Im not the original poster but if im not mistaken, those are the actual GW alpha legion pads.

-----

To the actual poster, great Alpha Legion! I love the chaos stars on the other pads!

Also, in an ironic twist on something you threatened to do previously, I'm going to make another promise.
If the package is not signed for, it will be returned to me. If it is returned to me, I will set out everything that is in the box of import and burn it. I will watch it go up in flames.
The video that I shoot of it will be posted to YouTube. I will email you a link, as well as post links to it in open forums.
Remember when you threatened me that, if I sent you anything, you'd burn it and send me a link to the video, Matthew? Well, this way, you'll get what you want (burned models), regardless - MagickalMemories

I thought Alpha Legion were blue? Great models and painting, though!

Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

no they arnt blue nor green either. Kind of an aqua custom color of the two deal. BUT I really like your squad there. Its smart for Chaos players to make big squads. The best and easiest way to overwhelm SM. Good job painting man!

Those were indeed their pre-heresy colours.

Alphas can generally come in many shades of blue to green. GW have changed their mind several times on the 'official' colouring, now just stating that they have scales on their armour.

Plus the Alphas hate strict adherence to any set of rules, so really, anything goes!

I'd disagree.

They don't hang out in the Eye of Terror, and are almost completely cut off from the Chaos powers. Plus, they're damn sneaky.

Part of the Alpha Legion doctrine involves battlefield confusion.

Why does that mean the eagles are ok? They disguise themselves as Loyalists! Most anyone who isn't a member of the Inquisition or the Astartes is going to have a hard time telling that something's not quite right with the "reinforcements" coming to support or relieve them.
