Yep! Some teasers of the Alpharius model has made the rounds. I think it looks freaking amazingly sculpted. My only gripe is... he looks a bit big. Correct me if I'm wrong you true followers of the 20th Legion, but wasn't Alpharius/Omegon supposed to be the same size as a regular Astartes so as to better blend into the "rank and file"?

All the Primarchs have innate warp-based abilities*. I can easily see Alpharius/Omegon being able to alter their size or project an illusion that makes everyone think he's smaller/larger/different appearance etc. *I mean it's the only way you can explain the more BS feats of the Primarchs. Magnus was just the only one that primarily used his powers in a manner closer to a traditional psyker. |

Damn, but that's so good. *looks disapprovingly at Lorgar*
In the HH novel series they were significantly smaller than the other Primarchs - the size of large Astartes, but definitely passable as rank and file. The FW sourcebooks don't really sync up with the novels in regards to anything Alpha Legion though - everything you read about them is specifically presented as rumour and hearsay - they don't even fully acknowledge that Omegeon exists, it's just another "wild speculation about the Legion"

References I found indicate that they were taller than the rest of their legion. Based on the blown up image, this guy looks to be about Primaris size compared with his victim. Combined with an ability to pass unseen, this probably would make him about right without being the towering ultraschmuck that Girlieman is.

I can easily see this as an Alpha Legion Lord with the Teeth of the Hydra. Just such a cool model. The pose is even dramatically amazing.
As for the Primarch's "BS abilities" they're basically demigods Jonathan. Each one was a clone of the Emperor that was an amplified aspect of one part of the original "Ultra-mega-dude-man". In the books they're described by even Astartes as being hard to look at directly up close; that the sheer power they radiate is akin to staring at a small sun.

Each and every one of them were Warp powered (same as the old man) so the notion that A/O could have some sort of mystical camouflage that changes his appearance (and hides the Aura of Primarch awesomeness) is perfectly feasible. |
