Typewriter Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 First post here, been lurking a while and thought that I'd give something back for the inspiration I've gotten from these boards. This is my latest project: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0667.jpg Three of eight scratchbuilt Raptors. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0663.jpg All eight tacked together in their various poses. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0652.jpg The latest project finished before that, Chaos Lord in Terminator armour with a Daemon Weapon and combi-plasma. I've also got a shedload of pics for the making of the 1000 points of my army which are already finished, they're posted at The Serpent's Lair (those who frequent our little corner of the warp will have seen them already) but I might be persuaded to post some here. I have pics of both painted and unpainted earlier projects, but I suspect that the finished ones aren't supposed to be here in the WiP-section... C&C appreciated.

Guyver3x Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I always take a gander at your thread over on the lair, good to see you putting stuff here too, I'm sure you will garner much praise with your skills :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187568-typewriters-alpha-legion-project/#findComment-2219309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typewriter Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Guyver3x: Nice to hear mate! I thought it was time to see what would happen if I started a little project log here as well :lol: The Immortal: Thanks! The wings on the Lord are a set of mechanical wings from Micro Art Studio, the wings on the Raptors are from MaxMini. As a small bonus, I'll add a couple of pics of two finished projects (I have pics of them painted as well): http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0511.jpg My two scratchbuilt Obliterators. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0460.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0465.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0462.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0450.jpg My scratchbuilt Chaos Lord with wings and Daemon Weapon.

Typewriter Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I hear your silence and interpret it as "More pictures! And painted!" so I'll throw in a couple of those: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0649.jpg Army shot. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0603.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0600.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0602.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0601.jpg Painted oblits. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0638.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0640.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0642.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0643.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0644.jpg Painted lord.

Guyver3x Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 That Winged lord is by far one of the best conversions I have ever seen. Fits with the legion, correct preportions and a stunning paintjob Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187568-typewriters-alpha-legion-project/#findComment-2221946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typewriter Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Aw, man... you're making me blush :) After that serious praise I'll have to admit that I'm pretty proud of him as well, those roughly 15 hours I put into making him paid off. And now, a new pic! http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0669.jpg Finished the CC-weapon on the left one and the whole right one today. With these two guys finished I am halfway done with my Raptors, just four more to go.

Dudley Nightshade Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I can't help it--I'm a total sucker for a model wielding two guns, especially if it has wings too! You really nailed the pose for the middle guy in the first photo of the first post :) I have nothing even vaguely resembling criticism. These are awesome all around.

smallvictory Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Great looking army, I really like the Oblits. I think GW made silly looking models with great rules just to make people get creative and make their own. Well done all around.

Typewriter Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 ageis: Thanks mate! I rather like it too, I thought I should have at least one meltagunner who looks like he's aiming properly <_< smallvictory: Thanks! I don't like the official models either and especially not the price. The weapons on mine are rather large and solid pewter so the oblits are about as heavy as they look, which is kinda nice. Brother Yroc: Thanks! I thought that it was only fitting that one of the flashy Raptors would wield two pistols. There will be a couple with slightly more OTT poses (one of whom are wielding two CC-weapons), but I suspect that I won't be able to get any more done before the holidays are over...

Typewriter Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks guys! Well, since you ask: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0555.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0565.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0586.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0581.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0560.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0567.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0573.jpg A few pics of my Chosen. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0588.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0590.jpg And a Rhino (with not exactly good freehand...) http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0595.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0591.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0596.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0598.jpg And a few from a regular CSM squad.

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Love the Molted look you got on the armour, Did you stipple them to get the affect?Also nice use of Pyramid studs on the Rhino.

Typewriter Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks! Yep, I did indeed stipple them. I thought it would look kinda unique and I just couldn't get the GW scales right. The pyramid studs are leftovers from an old belt of mine, so I added a few of them them to the rhino to make it stand out more. I think it worked ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187568-typewriters-alpha-legion-project/#findComment-2224116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributis Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 So these are loyalist alphas then? :P Really like the stipled colour scheme, nice and original, and the conversions are awesome.

Typewriter Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Burias-Drak'shal: Thanks! Stormreaver: Thanks, I try to make them a little original. I really like the way you've done yours, too. Retributis: Yes. Or are they? You never know with the Alpha Legion :P Thanks, by the way. Most things I do are converted in some small way, I have even taken to making hidden easter eggs on some of them. The coming projects will be slightly more converted than the previous ones so there will be lots of fun stuff to look at in a while. That said, I do believe that I still have some pics ferreted away somewhere... ah yes, here are a few: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0616.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0611.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0615.jpg The dread, my first attempt at source lighting. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0604.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0606.jpg The other rhino, I thought that I'd go over the freehand on both when I've gotten a little better at it. They are also nowadays equipped with a bomb on the underside due to the fact that they always seem to explode when getting damaged... Accidental (or is it? ;)) self-destruct sequence initiation seems to be a likely fluff reason. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0631.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0634.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0626.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0628.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk194/Aggesbukkit/DSCN0630.jpg Melta squad, including a half-botched attempt at a Doghouse-Pattern Actual Scale marine. The next one will be better :P ...and I'm out of pics the finished ones, the rest are just WiP-pics. Deep into a building phase right now, will take a little while to get to painting again.

Typewriter Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Progress!

Typewriter Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks! More projects are coming up, but not before new year's. Next projects are a squad of regular CSM and a power weapon champ, might be persuaded to paint the finished projects after that (I've got a BFG fleet waiting for attention from the brush as well...).

Dreams of Contempt Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I love Alpha Legion, and I love these. Fantastic work. 3 thumbs up. The only thing I can see that does anything that bothers me is the completed bases on some fo the models, they just look...too busy. But nevertheless, they look excellent Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187568-typewriters-alpha-legion-project/#findComment-2228475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
