Well, considering that the Alpha Legion are Space Marines, as in warriors, no matter how soffisticated, and the Imperium has an incredible amount of Mechanicus Acolytes, the ones who are well-versed in these kind of things, I cannot imagine the Alpha Legion succeding where the AdMech failed. What the 21st showed was that you do not go mucking about in something that took the materiums most intelligent being several years to create. Not to mention the fact that the Alpha Legion took the Gene-Sample, but not the Data, meaning they would have to start all over again, difference between them and the Raven Guard being that they now do not have any aid from any outside force.

I also believe that I read somewhere, but I cannot remember my source so do not take it as accurate just yet, that the Grey Knights had kitbashed Gene-Seed from the 8 stable Legion Gene-Seeds (not counting the Space Wolves who's Gene-Seed is far too unstable). And, like I stated earlier, if it says clearly that they use the Emperors Gene-Seed in the Codex, I will not consider it canon for I do not consider any work by Mat Ward to be canon.
