If you are correct, than this would mean the wiki needs to be rewritten in several places, such as the GK and Custodes articles.

These are valid observations you both make, please consider this. The Emperor has had children, decendants from normal women, if His blood is so fatal to any human, then how does that work.

The proces to create a Custodes is a magnitude more complicated than that of a space marine, i would imagine the Custodes themselves being similar to `prototypes` of the Primarchs themselves, genetic experimentation if you will, that resulted in the creation proces of an Adeptus Custodes.

The primarchs were corrupted because they were exposed to chaos before they were even `born` ,taken out of the gestation tanks. Do you think The Emperor intended to create a primarch with red skin, or wings or a dual personality? Such mutations are telling to the amount of exposure the primarchs got to chaos, which was not all that crucial to their corruption. Even if their bodies recieved mutations from chaos ,their mind was still uncorrupted Sanguinus is an example of this. Therefore it is much easier to corrupt the gene seed of a primarch itself than an actual primarch. On a side note it is mentioned that Horus cracked the gestation capsule of the II primarch, that could result in massive mutations when exposed to the warp.

From what we have seen in the Horus heresy, if a primarch remains loyal to The Emperor, his legion will often follow. If AlpariusOmegron, whichever is alive, used the pure sample on himself and managed to remain alive an uncorrupted he could be keeping the AL legion loyalties in check.

I was under the impresion that AlphariusOmegron shared a mind and a presence it the warp.

If a former space marine apothacery, Fabius Bile, is intelligent enought to manage to learn and manipulate so much of a primarchs DNA and gene seed, or even manage to figure out how to create one, then what about the apothecaries of an entire legion with the intelligence of a primarch added to that. If the AL wanted to manipulate the pure primarch geene sample and use it on themselves without dying, they can do it.
