Well I began this little side project from all my other IG projects when the new FW Renegades came out. I thought they were some of the coolest models FW has done in a while. Not to mention easier to build then Elysians! Heh! I bought a few bodies and since I had tons of plastic cadian bits I began working on this from time to time last year. I wasn't looking to make a true chaosy force like Nurgle or Tzeench. I also liked the whole fluff of the Alpha Legion, and I have always wanted to do an AL Force. So this got the cogs working...and I committed to making an IG Codex Force that works with AL. I thought about doing LatD first then IAV5 came out and I wasn't too excited about either list, so I just made my own mix of docs from codex IG. Recently I've gotten more involved in finishing the army....so here is a small log of the project, which will be in 2 phases...Phase 1 will be the Renegades...and Phase 2 will be the CSM AL force. In between I will mix and match forces that don't fit in both list, for Apocalypse or large points games. Enjoy the photos..I will post more in the future...
First Group of renegades....
First Group finished with gear...
The store I got my FW stuff was short on renegades for a few months, so I started work on the armor part of the army. This tank I initially got off EBay and it was in bad shape. I repainted it and added a few chaos logs here and there from the Brass Etched stuff. Who ever built this made sure all but 1 of the sponsons and the turret never moved...as they are All Glued....I still have to give it a dozer blade and some little pieces here and there to make it more evil
Group Pic of the armor done and the troops I have been able to finish. These are all based now since this pic is from a few months ago.
Now for the CSM side of the project....This is my current pile of amassed chaosness. The blue marines were my first try at making Alpha Legion marines. I'm still working on them but have repainted them with Necron Abyss foundation paint, since I used that on the Hellblades and it looks close to the old blue used for AL.
My Hellblades, I got these babies last fall, and thought they would make good additions to an Apocalypse force. This month I began building them and painting them. They are simple models to assemble, and some of the coolest fighters FW has put out. I just finished one a few weeks ago, and I now have a base to mount them on. So I will have pics of that soon I hope. I couldn't help making them Cylons, the pilot models are perfect for that!
Well that's it for now...right now I'm almost finished with 9 more renegades since I recently score 50 more bodies....2 LR Exterminators for the force....I'm thinking of building/painting 2 AL Chaos Dreads for next month....I got a Malcador waiting for assembly since GamesDay last year....More coming soon!
New Addtions....My converted Rocket Launcher troopers
Troops from the Command Platoon HQ Squad
