Freakiq Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The models seem to be lacking specific legion iconograpy, don't doubt they'll fit many legions. Glad to see they're not known characters, hated Hamath Kraatos being event only. I was lucky to get my hand on one quite cheap.

grand_master85 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I love them both, though hard to see how they'll fit into my Night Lords, especially the gorgeous ALpha Legion painted mini.I might see if I can buy two; convert one for my Night Lords, and keep the other au naturale as he would make an awesome White Scar Centurion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/page/2/#findComment-3932006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjasuperspy Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I like them. They both seem generic yet ornate enough to work for "%LEGION Sargent in Artificer Armor w/ Power weapon" depending on what the shoulder pads look like and those are pretty easy to move/remove anyway. That said I will absolutely knife fight you for the Alpha Legion dude. And as an aside: dare I dream that the little XX on his knee is a decal (and not just an Iron Hands decal doubled up or some generic "X" decal from wherever)?

God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Lovely minis. I got the Minotaurs one last year, it's nice to see some proper HH ones. The Davinite & Navigator were nice but I didn't feel compelled to buy them.

DuskRaider Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I see a Forgebreaker (Iron Warrior) and Chaplain (Alpha Legion) for my Death Guard right there... so nice.

Athrawes Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The second one is wearing a Tengu mask. He will be mine. That's going to make a great Oni Librarian once I slap on a teleport pack.

depthcharge12 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Not a fan of the AL mask and topnot but that's just me. I do like the iron warriors one, however, the fist looks to be the size of a terminator one.

DuskRaider Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The fist resembles the one that comes in the Character Conversion set... which is also gigantic.

Slips Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I swear if they release sevatar for the weekender only I will not be impressed!

PastelAvenger Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The Alpha Legion guy doesn't look like an Alpha Legion guy. In all the fluff they have minimal decoration so why hs this guy decided to go to town on his decorations. I like the model and will probably use it as a Vigilator buts it's not what I expected.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's entirely possible the Alpha Legion guy could be a generic 'Lodge Chieftan' for any Legion which happens to have been painted up in Alpha colours - would explain the serpent iconography. Then again, with the mask, I like to think it's an Alpha Legion 'Redactor' :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/page/2/#findComment-3932245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, with the mask, I like to think it's an Alpha Legion 'Redactor' My first thought when I saw this guy was your awesome photoshop Legionnaires! I lurked that thread pretty hard I definitely want to grab one as a chaplain counts-as. It may be one of my favorite minis ever as of right now, everything about him is what I've wanted to see in Heresy minis for a while. That look where they're just beginning to go Chaos-y and look more like barbaric warriors is what I've been waiting for. The SoH specific minis have been there, but I'm glad to see more "any traitor legion" figures now. He could even make a good Space Wolf with a little work.

DuskRaider Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 There's no Iron Warrior insignia on that model. There's a skull on his belt, but it's not an Iron Warriors symbol. It's actually based on Death Guard or Word Bearers artwork. I'm trying to ascertain if the Alpha Legionnaire has actual Alpha Legion symbolism on his chest piece, or if it's just generic artificing as seen in the Sons of Horus artwork it's based on. Something tells me both are supposed to be generic (and the Alpha Legionnaire actually reminds me more of John Blanche's art for Thunder Warriors than anything).
