New project: Sword Bearers

Some time earlier I wrote about my thoughts, they were about starting my own space marine chapter. I was thinking about army which will include Dark Angels or Blood Angels miniatures. Then I decided to make some kind of a mixed army, which will consist of miniatures from both of these two chapters. They are going to be Blood Angels successors, but with Dark Angels bits and with their heraldy.

Why Blood angels successor? Because they can have got together usual marines and Death Company. Moreover, they can include Sanguinary Guard. Death Company have nice color combination, which I am fond of. Miniatures, which appeared in the last update of Blood Angles, are so awesome. Wings, heads, bodies, weapons, crosses, and packs they made. Furthermore, a lot of pretty commanders released in Blood Angels army in last update. 

And about color scheme. I chose purple color. I fall in love with this color when I tried it for the first time. This purple is deep and easy to cover. About other colors, I tried to paint them in Lamenters style, because they have beautiful scheme. So here is my test miniature, I tried to make scratches without metallics.

And here emblem of my future army. It was drawn by my girlfriend.

Alpha Legion: Agents (Part 4)

Another agent is ready. It is sergeant of the squad. I started him year ago, just when I had started my first three agents. That time he was headless and had not his right arm. But week ago, when I was painting plague marines, I found him and decided to finish.

Sword looks cheap. Firstly, I had an idea to paint it in dark green with highlights on its edges, but I failed. My highlights were not thin and straight. So I used remedy for nail polish remover to clear the sword. After that, there were a lot of little dots on the sword, so I have to paint that sword in metal to hide them. I don't know, what is that on his backpack in the middle, so I painted it as it was a battery, or something like that. And as for broken helmet on the ground. I tried to make lens, which does not shine.

Some more photos. I showed this guy earlier, but he was on empty base. Now he is fully ready. Further, I am going to paint plague marines squad.

Alpha Legion: Agents (Part 3)

As I promised in previous message here are photos of the half of second tactic squad from Alpha Legion. I didn't have much time to make photos before. And half of the squad still left.

I am going to finish this squad later because now I want to paint squad of Death Guard marines. I showed WIP photo of test model earlier. Here are photos of finished variant. It takes me several hours to paint him. So it is a real fast paint color scheme for me. But I still thinking about base. I want to make swamp but I don't know how to do it.
