effrit stealth squad probably.


Martino2004

This is exactly what it depicts.


-Skelitor-

Because shiny blue/green isn't always the best color for blending in or going unnoticed.


Ekfud

Not really knowing what colour the AL armour actually is…. is very much on their theme.


TechnicalReserve1967

Yup, they are known to paint their armor on what ever they want/need. Amongst them, other legions/chapters heraldry.


Warlundrie

The stealth division is described in the earlier books to have dark/black armor so I'd assume they're part of the stealth division


LeMattN

Color is a lie. Hydra dominatus.


DrDoSoLittle

An Alpha Legionary's armor is never non-canon, nor is it wrong. It is precisely the color he means it to be.


iamalphariusalso

Sometimes alpha legion armor is described as purple too, you can’t be the sneakiest and easily identifiable


Lsiegris

It's Omegon's Effrit Stealth Squad. Basically an Alpha Legion Spec. Ops squad in a legion that already specializes in Spec. Ops.


Overbaron

That’s not black, that’s green


Different_Recording1

Simple : Book III : The colour of Deception (quoting from memory, words may be not the exact ones) Accross various battlefields and times, the Alpha has been seen wearing coat of teal, green, amaranth (a red), black, dull bronze or silver, both in main and in combination. End of story. Yes, those "may" be Effrit represented. But they could also be just regular Alpha legion.


TheAromancer

Better stealth, probably a headhunter team


UnlikelyBroccoli9127

They belong to effrit squad, best of the best in AL directly under Omegon


redbadger91

This is artwork made for Omegonedge. His interpretation of the Effrit Stealth Squad has shaped public perception of that unit/part of the AL forces quite a lot and this is just part of it. Also: \*their


AnotherJoltReskin

In legion the effrit stealth squad are described as wearing armor that was so deep blue it looks almost like pure black


Conductor_Maxim

Quintuple Agent. In other words, they are spying on both the imperium and the forces of chaos for each other to the ends that only Alpharius, possibly one, all, or none of those agents, knows.


cheese4352

Because they commissioned the artist to give them black armor instead of blue armor.


artin-younki

Ummmm are we all looking at the same picture? There isn't any back. It's just very dark green...


PoxedGamer

Lighting.


DemonicClown

That's green


DemonicClown

It's green


Fanimusmaximus

Alpha Legion usually can come in all manner of Cool colors, because their cool 😎.


Futuretense1

looks like a green shade to me
