Brother Captain Lucian Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 How to avoid changing legions all the time: Buy and paint a few hundred points of one legion. Now whenever I feel the urge to change, I just look at my IW and think..."its too expensive to start all over again!" and then proceed to order some more IW Really, you wont stop thinking about the other legions till you start painting one of them.

chaplain mortis Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ohhhhhhh sweet gal vorbak! Nice work on them DC! Great to see a painted one of them.. Â Keep it up mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand_master85 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well, I'm wondering about the Alphas Rite of War. If I use another Legions unit, do I paint them in their original colours, or do I paint them in Alpha colours over the Legion minis  Tbh, I already have a nice Legion army :) this is a bonus and a project for me. I just still don't want it to be a total chore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'd paint them in AL colours but it's personal preference mate :) and yeah don't make your self do anything you don't want to if it's just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brofist Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I love painting yellow. Even with a brush, its not so bad as long as you use thin layers and understand a little about how colors work. Â If you're spending 100+ dollars on FW minis, consider an airbrush instead. For the same money you'll save a ton of time with fantastic results.

Slips Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I mean if your going AL to take other Legion units, I'd paint them up as such for the "infiltration" bonus/fluff. (in the OG legion scheme they come from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grand_master85 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Stuff it. I was tempted by Death Guard briefly but the Alphas have it. I've already got a couple of small units half painted in that scheme. I'll chop the Fists emblems off the regular guys. Do I do the same on the unit that will be 'Templars'? So keep all their iconography and Templar swords but just totally paint them in AL colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'd say keep the iconography since they would've had to blend in with other IF templars and them being lacking in iconography would've probably been conspicuous. I'd paint them as Templar/IF but keep one shoulder/helm/kneepad or somesuch as Alpha Legion colours so you don't mix them up etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That's a good idea actually, could paint them their original colours with like one arm blue or something. Although I dunno how well blue goes with yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 contrasting color :P so if anything it'd pop out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand_master85 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Painting yellow still? I think I might just do them as 'Black' Templars with yellow pads lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 cheers guys I love painting yellow. Even with a brush, its not so bad as long as you use thin layers and understand a little about how colors work.If you're spending 100+ dollars on FW minis, consider an airbrush instead. For the same money you'll save a ton of time with fantastic results. true statement there sir ,they are great for getting smooth base colours down ,also if you have a buddy you could probably go halfs with a bit of friendly persuasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand_master85 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I just prefer working with a brush and more blues and greens. So really Alphas are ideal! Plus I have a thing for spies and assassins so works for me. And it's a scheme I'm happy with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Those Gal Vorbak. Gorgeous. Â I think i started the legion changing trend, but i think this little community is for this. Helping us find out place and getting us painting. Â Me, I am happy with my Iron Hands. Got a lovly package today, some great painted models, and some ready to be painted. So I have 10 breachers to paint, plus 5 tac marines which i have built, and a Terminator Iron Farther who I may convert to a Forge Lord. Or a siege Breaker.

grand_master85 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yeah true, it's good to not have my mates rolling their eyes at me. The problem is, it's alright sticking with an army just cos to said you would, but you have to enjoy painting it at the same time. Â I've had enough experience wasting and ruining minis cos I had bought an entire army and then changed my mind. I'm happy with the Alphas cos I know I can paint them and not cry at the same time :D Â I've got a Praetor, Librarian, asniper squad and a Typhon Siege Tank 3/4 painted so it's a start ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Wyvern, thats at least 8 hours hobby time before work  Grand Master, thats what I have come to realise. I love the Alpha Legion but just cant get into painting them, I am just wasting time working on them. I was enjoying painting the Iron Hands, hence my return.
