Welcome brother! Remember, part of the ship, part of Alpharius...

So few days left to finish! So much procrastination done beforehand and now having no time due to school work!!!! WHY AM I LIKE THIS!

 

..Well deadlines are a pretty great motivator (look at lasts months casual hobby challenge for me :p)

Wolf_pack: Plating bombs AND doing push-ups. Now thats a hardcore marine biggrin.png

And still not censored.gif bits! Im furious furious.gif Its been 2 weeks!

I feel you brother. I had to do this Corvus marine because my junk was 3 weeks late due to a hold up at the border followed up by it being shipped to the wrong province before coming back to me.

I have finished my mini...in time!

But before I post this...here a giant kudos to all you guys and girls here and heathens in particular for starting this. This is the first mini I have worked on and finished in the last two years - you have really made this an inspiring event and it feels great having gotten the old brushes into paint again.

so, pics incoming....

Unidentified Alpha Legionary, Dropsite Massacre. Shayatan pattern Moritat Configuration, advanced Armor Pattern. Note later crusade weaponary modified for operations under conditions resulting from Destroyer type rad and alchem ordonance.

Okay, WIP picture, tomorrow its basing, finishing touches (greenstuff the warp) and priming, then on to painting. He looks a bit short maybe, but I think thats because the backpack is so long it creates a weird visual effect in one of the pictures. Or maybe when i was cropping the pictures I did something wrong...

Final Submission - March of the Legions - Alpha Legion

 

++Picts of Decurion-Prime Davit Haytar of the XXth Legion, wearing an suit of power armour of unknown origin. Visibly armed with a Phobos pattern bolter modified for flash suppression. The lack of squad markings was typical for these insertion teams++

++Images acquired on Jaruun V during extraction, 953.M30++

 

Haytar was extracted alongside a further 29 Alpha Legionaries when the 76th Expedition Fleet entered the system to find the capital world is disarray following a range of apparent terrorist assaults on key military, political and religious institutions.

Additional Pict records below

 

Timing is everything.

***

Decurion-Prime Haytar waited. He was good a waiting, finding the moment to strike. "Target Upsilon 1 approaching waymarker Gamma-Mu 1". "Target Mu 2 approaching waymarker Beta-Eta 1". Haytar began to move...the moment had come.

***

The Hermitage shook with the after effects of the explosion.  Within seconds the doors burst open, securitor Kravin entered, slamming and baring the doors. "We're under attack Magister!". "I can hear that, fool. Who is it? Yarlists? Sons of Jaruun?". "No. This feels different. I think it's the new group that has sprang up recently. Whoever it is we need to move you. Now. The Field Marshall is already on his way to the Bunker." 

***

"Waypoint Gamma-Mu 3 achieved"

***

Kravin cursed as he found his way blocked by fighting, some unidentified militia. Protocol stated he should take the alternative route to the Bunker rather than risk the fighting. Why did he feel like a puppet dancing on someone else's strings? "Form a wedge, advance and protect the Magister" "But Securitor..." "You have your orders", snarled Kravin as he primed his shotgun.

***

"Divergence. Waypoint Gamma-Mu 17 failed. Alternative Wayroute Gamma-Kappa initiated. Waypoint Gamma-Kappa 1 achieved"

***

Kravin wiped the gore from his visor, breathing heavily from the exhaustion. Someone was definitely trying to direct their movements. For what aim? He had once known a Trickster who would entertain the crowds, performing card tricks and other magika. The real trick wasn't determining the opposition's card but ensuring they pick the card you wanted them to.  Whoever was directing the opposition was an expert Trickster.

***

"Divergence. Waypoint Gamma-Kappa 4 failed. Alternative Wayroute Epsilon-Alpha initiated. Waypoint Epsilon-Alpha 1 achieved"

***

Haytar frowned. Perhaps he had underestimated his opposition. This may actual be interesting. "Kappa-3 to position 7-1-2. Kappa-7 to position 3-4-4.

***

"Divergence. Waypoint Epsilon-Alpha 11 failed. Alternative Wayroute Epsilon-Omega initiated. Waypoint Epsilon-Omega 1 achieved.

