    Alpha Legion questions posed... (caution: SPOLIERS!)

    So Alpharius and Omegon are the twin Primarchs... Alpha and Omega... pretty cool.

    But then why does the Legion's symbol have a three headed hydra? Shouldn't it be only two heads for the twins?

    Before the Heresy series plays out could we see a third Primarch of the Alpha Legion? The third of a set of triplets?

    And what would they name him? What falls between the beginning and the end?

    I think its more a Hydra starts with 3 heads in every image you see. Cut 1 off and 3 more turn up and so on.

    Cant see another turning up, they all call themselves Alpharius hence why you kill him and theres a legion more with the same title. I quite like how he's of smaller stature than the rest of the primarchs yet still likely just as deadly!

    A very intriguing Legion, to be sure...

    Their motives for allying with Horus stand out among all the others.

    Still, I can't help thinking there are more big surprises ahead

    I guess you could say that the first head is Alpharius, the Primarch. The second would be the Legion itself, as it is independent and is well organized enough to fight on without one head. The third would be Omegon, the one everyone in the Legion knows about, but is a secret elsewhere.
