I've yet to see the inside/Palm of that Particular Power Fist. Mind telling me what kind of detailing is in there? Is it like Hurons Claw/Fist with an Exposed Hand inside?

I will post pics tonight I think it's more of the cable type hints that you see on his fingers

This is without doubt my favourite power fist that either GW or FW have produced.

I can't wait to see those Alpha Legion kits come to life with a paint scheme!

Seconded. This guy comes in a close second though :wink:

I like the Alpha Kit head better.

recon0321 · August 19, 2015

1st one...what's that power fist from

Operative · August 19, 2015

I'd go with the 1st head.

apologist · August 19, 2015

I agree with the others – the first head offsets the Chaotic parts nicely, while the second blends in too much. Why not save that for something else? :)

betrayer41 · August 19, 2015

Thanks guys.... Looking at it again I think apologist nailed it. It's too busy and flows too well with chaos. The al head brings it. Back down to earth. I think I will use the second as a vigilator

betrayer41 · August 20, 2015

Hey guys, got my vets with their blue and the basics of the vet sarge.... I'm really liking these guy I love the upgrade let me know if you have any suggestions. Still have. A bit to do. Thanks for looking!

It was hard to see the detail on the helmet without paint...but now that it looks amazing great detail

The Pounder · August 20, 2015

Loving the colour of the armour, really well done.

ChazSexington · August 20, 2015

Heya! I'm Claudius over at the Serpent's Lair, and found your thread here! Signed up specifically for it some could say, really love the colour! Basically, I've decided to repaint my Alphas to a more pre-Heresy look. I figured your scheme would be great, so I found this.

@ak.... Those are probably the easiest of the schemes I use. Start with gray Vallejo primer. Next is a base coat of Vallejo air gungrey. Next Vallejo air steel just hiting highlights. Then two thin coats of tamiya clear blue... No green. After that I wash it with gulliman blue, darker in the shadows. Then wash appropriately with nul oil. Dry brush the whole think with Vallejo steel. The bronze is actually a brass from gw

I have a few questions;

1) I don't have an airbrush, do I need one? From the above it doesn't seem like it.

2) I'm presuming a black GW base coat is fine? I've previously seen Tamiya base coats recommended for Tamiya paints.

3) No Tamiya clear green?

Thanks for all the support guys, I think the vets may be my favorite so far. I love the legs on this guy. I think im going to replace the legs on my normal vets with these guys.

@chaz: thanks glad to help out anyone with more alphas!

1) all blues and greens are done with airbrush. I highly highly recommend it if you are going for metallic alphas. It'll change your life haha.

2) black gw primer is fine, all my original alphas wee done using that I just found I like grey and have more control over the airbrush primer

3) for my special units and characters no green. I use teen for troops and characters. If you look back in my thread you will definitely be able to see the clear green. Let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks for looking

Cheers! I guess I'm wondering if it's possible to do it without an airbrush, or is it mainly to standardise it?

betrayer41 · August 21, 2015

I think it's possible, I tried it but had little success and I finally broke down and bought and airbrush. With out one it takes a lot of think thin layers

ChazSexington · August 21, 2015

Cheers, I guess I'll have to get one then!;p

Any recommendations? Tutorials or otherwise?

This paint job scares the hell out of me I don't know how you do it!

Seriously these are the most stunning Alpha Legion I have seen!

betrayer41 · August 22, 2015

Thanks for all the comments really keeps me motivated and excited about my work! Bit of an update.... I was able to almost finish 3 more vets.... And 6 more bases... I ran out of the textured paint I use to finish my bases and once I pick that up I'll have my seekers and half my vets done hope you enjoy! C&C welcome!!
