Love the kans big sword!

many thanks Gobert


Anyways, i took the plunge into 30k, soonish my starte box and 2 rhinos aswell as a special weapons kit box arrive, however i already started early.

here a bunch of SM scouts, converted with some leftover bits to have nemisis boltguns.






Well, i will get another 5 scouts, i got a SM commando squad for commando squad purposes and some more bits, a squad of sternguard, to become headhunters which will require some more conversion including scaling and from there i am going to drift arround for what i need.

Story of these is scouring era AL, and one of the praetors for the army will be an old (young) iteration of one of my CSM warlords

And scales, done.
Kinda






all that remains to do is using my scalpell to cut off excess at a later date..

quite happy that i realised my scalpell has scale like grips

Well. I guess training makes the master, full command for the first tactical squad.



Tommorow when propperly hardened clean up time, to avoid my fat fingers to feth up the scales....

alas, bayonetts are obligatory for legio imo, if only to poke some holes in loyalists, which have no scales.

" Was there , done this and that, not much to tell you, beyond that i've seen it all." A familiar face.

So, beeing back from vacation and consequently now freezing i decided to convert the first headhunters and another tactical squad for holding something.

Great updates Not Online! I really like the GS scales, neat little way of using the scalpel I'm a big fan of the converted scout guns, very Orky.

my first army was orks, i will always remain a ork mek at heart

Many thanks.

IoN:

Saboteur, your friendly neighbour... wait no, actually your tank just blew up.




Yes he has a scale cloak... don't ask how long it took me... if you do the only answer is obviously " i am alpharius".

Vigilator, basically just an Feth thine squadleaders / special weapon / HQ last hitpoint.




Yes he has a full scale torso, yes that was a primaris boltgun, yes this is orky.

one of the most interesting things to me is, converting things out of basic marines and starter / big boxes.

In this case i decided to create a cataphractii primus medicae and a command squad.





Anyways, i think the old familiar face will be very very tough. Afterall that is his squad

The space marines are looking good too.

Really nice conversions, really digging the cloak.

For the ammount of time it better be very nice

anyways, this time just a normal cataphractii squad and a apothecarii which will be babysitting my support weapons squads.


Since they are just normal cataphractii they only get one scale shoulderpad.

Another tac squad, the last one, that can also stand in with the meltas as a veteran squad, since i sofar lack some decent AT:

Well i magnetised all i wanted,

Great looking alpha legion! I like the scales on the various armor sections. Do you know what way you will be painting them?

As easy as possible in the classical 30k Legion sheme, probably with a light green tint on the scales.

I do like the Kans Not Online!!!

Cheers,

Many thanks, they turned out well.
Still got 3 more to do.




Anyways here is the first support squad with all rotors and the spartan with Väterchen Rust just for size sake.... its feth huge.

And done, all the models i currently can finish finished.

behold, the tactical support volkite calvier squad.

bit wierd that the heavy version pays for the better version of the gun half the price, but i guess if you really want to you could always run 3 heavy supports and 4 supports for a maximum of volkite... no idea if that would work, but it 'd be certainly bit hillarious.

So i had the last axe, not so awesome praetor form the starter still laying around and thought, why not make another mini HQ. Anyways since those lads toyed around with things they shouldn't they were a bit more corrupted, so why not kitbash a bit.






So i gave him some scales, a normal horned helmet, combined the terminator psy staff with an icon from the CSM kit, created a power sacrificial dagger for very safe and clearly not dangerous at all rituals.

Anyways, i guess since my rhinos still aren't here, the same with my wargames atlantic bulldogs for my initially planed summer project, i think i will start painting soonish.

how I feel about a lot of my projects as well.

Great updates, I like the more Chaosy looking marine. Some nice little conversions. I really like those backpack bits and bobs, are they from the HH kit or from somewhere else?

Normal HH equipment.

The antenaa is a nuncio vox and the "banner" is a vexilia. Both usefull tools for 10 pts. There's also an augurium scanner. I run full equipment akak Vexilia, Nuncio vox and augurium scanners. Because being prepared is just something i reckon alpha legion does.




Anyways here are my Ultramarines.

Anyways, some shading and then basing and some cleanup and Insignia for squads and i am done.




Also, all the models are layered now and i finally got my two rhinos in ordered..

Bobby G's boys are looking good.

Alpharius?

Great work cranking out these boys, their scheme is made for contrast over metallics. What’s your plan for basing? Lots of blood and gore or clean and sneaky?

Aye they are.

I have no idea, considering i own a to be made desert table probably sanding, maybee with a bit more other things on the bases like wire etc.

Anyways bit of an upgrade, decided to give them red crests and did the black bits on all the models.


Also a certain person got his paint on


Also, my rhinos are ready for the blue aswell.

As an aside, HH2.0 rhinos are actually pretty good for tank hunting. Tape a Multi melta on top of one and you get a 65 pts danger that can carry a squad, be a roadblock and support your infantry, or staple a Havoc launcher on top because it is a havoc launcher and you got a Spartan and dreadnought to tank bully.

Beakies are looking good Not Online!!!

Always have preferred that later heads, must be the Rogue Trader cover art that still stands out for me as what Marines should look like.

Cheers,

CB

Coming along well I see. Dig the metallic blue paint. And the sorce......Librarian! Is he a normal Librarian? Or an Esoterist?

Well, i reckon he will bei both, probably more esoterist, afterall i got some daemons left over that need to be fielded, and hybrids.

Anyways. More progress:
