With 2025 coming to an end and the completion of my Dark Angels, I have decided to refresh my Alpha Legion.
Unlike my old minis I wanted a metallic finish to the blue/ green power of the sneakiest legion of them all.
First up was a squad of Legionnaires built with a fairly standard mix of bolters, chainswords, melta gun and heavy bolter.
All the minis were undercoated with this great chrome paint I purchased from my local hobby store.
The recipe for the blue/green power armour is below. The gw kroxigor scales had a little Vallejo medium added and gave me the finish I wanted.
The silver trim of the power armour followed a similar approach using the following.
For a bit of extra colour the fabric was painted in red using the below.
Similar to my older bros I wanted the cables and tentacles to be a mix of greens. Painting both these ways was my attempt to show that despite being the most “loyal” marines, their time on the run has seen a steady merging of weapons and armour.
The bases also had this mix of paint to represent fighting in a polluted world.
The paint scheme was a bit of research and trial and error but came out exactly as I wanted.
Hydra dominatus.
Very cool
