Ok, I wasn't sure who wrote what, the editing log isn't overly specific - I'm just used to Lexicanum where the moderators are extremely strict about people citing their sources / not making things up. My office recently put in new security on our internet to stop us from wasting time while at work so I can't get into Lex no more, I find myself lucky to have found this one still unblocked haha.

But you see what I mean right? The line that says " The Alpha Legion had been assured by the Tech-adepts of the Dark Mechanicus that this daemonic taint could be removed once the Primarch gene-stock was in the hands of the Traitors, but this assertion proved to be incorrect and the pure Primarch genetic material's benefits were lost to all sides in the conflict as a result."

Having just finished that book myself (it was totally awesome btw) I was wondering if I'd skipped a page or something b/c they never answered whether or not they were able to remove the daemonic taint. If this is just logical conjecture than sure, it might be true, or perhaps the Alpha Legion did manage to purge the taint. I recall having read things in the past where the Alpha Legion had been declared completely annihilated by the Inquisition only to resurface again. Maybe it's just b/c of the Alpha Legion's nature that they appear to be terminated and then resurface, or perhaps they do in fact have the pure data and rebuild their Legion every time they get low in number. I just think it's best for whatever is GW canon to be the only thing in the main articles, and leave speculation for forums or other pages, for the sake of those new to the 40k universe.

Like I said I'm new to this wiki, and looking to help out, so for the moment I'm just trying to get an understanding of what's acceptable and where people can post their own theories, after all, in my opinion the best part about this universe is the number of unanswered questions that allow the players to use their imaginations.
