Alpha Legion Recon Land Speeders

I am super pumped to get these on the board and shot out of the air by boltguns!

Alternative Pre Heresy Alpha Legion Color Schemes

Oh hey there! I've just finished doing a couple things in some of my alternative Pre Heresy Alpha Legion color schemes. I wanted to mix it up a bit for this army, as I'm getting up towards 130 infantry models, and I wanted to keep it interesting for myself. I've got two alternate schemes.

One is based on the Astral Claws theme. I've always loved it, but never wanted to start a new army for them. I figure for my force, the Iron Scales are a division of honor guards and specialists that get called in to help with high value campaigns. It is an honor for them to be sent to re-enforce a campaign, and Harrow Masters will go to great lengths to secure their services.

The other is a reference to my love of the old crazy Rogue Trader color schemes. I love goofy colored camo on space marines, and I couldn't help but paint up  my recon force in my tiger stripes! I have two speeders to do, this photo only has the first test portion done.

New Alpha Legion Saboteur! Recon Rite of War underway!

So, I've decided I'm going to build up the recon portion of my Alpha Legion army, aiming to use them both for the Recon Rite of War, and the Hunter-Killer Traitor Shattered Legion Rite of War. I will also be using them heavily in Kill Team and Tactical Strike games. They're all going to have the same black and turquoise tiger stripe camo that I used on my previous sniper recon marines:

So, here's the first couple guys. I have two bolter recon guys and a new Saboteur. I've always loved using a Saboteur, but the model I built for it previously was done really fast. I will still use it, but I wanted a new one with a combi weapon, and lookin' a little more mean. So, here's the new version. Since the photo, I've given him a small helmet crest.

Salamander Pyroclasts

Well, I said they were up next, and here they are: my first five Salamander Pyroclasts. These models are super dense with details, so I tried to keep the color scheme as bare-bones as possible. I've got 5 more of these dudes to paint, and then my 2,000 point list will be complete! These dudes have been brutal in the zone mortalis and tactical strike games I've used them in.

Salamander Contemptor done!

...for now.
My second contemptor for my Salamanders is all set. Like the rest of this army, I'll be going back and adding decals and some more weathering once I actually get the decals. I had planned to pick them up at Adepticon this year, but they didn't bring any. Of course, instead of filling out the order sheet for them, I spent that cash-money on Arena Rex models.
Anyway, here's my dude! Pictured with my other Salamander contemptor.

Pre Heresy Alpha Legion Mor Deythan (Rewards of Treason!)

It's been a while since I've updated the Alpha Legion army, but here's a unit I just blasted out!

I'll be using them in my Coils of the Hydra lists as Mor Deythan. I'll be using them as Headhunters from time to time, and I'll also be using them in my Shattered Legion army lists with my Salamanders.
