Pavement Artist Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ahoy all, I've already thrown these up on the Serpent's lair but i thought id share with you too. It was my christmas treat to myself, the beginnings of my heresy era Alpha Legion. I've purchased the mark V kits from Forge world and started building them as chosen. With rigorous application of plastic bitz, ive also managed to kitbash some other models too. Here is the icon bearer, knocked together to look like he's operating a long range comm's device. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/Alpha8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/Alpha7.jpg We have Aspiring champ one: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/Alpha4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/Alpha5.jpg His follicaly challenged brother: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/Alpha1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/Alpha3.jpg And the spods: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/alpha2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245589-the-looking-glass-war/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavement Artist Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Looks good. What is the bolter from? Also excited for the paint job. Forge world umbra ferrox bolters sir. Lovely things. Thanks for the kind words, im aiming for a blue/purple oil on water effect.

RolandTHTG Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 AH, thanks. I had been eyeing the Phobos patter, but hadn't realized that the umbra ferrox were the sternguard/deathwatch style, and looked so good. Choices, choices.

Jeffy.Gee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You're cleaning up mold lines and sprue plugs post assembly I assume? JG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245589-the-looking-glass-war/#findComment-2972246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Ninja'd by Jeffy.gee. Your models would look awesome, but for the love of all that's unholy, remove the mold-lines/leftover plastic, and try to use a little less glue in the future. As it stands, it looks like you're flooding the model, and thus losing detail. If those problems are fixed, you've got yourself an utterly awesome looking squad, not to mention a very inventive way of including Icons in a secular army.

Pavement Artist Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Cheers folks, the models have been cleared up, those pics were taken post kitbash. Wanted to be sure they looked the part before i got down to the annoying job of tidying them up. The glue issue on the icon bearer is irritating, it shows up a lot more in the pic but i admit i was overzealous with it. The glue i was using was on it's last legs and didnt seem like it was taking. Couldve waited a day and got a new pot but...impatience Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245589-the-looking-glass-war/#findComment-2972581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I admit, it's a problem I've suffered from as well... I really like how the force is starting off though. I can't wait to see more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245589-the-looking-glass-war/#findComment-2973078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here's a rough idea of how id like the colour scheme to turn out. Sadly the camera made it come out a little messier than it seems to the eye, but overall i'm happy and the forge world chaps will receive a bit more care when it comes to their turn http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/phestiliuet/502667904.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245589-the-looking-glass-war/#findComment-2976373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Strange how it looks bluer here than in the Serpent's Lair...must be because everything around it is blue/green in there...
