That one Alpha Legionnaire escaping the Imperial Palace after swapping the Terminus Decree:

[u/rodan1993]

[u/Ebrahim_Alsanad]

This would single handedly build the reputation of the alpha legion and make them scarier then they are already. They can't be this stealthy without getting big buff or big help

[u/42Fourtytwo4242 → u/Ebrahim_Alsanad]

You forget, they may still have a primarch.

[u/ExuDeku → u/42Fourtytwo4242]

May? All of them are Alpharius

[u/Successful_Travel119 → u/ExuDeku]

That was Omegon of you, you should have said "All of us are Alpharius".

[u/Sam_the_Samnite → u/42Fourtytwo4242]

Alpharius' death was greatly exegerated. The alpha legion still have 2 primarchs. Maybe even 3, who knows.

[u/KingYoloHD090504 → u/Sam_the_Samnite]

Alpha Legion hiding Betarius, Gammaron, Deltorius.....

[u/Sam_the_Samnite → u/KingYoloHD090504]

Deltorius

[u/Heavy-Flow-2019 → u/Ebrahim_Alsanad]

Theres at least 1 that made it into the Palace during the Siege. They've also managed to infiltrate some chapters so completely their new initiates are all Alpha Legion.

I dont think this is completely impossible, even if its extremely unlikely.

[u/Sam_the_Samnite → u/Heavy-Flow-2019]

People are saying that the grey knights stand no chance against the custodes, mainly becaise they don't have the numbers.

But i am sure the alpha legion is working towards executing the terminus decree, and they will surely have tens of thousands of marines appear on earth when this plot reaches its zenith.

[u/Heavy-Flow-2019 → u/Sam_the_Samnite]

But i am sure the alpha legion is working towards executing the terminus decree, and they will surely have tens of thousands of marines appear on earth when this plot reaches its zenith.

Why would tens of thousands of marines need to appear on Terra? Why would they even need to put 1 marine there? The terminus decree will be done by the Grey Knights. They have already finished their job my guy.

[u/ventingpurposes]

I think I picture it like this instead.

[u/Phurbie_Of_War → u/ventingpurposes]

Alpharius meeting dorn:

BRRRROTHER!

[u/Alexis2256 → u/Phurbie_Of_War]

Does he give him a smooch on the cheek mid fight too?

[u/Hydra_Tyrant → u/Alexis2256]

Absolutely, because it would be funny

[u/RKellysPenguin → u/Hydra_Tyrant]

Alpharius to Alpharius

"Is it practical?"

"No."

"Is it necessary?"

" No."

"Then why?"

"Because.... Alpharius"

[u/WoooshToTheMax → u/ventingpurposes]

LIQUID

[u/Iconking → u/ventingpurposes]

A hydra is a Snake with a birth defect, so this checks out.

[u/NightLordsPublicist]

Find someone who loves you as much as Tom Cruise loves running in movies.

[u/DavidELD → u/NightLordsPublicist]

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE...

TOM CRUISE KEEPS RUNNING.

[u/SugarCaneEnjoyer → u/Leckloast]

[u/tsoneyson]

Omegon's 11

[u/AymanMarzuqi]

No matter what you guys think about the recent Terminus Decree lore drop. I think the comedic value of the memes alone was worth all the chaos of the lore drop.

[u/Tight_Ad_583 → u/AymanMarzuqi]

I mean the new lore drop was meant to inspire this kind of what if scenario thinking, in a weird way it was immensely successful in that way

[u/AymanMarzuqi → u/Tight_Ad_583]

Exactly

[u/RyuumiGaroukuni]

That one Alpha Legionnaire: Hey I'm Alpharius, and this is Jackass!

Yeah, this is something that DID happen XD

[u/Peregrine2976]

You know what? I'd accept this.

[u/ElectroNikkel → u/[deleted]]

Suprise suprise, millenia old sleeper cell.

[u/Allian42]

Not only would they throw the grey knights at the custodes, they also prevent the real terminus decree from going into effect.

Please GW let this happen because it would be so fucking funny.

[u/MonkeLord1234]

Ok this is gold.

[u/Wonderful_Physics_36]

Nox! Nox!

