Loquille's attempt to stop lurking. Horus Heresy log.

[Loquille]

It's time for a few more of the Legion to march forth. 

 

This time in the shape of a Seeker Squad, 

 

 

 

For when my Lightning isn't around to snipe characters with Krakens, plasma is my second choice, so they're all rocking the faithful combi plasma. 

 

Bringing more of the same I completed this Plasma support a while a go, but couldn't get any pics of them until now. 

 

 

You may wonder, why all the Plasma? Sekhmet.. I need some way to bring them down. One day I'll kill them, one day.

 

 

As a bit of a palette cleanser I decided to do some work on my terrain, finishing off the second building and weathering them both up.

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to pull the mat out to see how much is still needed, obviously the other pieces are in progress, but I'm slowly getting there. 

 

 

@Bjorn Firewalker: Thanks dude :) 

 

 

As always, thanks for looking. 

[Pearson73]

Really nice work on the new Alpha Legion, love the colours you get on these guys. I need to pick up some recon marines, they're such nice sculpts.

 

The terrain is very nicely done too.

[Loquille]

What's a Legion without officers? 

After the local group started making plans for a large ZM game in the summer I thought I'd try out a couple different consuls. 

 

First up  a Preavian, currently waiting on his charges to arrive. 

 

 

 

 

The second one I built up is a Siege Breaker to lead the ZM force. Pretty much for one reason. So I can throw Phosphex down corridors. :) 

 

 

 

While this one isn't to do with the above, he's been on the desk for a while, a Warmonger, though I'm not sure when i'll use him. It ticks a box on completed options. 

 

 

 

 

 

@Pearson73. Thankyou :) 

 

 

As always, thanks for looking.

[Pearson73]

You're quite right, officers are a great way to explore the legion, from lowly line-officers, to more esteemed personages. Each of these three has a solid pose, but the Warmonger really takes it, he envokes a strong sense of power and arrogance.

[Loquille]

Something Skitters in the darkness. 

 

Jumping ahead of a few things I decided to make a start on the Praevian's friends. Decided to complete one as a test, and overall I'm happy with the look. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a final shot of him with the Praevian, two more to go. 

 

 

@Pearson73: Thankyou. I like the idea that he gives off the arrogant vibe compared to the others. :) 

 

 

As always, thanks for looking. 

[BadgersinHills]

Great stuff!

The painting pile gets a little bit smaller. 'ignores the second pile growing..' 

 

 

First up I've finished a Heavy Support Squad, armed with Heavy Flamers for something different. Curious to see how they'll work in the Orbital Assault list, but they should help get rid of unwanted visitors in Zone Mortalis. 

 

 

 

 

Next up is the second Vorax to go with the Praevian. 

 

 

Next up on the station is the first five of the Assault Squad and a unit of Learnians that are getting some paint at last. 

 

 

@Badgersinhills:  Thanks dude :) 

 

 

 

As always, thanks for looking.

[Morngrym]

The painting pile gets a little bit smaller. 'ignores the second pile growing..' 

 

 

Ha, story of all our lives right there!

 

Really nice work on these Alphas - I just went through the last few pages and they are very impressive (love the color tone as well).   

[Loquille]

The Lernaean finally make an appearance on the paint station after watching so many of their brothers pass through. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So these have been waiting a little while, I think all the scales put me off for a while, over thinking. But pretty simple when it came down to it. 

 

 

@Morngrym: Thankyou :) 

 

 

 

Up next should be the third Vorax, and if I don't get distracted a few Assault Marines.  

 

As always, thanks for looking. 

[Pearson73]

Super clean work, cranked out at good speed too, you're truly a hobby machine! An energy effect could look cool on the power axes and maybe some gore or scratching on those brutal chainfists? The heavy flamers could also benefit from heat stains on the nozzles.

[Markus_]

Fantastic models is all I can say, it's so nice to see a consistent looking force coming along.

[Loquille]

From the dark the skittering returns. 

 

From working on them in between other stuff I've completed the third Vorax to join the Praevian, really like how they look together, though after a friend called them cute I can't stop thinking 'cute little murder machines' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like the Vorax I've been doing bits and pieces on these pods in between everything else. . They've been 'done' for a while, but I just needed to get to the weathering stage with some of the other units to push myself to finish them. Two of them are rescues, and up close show, but they should blend in with the rest, as I still need a few more. 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally the last bit of progress for now in the shape of the first five Assault marines. 

 

 

 

 

@Pearson:  Thankyou :) I'm thinking of going back through them later on and looking at the axes and other power weapons. 

 

@Markus: Thanks! One of the aims with my Heresy stuff is to try and keep it all similar in style and basing. 

 

 

As always, thanks for looking. 

[Cadmus Tyro]

Not quite sure how I’ve missed this thread evolving over the last few months, excellent work dude, loving the teals, lens colour really works well too. Bravo!

Air Assets incoming.

 

Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter 99510,

Piloted by Flight Lieutenant Sariah,

Launched from the Fleet Carrier Aspasia

 

This is a repaint of ol' reliable she takes part in most lists and is known for hunting characters with Kraken missiles, as you do.  :) 

I decided to play around with all sorts transfer wise to make it more individual and not an actual Alpha Legion asset. 

 

 

 

 

 

I also managed to visit my local club last week and stick my gaming mat and completed terrain in there for use. 

 

 

 

Two pieces, the bottom left and top right in the first picture aren't mine, as I still need to grab another couple pieces, but pretty happy with it all together now. Also means it's no longer taking up space. 

 

Two games down on it so far, first saw the Space Wolves give me a beating. While the second somehow saw me table a Thousand Sons force, not how I expected that to go. 

 

@Cadmus Tyro: Thanks! 

[Pearson73]

Nice use of transfers on the Lightning, the black eagles really pop against the white, whilst the others give it a sense of realism.

[Loquille]

Lets talk treason, or rather The Rewards of Treason. Completed the first of my Alpha Legion Invictus Suzerains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So only the one model for this update, but several bits and pieces in progress. The above unit may be jumping the queue though.

 

@Pearson73: Thanks, I wanted to try and get it to look more like an actual aircraft with the small warnings and such, so glad it works. 

only another six to go.

[Pearson73]

Really like this model, both the pose and the use of parts. The silver breastplate is a nice touch, helps him stand out without being ostentatious.

[Loquille]

Courage and something something?

 

I finished my take on the Invictus Suzerains and their Land Raider this morning, completing another part of the current Coils list. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now they just need to survive long enough to have some fun. :) 

 

 

@pearson73: Thanks, That's what I was going for, looking more ornate, but not over the top like some of the other Legions. 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Land Raider and its passengers.

[War of the Eagle]

Lovely job on the landraider.

[TheTrans]

Coming ace mate! That terrain is fantastic! 

[Loquille]

So, I got distracted and started a small side project. 

 

For the Khargan!

 

 

 

 

 

 

@BjornFirewalker: Thanks dude.

 

@War of the Eagle: Thankyou.

 

@TheTrans: Thanks, it's nice to actually play a game on it knowing it's actually mine.  :) 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Great job on the White Scar!

[Loquille]

My brain: I should paint more Alpha Legion before working on any more White Scars.

 

My brain: Consider it done!

 

Wait, not like that!!

 

 

So I couldn't help myself and had to paint Qin Xa's base before anything else. That poor Alpha legionnaire, though to be fair I did use a White Scar on the base of Alpharius. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

@BjornFirewalker: Thanks, it made a nice change.  

[Bjorn Firewalker]

A wrecked Contemptor Dreadnought makes for an AWESOME base.
