ak1508 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Do you have a recipe for these dudes they look amazing!!! It's essentially the same recipe as FW's, but I use Vallejo metallic silver as a base, then Com Art's blue and teal, but need to look up their exact names, cant remember straight from my head!

TheForgottenAngel Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Awesome stuff! That spear is from the high elf skycutter btw. I used that for a libbt conversion once. It's a great bit. Are you using an airbrush?

ak1508 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 These are soooo sick I love the poses and weapons awesome stuff thanks very much! I got some more stuff planned once I get the models and also want to have a go with weathering powders from FW to smoothen out effects and make them a tad bit dirtier, but not too much ;) cant wait to get my salary soon and then grab a chunk from FW stuff :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320532-my-temple-of-the-hydra-30k-alpha-legion-wips-and-more/page/2/#findComment-4414034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak1508 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 And finally managed to do my Rhino, this one also has FW's weathering powders applied to it and the same was done to my entire infantry models and a Dread. More pics of them will come soon! http://pre13.deviantart.net/8f40/th/pre/f/2016/172/c/b/alpha_legion_rhino_by_ak1508-da73qgc.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320532-my-temple-of-the-hydra-30k-alpha-legion-wips-and-more/page/2/#findComment-4424747 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whered you get the blade Thank you so much! The dozer blade is just a bunch of Dark eldar bits that I had lying about for ages until they came in handy :D just too bad I cant remeber which kit they were from exactly, but im sure you can easily find them or something similar to make a nice design. The DA bits fit the AL theme perfectly well, and allow them to not look all chaosy (not yet), but very unique and sinister at the same time. So yeah, strongly advise you to look through their bits as well ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320532-my-temple-of-the-hydra-30k-alpha-legion-wips-and-more/page/2/#findComment-4424845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aramis K Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Wow, really impressive. The blue really pops, the grey goes well and the hydra designs are excellent. Freehand? Love the shading on the guns too.

ak1508 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thank you all! The hydra heads and coils on the "super-choom" are all freehand, on vennie there are mostly decals and a few freehand bits. I wanted to do this similar to the style FW uses in their Retribution book. More coming soon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320532-my-temple-of-the-hydra-30k-alpha-legion-wips-and-more/page/2/#findComment-4493982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenaur Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Brilliant looking vehicles, I'm really apprehensive of starting the vehicles for my alphas so I'm really interested in how you've highlighted them? And if you have any other tips I'd be very grateful!

ak1508 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Actually I havent, it was more like "reverse highlighting", hahaha! You simply use a weathering powder with the pigment fixer, put it in the areas of joints and such, rub it with a sponge to smooth and get a nice gradient there. It kinda makes it look highlighted, but it actually isn't. The original colour was done with just multiple layers of airbrushing. FW's weathering powders are very good and easy to use as well, you just need the right fixer. I can post you the link to it later and explain how to use it, it is easier than it sounds, trust me! EDIT: This is the pigment fixer I used: http://www.modeldisplayproducts.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=258 The weathering powders I used are Medium Earth, Light Earth and Black Soot. You take a small fraction of the powder, put it where you want to do the mixing (small pot of a kind with an easy access to it, to prevent the pigment fixer from dripping through or escaping). Then use a brush and put some pigment fixer on it to make the powder wet enough for it to be applied. Then once you apply it, you then use a sponge and just rub it around to your liking and thus create a gradient you want. Might take you a few rounds to get a hang of it, but it isnt hard really. But make sure you DO NOT use any varnish afterwards! This (weathering) has to be absolutely last stage of the modelling, otherwise it might ruin the looks, i almost had that once already and barely managed to fix it.
