The Alphas go unseen, unsung, and unnoticed by all the trillions they save but they do not mind. They know the dangers of the Great Enemy and knowing that they protect mankind from its grip is all the reward they need. They are the most important of all the Legions which is exactly why they are the least revered. They are Alpharius, and he takes the long view.

In other words, we have successfully birthed the Roboutian Heresy Alpha Legion: humble, quiet, paranoid, and terrifyingly effective.

And we are the best bros with them. It seems like the Alpha legion now has the demon killing muscle that it needed. Now let's sit back and enjoy the fire works.
 
For loot, you did get some things, I still need to exactly determine what category the loot should go in however.

Hmmm... given anything the hereteks would be using frequently would be corrupted, it'd probably need to be something they haven't touched. Maybe we find a cache of uncorrupted goodies that some of the resistance from before the planet fully fell managed to hide? Or a copy of an STC template that was stuck so far back in a storage closet and was behind some unimportant junk on the shelf it was on that it remained untouched by corrupted hands. Bonus points if it's for some DAoT war machine of some kind that would have made the daemon engines the hereteks were using more effective.

Is that two headed bird thing?

Well, you forgot the part where Malcador helped improve the Alpha Legion's practices. So they are even more terrifying. Also now Tzeentch has PTSD.

For the daemon onboard, I can say that it is not Kalros. It was the Changeling.

Pretty much, Alpha Legion has been going to town and wrecking all of chaos's plans. There heresy is looking like its going to be less and less dangerous as time passes.

You know, knowledge of that brings a question to the forefront of my mind that is both humerus and frightening in equal measure: what happens when Tzeentch runs out of plans?

Clearly this means we need to extend the Alpha Legions reach so that no matter where Tzeentch goes, he runs into alpha legion forces. Oh what's that Tzeentch? You want to screw with someone in the Eye of Terror? That's cool, but you've still activated my trap card! Roll for Alpha Legion intercept. Oh? You switched to trying to screw with Lorgar some more? That's cool, still, trap card time. Roll for Alpha Legion intercept. Ah, switching to Orks now huh? Fun times, Alpha Legion intercept baby!

Basically we need about a billion times more Alpha Legionaries so that they can be literally everywhere Tzeentch might try. It'd be great.

Though, side note. Can we spend a research and social action to work with another primarch to help with their gene-seed issues? Like, say Magnus or Alpha-Omega?

Yes, this is something I wanted to have done, mostly through another action group that is just whatever you want. Basically, just a write-in for an action. Also, you assume the Alpha Legion are not everywhere already. ;)
 
Is that Tzeentch PTSD only when facing the Alpha Legion?
It's a good thing we never leave the Vigilance without 'em :V

He dies. He is a God of plots and schemes. With no more plots and schemes in the materium, he ceases to exist. Or at least the feedback loop closes and his "knowledge/learning" aspect starts dominating

How effective would that be? Especially for Magnus?

Alpharius wouldn't be helpful since he isn't really good at understanding the theories behind gene-seed. For Magnus, he would be decent-ish. He is rather skilled at fixing mutations and preventing the deterioration of gene-seed, but in terms of increasing recruitment, it's worth a shot. I can't quite give an exact number as of yet.

I was more talking about helping Magnus with HIS gene-seed issues, to help increase his recruitment rate. Since, I'm assuming its still slow as hell?

It is, but that is mostly as a result of Magnus having to be very careful of future mutations. As such, only the higher level researches will help him. The lower level ones, while useful, wouldn't increase recruitment since he still has to be wary of the flesh change.
 
I could see the elite Thousand Sons and Eternal Wardens joining forces to found a Grey Knights-esque Order dedicated to eliminating Chaos.

That would honestly be terrifying considering the research Magnus is currently working on. When he finishes, he can spend a year and create a location where daemons suffer a -100 to rolls. Basically a reverse daemonworld. Of course, that is just in a single ship. For now.

Add in the fact that if we research some stuff decently we get Psy Architecture and our own anti-Daemon Runology like that for further bonuses.... :V

So... once he finishes, what would it require in trade for him to do that for the Vigilance?

Let me think of how terrifying this would be at maximum rank. It would be, off the top of my head, a -250 to daemons in the building.

For that, just make it even more ridiculous by spending time combining your runes with it and he'll give it for free.

And all this backed by the Alpha Legion's impeccable intelligence services. Unlike the Ordo Malleus, these guys will always know what or who is corrupted and they can cut it out like a scalpel cuts out cancer. The Ordo Malleus is more of a butcher's cleaver. I imagine a majority or even all of the Order will be Librarians.

Here is the average Greater Daemon when facing the Order or entering their planet

I'm now imagining the Wardens and Sons proceeding to kick the shit out of demons whenever they enter a demonworld.

Well. That sounds absolutely wonderful. Next up then, what will we need to do, in order to unlock the ability to create a proper lab facility that will actually improve our ability to research overall? I'm assuming something like that would require a bunch of the knowledge techs, possibly the material science techs, but any word on how far down the tree to get an initial proper lab? Specifically one that decreases the time it takes, as opposed to the DC.

You remember that bad luck in parts of the quest? Yeah, working on the Lorgar interlude and things when Konrad decides to make the chaos gods cry even more.

I'm going to be honest, daemonworlds are terrifying. Daemons get terrifying bonuses on them.

For a proper lab, it's variable. You could create one now, but that wouldn't be as good as one made later on.

What would a lab made now do? And would there by anything stopping us from upgrading it later on, besides just taking additional actions?
