I think that there is an effort here to comply with canon, although it may not always be successful, especially in incorporating updates and retcons.

To concentrate on the issue you raised: keep in mind that Omegon stole the undifferentiated Primarch gene "goo". The secrets to extract and then unlock the Corax/Raven Guard compatible gene seed from the tremendously complicated pure Primarch goo had stumped everyone including Corax. It is clear from DL that Corax was only able to unlock his (and the RG's gene sequence) only because he had been psychically imprinted with specific, Corax/RG information from the Big E. He didn't even understand the info - he just remembered it. Therefore I would think that the Alpha Legion would be rather hard pressed to take advantage of the sample.

1. They have to "untaint" the sample (and who can tell whether it will be REALLY free of taint, no matter what the robots aka Mechanicum adepts say?) 2. They have to understand the pure "goo" enough to isolate and extract the Alpharius Primarch strand. 3. They have to understand the Alpharius strand enough to isolate and extract the Legion (Alpha Astartes) subset 4. They have to understand the Legion subset enough to recreate a WORKABLE gene-seed as the DNA combinations are in the untold billions.

etc. etc.

In short I think that although they might or might not have created something with the goo as it stood, I doubt it would be what they had in mind
