which). When he sees Deathrow’s face he says something like “You? How?” Now true, the AL legionnaires were made to look like Alpharius but this EC chaos marine is one of the OGs back to the heresy. He would know the AL legionnaires were made to look like Alpharius, to one degree or another. But this particular one he *knows*. That tells me Deathrow is not just any old AL legionnaire. Was Ingo Pech that noticeable and well known to the other legions? Or is Deathrow finally making an honest statement of “I am Alpharius.”
Those primaris marines sure are tall... I wonder which legion also had tall marines and had access to the pure raptor project giving them the ability to produce uncorrupted marines with more of the Primarchs gene seed? Oh.... uh oh.
I just hope Ingo Pech does activate the Marines as loyalist like ordered. It would create an opposition for Harrowmaster and his bullshit. And please for Emperor's sake, bring the remaining Primarch back in some extent, just waiting for the Heresy era loyalist to awake under the palace to mark his return to the setting or something.
God i so badly want them to make a loyalist version of Harrowmaster where the various loyal watbands come together and it sets up a third novel which would be the Alpha Legion civil war
In the Harrowmaster book, it basically confirms that to their knowledge, all the marines from that period are dead. The only living marines who fought in the Horus heresy on the loyalist side in the current setting are entombed in dreadnoughts. Astartes don’t have 10,000 year life times so unless Pech put himself in stasis which is timed to wake him up 10k years later after he inevitably disabled the bomb or he went into the warp are the only ways he is alive in the current setting. Those AL in stasis under the imperial palace are probably still there but the only one who knows the code word to wake them would be Omegon. The current setting alpha legion are as lost in objective as the Night Lords are. The difference is they are all from the current setting while the night lords alive in the current setting fought in the HH. I think the Alpha legion civil war is going to happen but in the past, not current setting. The Scouring series will show the destruction of the legion as a cohesive force and the break up into war bands. You’ll also probably get the fate of those under the imperial palace in stasis and pech’s fate more clearly laid out.
Maybe Pech helped Constantine Valdor turn the AL marines in Stasis into those winged Blood Angels, as it did take Cawl 10,000 years to make the primaris from scratch, 10,000 years would be plenty to modify some wings onto some preexisting marines, this also would explain why he isn't already at Terra, he's been there, done that, now he is just an agent for the king in yellow, over seeing his other projects. Maybe, but you know more about the Omega legion than myself (a John Gramaticus fan) so take all that with a huge grain of salt 😅
Unrelated to most everything, but I've always been curious, what's the origin for Chrono (your OC/avatar's) colour scheme? As far as I can tell it isn't a masque mentioned otherwise, and I noticed while playing the rogue trader CRPG that the solitaire there has yellow/blue diamonds as well, with black as the main other colour, and it's just fully caught my attention that it's shared with Chrono, thus I'm deathly curious, if it was just colours you liked or some obscure Masque I'm not aware of. (I've been digging for this information for like hours)
I can’t believe The King in Yellow turned out to be 50 Alpha Legionaries in a John Gramatticus suit.

@@jerryjezzaberry5009 it would be cool if they could be brought back into the fold 😀
@Colonel-Commissar_Renik not for the imperium seeing as they're on a mission to attack the Palace.
@@jerryjezzaberry5009 fair, but didn't Loken nearly convince Abaddon to surrender to Dorn?
John freaking Gramaticus.
You should make a playlist for the alpha legion
Glad you did this one. They are odd bunch.
Nothing to do with ur video (good video btw), but my buddy plays Alpha Legion and has the forgeworld alpharius model, and plays it in his army as a abaddon proxy. It's such a cool model
6:22 yes, thats exactly how it works, but what ACTUALLY happened was that the tremors caused some dust to fall onto his face and he went "Maybe I can scratch just a littl----" *BLAAAAMMM*
The only creditable Alpha Legion source. Yesss
Hahah self asserted title right there
The twins are of two minds on who to support, their Legion mirrors them, both of the twins have faked their deaths and are living assumed lives within their Legion, waiting for a trigger that the other was found again and killed.
Valdor turned the alpha legion on terra into the custodes that run their goofy ahhh retirement plan
I’m not sure if it’s the music but I heard the “buckshot” pop
Well the EC Chaos marine recognizes Deathrow when he break or tears off Deathrow’s mask (been to long, can’t remember which). When he sees Deathrow’s face he says something like “You? How?”
Now true, the AL legionnaires were made to look like Alpharius but this EC chaos marine is one of the OGs back to the heresy. He would know the AL legionnaires were made to look like Alpharius, to one degree or another. But this particular one he *knows*. That tells me Deathrow is not just any old AL legionnaire. Was Ingo Pech that noticeable and well known to the other legions? Or is Deathrow finally making an honest statement of “I am Alpharius.”
Those primaris marines sure are tall... I wonder which legion also had tall marines and had access to the pure raptor project giving them the ability to produce uncorrupted marines with more of the Primarchs gene seed? Oh.... uh oh.
I just hope Ingo Pech does activate the Marines as loyalist like ordered. It would create an opposition for Harrowmaster and his bullshit.
And please for Emperor's sake, bring the remaining Primarch back in some extent, just waiting for the Heresy era loyalist to awake under the palace to mark his return to the setting or something.
Could you please make a video of the top 5 or 10 books that have eldar harlequins appear?
God i so badly want them to make a loyalist version of Harrowmaster where the various loyal watbands come together and it sets up a third novel which would be the Alpha Legion civil war
Watching this video makes me think of Pepe Silvia meme.
In the Harrowmaster book, it basically confirms that to their knowledge, all the marines from that period are dead. The only living marines who fought in the Horus heresy on the loyalist side in the current setting are entombed in dreadnoughts. Astartes don’t have 10,000 year life times so unless Pech put himself in stasis which is timed to wake him up 10k years later after he inevitably disabled the bomb or he went into the warp are the only ways he is alive in the current setting. Those AL in stasis under the imperial palace are probably still there but the only one who knows the code word to wake them would be Omegon. The current setting alpha legion are as lost in objective as the Night Lords are. The difference is they are all from the current setting while the night lords alive in the current setting fought in the HH. I think the Alpha legion civil war is going to happen but in the past, not current setting. The Scouring series will show the destruction of the legion as a cohesive force and the break up into war bands. You’ll also probably get the fate of those under the imperial palace in stasis and pech’s fate more clearly laid out.
Great video man. We just have to wait for the next Alpha Legion book to find out if all of this was a lie
Ah yes my favourite Rapper marine, Deathrow
Maybe Pech helped Constantine Valdor turn the AL marines in Stasis into those winged Blood Angels, as it did take Cawl 10,000 years to make the primaris from scratch, 10,000 years would be plenty to modify some wings onto some preexisting marines, this also would explain why he isn't already at Terra, he's been there, done that, now he is just an agent for the king in yellow, over seeing his other projects. Maybe, but you know more about the Omega legion than myself (a John Gramaticus fan) so take all that with a huge grain of salt 😅
Unrelated to most everything, but I've always been curious, what's the origin for Chrono (your OC/avatar's) colour scheme? As far as I can tell it isn't a masque mentioned otherwise, and I noticed while playing the rogue trader CRPG that the solitaire there has yellow/blue diamonds as well, with black as the main other colour, and it's just fully caught my attention that it's shared with Chrono, thus I'm deathly curious, if it was just colours you liked or some obscure Masque I'm not aware of.
(I've been digging for this information for like hours)
We don’t know they were loyal at the end of the heresy.
Personally I think Alpharious was trying to defect in praetorian of dorn.
Will GW actually do something with this new Lore?
Uuuuhhhhhhhh.... maybe
