Asrech Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Absolutely beautiful army brother, that's about all there really is to say :rolleyes: Congratulations on the award, I don't know how the other armies looked, but I think it's a fair bet to say that it was well deserved!

Tutteman Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Woah, nice ultra alphas, really good way to be able to break up the army. Fab army overall!

Talhydras Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The infiltrating pseudo-UMs are terriffic! Nice way to add spots of color to the army the AL Marines are also very good, I really envy your painting skills...

Brother Captain Cassius Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Those models are utterly sick.

Argon Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 You do the Hydra much honor. I really love those Ultras. The Imperials will never know what hit them ;)!

Stuart Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Gotta echo the Ultramarine love, brilliant concept. The Sorcerer is really beautiful too, and the paintwork overall is great. Also, those old school Missile Launchers fit Alpha Legion very well, excellent choice on them. The one element I'm not a huge fan of is the Lord. I thought your previous mutated Lord was awesome, but this one's proportions look askew to me. It might just be the angle of the picture, but to me it looks as though his thighs are a lot longer than his lower legs, and that his knees face inwards a bit. Could you take some more shots of him possibly? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192457-alpha-legion-strike-team/#findComment-2285369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even thought about painting the whole army like that for some time. But Maybe I'll just add another squad. Anyway Thanks everybody for the kind words! I am truly touched. Coming Next ? I do wanna go on with this army, Right now i'm working on a raptor squad , A Forge World Dreadnought is also considered (gotta get money first) I also wanna be able to play this army with the loyalist codex so i'm "completing " each squad to 10 marnes with heavy weapons, except for the Fake Smurfs which will be used as sternguard veteran squad (so no heavy weapons but stormbolters and combi weapons) more info can and will be found here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=129597 El JuJu Kaleb Daark Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192457-alpha-legion-strike-team/#findComment-2285745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepsis the Unclean Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Fantastic idea of under-cover chosen, very sneaky...the best Hydra marine in my eyes is definetly the one kneeling down with the powerfist. Excellent. Though it has to be said I do prefer your old Chaos Lord, while the new one is a great model, I personally would use this army with the old one. And get saving as I for one am looking forward too seeing a FW Alpha dread all painted up.

The Crimson Cartel Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The Alphas are my favorite chaos legion, and you you do them much justice!

FuriousFerret Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 absolutely stunning work, and the infiltrators posing as Ultramarines is one of the best and most well-executed ideas I've seen in this hobby!

Chaplain Desmodus Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I love the mix of dark yet luminous greens and the turquoise (sp?) details. Very nice and characterful paintjobs. Best chaos marines I've seen in a long while. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192457-alpha-legion-strike-team/#findComment-2286110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisko11 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Really good job here, I especially like the design modification to the UM symbol, so subtle you almost don't notice but a really great touch. Good stuff! I have a feeling the pics arent doing justice though, should try and take some shots on a cloudy day, or get your hands on a lightbox if you can - Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192457-alpha-legion-strike-team/#findComment-2286191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
