Castiel Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Aww, sadly I don't have the models or monies spare to take part I don't think, but I'll have a rummage in the bitz box and see if I can splice something together. I'll certainly be watching this though, and I will definitely take part in January for the XVIII!

Ordo Machinum Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 @1000heathens: Hmm, so when we get to the 11th and 2nd Legions do we get a month off or will there be a 'make your own' lost and purged legion? Sunday, November 30th, 23:59:59, GMT -8 is the cut off date. Thou hast been warned. Okay, so -8/915014.M3 (November 30th, 11:24:01 PM to 23:59:59 PM) it is then...

Grotsmasha Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 After many attempts, I've gotten a pic that accurately (plus some Photoshop Auto-Balance) represents my model and colours, without further ado, my entry into March of the Legions: Alpha Legion challenge ++ Subject: Unidentified ++ ++ Status: Traitor ++ ++ Location: =]REDACTED[= ++ ++ Time-stamp: =]REDACTED[= ++ EDIT #2: Full compliment of pics, securing my completion :END EDIT ++ Helm Audio recording recovered: =]REDACTED[= ++ "I have killed Eldar and their Dark Kin, I have waged war upon Ork-kind, I have slain too many species and razed to many civilisations to the ground to recall. Today though, today is different, I face one of the deadliest foes of the galaxy, and the galaxy will remember this day for eternity. Yesterday they believed us allies, yesterday they believed us brothers. Today we become something else, today they will label us Traitor.

Slips Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Has anyone had any success on using Drakhenoff Nightshade over a metallic surface to get a blue metal? Edit: That said, here is the Dread I have Pledged. Would have used an Alpha Legion Specific one but, it ain't out yet and It might come out too close to the end of the challenge and defeat the purpose of having 1 month for a single figure :p ...Also, I had this one lying around with a still undecided fate. Now it has one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298727-march-of-the-legions-xx-legion/page/4/#findComment-3850769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Has anyone had any success on using Drakhenoff Nightshade over a metallic surface to get a blue metal? That was my failed round one. It appeared more purple than blue for me. In then end I ended up creating my own washes/glazes out of Dark Angels green and Necron Abyss.

Slips Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Oh, Purple is just as good for me! Was going to try a have parts be Metallic Blue with others Metallic Amethyst. Having the whole thing be a singular, dark, metallic purple speaks to me more. May add some Carroburg Crimson to it to give it a redder tone.

Kizzdougs Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Inspired by the sheer number of vows, and the awesome minis that people are already coming up with I just had to make a start. So far I've only been experimenting with a couple of potential colour schemes. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3176_zps8cbac9d4.jpg At this stage I think I'll probably end up going with the scheme used on the marine's left leg. If I can't get it to work I'll try to emulate the colour scheme on the front of Legion. Still no real ideas on how to actual model my Legionary though...

Delvarus Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 So keen for this i have been flat out building Exodus Lukee how did you do that helmet!?!?! It is a World Eaters Mk II veteran helmet, i scraped out the middle and trimmed a Mk IV respirator to fit the gap. The optic is made from a Anvil industry sniper scope that came with his rifle and the small optics on the left from Chaos Warpsmith. Hope this helps and pleased you like it.

Kizzdougs Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Mind sharing How you got that Purple? The purple was three coats of Druchii Violet over a base coat of Ironbreaker. I added a single layer of Guilliman Blue as well but it didn't really add that much to the effect. Mind sharing how you did the blue!? Each leg was painted slightly differently; the right leg was three coats of Guilliman Blue over the Ironbreaker base coat. I then used Runefang Steel to add some edge highlights and finished the scheme off with some Tamiya Clear Green (a GW green glaze would work fine for this stage) over the raised areas. The Left leg was three coats of Tamiya Clear Blue (this was more difficult to use than the Guilliman Blue but I think the actual colour is nicer, more aquamarine). I then finished this leg off the same way as the other with the edge highlight and green glaze. Mind telling me how you got that silver! Haha, I assume you're joking bro, just good old Ironbreaker :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298727-march-of-the-legions-xx-legion/page/4/#findComment-3850912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
