Yeah well, can't get everything I guess. Oh wait! You could. Remember this codex? The best one of all time? That gave you every plausible option imaginable and then some?

On another note Forge World still frustrates me enormously.

I must admit, that this is the thread that convinced me to finally make an account here. (Used to frequent another forum for a long time, but it's turning bland).
Either way, your Alpha Legion is phenomenal, though you are already aware of that. I've been planning on rebuilding my Alpha Legion, and this has inspired the new scheme, so thanks for the great pics, and also I apologize for stealing a lot of the scheme.

Chopasaurus it's all practice, you should have seen my first painting efforts back in the mid-90's.. it was godawful..
Spuj; no.. not yet.. I was stupid and changed my order so they had to re-pack it and so it got bumped down on the to-do list and yeah, they are shipping tomorrow. I'll have it ''probably'' by the weekend. I really had to throw out the jetbikes for a storm eagle, seriously.

Not a little bored I have slapped together this sorcerer/librarian/somethingsomething for my 40k alpha legion.
I was originally going for a book in the left hand but it didn't look all that good so I swapped it for a skull instead. I would have liked to use the flaming skull from the empire wizards plastic kit but the flames billow in the wrong direction when compared to the cloak so I had to go for a regular one instead.
Also I have been tampering with my Raven guard to get a usable 2000-point army from the models I have assigned there, in the end I have to go with a Blood angels core with a sizable allied force from the regular space marine codex to avoid fast tanks and to be able to use my Storm Talon.
So, as you can see below it's a mechanised force with some reserved airsupport in the form of a Storm talon and storm raven, the raven will be carrying the captain-boosted assaultsquad and the dreadnought. A slightly converted forge world inquisitor model is standing in as the librarian leading the 8 sternguard who for no appearant reason are modelled as a deathwatch killteam with a inquisition-marked rhino.
For reference this is the armylist.
Codex: Blood Angels.
Captain with Jumppack & Powerfist
Assault squad (5) sergeant has power weapon and meltabombs
Scout squad (6) with sniper rifles & Missile launcher
Deathcompany (5) (I had 100 points over and needed a way to get the land raider into the army list while avoiding a fast vindicator)
Landraider transport
Storm Raven with Typhoon missile launcher & twinlinked Lascannons
Dreadnought with Plasmacannon & Heavy flamer
Allied from codex: space marines
Epistolary Librarian
Tactical Squad (10) with Plasmagun, plasmacannon, rhino transport. Sergeant has poweraxe.
Sternguard squad (8) with 3x combiplasma, 3x combimelta & rhino transport.
Storm talon with typhoon missile launcher
Vindicator with stormbolter

Alpha Legion Librarian looks great!
I'm just not sure it really looks like a psyker (force weapon looks like a power sword, no psy-hood), but you might either correct this with the painting, or just say that Alpha Legion specialists tend to just blend in their comrades, without any specific feature...

Won't take too long, i have a cunning plan with this lot. For once I'll only assemble new ones when the previous batch has been painted. Thought I'd start with a contemptor and a 5-man squad that has been taking a bath and been scrubbed throughtly with strong soap and a toothbrush, so they'll have proper time to dry until tomorrow.
What's going to be a bit tricky is the damn uniformity of the legion itself, sergeants and officers don't wear identifying crests or decorations, banners are not used at all in combat operations and squadmarkings are rarely present. the only thing that differs is truly weapon and gear.
Wich makes me wonder how on earth I am going to represent my praetor's commandsquad's legion banner... sheesh.

The Legion would have some of that stuff for certain settings - formal showings, ceremonies, etc.
You can always model it up and paint it as you wish 'just because', or because sometimes the Legion wants people to think they know what's going on...
...because that's exactly when something else happens!

Thought it was a bout time i stepped out of the dark again and gave you a big ole  .
I do have a question though, the technique you have used on the Alpha Legion at the start, have you applied it to different colours? How would you go about that?

I like Alphy's thinking here. For example, the Night Lord winged helms have been described (by AD-B predominantly) as ceremonial, but you still see them.
Or... You could make multiple squads look like a command squad? If every squad is a command squad, then which one actually is [from the enemy's perspective]?
