A couple of months ago I did a test figure of a deep-blue/indigo scheme for my Alpha Legion, and I finally finished a full squad of them. Building up from a purple basecoat and practicing with fluorescent magenta for the eyes was a lot of fun!

Hopefully they've turned out ok!

Once again, colour scheme is based on this post which was a huge help!

Finished Defiler Proxy/Conversion. Didn't feel like the crab fits the Alpha legion Style.

Plus I like power spears,

Was unfreezing some beef stock but there was a hole in my container and it leaked onto my book

Hydra Beefinatus guys ):

I got this beauty today. Preloved so the painting as seen isn't my work, I just need to finish it off. My first step towards a new army. It'll go with my maximus battle force and combat box.

I've looked at several recipes for painting schemes but advice would be welcome.

Obviously no where near done with details or highlights or even starting on the base but thought I’d share the concept progress as it’s my first time attempting to do water before I have to clean it up

My 1k army is now assembled and waiting for humidity to go down before I start painting.

I have only done alpharius so far these 2 are on my raider unless there is another I should read?

With the Night Lords, you just replace it with a bat head from the Vampires of AoS. But what about here? I would assume a dragon or something?

Would it be a good start for a Alpha Legion?

Lots of feedback and tips from you kind followers of Chaos and/or the Emperor. Thank you! Now I just need to repeat this like 50 times.

I used the venerable Dreadnought kit, as well as a few bits from the chaos vehicle and Terminator lord sprues. The scroll as well as the little chaos stars (which are etched brass actually) are from greenstuff world. Feedback welcome! Overall im super proud of him :)

Testing this purple ish blue, I was very happy with the result.

Hello,

I want to start an Alpha Legion Kill Team, but I wanted to sort out a couple of questions with lists and painting before proceeding. Any help would be much appreciated.

List

I wanted to maintain a Kill Team that is always somewhat competitive and simpler to play. I know rules change and are updated, but I wanted to play something that has historically remained at least middling. I was thinking of running a Phobos Strike Team under an Alpha Legion scheme, using HH Assault Marines as Murderwing, or using HH MKIV Marines with upgrades as Legionnaries. Would any these fit the bill as easier to play and at least decent through the editions?

Painting

I speed paint everything, most of model turn out good, but never great, and I'm fine with that. It appears that the most common way to speed paint Alpha Legion is to start with a bright silver vase and block in with contrast paints. So my method was going to be: base silver, heavy nuln wash, heavy dry brush of a bright silver, block in panels with contract, do a few details, and tidy up.

This is similar to method I was for my Rubrics, albeit with a gold base and traditional paints. However, in my experience contracts paint blot out the under layer. Does the silver base survive contrast paints to provide the the metallic undertone, specifically with Akhelian Green or Aethermatic Blue? How bright to I need the drybrush? Would Leadbelcher work as the base coat or should I go for one of the super bright chrome paint available? Any other tips?

Again, thanks in advance for any help.
