Ty_Tyrant89 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hey guys,I've spent a very long time snooping on B&C,looking at people's fine work for inspiration, so I thought I'd actually post some work up. Over the last ten years doing this hobby,I've had many power armour armies,I started as a young teenager with a DIY SM chapter,went on to play CSM (also DIY),then I'd strip the paint and start over,over the course my space marines have been Salamanders,Blood Angels, Imperial Fists etc, and once again I plan to recycle,and use what I can for the Alpha Legion. So,why Alpha Legion? When I was younger I went on colours I liked before lore/fluff,after reading Legion,and finding more about them online,I found myself drawn to the mysterious legion,and after a few years I've decide to get cracking on making my own. My goal here is to paint a table top quality army,and with the feed back from good people here to keep me motivated,hopefully come out with something I'm happy with. So that's a little insight to how this started,and will post some pictures shortly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hey dude, welcome to the B&C :tu: Are you going for a 30k or 40k force? Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty_Tyrant89 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 This will be a 40k force,but I may add 30k components,I'll be playing them with C:SM,as I think it will reflect AL's style of play,just working on getting the photos up off my phone haha.

for_dorn_and_for_de_emprah Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Ehy buddy, nice paintjob! I think you'd improve a lot your models by diluting the paint with a bit of water. Then I was just wondering... why do that marine got the U on the backpack? Keep it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man,I've painted like this for years lol but I'm not looking to make them master class,but I understand where your coming from so I'll keep that in mind. I put the Ultramarine symbol on the back of that guy to display confusion among the enemy,or to at least represent that alpha legion do all sorts of things to make themselves look like the enemy sometimes.Thats also why that Sergeant has a red helmet on his leg plate,and why they still display purity seals,be it as trophies or showing there true loyalty,who knows ;). Also I put razor wire around it to make it more of a mockery toward the Ultra marines also. More comments are welcome,I'll be showing more pictures off later.
