Progress Log: Alpha Legion Warband: "The Last Surprise"

[hd3]

So I've finished kitbashing my Dark Apostle. This is designed to imitate a chaplain to help further the theme of the Alpha Legion's unclear beliefs (unclear perhaps even to themselves). I used a dark apostle as the base but removed the daemon horns on the armour in favour of traditional skulls, removed the cursed tome for a nice standard bolt pistol and swapped out the cursed brazier power pack for a nice normal one with extra skulls for the chaplain motif. 

 

I wanted a black distinct from the norm so Im going to use a doom death black over Tamiya light grey primer.

Just wanted to show that my Chaos Lord/Legion Praetor is finally assembled with cape and all thanks to grotsmasha. Ibid Plague Marines and Disharmonist.

So I finally mounted my Warpsmith on an appropriate base. They don't make a sector imperialis base for the unique base size of the warpsmith alas. This is from the 'Derelict Spacecraft'  range of bases by Admiral Apocalypse and printed by ClassyKomodoMinis on Etsy. I searched for ages to find a 65 x 35 size base that matched the more usual sizes of bases. Thank the emperor I found this.  Next is just varnishing and then I'm moving onto a certain epic Dark Angel....

For Cypher, I had to get grotsmasha to help with the cloak and face. For the armour I'm doing him like a 30k dark angel so I'm using doom death black from two thin coats as the base. I mostly worked on the base which is a forest resin base because I thought it would be reminiscent of Caliban. I used a rhinox hide base for the soil, then an agrax wash and a dry brush of mournfang and warpstone glow to help try and create a forest feel. Then mournfang brown for the roots with Caliban green on the plant leaves and an edge highlights of moot green. The fruit is Vallejo royal purple with magos purple on top. Then Mechanicus grey, nuln oil and administratum grey for highlights on the rocks.

Finally Gorthor brown for the side which is my hint at what I think of Cypher's true allegiance if you've worked out the order behind my base sides colouring scheme.
