I've recently started a new Alpha Legion CSM Army, so I'll post some pics here. Any suggestions, comments welcome!

Rotate your pictures (Windows picture preview can do this) first before posting. Try using better lighting and turn off your camera flash - it's not doing your model (which looks like it is fairly good) justice.

sorry about that poor quality, ill retake some more later, but for now here is some of what im going to be painting in the future
10 Chaos Space Marines
5 Terminators
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also here's my Alpharius Model I'm going to paint. The base is the Sicarius finecast model(finecast is DOPE!), with the ultramarine details either filed off or covered up. He also had his stomach plate filed down to nothing, as there was a giant space marine-ish thing on it. Im thinking im gonna out an alpha legion transfer on dat shiz. He wields a daemon sword from the chaos knights set, and has the chaos sorcerer backpack, which tied it together quite nicely i believe. I filed the shoulders down and them with terminator shoulderpads for extra badassery. The baldy head is from the chaos lord plastic set. and for the "combi-melta," I just stuck a melta gun barrel on the end of his plasma pistol. I think it looks good.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Alright, finally done uploading these :p
These are my chosen, and I must say, they are my pride and joy  By far my best conversions so far, I know it's a commonly used technique(the scale cloaks), but nonetheless, I love them.
Rules wise, I'm playing them as chosen with 5 melta guns, this is my tank-destroying, character killing squad mainly. I like to think of melta guns as explosive shotguns, so that's what I
made them look like :p
Icon Bearer:
Champion

A lil blurry, sorry bout that, Ill post a new one when I can.

looking good so far. I'm really liking the added lizard bit's to the models and the cloaks are spot on... And it's about damn time the last legion got some attention.
Oh and Alpharius is looking good so far, would have done pre-heresy myself but the real question is are you going to make an Omegon model?

I'm thinking about it actually. And I'm planning on making the symbols on Alpharius' armor pre-heresy, like the "A" with chains.

Found this thread after seeing your Chaos Sorcerer on the "Best Conversion" thread. Excellent work straight through so far and I'll be watching with interest! Subbed and looking forward to more!

okay, so I need another unit of marines, but I dont wanna spend the 30 bucks :( so, with spare parts, I was inspired to build a whole new chapter. I know this is "Alpha Legion WIP Army," but I want some flavor in my army. So my army will now consist of 2 chapters, the Alpha Legion, and the "Bronze Pirates," my new Khorne oriented chaos space pirate chapter.

focus is all off :/ but I think he needs something more. Im not sure how much i like that light saber either, it looks awkward.

The Icon Bearer...where did you get the scale cloak for him from? It looks really nice, and I especially love the finny collar you gave it.
I think this is a very nice varied Chaos army. Your models have some nice uniqueness to them. The problem is, that I'm not sure how good of a thing that is for an Alpha Legion army. I have limited familiarity with them, but don't they all try and look identical to one another?
That being said, the ones you've painted look pretty sweet. This army should rock when it's finished.

Well, I'm glad you said that :p In my AL army, each different unit wears the same gear and has unique additional gear depending on the unit. For example, the regular marines are not converted and will look all the same when painted. The havocs each have a trophy spike on their backpacks. And the chosen each have scale cloaks and shotguns(melta guns).

Also, here's a better pic of my Bronze Pirate, along with a new sword blade, which I like much better, and a loincloth, for extra chaosiness.

I hope you intend to remove the blades of the swords before painting, cuz that will be awesome if they had glowing green swords!!!!!
Hmmmmm, you could make them ghost pirates and the green sword blades would be epic!

Victory is not the most important outcome. Enjoyment and excitement is the best outcome, victory is sweeter when it was fun. |

Idk about ghost pirates, but I am going to leave the sword like that :p I was actually thinking of making them cyborg space pirates, and adding mechanical arms/legs/implants, that sort of thing. Any thoughts?
Here is what the armor will look like, maybe I'l wash it or something, but I like it. Verdigris suits space pirates in my opinion.

Good idea about the "pirates army". Lore wise, you can jsut say the alpha leagion killed the pirates warsmith and so the pirates vowed alelgiance to the alpha legion or something like that.
IIRC, Honsou of the iron warriors does that a tournament of some kind to make his army bigger.
