Alpha Legion Obliterators

 Some more heavy back up for my Alpha Legion are these mighty Obliterators.

These bros fit in well with the rest of my Alpha Legion as they are the ultimate mix of marine and war machine.

As usual painting followed my usual paint scheme trialled with my first unit of legionnaires. The only new approach was for the plasma weapons, ammo and feed which had a plasma red speed paint over a yellow undercoat.

I really like my tentacle green that makes the weapons look like my theme which is after 10 000 years of “loyalty”, the marine is becoming one with his armour and weapons.

More Alpha Legion transfers have been obtained so I made sure these bros have a suitable amount of legion insignia and where possible some chaos runes across larger panels. I am very happy with the “text” paragraph on the power fist on one of the bros.

After listening to the Long War Podcast talk about skin tone washes, I also added a watered down GW purple was across the recesses of the skin areas. This came out very well so will be tried for future skin tones.

I have my first game with a heap of my new Alpha Legion tomorrow where these bros will be deep striking to victory.
