Good rendition of the XXTH, I like it keeps to the classic pre age of darkness artwork whilst still keeping with the current hipster scheme ;)

 

The white and green detract from the armour creating a focal point which if engaged in combat would bring the preys attention to the helm allowing counter attack from the peripheral areas.

 

In other words you did good boy

Thanks for the kind words :)

 

 

The Alpha legionnaire is done! I'm seriously considering starting either a Raven Guard or Alpha Legion army. Both were fun and relatively quick to paint and I've always been a fan of the XIX and XX Legions.

Interesting idea to use the AL green as a marking/insignia vs the typical (or atypical, it's AL) green with blue/blue with green color scheme.
Any particular reason(s) for it, or just wanted to do something different?

(In case it wasn't clear, I like it)

I actually gave the armour a coat of Tamiya Clear Green, but it doesn't show up well in the photos and the matt varnish that I used to seal the weathering powders made it even harder to see. If I paint more Alphas I'll probably give them a second coat of the Clear Green.

 

Liking that metallic effect and the chipping is on point.

Thanks a lot bro :)

 

The white and green badges add some interesting contrast; looking good!

Thanks, dude! Yeah I wanted to break up the armour a bit and I also wanted to include some 'classic' Alpha Legion green somewhere.

 

I won't even bother to post another comment explaining my fanboyhood of another incarnation in Kizz's March of the Legions .

 

Oh wait.

Hahaha, thanks a lot bro!

Thanks, dude! I'm glad you like the combination of the old and the new. I'm actually curious to see if I can find a metallic purple spray to replicate the old pre Heresy Alpha Legion scheme.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

If you were going to start a new Legion force, you could go with one based off of Deliverance Lost; Raven Guard, but with bits and pieces of AL blue showing through the black. Then you can run it as either (or both) !

Fluff-wise, you could include the memories of the RG along with the Alpha Legionarre underneath.

 

Edit - also, the weathering looks spot on, ^^

I like the new Alpha Legionnaire... I really liked your original one as well. Either way, I say give them a shot... their rules are great and their rules allow an all-infantry list that's still quite nasty.

I'm still voting hard for Wolves, especially with the new upgrades due out for warhammer fest in may.

 

And, If you make a space wolf army, I might just have to visit Melbourne with my Sons and get a proper battle in. Food for thought.

 

That said, beautiful Alpha and Raven!

After the Iron Hand and Dark Angel, you have to produce an Lightning Bearer. You know you want too. ;) Maybe a Luna Wolf, Grey WB and a Blackshield?

 

Both the RG and AL are fantastic though. Definitely amongst the top 5 out of the schemes you've done.

 

SoH, RG, AL, Salm, TS and NL are the ones I think you've really nailed. (Not to say the others are bad, just these are the ones I've felt have really hit the spot. DG are very close behind!)

Inspired by the latest FW release I did some more work on the VI Legion Terminator

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4370_zps6men68qb.jpg

 

 

 

 

That Alpha is lush dude. Utterly lush. You've got a tutorial lined up right?

Thanks a lot, bro! Yeah, I'll definitely put a tutorial up. That actually reminds me that I haven't put a tut up for the Word Bearer yet...

Hahaha, that's a pretty good idea, but it sounds like it would be a lot of work and would also limit the choices I could take. Maybe I could do a Shattered Legions or Black Shield force of some kind...

 

The Alpha Legionaire looks great. The paint scheme would also work well for 40K Thousand Sons I think.

Thanks bro! Yeah, that could actually be pretty good (40k Thousand Sons) if you replace the Clear Green with some Guilliman Blue or Drakenhof Nightshade.

 

Please don't do alphas....

There's too many god damn Alpha Legion players out there.

Do ravens! Then you can use a primarch if you stay loyalist or do something crazy like hyaenidae's ideas on Traitor ravens

Hahaha, I haven't actually seen an Alpha Legion army in the wild yet, but there are definitely a few online. I'll have to check out Hyaenidae's Raven Guard idea.

 

I like the new Alpha Legionnaire... I really liked your original one as well. Either way, I say give them a shot... their rules are great and their rules allow an all-infantry list that's still quite nasty.

Thanks bro, glad you like them! Yeah, I love the flexibility of Mutable Tactics and the colour scheme is pretty fun to paint.

 

Do Wolves! But failing that i'd say go with Raven Guard, would be great to see you tackle a Primarch.

 Yeah, it's kind of strange that I haven't painted a Primarch yet...

Haha, I knew you would, and I even painted some more on the Space Wolf Terminator after I saw the FW release. I'm trying to come around to the VI Legion, but they're just not grabbing me. The new torsos are pretty nice though.

Yeah, I'm planing to do a Lightning Bearer, I've even started collecting some pieces for him. I'm not sure how many alternative schemes I'll be doing though, it could go on for ever... Glad you like the Alpha :)

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

The Wolf Guard Terminator is finished.

The Wolf looks great. Hopefully you did a step by step i'd be interested in how you did your skin and gold.

Unfortunately I haven't done a step by step for the Terminator. The skin is Cadian Fleshtone washed with Agrax Earthshade and then layered with Cadian Fleshtone and highlighted by adding white to the fleshtone. The gold is a mix of Gahenna's Gold and Retributor Armour washed with Agrax Earthshade and highlighted with Runefang Steel.

 

I've gotta have a recipe/ tutorial on that grey!

Mechanicus Standard Grey basecoat. Wash with Nuln Oil and a small amount of Agrax Earthshade. Sponge with Mechanicus Standard Grey. Edge highlight with Mechanicus Standard Grey. As with all of my minis the armour is 'black lined' to add definition.

 

Looking great man!

 

That gray is pretty great for typically so boring a color :biggrin.:

Haha, thanks Flint!

 

Although I'm not particularly fond of the space puppies I do like what you did with that cataphractii.

Thanks a lot bro! Usually I don't find them very interesting either, but I had fun with the Terminator.

 

The Alpha Legionnaire looks great, I like the classic green stripe. 

 

 

Thanks a lot dude! Glad you like the Alpha.
