nurglespuss Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi Guys, well I've been possessed with the idea of painting up one of each of the pre Heresy founding legions (yes, I'm not running out of models to paint ;p ) in my spare time.... I've already posted my Night Lord, and continuing the theme of the naughty lads, here is one of the Alpha Legion (bases will be classic sand/goblin green ;p ). Any feed back appreciated! It was an awkward colour to get right (the purple-blue) but I'm OK with it. (Also, I'm trying to stick to second edition - or second edition themed models, rather than worrying about armour marks etc). http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/savedpicture-2013823215555.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/savedpicture-201382321561.jpg?w=604 (based on this pic) http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120928034858/warhammer40k/images/d/d9/PreHeresyAlphaLegion.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278859-alpha-legionnaire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Blue is spot on, great colour match. I love it when these 2nd ed minis pop up (especially with the classic gobbo green base), makes me feel young again! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278859-alpha-legionnaire/#findComment-3433696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorrance Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 That is spot on with the picture! How did you make that shade of purple? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278859-alpha-legionnaire/#findComment-3438802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Insane cool, man. You have my respect for making such a beautiful purple, and doubly so for deciding on a classic model. Carry on, good sir. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278859-alpha-legionnaire/#findComment-3438904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Forge Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Simple yet "popping" colour scheme, fits the picture perfectly - great Legionnaire! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278859-alpha-legionnaire/#findComment-3439844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
