Alpha Legion Army Project

Recommended Posts

thanks brothers

 

I wasn´t so sure I´ll build this army but since I had some good feedback on the Lord, I decided to go for it.

 

The 2 most important figure in each and every army I did had always been the Lord and the Army Banner.

 

I´ll finish this fellow then go with the rest of the retinue. One figure at a time

 

I´ll have to rename this topic I think.

 

IF you have some critics to make about it, I´d love to hear it too.

I concur with everyone else, great use of bitz and a nice clean paint job. :)

 

I don't know why, but these guys have an especially dark and sinister look to them, especially your icon bearer. I guess its because i don't see this line of Chaos very often at all.

 

Great stuff, keep up the good work.

Very lovely models indeed.

 

May I ask how you painted the armour?

 

-T-

 

'course you can! Sharing is my modo.

 

I was asked to prepare one for Brother Nihm I gave it to him sunday I'll keep you informed if you want.

 

Or If you prefer I can post it in the tutorial section. But I must warn you I use a crappy camera and I had few lights that day.

Plus my english isn't so good...

 

As you like

W :o w ! Those look great! I can't wait to see the banner guy complete. Where did you get the heads around the banner from?

 

Ardus.

 

the heads are from High Elves plastic spearmen's sprue.

 

I can add the parts listing for these 2 if you want.

Here´s the Parts list

 

Almost everything came from plastic figures.

 

The Lord:

 

Wh40k

Chaos Possessed marines : torso, legs ( you´ll have to modify them with cutting and Green stuff) and left arm.

Chaos Space marines: backpack, undivided icon, right arm, trophy spike, and holster.

Chaos tank (anykind) large demon heads

Chaos terminator lord: power axe arm ,chain tabard and base.

Imperial guard cadians: 1 guard torso (I used the front at the feet of the skeleton on the spike)

 

WhFB

Chaos warriors: bare head and skulls

Ogre Ironguts: hooks

Vampire counts zombies: severed heads

Vampire counts Black coach: skeleton on spike

Chaos Storm of chaos Marauder champion: Axe head *

 

*I only used this one because I could (had 3 of ‘em) you don´t need to, the original terminator lord axe´s head is fine.

 

 

NOTE: I was thinking at first of making him a Word Bearer Dark Apostle, some part changes to make but I´m sure he can look nice too .

 

The Icon Bearer:

 

Wh40k

Chaos Possessed marines : head, I cut off the horns ( but I´m still not sure that I´ll keep that one)and right arm

Chaos Space marines: champion backpack, undivided icon, legs, left arm, skull on spike, holster and ornament chain.

Chaos tank (any kind) driver ´s torso

Chaos terminator lord: small tabard and spines ornament

Space marine Command squad: pointing finger arm and Ultramarine shoulder pad (for the base, it can´t be seen clearly for now)

 

WhFB

Chaos marauders:hanging flesh ( add some GS scales on it)

High Elves spearmen 8 Dragon Head Icons

 

Small chain

G Kaar Hydra Icon Bearer ( ;) To Babylon 5 Wonderful Narn Ambassador)

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01093.jpg

 

 

I changed his head, 'like this one better I also added the Hydra Head on the icon ( Yes I did, you just can't see it clearly for now 'caus I'm an idiot that took the pic too early :) )

 

Next the first squad

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01100.jpg

 

I know I souldn't take pics of Black coated figures anymore, nobody can see anything clearly....

 

 

The second squad

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01102.jpg

 

missing 1 marine yet , gotta go shopping

 

The Terminator squad

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01106.jpg

 

The Havoc Squad

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01108.jpg

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01110.jpg

 

I thought this missile launcher would be more suited to this army ( and I might also be a showoff ....)

 

3 more missile marines being converted at the moment

 

And last but not least

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01097.jpg

 

No This is no mistake. These guys will be my chosen squad and I figured This was a good idea to make 'em wear colors of the Ultramarines, just to confuse the enemy and give a scapegoat . An Alpha Legion idea....

 

I also have some ideas about painting for them, you 'll find out in the next update

 

As usual ALL comments and critics are very welcome and apreciated.

As usual too, I can provide the parts list and everything

That is an old chaos missile launcher. Very old.. I think I have about 6 or 7 in my bitz box. I just really like the way you blend the greens into your blue.. that is great! I also like the fluff idea from the Heresy era on using fake Ultras. Pure Genius!

It is indeed a RT era Missile launcher from the chaos/genestealer cult sprue

 

Yes brother Sangarunya, I've been , and still am really busy with this project

 

Brother Nemissary to me the fluff is most important when I´m building up an army, and Since Ultramarines are my arch enemies, They were the best choice .

 

I know that on this precise point I could be reproached that Alpha Legion marines shouldn´t bear mutations since they´re not really in the eye of terror.... call it artistic lisence :D

 

Brother Corax: I´ll prepare the tutorial this week end

 

 

Many thanks to all of you for your comments

Just in order to get a better look at the job it'll be.

 

And I'm still exploring the Alha legion / ultramarine scheme

 

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/DSC01139.jpg

 

I try to make 'em just not regular Ultra, wouldn't be fun no?

Awesome paint job!

 

Personally I'd make your "Ultramarines" a little more twisted.

There still Alphas after all and there disguise only has to work from a distance.

 

And I have a question did they repaint there armor or did they steal it?
