Praetorian of Dorn - Dorn kills Alpharius || Voice Over 

A classic Dorn moment that's so often referred to in terms of which Primarch is the strongest but I don't see it mentioned quite as often in the list of brutally emotional moments. I feel it captures the Heresy incredibly well, the tragedy of the whole thing. I am uncertain about the voice for Alpharius but, on that front, I could do a different voice for him in each video and it would be just as accurate! Like, Comment and Subscribe if you enjoyed! The usual youtube things! and, my thanks for watching!

Alpharius: 'hey brother I have important information for you!' Dorn: 'TOO MANY YEARS TOO LATE FUCKASS'

Dorn's actual superpower: Immunity to monologuing

Alpharius : hey dorn lets talk Rogal Dorn : sorry i cant hear you over storms teeth

Alpharius: Dorn let's talk this out. Dorn: No.

The tragedy is that this might have been Alpharius legitimately telling the truth as the twin that wanted to kill Chaos, and he died here for it

I think this is one of the best fights the BL has written, not so much for the fight itself, but for how well it represents the combatants. Only Alpharius would have had the conceit to trap another primarch, much less Dorn, and try to talk to him. Only Dorn would have given his brother absolutely no deference and fought without hearing or even arguing against him. Unless I'm mistaken, we haven't heard from Alpharius for a while. He may well have figured out something real, something that might actually have been able to avert the inevitable. Nobody will ever know because Dorn was obviously having none of that. It was a great way for the writers to kick off the Solar War proper.

i swear id listen to an entire audible book of you reading, got a good story telling voice

Man that's actually pretty sad, alpha legion is all about espionage and he kept trying to tell Dorn something but he wouldn't listen, what if he was actually a loyalist spy the whole time?

When Sigismund is given the black sword, its like he's been given a fraction of Dorn's absolute certainty and fortitude. Where it makes no odds what their opposition is saying (or trying to say), there is only one thing Dorn or Sigismund wants to say, they say it with their blades edge and their enemies blood.

Ngl I always saw him as a fool who took the word of the Cabal and was too blind to know that Dorn was there to kill him Omegon> got my respect because that’s one tough situation to deal with and he still stayed somewhat Loyal to Big E

I'm still on the opinion that the fallen twin is Omegon, especially due to the nature how the fight with Dorn went verbally. During the Great Crusade Omegon was scrutinized by Dorn and Guilliman of his conquests as too easy or as too heavy casualty numbers, regarding which was the previous complaint. As far as I remember, we don't have scene where Aplharius and Omegon would had changed their identities back, meaning that Omegon would be Alpharius. Considering what he says to Dorn while the fight foes on, knowing that he's wearing Omegon's custom armor and his spear, I would say it's at leasst somewhat reasonable assumption to make. That would leave Omegon (the actual Alpharius) being left alone, falsifying his death (as she bright flash Primarch's death results, was never mentioned unlike at Pluto station) and scattering his Legion until it's his time to return. We know there is Alpha legionnaired under the Imperial Palace in Terra, whom only needs an activation code to be either loyal or traitor. Alpharius's reason of existence was to be the contingency plan were the Empire fall and was raised in total secrecy. Now that Lion and Guilliman are back and Harrowmaster is doing his thing as modern Alpha legionnaire, I just strongly feel that it is time for Alpharius to return, activate those Heresy- era legionnaires and start to wreak havok on Harrowmaster. We need that espionage style of approach to the setting more, especially now that Alpha legion has got much more lore around them that could be basis for the return of the Loyal Alpha Primarch. But that's just my crackpot Hydra Dominatus mind going full throttle, hoping and possibly coping for the proper return of my favorite Legion/faction or whatever you choose to call them.

Your voice for Alpharius is exquisite.

Oh no Dorn can't hear him he has airpods in!

Chef’s Kiss narration from one of my top two HH novels. 👌

Great writing, fantastic narration.

Wow, this is awesome. You have an incredible voice!

Absolute classic moment

I like the conversation Dorn has with Alpharius earlier in the book after a compliance. The Alpha Legion, acting independently, had essentially completely dismantled the planet's ruling class through espionage and assassinations creating widespread disorder throughout the hives and Dorn thinks it had cost them true compliance. It almost makes me think that the Alpharius' entire motivation throughout the Praetorian of Dorn is just petty revenge because Rogal once threw a better version of the Alpha Legion's strategy right into his face just ruin Alpharius' victory. "Impressive but you coulda done it better". Edit/Request: Please narrate Curze and The Lion parlay from Savage Weapons.

Good job. I’ve not been receiving alerts for your work, and I’ve noticed I’ve missed more than a few videos.

What an amazing video and amazing voice.

One of the better heresy books tbf. The opening where all the alpha legion cells are coming online, being dug up etc is amazing. Dips a bit when it mainly goes to follow the 2 imperial fists with the personality’s of a bowl of porridge

Alpharius thought that he was so smart & tricky... Dorn was very open about the fact that he could always tell who Alpharius was, Alpharius never believed him which is why he thought that trick would work to allow a conversation. Dorn wasn't interested in a conversation and just slaughtered Alpharius like it wasn't really that big of deal... let Alpharius play his tricks thinking it is winning, then catching the haft of the spear to cut off Alpharius hands before chopping him up further.

Don't believe in that lies, citizen.....because I'm Alpharius

Love that he was still talking. What did he say? What was his true message. I mean, do any of us think this was his final ruse?

I never understood why dorn didn't tell his brothers about this

Wouldn’t surprise me of Alpharius was the first leader of the order of assassins for the imperium.

*BUT BUTTTT VICTORY* ??????

That's not true. I am Alpharius

It was a decoy! That wasn't the REAL Alpharius!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

apparently alpharius is alive and omegon dies here instead. alpharius is alive in 40k!

Is there any early access on Patreon anymore?

I heard some people grumble that John French is like Matt Ward for the Imperial Fists yet somehow gets away with it.

I am Alpharius

Brother, i have something to tell you. _I am omegon._

Thumbs up

Im Am Alpharius and this is a Lie.

Are you the voice actor for Meyer Link?

I always wondered why Dorn wouldn’t listen to Alpharius but he was willing to respond to Fulgrim?

I wanna just state this: Dorn ALLEGEDLY kills Alpharius.*

That was Omegon, not Alpharius

Not gonna lie….pretty underwhelming
