That blue makes them look like contemporary Ultramarines. Is there any way you can make the Alpha Legion iconography more noticable?

It's actually a lot more purple-y blue than Ultramarines Blue, I mixed it myself.

That said, with the fluff the Alpha Legion have, it wouldn't be completely inappropriate for them to look like Ultras...

They look very good

And i really like the custom predetor

Always good to see more Alpha Legion infiltrate from the shadows...
I completely endorse Aventine Fly Lord's point about the Ultramarine colours.
No pics of the zealots though :( - what models did you use for them?
