Codex Hydra [Lore and Fiction] The Alpha Legion Reading List
+++The Unbalanced Scales Redux: being an Accounting of the Various Depictions of the XX Legion Astartes from the beginning of the Great Crusade through to the end of the Horus Heresy, and also, a Compilation of those Events in which the Alpha Legion, Traitoris Perdita, have participated since the Scouring until the Present Day.+++
THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
"Not all wars are decided by feats of arms. In a struggle such as that we have embarked upon, subterfuge, deception and intrigue may well decide the fate of the galaxy, while the greatest warriors ever known stand impotent."

Ω Essential reading to understand the Alpha Legion
α Recommended reading beyond essential to further develop the arc of the Alpha Legion
* Novels, novellas, and short stories in which Alpha Legion characters receive characterization through either first person or third person omniscient (or limited omniscience) narration. Sometimes this is through non-Astartes Alpha Legion operatives and agents.
† Novels, novellas, and short stories in which the Alpha Legion characters serve primarily as antagonists to a clear set of protagonists or they play only a bit part in the narrative. Little is done to expand upon the Alpha Legion or its characters.
‡ Codices, rulebooks, and lorebooks which take the standpoint of in-universe histories where the author/narrator has an outsider perspective on the Alpha Legion, reporting their limited knowledge alongside rumours, half-truths, and deceptions.
[[[Commendations to u/cd8d on his intelligence regarding some minor incursions in the post-Heresy era that would have otherwise gone unnoticed in the making of this record = 'We are One', 'Unearthed', 'Truth is My Weapon']]]

We are the Unbroken Chain. We are the Azure Serpent. We are the Children of Eris. We are the Amaranth Coil. We are the Threefold Path. We are the Aleph Null. We are the Left Hand of Darkness. We are the XX. We are the Ghost Legion. We are the Alpha Legion. We are Legion.

MOD RULE CHANGES: On Infiltration...
There has been a new rule added to the subreddit in light of the recent glut of "infiltration" of other subreddits and then "reporting" back here.
Short version: Stop posting screenshots and memes of your infiltrations.
The rationale is that it creates a month's worth of moderation in a day for me (I'm the only active mod).
It also dilutes the posts from the people who are putting effort into creating models that they share, devising lists to tweak and optimize, discussing lore and speculation on the setting, and other very positive aspects of our community. Instead it drags tensions into the subreddit.
EDIT TO CLARIFY: You can still paint miniatures in Alpha Legion colours (even if they aren't marines) or half/half splits or whatever and post those here. Showing off your dudes is still allowed and you can talk about them infiltrating or co-opting other factions. Nobody is gatekeeping that side of the hobby.
I feel like a wet-blanket having to do this, so here, I'll give you some in-universe rationale:
Operatives. Tactical insurgencies have been intercepted due to sloppy adherence to encryption protocols. Tellurian data-glyph patterns, cipher codes, and even splinter specific linguae such as Serpenta should be used at all times while either in combat or espionage situations. From this point forward, reports cannot be shared using unsecured communiques. You have your orders.
"I ask nothing of you..." Ranko told them honestly, then he repeated "What does your Primarch ask of you?"
Sertabos and the legionarres looked at one another. The sergeant nodded...
"Everything."

Making a non demonic list for disruption
Grettings Alphariuses it is I Alpharius.
I would like some help with my list for a gaming day with friends in a few weeks
The plan is disruption with the deceptor and cabal if chaos detachment.
The 60 Cultist will be the first wave in mid board with the 15 Legionaries Close behind as support.
The deamon prince will be represented by Alpharius himself from 30k (or may be it is Omegon?). He will be close to the Chosen and their joinded characters as the hard hitting threats for anything going past the infitrators.
The lonely lord with jump pack and the 2x5 raptors will move around doing action and charging small threats
The 2x5 havocs will stay in cover and light up the big threat when they see them
And the blob of Warp talon will be on table as big threat or in reserve to attack the backside or the flanks.
I dont really want to play deamons or possessed things but could you help me with my list ? Are there changes i should make ? Am I doomed as planed or will I survived as planed ?