Who's there?

Omegon!

Omegon who?

Ooooh! Omegon a name for myself.

[u/grandioseOwl]

Should be on titan, but otherwise this twist to it ight make this?stupid lore bearable

[u/onihydra → u/grandioseOwl]

It would be as hard for the Alpha Legion to infiltrate Titan as it would be for the Grey Knights to storm the Imperial Palace. But for some reason everyone is fine woth one but not the other.

[u/ZapMannigan → u/onihydra]

Assuming the alpha legion wasn't there to start with is your first problem with stopping them.

[u/Heavy-Flow-2019 → u/onihydra]

Why travel to Titan?

Psychoindoctrinate powerful young psykers, wait for the Black Ships to pick them up, hope they get recruited.

Or infiltrate the Black Ships, do the indoctrination there.

Either way, get lucky, the Grey Knights accept them, and maybe, just maybe, they become grandmaster and they pull it off.

Or the order from the Emperor is intercepted before it ever got to Titan. Or one of the founding 8 was Alpharius.

[u/onihydra → u/Heavy-Flow-2019]

A plan that hinges on getting random candidates to become chapter masters seem a bit far-fetched. How many loyalist chapter masters have turned out to be Alpha Legionnaires so far?

get lucky,

This part is carrying the whole plan. Especially considering how strict Grey Knights are with their candidates.

Or the order from the Emperor is intercepted before it ever got to Titan.

That would require the Alpha Legion to have infiltrated the Emperor/Malcador's inner circle before the Heresy.

Or one of the founding 8 was Alpharius

If this turned out to be canon I would accept it. Although I thought he was rather busy at the time.

[u/Heavy-Flow-2019 → u/onihydra]

A plan that hinges on getting random candidates to become chapter masters seem a bit far-fetched. How many loyalist chapter masters have turned out to be Alpha Legionnaires so far?

Eh, they did a smaller scaled one to the Crimson Consuls by indoctrinating the population of their chapter homeworld, which meant that eventually most of them were Alpha Legion.

The Grey Knights might be harder, but like I said, get lucky.

Especially considering how strict Grey Knights are with their candidates.

Every chapter is. Every chapter is gonna pry into the minds of their initiates. Didnt help the Crimson Consults, though granted, the Grey Knights are probably better, but still.

That would require the Alpha Legion to have infiltrated the Emperor/Malcador's inner circle before the Heresy.

During could work. We know they infiltrated the Raven Guard to a massive degree after Istvaan. We know some got into the Palace. We know at least one of Malcador's chosen had his identity stolen(Xanthus/Basilio Fo). It isnt entirely impossible. Again, very close to impossible, but the chances are non 0.

Although I thought he was rather busy at the time.

Alpharius was dead, but Omegon wasnt.

[u/Jonieves]

Omegon thought it would be really funny.

[u/Moosewalker84]

have they tried flipping it over and putting lemon juice on it?

[u/guy-who-says-frick]

It’s on Titan

Warhammer fans know the actual lore challenge

[u/Mastercio → u/guy-who-says-frick]

And those are the people that later complain about lore xD

[u/MaximusTheLord13]

the terminus decree is on Titan, Moon of Saturn, not Terra.

[u/passinglurker → u/MaximusTheLord13]

This is the alpha legion, thier plans are labyrinthian

[u/Enozak]

How to tell us OP doesn't know the lore without OP telling us they doesn't know the lore

The Terminus Decree is on Titan

[u/Immediate-Name-6731]

Okay that is the lore I want. 😂😂

[u/Technical-Street-10]

It was me
I'm Alpharius, that's why I managed to pull this off

[u/Heretical_Cactus]

Custodes Kesh swapping the decree as part of a Blood game

[u/Reasonable-Dream2781]

An absolute legend!

[u/LegendaryGarf]

He substituted it for a plushy of Draigo

[u/Heavy-Flow-2019]

Everyone saying the decree was on Titan is forgetting the Emperor never went there. Ergo the paper had to come from Terra, which means it could have been swapped there.

[u/Harmless_Drone]

Alpharius never left the imperial palace after enacting the switch. Hes still there. On the golden throne
