These look fantastic.

[AlexHeap]

Thanks! I'm really happy with how the army's coming together.

I've just finished off these guys who I've converted for use as Scouts/ Marines in Carapace Armour:

Lots of lovely super-choom

[AlexHeap]

Thanks guys. You can never go wrong with lots of CHOOM!


Here's my Praetor who will be leading the army:

I'll be using him as Lias Issodon for 40k and the head and right arm are magnetized in case I ever want to use him as Dynat in 30k.

Great job!

 

Very nice shade of blue together with a super clean paint job. I'll be following this for sure.

[Mors Vincit]

Where are the scout helmets from?

[The_son_of_Dorn]

Ran out of likes to give. 

[Olis]

I haven't (yet). ^_^

[Flint13]

Sweet!

 

That's my favorite Alpha helmet and it matches perfectly with Dynat. Great job, man.

[AlexHeap]

Thanks everyone! He's definitely one of my favourite models.

@Mors Vincit: The helmets are from puppetswar

 

 

Here are a couple of new additions ready to provide some Heavy Support:

[The Traitor]

Wow, nice thread, such crisp colours. Well painted AL are always great to see and yours are very good!

[TRIBUN]

Love this project. Very nice metallic green blue sheme. Btw: When did the AL switch from purple to green blue? Was it when deciding for Horus?

[Brother Turok]

They didn't have purple armor. They only looked that way on one cover of the early horus heresy books (which also had marines in mark 7 armor... fluff and art was still evolving and being created).

 

They pretty much have iridescent armor, or blueish green iridescent armor. The metallic blue/green chameleon look is correct with the fluff.

Not quite.

 

The black books go into some depth on how there were like a dozen different armor schemes from iridescent purple and steel to the more common green-blue. It was a decently ingenious way to explain the really inconsistent depictions and descriptions up until that point.

[AlexHeap]

Cheers guys :D

Rolling out the big guns now. I've just finished off this Sicaran

[Flint13]

It's weird how you can make it looks so clean and so weathered at the same time.

 

Great work, Alex.

 

Quick question. What color do you use for the little line highlights on your black panels?

[AlexHeap]

A couple more scouts and their ride finished:

Where did the Scout bodies come from? :O

[Olis]

Where did the Scout bodies come from?

 

They're from the Tempestus Scions kit, if I'm not mistaken. Welcome to the forums, btw. :)
