Passing question, but how the hell do you even get you hands on an imperial armour? I was just browsing through forgeworld because Im a Krieger at heart, and like looking at the models. But I see the army and no book. Then I look on ebay and the books are $300+. Can someone explain it to me?

Well, the usual places have it to pirate. 🤷‍♂️ Not sure if we're supposed to link to them publicly here though.

Well obviously if I ever wanted to do a krieg army I'd do that. I was just curious on why they are so seemingly hard to come buy.

The books were stupidly expensive when they were new, hence why people are demanding $300 on eBay, and many of the volumes were already out of date when 8th edition dropped three years ago (as in, some of them were written for 4th or 5th edition and never updated). The updated Armour books that were released for 8th got moved to Last Chance to Buy on the FW site back in February, probably in preparation for 9th coming out.

was cadias destruction actually a meta reference to GWs attitude towards the guard, let alone any non SM factions?

At the same time you could argue that is a homage to the guardsmen too. The planet of Cadia died like its guardsmen do all time, it held the line as long as it could and went out in a blaze of glory so the Space Marines could get credit for saving the day like always. Much like a fallen guardsman's place being taken by another guardsman Cadia was succeeded by New Cadia showing that it doesn't matter how much you fuck over the guard they'll keep coming back to the meat grinder for seconds.

I mean lets think logically, could a gully gully or dorn actually beat someone this bad ass?

well Alpharius/Omegon were the size of a normal legionnaire, thus i think if any other primarch got their hands on them, even guilliman they would be fucked.

My understanding is that they will be incorporating rules for Forge World models in the GW codices, so its no longer necessary for FW to publish the Imperial Armor books.

It's about damn time. I'd be willing to bet the IA 8th edition books sold so poorly that they realized it would just be better to integrate them with the codices.

The real question is, will they make a AM 9th Ed codex then a krieg codex to squeeze $70 out of you, or will they do the smart thing and just add a few pages to the new AM codex. Let's be real, the Katachans and the Kriegers are the only worthwhile guardsmen! Cadia deserved it.

Let's put this into perspective: While Alpharius and Omegon were the smallest of the primarchs, the Alpha Legionnaires are bigger than the average Space Marines.

Not quite. Alpharius and Omegon were described as being only slightly larger than the average Astartes, but even then not all the Alphas were big enough to pass for them. There were enough who could, though, that Omegon was able to masquerade as a normal legionary most of the time.

You all sound like youre fairly confident, are you sure thats the truth? Or just simply what they want you to believe? You fuckin R-Tards, youre playing tick-tac-toe, while alpharius omegon is playing paradox-billiards-vostroyan-roulette-fourth dimensional-hypercube-chess-strip poker. Youre all thinking about this on a surface level.

No. Here's the biggest Warhammer 40k secret: That's not The Emperor on The Golden Throne. It's Alpharius.

But there are some questions I'd like to see answered at some point.
But how deep IS the Alpha Legion infiltration? We know they've had operatives in all the loyalist AND traitor legions since the Heresy (on a side note, I feel sorry for the poor bastards to got assigned to infiltrate the Death Guard, Thousand Sons, and the Emperor's Children), but the question is "does it stop there?" Imagine AL operatives in the Inquisition or in the Custodes. Do I even dare suggest there are AL operatives within the Sisters of Battle? What if an Alpha Legionnaire took the ultimate plunge to become a Daemon Prince for the sole purpose of subterfuge and sabotage on the Ruinous Powers?

I honestly believe if there was a CSM Legion that was capable of getting their hands on the data to make a Primaris CSM, it would be the Alpha Legion. The question is, would would they share it with (if they would share it)?

Or is it omegon?
 
Imagine what the fluff section of an Alpha legion dedicated codex would look like. Perhaps the penultimate schitzo post.
