The Night of the Wolf

[Lord Blackwood]

I would vote the outrider squad , since it would give you  some scope for  the command squad later. 

[Halandaar]

Outriders and/or Outrider Command would be my vote as well :)

[betrayer41]

Justaerin and Outriders it is!

[recon0321]

Oh hell yea

[betrayer41]

How long does everyone typically soak their resin for?

[Slips]

I put mine in near-boiling soapy water and wait for the temperature to be still warm but enough to not actively cause me pain as I put my hands in the water.

[betrayer41]

So more like a one time deal rather than a long soak?

[Slips]

Pretty much.

 

If im lazy it turns into an overnight soak however.

 

The heat also gives me the chance to reposition some resin pieces as required or have those with a bit of warping sort themselves out.

I don't really soak my resin, I put in a ultrasonic cleaner with 1/2 hot water 1/2 vinegar.

Ok so pretty productive night..... I am getting everything built before I paint.

 

 

Tonight I built my 5 alpha justaerin termies minus the heads they will be painted separate.

 

Also finish the Achilles alpha

Wow awesome did you get the AL shoulder pads for them?

[Halandaar]

Justaerin + AL Shoulders = Very much winnage. The Rewards of Treason is just such an excellent rule, it's 90% of why I picked Alpha Legion as my 30k army, so I could paint fancy units in their colours!

[betrayer41]

So not a huge visual update. However I got three outriders built. I got all 10 new volkites built and here is my take on al justaerin termies. Pretty happy so far the belt buckle piece is just a place holder. I feel like this is a good color scheme compromise. Let me know what ya think! Thanks guys!!

That is awesome!! when I use this scheme I will give you credit....

[betrayer41]

Thanks! I pretty happy with it so far.

Do you think I should paint them like this orrrr paint them as alphas? I'm torn

All suggestions are welcome! Thanks guys!!

Looks good, maybe a wash of Guillemann blue over the highlights, might give it a very subtle nod to the Alphas?

 

 

[betrayer41]

I do like it but the more I look at it the more I want to see them in the alphas colors.....

[Quixus]

Beautiful Justalphaerins. They look so much better without the topknots.

[Slips]

Yeah, try some blue washes/glazes over the black and maybe try mixing silver with a glaze for a blue-silver and do some highlights with those?

 

Dont really know how those'll turn out though!

[betrayer41]

Ok here's my take. I don't want to make these black ones more alphay. I either want to keep these justaerin with and alpha twist.... Ie the red metallic alpha pads orrrrr completely change them to alphas....

 

Ok here's a pic of him after the wash has dried

Also the head is not glued in...

 

 

On another note... It's Choomthirty

Nice posing on the volkite sergeant.

[Robzilla]

Controversially, I think you should give them a go in the regular alpha scheme. Maybe a bit more black than usual, or bronze?

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic scheme, but there's nothing to tie it in with the legion.

 

Funnily enough I had a similar idea for an alpha colour scheme for the black and red, but ultimately decided to save it for some allied solar auxilia and Knights.

I am definitely having this delimma. I feel like there's two ways to look at stolen units.... Paint them in al colors or paint them normal. I went with the more normal choice because it's a nice break from the blue and I did the same thing with my stolen furies. Initially these wee going to be al blue. I may try a second termie in traditional colors and put it up to a vote because I'm torn

[Terminus]

I like the black and red leather straps, but maybe recolor the red armor plates into your usual blue?  It would tie them more thematically with both your Snakes and your Ravens.

[recon0321]

Is there anyway you could paint them normally and maybe paint a tiny hydra on the armor somewhere or some way to show them as AL units
