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.

The last thing i want to do is hurt you. But it is on my list.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.
