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?




Best Chaos Codex EVER!



On another note Forge World still frustrates me enormously.

I have a little hobby-thread going in the P&M section. Some say it's the best blog on Dakka, some don't agree, most belive it would be better if I finished at least one project some time this century and not just kept starting new ones.

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.

Thanks man, always nice to hear that one's work is appreciated, and by all means steal away to your heart's content.

Now I will return to watching my UPS Tracking number every half hour to see where my £500 worth of resin and book is in the world. Forge World Supply drop currently sitting in Nottingham awaiting dispatch tomorrow.

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...

Well I am using the chaos codex to provide the army list for the alpha legion and their sorcerers don't have psycic hoods, the force sword will be taken care of with paint since I didn't have a model avalible for one.

I had to laugh (well, cry a little) on the

I wish i could 'slap together' cool dramatic looking models.

nice supply drop by the way, looking forward to seeing more paint.

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!

Haven't posted here in ages but i've been happily lurking away.

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]?

So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother.