***

"Divergence"

***  

"Divergence"

***

"Divergence"

***

Haytar snarled and he nearly tore the soldier in front of him in half with his power dagger. Who was doing this? How were they doing this? The mission was on the verge of breaking down. How could that happen against mortals?  The Marshall had been terminated easily. Why was this holy man still alive?

***

"Full Divergence. Waypoint Omega-Alpha 6 failed...Prime? What are your orders?"

"Initiate Hydra"

***

'We're nearly there', though Kravin. "Stay alert. We're at the final hurdle" "Securitor, reports of disturbances surrounding us." Lazlo looked at him. "They talk of metal giants." "Ignore it. Double time. You too Magister", he said turning to wearied man. "It's now or never".

Suddenly the doors behind them burst open. An instant later the wall caved in to their left. Through the openings burst 3 giants, moving too fast for their bulk. Kravin had time to notice that guns they raised looked foreign before they erupted with fire. Whatever they were they tore his men to pieces. Kravin lifted fired his shotgun until it ran dry but it hardly seemed to even scratch their armour. 

 

He reach for his father's blade. It was said to be an ancient weapon crafted with lost skill and capable of piercing any armour. He had just enough time to draw it before one of the giants reached him and punched him in the chest. It felt like he had been struck by a powered-hammer. His chest cavity had collapsed and he couldn't breath. He couldn't move. He could only watch as the rest of his men were cut down. Leaving the just the Magister to have his neck broken. Why had they waited? If they were capable of this, why had they not just done it from the beginning? They could have all be dead before they knew what was going on. "Why..." he gasped. "Why..."? The giant that had killed him walked over. That last thing he saw was a boot lifted above him before crashing down.

I, Mikhail, accept my role in this.


I promise to lead the XX Legion into the zone of war, and conduct them to glory.


I will do so no matter the ferocity or ingenuity of the foe.


I pledge my honour to the XX Legion.


On this matter, and by this weapon, I swear.

Brave.... I approve :tu:

Here’s my Submission

+++TEXT NOTE+++

+Astartes Identified+

+Legion: XX+

+Company: Unknown+

+Rank: Unknown+

+Name: Unknown+

+++

This unidentified Alpha Legion Astartes was sighted during the early days of the Battle for Grandia, a localised conflict several months after the atrocities at Isstvaan V. The identity of the warrior remains a mystery, and his fate is unknown.

 

http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o501/henrycoll/March%20of%20the%20Legions/Front_small.jpg

 

The markings that have been identified suggest veteran status, and his equipment could suggest that he was leading a head hunter squad, although there are no images of other legionaries recorded. The armour appears to be a heavily modified MkVI variant. Binding studs on the right greave may suggest repair, or may be related to ceremonial or decorative honours. The heavy IIIrd legion presence in the Grandia system has led some to believe that this legionary may have infiltrated that legion, where bonding studs were used as a mark of decoration. The MkVI helm appears standard, but the torso appears heavily modified with no surface markings, and extended protection to the chest and neck. This pattern, previously unidentified, may be a custom design by the user, or may represent a more extensive modification by this detachment. The modified Umbra Ferrox bolter with suppressor is seen stowed, and the inferno pistol in the legionary’s left hand implies that this warrior was close to his potential target.

This trooper is the only Astartes captured on surveillance footage from The Grandia Forward Defence Post Bastion camera. The image was extracted from the surveillance footage after the outpost was found deserted, several hours after a loss of routine communications. No alarm had been sounded and no GDF troopers survived. It is speculated that this trooper may have been part of a flanking manoeuvre, and although no clear motive has ever been identified for the involvement of the XXth in the Grandia conflict, the outpost soon came under the control of the IIIrd legion, which subsequently used it as a staging area for further orbital landings.

This warrior was subsequently seen in numerous other skirmishes in the sector, often on different planets, vessels and was even sighted behind the GDF lines. Several participants in the conflict claim to have wounded the warrior, however no evidence has been found to support this.

So, I finished him...

Learned some things, especially on the Leg Areas. Doing a purple-to-blue-to-green fade only using shades - and probably not even the right ones at that, is very hard. Also the first time I've tried Freehanding tongue.png Oh well, Learning experience!

Things I'm happy I got right are the Shoulders with the Black-Silver color I got. On the front photo, you can see on the left shoulder where I had some Primer Problems and had to scrape some of it off... Another is the Metallic Green I got using only Biel-Tan Green.

