Path of the Traitor count down
In just 3 days the Great Crusade team will be congregating at Warhammer World for a weekend of pre-Heresy gaming, both themed and freeform.
From The Path of the Traitor announcement:
You are all encouraged to bring your work-in-progress AOTE armies and play with the lists and rules you intend to use for the event in May - consider this a good chance to try out those new units and combos beforehand.
Painting Space Marine Legions – Alpha Legion – part b
Continuing from part A, this article concludes the guide for painting pre-Heresy Alpha Legion marines.
The model used for this tutorial was built in a previous tutorial:
Mark V power armour: Part A | Part B.
One of the risks of using PVA glue to create studs is that they can be easily rubbed off when handling the model. Inevitably some of the studs did rub off this model whislt painting, leaving some areas looking a little strange. A quick an easy way to resolve this, which also helps contribute to weathering the model, is to drill small holes where the studs should be. In the picture belows, I've drilled a hole in the helmet and shoulder pad where studs were rubbed off.
Painting Space Marine Legions – Alpha Legion
The model used for this tutorial was built in a previous tutorial - Mark V power armour: Part A | Part B.
Alpha Legion, unsurprisingly, have very little pre-heresy artwork. True to their nature, they are a very secretive Legion andseem to be camera shy. From the artwork we do have, they seem to be predominantly in mark IV and V power armour. Being the last legion to be established, it makes sense that they don't have access to earlier marks of armour.
Dark Mechanicus project – Chimera and StuG
Fresh from the forge, I've painted up a customised Chimera to fit with the StuG shown previously. The dark red will be repeated across the tanks to help keep the army looking uniform on the battlefield as there's going to be plenty of unique traits to each individual vehicle.
The obvious difference to the model is the exposed tracks, which I'm drawing inspiration from World War I vehicles (though most real world tanks are like this!). I've reconstructed the top of the vehicle a little to put the turret towards the back of the vehicle and drop those ugly lasgun portholes.
Dark Mechanicus project – The StuG!
Deadlines are fast approaching - the Age of the Emperor campaign is less than 80 days away and my army is in serious need of attention. Typically, I chose to start a new army from scratch and in this case, one that requires a lot more custom work than most - Dark Mechanicus.
Combining several aspects of the 40k (30k!) background, this force will be an amalgamation of Adeptus mechanicus, daemons, robots and heretics. As such, I am looking to make almost every model unique.
