New Harlequins!?!?!

Guys, click on the link!  Can you believe there is finally going to be a Harlequin stand alone army?  The rumors are true and I am so excited!

Alpha Legion Test Models

So I've been using the Dark Vengeance Dark Angels to try out the airbrush and figure out what scheme I like the most for Alpha Legion if that's what I decide to go for with my Forgeworld Horus Heresy stuff.  This is the first time I've ever panted without a base and I must say that it is really fun, much easier, and makes me feel way more legit because it's what I see on other people's blogs.  One of the hardest things to figure out about painting Alpha Legion is what color to paint them!  Pictures I've seen put them in dark blue, light blue, all shades of green, and even purple like the cover of the Legion book.

"Metallic Look"

These are three of the looks that I have been trying out.  Unfortunately I actually like them all I think but I have to pick just one right?  So, if anyone ever sees this I'd love to get your take on what you think is coolest or most accurate.  Another consideration is time.  Line highlighting sort of sucks and maybe the new airbrush will help me speed that up.  Not only that, but airbrush line highlighting will make the color modulation a lot better and a lot cleaner.

I posted these pictures on a facebook group and one person said they like the metallic one the best.  At first it wasn't my favorite but I'm actually starting to lean towards it.  It looks pretty cool, different, and changes based on how you look at it sort of like the Alpha Legion.  Anyway, we'll see which one I end up using if I don't go with Iron Warriors or Imperial Fists instead.
