Well, I wanted to start a thread discussing the possibility of both Ultramarines and Alpha Legionnaires in the Anargo sector during the Great Crusade, but the Alpha Legion thread was already crammed with lots of other discussion, and since we don't really have a seperate thread for the Great Crusade, I thought; "what the hell" and started a seperate thread ;D
It's been a while since I originally suggested this, but I'd really like to see a non-violent confrontation between Alpharius and Roboute in the Anargo Sector, to build on the magnificent Epic of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. 40k fans have long been fascinated with this story, and are still discussing if Magnus was really bad or if the Emperor betrayed him, who was better of Rogal Dorn and... what's-his-face (the IW Primarch) So I think it'd be really cool to show more of the Primarchs and Space Marine legions during the Great Crusade, and a confrontation between the Alpha Legion and Ultramarines, as well as the rivalry between Alpha Legion and Imperial Armies.
That is, if you consider it doable. Do you?

The Emperor AND Alpharius AND Roboute all turning up in the one sector? Getting a bit crowded, wouldn't you say?

It's pushing it, but if I thought it was too crowdy, I wouldn't have brought it up now, would I?

What about just the Alpha Legion there, and then later Reboute Guilliman shows up there with the Emperor.
Reboute would be mocking Alpharius' tactics, telling the Emperor things would have been more efficient if the Alpha Legion used the Codex methode. Alpharius enraged by this...a small non armed conflict between the two Primarchs.
And since Alpharius wasnt a very "open to the outside world" Primarch, Guilliman could have easily spread some propaganda like "The Codex method is the best...Alpharius fought an inefficient war bla bla bla"

The problem with that, is that I don't see Roboute taking a break in the war to travel hundreds of lightyears, just so he can point and laugh at Alpharius.
And of course, Roboute hadn't finished his Codex at this time, but if he was here, he could have suggested the Ultramarines' own combat doctrines, instead of what Alpharius was doing.

Well he might have been testing the Codex, so he wanted to test these methods with Alpharius's Alpha Legion...
They might have travelled together to that area, and then Reboute would have liberated some parts of the Anargo Sector while Alpharius liberated the other subsectors
