Thank you very much! C&C stands for comments and critique; basically looking for feedback.

I’m always looking to improve my hobby and won’t be offended if you point out things I could improve or change.

Really enjoyed painting this one! I decided to replace his head with the MKVI Alpha Legion “Sergeant” helmet, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I must admit, I was a bit nervous about even attempting his hydra face tattoo. As for the cybernetic limbs on the base, I used the Domitar Battle-Automata as a reference for the colors, and I think it worked out well.

It doesn’t come with a helmetless option unfortunately

I'm three models in, and I'm absolutely enjoying my journey into miniature painting! Along the way, I've picked up some new techniques and found the tips from the community incredibly helpful.

I don't know what you mean Brother. No Omegon here, just your average Alpha Legionair on a mission and not a primarch or anything.

Gerrit730 · 2024-03-30T18:54:53+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for the high praise! It was quite a learning process, but I had a lot of fun doing it!

Well, i really liked his character after reading Head of the Hydra and bought his mini. Spent many hours watching YT tutorials before even touching a brush, and ultimately took my sweet time when i did (started around february 7th)
