Hello everyone and thanks for viewing my project! I've been a long time lurker here on Bolter and Chainsword, especially in Heresy forums and to be totally honest some of the projects are truly amazing and full of inspirational stuff! Further to this the community on here seems to be really active so for a while now I've wanted to share my Alpha Legion with you guys so without further ado. http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac173/Warlord-Nazgred/IMG_2432.jpg I've managed to make a start painting 15 marines in a metallic scheme using the FW clear colours and Iwata Neo (first project ever using an airbrush so it's been a bit of a learning curve). Overall I'm pleased with how they've come out but I notice they're a bit darker than some other people's which I quite like, the one thing I do think I need to work on is the consistency of the colour, I think I need to be applying more thin coats and I'm not sure how I'm going to tackle the non standard units (more on this later). The above model is the sergeant for my assault squad, I've given him AL torsos and helmet and he's got a converted power dagger. http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac173/Warlord-Nazgred/IMG_2433.jpg And the rest of his squad. http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac173/Warlord-Nazgred/IMG_2430.jpg And finally the first five tacticals that served as my test models. http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac173/Warlord-Nazgred/IMG_2030.jpg They're all just waiting for transfers and they'll be done. I'm currently away at uni so progress might be a bit slow at times (especially when I'm not the fastest painter to begin with) but I have a further five tacticals and five veterans with me to paint over the next few weeks. For the veterans they have full AL upgrade parts and Im planning on painting some of the detailing bronze to help them stand out a bit. Waiting for me at home I have a seeker squad (which might get black shoulder pads ala effrit stealth squad, got the idea from betrayers project on here great work by the way!) a recon squad and a betrayal at calth kit so plenty to be getting on with! The goal is to get 1000 points painted asap to play zone mortallis (which I might do battle reports for if people are interested), my gaming club is quite active in the heresy department so there is plenty opportunity for games and hopefully some of my fellow members will join this log in the future. Apologies for the shoddy photo quality but thanks for reading anyway and let me know what you think! Alpharius
