Hi All,

 

I think this will be my 3rd attempt at alpha legion. when the Primaris marines came out i knew they had to be alpha legion. so ive decided to do them in a stripped down, no chaos and no imperial markings kind of way.

 

any way heres the first squad, let me know what you think.

Awesome stuff... I love the idea of the Alpha Legion intercepting Primaris technology and subverting it for their own use.

Your marines look crisp and clean.

I, too, had this idea, so it's great to see it in action. Very nice work. Once you find that perfect recipe for XX Legion teal it's hard to ever stop...

 

I did a similar thing a while back with the Deathwatch kit to make Alpha Chosen. Now I think I will have to get that gravis captain after all...

right, next squad is done ( finished last week but forgot to post) no w with added kibble. i tried taking the pics in a different light hoping the they would come out a little better. quite interesting that under different light i get almost a completely different color.

You use the loyal Marines rules for them?

Could you tell us how you did the paint job?

 

At the moment im planing to, but ill kit them out for both chaos and loyalist. im going to be using tempestus scions with them which should be fun. 

 

The recipe is:

 

Basecoat leadbeltcher

2 x coela greenshade washes 

drybrush leadbeltcher

2 x guiliman (spits*) blue washes 

 

the first picture gives a better idea of what that looks like in natural light. but for some strange reason depending on the light the color changes as per the last 2 pics from a deep blue to a green. not sure why theres so much change but its appropriate :happy.:

The secret ingredient is placed where you least expect it, before your own eyes. Alpha Legion trickery?

 

And that secret ingrdient is hate! Saliva covered hate.

High quality workmanship.

 

I person follow you example of using primaris marines instead of the normal chaos marine.

(Just because the normal marines did feel right to use a Alphas and the size.)

 

I must say I am impressed with the paint job and the creative use of available accessories.

Keep up the good work.
