I know it's not scheduled or mentioned yet, but I've been turning something over in my head and I was wondering what everyone else thinks.

 

Alpharius and Omegon, one novel for both. Or one each?

arent they seen as two halves of 1 whole? a novel for each seems like overkill.

 

howabout a novel of competing factions of the AL scheming against each other, both thinking they are following either Alpharius or Omegron, only for it to be the other or Reed at the end.

Two novels for each will most likely not happen. :/

 

Maybe a noel with two halfs, each covering the pov of one of them about the same events, etc. in order to present us their differences and (possibly) different ideologies / fealties?

Who is Reed?

Captain of the AL Lernaen Terminator squads, though I forgot he's dead.

 

I think he was one of the AL of big enough stature to passable pass as one of the Primarchs.

Are you sure you don't mean Sheed Ranko?

Oh I forgot they announced it as 18 part series, you know what though I'd pay extra if they done something like the betrayal at calth books, and done an interlinked story from each perspective across two books in a larger swankier box...

 

I'm a sucker for these shiny LE's

Unlikely as it is, I would love for their to be some unique little quirk about the Alpharius Omegon book. Like, it has the novel printed twice, but the second one has changes here and there, just a few small things that completely alter the overall story, with no indication as to which one is true. Or a single book but there are several slightly different versions of it, but nothing on the book to indicate any difference.

Oh please no. While I love the ambiguity of the Alpha Legion in fiction (especially in FWs Blackbooks), I think it'd be a horrible mistake to turn the narrator into a meta-alpharius. Novels should stick to telling us a story with small threads and details that we can speculate on and not be a speculative mess in and on themselves, in my opinion.

While I've always loved the Idea of the Alpha Legion in practice I've often found them very hard to care about, specifically because it's so hard to care for someone who you don't really understand. The Alpha Legion are so mysterious and deceitful you never really know what they're after, what they care about, and while that is fitting with their theme it makes them impossible to relate to because you're always wondering 'okay, what are you Really up to? What do you Really care about?'. Thus, the impossibility of their novels: to reveal the truth of the Alpha Legion would be to do away with what makes them great, but to keep the secret puts them eternally at a distance from the reader. If you can live with that, or even better appreciate that, then great. If not, then dang.

I think the Alpharius/Omegon book would be the perfect time to have a "normal" story about them. Every time we encounter the XX Legion it's from a 3rd person perspective...even in their own novel (Legion). I would love to see things from a straightforward, no bull- :cuss AL perspective. How THEY see the Crusade/universe. Spoiler: I bet they have the best intelligence and know more about what is happening throughout the Imperium more accurately better than anyone else other than maybe Malcador himself.

It's BL. Alpharius as Marry Sue and Omegon as Wizard of Oz for the rescue. Not separate novellas. Period.

 

Again some long lost colony and twin Primarch planning plans.

It's more a Ranalds roll of the dice for whom would be writing it: Sanders, French or Wraight. Anyone else I do not believe would be able to write it good.

Write it good? I think this Novel could be well written by anyone. I'd like them to show what it was like when A&O met Horus and or the Emperor. Like did only Alpharius meet the Big E?

I wish Abnett could do this

This please... failing that John French or Rob Sanders. While the chances of a sequel to Legion are now pretty much non-existent it would be nice for this to bridge that 60 or so year gap between then and the Herey proper, interwoven with flashbacks to childhood, the coming of The Emperor and their personal feelings / misgivings of the path the Cabal have shown to them.

I wholeheartedly agree with this one. I've just finished Deliverance lost and i must say that i greatly enjoyed the parts written from Alpha Legions perspective

FW HH books hinted (just hinted) that Alpharius met with Emperor in all it's entirety.

But we will never see that - I'm sure of it. It's would be one interesting spoiler - and a moment where Big E will show all readers his hypocrisy

I'd enjoy either an origin story, of when were first found and how they evolved th XX legion, and what the XX legion were before the primarchs arrived OR what happened after they met the cabal, show us the conversations and debates that had to have happened, the plans and operations to prepare themselves for what they are doing, it would certainly clear everything up a little bit, make them more relatable... but then you lose some of the mystery I suppose
