hivey Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 basecoat is just regular flat black spray paint. then the styx brand color change spray, the green/purple/teal kind. it didnt work out right, so i used a lot of coats of watered down tamiya clear blue. this is how it looks now: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/10478209_1437824709817253_7495645742170432737_n.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/10488239_1437825029817221_2560356609581620885_n.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/1796436_1437824916483899_7726245998954607280_n.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/10404229_1437824776483913_5140646459288138147_n.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/10452360_1437825103150547_2807554865344201086_n.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/10440703_1437824853150572_2703546582719307967_n.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/hivetyrant765/10434170_1437824969817227_7387937497063329084_n.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289899-alpha-legion-colour-schemes/page/5/#findComment-3730472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRaven Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Looking good, which method are you using ? Planning a mechanised Alpha legion force and have been following this thread with interest. I have noticed that some of the pics people have put up have a shine to them, I have found Army Painter "Anti-shine" Matt varnish is pretty good, if that helps any of you.

hivey Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) im going to get that matt varnish soon, actually. the color changing sprays just dont work for me. it really only shows up in the sun, and it takes almost a whole can to get it to be really noticeable on even a single marine. im going to try to get a similar affect by doing a 1:1 mix of silver and green, maybe 2:1 mix, and put a few layers of tamiya clear blue. hoping it'll turn out similar to the pics i posted before. EDIT: i have a decent plan now. black spray prime. do up a silver/blue mix to make a metalic blue, and put that on. then do a few coats of watered down tamiya clear green, then a coat of watered down tamiya clear blue. it makes it mainly blue, with some green at certain angles.

LongGone Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 @Demon2027 love the paint scheme, as I'm not really sold on the metallic blue/green. But I REALLY dig the model's pose!

Daemon2027 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cool thanks guys. I do need to paint a bit neater. I was thinking either a green wash might be a good idea?

RedRaven Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Really like the Alpharius figure, did you do the sculpt yourself or is it a heavy conversion? Looks Awesome.

Slips Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I think its a Kabuki Miniature or something to that effect. I know I've seen something like it before...somewhere.

Kizzdougs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sorry to revive this but I wanted some feed back on my Alpha Legion colours. Looks good bro! The shading on the armour is really well done. All he needs is some silver trim for his shoulder guards and he'll really pop.

hivey Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I think its a Kabuki Miniature or something to that effect.