Contemptor :

Alpha1

Alpha2

Alpha3

Alpha4

Alpha5

Fluff:

Depicted here is Revered Bro-!^^^!@(%%$^^@**(( ++Error; Partial Data Corruption++ at the battle of [Redacted] between Forces of the Alpha Legion and the Mechanicum with Heavy Auxilia Support. Where he engaged in Zone Mortalis actions with this legions famed Seeker and Headhunter Cadres. As such, he eschewed any form of long ranged weaponry and opted for more Flamer and Graviton based weapons installed within his Sarcophagus' arms as well as requisitioning a Cyclone Missile Launcher armed with Frag Missiles.

Before his entombing within the mighty Contemptor Pattern Dradnough Chassis, Brother %##@%*&^^$@ , had served within his legion as Veteran Sergeant within one of their Headhunter Squads before being inducted into the Effrit Stealth Squad under the command of [Error 404] where, after three decades of service, he fell in the line of duty during a protracted siege with an as-of-yet unknown Xenos Species.

He was recovered, after fifteen days, from under one of the Xenos' Walkers, Broken but alive, some wounds the clear indication of Melta-inflicted Damage - such as the total obliteration of an entire leg and sections of the lower abdomen as well as the fusing of Flesh and Ceramite around the aforementioned injuries.

There are conflicting sightings that place Revered Brother +++ERROR; FILE DELETED BY SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR+++ in War Zones where two disparate Alpha Legion Forces were found to have come into conflict with one another.

Though not depicted here, later sightings seem to indicate the replacement of any Alpha Iconography with Omegas upon his Chassis.

Sorry for the blurry pic, had to use my rubbish laptop camera...

Fluff to follow soon, hopefully I can get a better picture tomorrow with an old camera I found in the garage >.>

The pictures were even worse. :( So this'll do I guess.

 

Anyways here's my fluff, though it only partially pertains to what is modelled, but Yolo.

 

Gammarion glanced down the hall, it was empty. He drew his dual bolt pistols and stalked forward. The sounds of armoured feet thundering behind him began to grow. He had been found.

 

He glanced around him, there was an airduct to his left and about ten yards behind him the corner made a right turn. Gammarion took a pair of frag grenades and placed them on either side of the hallway and climbed into the air duct, securing it in place behind him. He quickly took out his combat blade and cut a small knock into the grate just large enough to accommodate the muzzle of his bolt pistol.

 

The first figure cut the corner and became visible to Gammarion, a man clad in black armour baring a winged sword. He pulled the trigger and stopped him in his tracks. The remainder of the group began to round the corner, he squeezed the trigger again. This time he hit one of the frag grenades, blowing a hole in the decking and mutilating a couple of men. The lone survivor had spotted where Gammarion had been hiding and began to fire on him.

 

Before the Dark Angel could fire off a single shot Gammarion sent a bolt round straight down the barrel of the boltgun. He kicked down the grate and pounced on the Dark Angel, engaging him in fisticuffs. Gammarion grabbed him by both his legs and took him to the ground. He ripped the helmet from the Dark Angels head and began to smash his face in with it.

 

The dying Dark Angel looked into Gammarion's visor and uttered "Who are you?" and Gammarion removed his helmet and looked into the sole functioning eye of the Dark Angel.

 

"I am Alpharius."

Remember, you have until 01 December 2014, 00:01, GMT -8!!! Get crackin', y'all! 

 

Including myself, lol. Been a bit busy lately, but I'm applying highlights now. Hoping to have him up by tomorrow.

 

All Oaths have been updated to this point. If your name isn't on the first post, please let me know so you can get credit!

Brothers, sisters, chaverim, I regret to say that I shan't fulfil my oath. After a run of busy weekends (birthdays & farewelling friends moving overseas), I relied on a quiet weekend to put my mini together & apply paint. Alas, on Friday night, I did myself some damage courtesy of car door & my right hand is currently bandaged.

 

Just got confirmation this arvo that I've broken 3 fingers, and they'll be bandaged for a while. This means I can't hold a mini to paint, let alone my brush.

 

I probably won't be able to fulfil an oath for next month, either, but as I did have aome fluff on the go, might contribute that at least. :(
