+++The Unbalanced Scales Redux: being an Accounting of the Various Depictions of the XX Legion Astartes from the beginning of the Great Crusade through to the end of the Horus Heresy, and also, a Compilation of those Events in which the Alpha Legion, Traitoris Perdita, have participated since the Scouring until the Present Day.+++

Never had this happen before. Pretty gutted. The paint began to crack in such a nightlordy way tho.

Had lots of fun doing this scheme so simple the white was a bit tricky just because there were so much masking I had to do

First one finished kitbashing. The gun looks oversized on camera but it's better in person. Shamelessly stole the idea of making havocs snipers from this person: https://www.reddit.com/r/alphalegion/s/RX0apMJICw (I got permission, I'm ChessSuperPro).

Excited to paint.

Struggling to make akhelian green work with this cause of the large panels. Anyone got suggestions?

Since they dont have a kill team

RIP to Horus Heresy Legions, started playing when Alpha Legion initially launched, sad to see it go.

Painting up some midhammer termies a friend of mine.

idk how accurate it was but I found a.pic of the "chaos rune alphabet". So I gave them "Alpha" Tramp stamps and hid some transfers on the bottom of the bolters.

If I ever play some midhammer against his black Legion I think I may just start rolling attacks with these two against his models, when he says you cant do that I'll reveal my sinister plot.

Also some Bonus Dark Furies for my 30K Alpha Legion, Rewards of Treachery is probably one of my favorite rules on all of Warhammer.

Hello, long time fan of sabotage and as it will soon be my 20th birthday and this is the 20th legion i thought i'd like a little alpha legion tatto. Please share your favourite insignias and versions of the 3 headed hydra. Thank you in advance.

Enjoyed painting my first Alpha Legion model. I like to think he was has previously infiltrated the world eaters so he knows how to get stuck in.

Please be Solomon

Hey, almost done with my first murderwing killteam minifig :)

Done (after basing, but I'll bulk do that when the dquad is done)

Leadbeachler base spray, runefang steal quick dry brush. Armor panels is terridon turquoise contrast, trim is heavy null oil accent only as of now.

Let me know if you have any tips or tricks, or any other constructive criticisms.

First two of many...

Greetings Alphariuses.

The game event with my club is done and it was really painfull. My list had zero punch yet manage to score points more or less consistently (even if the dices made it difficult).

First game i faced a deathguard army full vehicles with 1 defiler and tins of drones and mortar. I almost died to the man but manage a 12 to 8 loss. He played purge so it was forced to go and kill him and only manage to do so because he almost always exploded in his own line damaging the other vehicles (plus 1 or 2 detonators here and there as Alpharius intended)

Second game was against another chaos this time with 2 defilers... my average rolls w

This game where around 2 or 3 and the only real damage the defilers suffered where from his own failed dark pact. Lost 14 to 6.

Took me 3 and 3 dead units to kill 10 bloodletters... and 2 units and 2 turn to kill 5 red corsaire. That's the only 2 things I manage to kill. The rest of my points where secondary.

So my revised list is as follow:

(I removed the 2 predators because they didnt do anything, the 10 warptalon because they failed everything they had to do even with the stratgems and i remoded 30 cultist because 10 or 29 will die as easilly anyway). Added a defiler because I need some metachasing, 2 small knight because I need firepower and they get ignore cover when they shoot at objectives. The leftover points went into a Terminator Sorcerer for more reliable terminator (even if they failed me as well haha)

How do you think I should equip the defiler ? If I go full free warner I can slot a warpsmith in the list for some repair. If I go full pewpew I can't but get big dmg. What do you think ? Sorry foe the wall of text

Greetings Alpharians,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’m in the process of creating my Alpha Legion army for 40k and had a couple questions. For context, I’m basing my army off of Solomon Akurra’s Ghost Legion.

That being said, I’m planning to add Raptors and Warp Talons to my list so I can swap them out accordingly for opponents, thematics, etc.

The Raptors I plan to model as slightly corrupted Alpha Legionnaires, sort of a tainted warband but not tainted enough to warrant shunning from the Harrow, with a mix of Adeptus Astartes-passing models and models openly sporting the marks of Chaos.

My Warp Talons, however, I want to base off of the ones Roek Ghulclaw employs during the Battle of Sertra in the later chapters of Ghost Legion. Which leads me to my two questions:

1. Do you think these Warp Talons were affiliated with the Legion? A warp mutated cell of Alphas? Or perhaps mercenaries from a Raptor Cult bribed or manipulated into fighting on behalf of the AL?

I know Roek Ghulclaw and the Guns of Freedom are no strangers to the worship of chaos, so it made me question if these were some of his warband’s personal hitmen or an outside force they bargained with.

2.

1. Thematically speaking, would it fit more with the book and lore of the XXth to paint the Warp Talons as Hydra bois or maybe an independent Raptor Cult in Night Lord’s colors, or maybe just generic CSM baddie colors so as not to be affiliated with any particular “Legion”?

Maximum amount of copium

Finally got these guys finished. Really happy with how they came out.

Trying to get more perspective before I go on painting the rest of my Phobos/army in this scheme! I enjoy the teal/blue-grewn of AL more than silvery chaos trim, this is my loyalist successor/infiltration (hence Primaris). Used styrofoam + mod podge to add terrain height, Mordant Earth crackle paint.

I conceptually enjoy color depth/not monocolor, and tried making a ghost-green rim/bounce light effect but... any ideas on how I can elevate this model, push those/new ideas, customize/kitbash/emblems on the models, etc? And super open to C&C or seeing your army paint schemes for inspo!

I'm not a huge fan of the AL waterslide 3-headed snake image + its brand of green. Was thinking Ouroboros but I think that's taken?

I might plan to edge highlight, and my original concept had OSL from Alien Molten Lava (as if crossing back into the Mortal Realm from the Underworld River Styx). I had issues with base/model value separation so I crackled over it, see last image.

Experimenting on some Facebook market place rescues for my Alpha Legion scheme. They were already painted and I didn’t bother stripping, just repainted lead belcher and proceeded from there. So it’s a bit more gunked up than my newer models will be.

Next step is decals, satin varnish for the metallic candy blue armor to pop, detailed like bolter casing, glowing red eyes ect ect and base.

Idk… it’s not what I pictured so far, I’m 50/50. My dry brushing could be improved and my uninitiated wash kinda pooled up in areas like on the leg panels I didn’t want it to. What yall think?

My plan B is a non metallic blue scheme.
