There are many misconceptions in Warhammer 40K, and nowhere is it worse than with the Alpha Legion. And the one thing that needs debunking the most is their Primarch's appearance in the Bequin novel Pariah by Dan Abnett.
Alpharius has been a mysterious figure in Warhammer 40K since the first time he was mentioned, and even though we've learned more about him over those decades, he still remains one of the biggest mysteries in the setting.
In this video I dive in deep into the scenes where Beta Bequin interacts with the Warblind Killgang chief known as Deathrow from the novel Pariah. And look at all the feats of strength he uses, as well as his combat effectiveness.
And yes, this is all in response to many comments I keep seeing on my videos that "Deathrow can't be Alpharius because a Primarch would never struggle against a regular marine." To which all I can say is, prove you didn't read it more. And I feel like this is a huge problem in the Warhammer 40K community. It obfuscates the truth for new fans when the information they come across is just parroted misinformation.
So, this is the second video in a series I'm doing on straightening out misconceptions in the community about the lore, following the Sanguinius Vs. Horus video I did recently. If you want to see me debunk more off-base misconceptions then let me know in the comments.
