Quick question if I assembled it in January, but started painting it in April could I enter it? Or doesn't it have to of been all assembled, and painted in April alone?

Not a problem at all! So long as it hasn't been painted (or is being repainted from scratch) then you could have bought and built the model 20 years ago and it would be fine!

These are the first four of my veteran alpha legion special forces. My story for them is that they were part of an advance party conducting black ops in preparation for the istvaan campaign, and got left behind whilst undercover after the massacre. No longer part of the alpha legions master plan (whatever it may be) and cut off from the imperium, they continue to do the only thing they know, infiltrate other chapters and conduct clandestine ops, fighting for themselves

Unhealthy Competition With Other Legions

I'm i pressed with the quality of all the entries so far, it's a really high bar! The alpha legion squad is really cool, the balaclava head and the weathering a spot on.

Hey all. Working on an update, my painting instructor/buddy is teaching me how to paint stripes/pattern schemes.

I hope to have something soon. Had a nasty month but, I'll save the details for my plog.

Aye easy there speed racer. A question ref the photos, are photos with smaller ones inside permitted? Like a main photo with detail shots in smaller frames inside the main photo?

Yeah, that would be fine so long as it's 4 pics (as in actual images) in total.

Also, since you're doing a full 5-man squad, if you really feel you need 5 pics to show each one individually then let me know and it would be fine (that goes for anyone who is doing the full 5 minis, and wants 1 shot per mini!)
