I haven't posted this in the showcase yet so here goes!

This is a Pre Heresy Alpha Legion army that I painted on commission. All the shoulder details and Alpha Legion symbols are sculpted.

They are beautiful, I really like the Tac squads. I'm not so sure about the battle damage on the dread - it looks too flat, like it is just a pattern. Still, it is much better than I can do and I am sure your client was more than happy.

**DijnsK**

i really like the cammo capes and the -A- sculpts

the battle dmg is very wel done and makes the models come to life

only thing im not so sure about (but thats just a matter of taste i guess) it the color... imo the alfa legion was more blue greenish then the solid blue you painted them in.

**wickedcarrot**

Cheers, the colour scheme was specified by the client. Here is a picture of a Pre Heresy Alpha Legion marine

Cheers,

Tom

**DijnsK**

in that case i didnt say a word! its a lovely shade of blue

**wickedcarrot**

Thanks

The client wanted some of the new Cataphractii terminators to add to his army. Here is the first squad of 5.

Cheers,

Tom

Great work here. The Severin Loth looks excellent and the Contemptors are just wonderful.

Well executed, I strongly disagree with the color you went with though. That is straight up purple

! As an Alpha Legion player I'm almost offended..

The terminator's color is perfect however. Also librarians sword is a masterpiece!

**wickedcarrot**

Cheers dude

I used the same colour mixes, must just be me using the camera differently.... The colour on the terminators is true to what they look like.

**Godeth**

Very nice work!!!

**Stormphoenix**

Love it. Can you show us how you did the blue?

**ghosty**

Wow, incredible miniatures! The purple is very deep, it's hugely satisfying. Very pleased with this level of work

**varl**

love the power sword on the model in the first few photos. care to share your secrets for painting it?

**Jimsolo**

I've always liked the idea presented in Legion that the Alpha Legion always goes around looking identical to one another. I think that this work does a good job conveying that while at the same time upholding a professional standard of artistic expression in the sculpting and painting. Really, amazing work!

**Darth Bob**

You got the purple-blue just right. Well done!

**wickedcarrot**

2 units of 5 Termies on black backdrop

**NeoAigaion**

These are stunning!

**Nemesor**

Where do you get the termie models from, or is that custom work?

Lovely stuff, i bought a few of the older armour marks for sgt's etc in my eagle warriors army as the fluff says they have a higher number of older suits they maintain.

Great to see a full force of the FW mk4 stuff

Always nice to see Golem stuff.

**wickedcarrot**

Cheers dude! I do like the Mk4

Got more models to come over the next few days

**Cave_Dweller**

Really awesome stuff. Love the dread, dual conversion beamers....OP to the MAX!

Also love the wicked power fist on the tactical sergeant.

Although I tend to agree with hoff Starr, the battle damage on the dread looks a bit World of Warcraft. Minor issue as overall these are quite superbly painted and based.

**wickedcarrot**

Here's some rhinos and some autocannons to add into the tactical squads.

Cheers,

Tom

**Freakish1987**

I absolutely love these. Where are the Ultramarines? When do they get to kill? I really can't criticise them. Flawless.

**Typhus the Betrayer**

Well, whoever the commissinor is, he is really lucky! This is a really good army. Do you as the painter pay for the models and paint, or what?

**Iron-Encore**

Wonderful truely wonderful, a very strong solid paint job, the colours are a splitting image of what a pre-heresy alpha legion is. great work I hope you get more commision work because you deserve it.

**wickedcarrot**

Cheers guys!

The client can either buy the models and have them sent to us or send us the money so that we can buy the models for them.

Looks like all of the pics are broken.

Edit: Must have been me or something, they are working again and looking good!