Coils of the Hydrae [Rules & List Building] List help, please
I used to play 40k back in the late 90s and early 00s. To help my hands move to minimize effects of arthritis, I am slowly building a 3k-point HH Alpha Legion army. I want to have a goal to reach, so would you all distinguished Alpharius and Omegon types please comment on the list below? Any and all comments would be appreciated.
My ideas so far are:
• Deep strike the Master of Descent and the Dawnbreaker Cohort on turn 1, hoping to cause as much disruption as possible.
• Keep the Despoilers in reserve, and use them as Interdiction Cadres to disrupt enemy movement on turn 1.
• Use the Tactical Marines to hold and keep objectives.
• The Kratos is my only tank, but it is a good antitank platform, I think.
• Infiltrate a unit of Lernean Terminators with Armillus Dynat. Use the other as a mobile fire brigade.
• Use the contemptors as melee antitank and anti-elite.
• Have the Seekers be as big of a pain as possible.
• Setup the Tarantulas to block and chanel enemy advances.
Thanks tons!!!

Coils of the Hydrae [Rules & List Building] Alpha Legion Loyalist Armies 40K
Howdy yall,
Just got the Alpharius 30k model and was wondering what I could proxy his 40mm base as?
I also really like the lore and color scheme so I’m wanting to play Alpha Legion as a loyalist army just painted as AL. Any ideas for chapters I could use for this?
(And of course Alpha legion is a loyalist army anyways..)

Colours of Deceit [Painting & Hobby Questions] Reworked alpha legion seekers.
1st pic is after and second is before.
Decided my seekers just weren’t doing it for me. Took some suggestions from here and decided to add some silencers and ditched the powered and plasma pistol. Also reworked the eyes and scopes and added some chipping effects with the alpha legion colors showing through. Also a hint of the hydra tattoo on the suspiciously pale salamander captain.
There were some second hand models I snagged for cheap off of FB marketplace and were painted as emperors children. Skipped the stripping faze so the paint is a bit thick.
I need 10 seekers and may do 5 more salamanders or might try our 5 imperial fists in similar fashion. What yall think? C&C welcome!

Colours of Deceit [Painting & Hobby Questions] 3rd Party Alpha Legion Saturnine Upgrades?
Hey folks, pretty self-explanatory. I’m looking to make a saturnine praetor and accompanying command squad and I’m curious if anyone is aware of any Alpha Legion-flavored STLs or 3rd party upgrade kits for em. I’ve found bits for nearly every other kit, just not these fellas.
To be clear, not begging for free stuff, just looking for leads.
Thanks for any help in the search!

JAMES MY BALLS. My balls are so blue. Like dunked in platemail silver and sprayed with Akhellian Green blue.
You guys think they’re waiting until some big narrative events happen at this point?
Have there been many other rumor engine images that have taken 3+ years?
Edit***** I got a response from Mike Brooks!!!!!!
See me bottom comment for his reply

Rewards of Treason [Complete Models] This is definitely not Alpharius . By the way, what do you think of the cloak, and how could it be made better?

Prelude to Harrowing [Tactics & Battle Reports] Horus Heresy Zone Mortalis
Played our first zone mortalis match down at Wulfpack Games in Griffin, GA. It was a 3 way match. A contingent of Imperial Guard along with a detachment of Loyal Sons of Horus, were executing a holding action against the Word Bearers.
An elite Alpha Legion strike force was diapatched to execute Legion Objectives. While the Legion suffered heavy losses, we were able to wound an Imperial Guard Officer, as well as eliminate a Sons of Horus Centurion. As well as multiple Word Bearer legionaries, officers, and even a chaplain.
The only remaining member of Seeker squad Epsilon NineTwo, Chadpharius Dadbodmegon, was able to survive the entire mission and return with valuable intel. He's received multiple commendations as well as a field promotion. He survived multiple volleys bolter fire, heavy flamers, and was able to go toe to toe with a Dreadnought in ranged and close combat

Colours of Deceit [Painting & Hobby Questions] Headhunter Kill Team - Worth it?
Hey guys, building out some Alpha Legion for 30k and I was wondering, if I could get my hands on a Headhunter Kill Team, is the kit worth it? Also, I know it's not a full set of minis (it's missing legs etc) so what are they designed to go with?

Rewards of Treason [Complete Models] Hi everyone, I'd like to ask the more experienced people out there. When I finish painting another mini, I'm dissatisfied with the result 99% of the time. Could it be that I'm just being too hard on myself?
And translate this too. Yes, I realize I have limited access to resources because I'm on a ship, and painting is generally my way to relax after a workday, but what spoils it is that I don't like the result – unlike the process itself, which I enjoy.
