Painting: Better Alpha Legion Biker Shots
Hey guys, So Ron from From the Warp wanted some more detailed shots of my Alpha Legion Bikers, so I figured I’d do a more in-depth post on them! The squads usually run in 1 group of 4, although I could drop it down to three and just give the Icon Bearer a Plasmagun. The Champion is magnetized, meaning he can wield his usual Power Sword, or a Power Fist, especially if my first CSM squad isn’t using theirs. There’s a little tone variation from the squad and the rest of the army. Its not too noticable. Also magnetized is the first Plasma Gunner. Sure Plasma’s good, especially with Relentless, but for a unit designed to get up close, I’d prefer Melta or even a Flamer sometimes! Plasma Gunner #2 isn’t magnetized, mainly because I can’t remember if his arm is one piece or the arm and the gun. I’m happy with the pose as well, gives him a sense of purpose with that gun! Lastly, the linchpin to the unit, the Icon Bearer. Little details galore! Script on his bike and the banner, little Hyrda symbols, the use of Scorpion Green for the bright colors. Everything flows with the unit. The squad is designed to be a fast moving Chaos Icon
