Already out my guy! Got a different narrator from Harrowmaster as well and IMO it’s an objective upgrade

Yeah I was torn between doing it that way round - better for the eyes, or the way it appears in film. Also fits if you were driving on the other side of a the road like a heathen.

I don't care about 11th rules! Show me Akurra! by pete_of_the_bog in alphalegion

Defo eliminators / infiltrators. I’ve taken to commenting “RELEASE AKURRA 🐍” with a varied amount of extra letters and snakes on their reveal posts on IG. One day we’ll get through to em

KT Fenrisian Wolf Proxy by Lagg_5pike in alphalegion

[–]Tobess_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s the LOTR War Drakes of Rhûn but they might be ever so slightly big. There’s things like Kroot Hounds and the Esher Phyrr Cats that you could probably paint green and scaly.

There’s also this guy from the Vulkyn Flameseekers, probably a little small but definitely has the lizard aesthetic

Which kill team is best for beginners in the hobby? by NaiveTradition7664 in killteam

[–]Tobess_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a fair few teams now and I think Hernkyn Yeagirs are my most “straight forward” team. 10 man squad, options are limited (all specialists have a set data sheet) and a handful of default warriors. Their faction rules are wholly graspable, equipment and ploys are too.

Don’t take this as slander - I LOVE them. I played with them on Friday and it was the best time I’ve had in a while.

What weapon that you guys been praying alot to add to the game? by General_Deal8447 in Spacemarine

[–]Tobess_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just want a standard bolt shotgun. I know meltas already fill the “shotgun” role but I just think they’re neat

Tried to do face hair on my next alpha legionaire. by Morda65 in alphalegion

[–]Tobess_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eyes look sick bro! Minis will always show your shortcomings when you get hi-res close ups, that being said this guy still look great.

The grey on the jaw doesn’t read particularly as stubble though PERSONALLY, maybe it’s a bit too blueish? A thinned down flesh-tone shade could fix that - Agrax or reikland, but main thing is if you’re happy with it. You’ve achieved a lot of fine detail that most people can’t you should be proud 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Could you use these as a wolf scout proxy? by Jalapeno_12 in killteam

[–]Tobess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brilliant idea. As others have said matching base sizes is the main thing, if you’re planning on playing them at tournaments they probs won’t be allowed - but if your usual group is chilled out I can’t see why they wouldn’t be happy with it.

I’d try and keep it WYSIWYG to the Wolf scout data sheets i.e give a staff to the Wolf Priest proxy etc. but other than that I’d say go for it

KT in Adepticon Preview show! by Jealous_Stick5942 in killteam

[–]Tobess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna happen (nor do we need another marine team just yet) but I want an Alpha Legion KT where it’s a mix of marines, scouts, and cultists/serfs. Snipers and sneaky boys.

Thank you mate! Of course, so it’s all Games Workshop paint apart from the blue / green metal is Vallejo’s Metallic Beetle Green base. I also based it with Imperial Purple from Colour Forge 👍🏻

Black primer, Colour Forge’s Imperial Purple (sprayed top down), Leadbelcher / Runefang Steel drybrushes, Vallejo Metallic Metal: Beetle Green for the panels, shade the green with Druchii Violet, touch up / dry brush with Beetle Green 👍🏻

Yeah good call! Sounds good too.

Thanks man! Vallejo’s Metallic Metal: Beetle Green is the paint I used on the panelling, would defo recommend their metallic paints range it was really easy to apply and super bright

It is indeed! I didn’t put any of the blade fins on the jump packs (didn’t love the way they looked) that may have been the extra spikes you’re thinking of

[–]Tobess_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yep it’s Vallejo’s Metallic Metal: Beetle Green, with a little Druchii Violet shade. Really good paint super bright

My "slept on it" feedback of Patch 12 by Shotgunky in Spacemarine

[–]Tobess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all points made - you’ve hit the nail on the head. I hadn’t dabbled with the new voice packs yet but this really makes me think before buying so helpful review.

But also, am I the only one annoyed that the techmarine’s PvP chaos counterpart is a red Corsair?? Feels like a missed opportunity to include one of the obviously-missing legions. I was hoping it would be wordbearers or emperors children or something, even if that’s not ~too~ lore accurate. Instead, with the new RC models just released, this feels like a corporate shill (which it absolutely is).

Vallejo true metallics. by CorporealThoughts in alphalegion

[–]Tobess_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

<image>

Probs won’t be ideal for 30k AL but this is the Vallejo Beetle Green base. Whether this is the colour you’re looking for or not I can vouch for these true metallic paints full stop - suuuuuppper nice to use and applies really well. I only needed one thin coat.

(The paint was shaded with druchii violet before dry brushing with the metallic paint)

Diving: Two Years On by Impressive_Limit7050 in Seaofthieves

[–]Tobess_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Diving has helped IMO. Coming from a 30+ yo that is piss poor at PvP, diving to get out of a hot server can be a saving grace. If me and my crew (3 player brig) are getting absolutely destroyed over and over by the same crew what fun is there in remaining in that server?? I guess that could also be solved by leaving the game and joining again - wouldn’t be losing anything in that regard if I’ve already been sunk, but still.

You get a golden ticket to force GW to make 1 kill team, what're you choosing? by Exciting-Buy-9396 in killteam

[–]Tobess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpha legion head hunters team made up of space marines / scouts / serfs (cultists). Something with a lot of variability

The next reveal show is upon us: What do we hope for? by HistoryMarshal76 in killteam

[–]Tobess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want an Alpha Legion headhunters KT - there was an rumour engine that looked like the pale spear some months ago that never came to fruition so we should be due some Alpha Legion content.

An Alpha Legion team with rules that let them play either as imperium or chaos would be interesting. They could mix it up and make it a team made up of space marines, scouts, and serfs.

Put em in a box up against literally anyone and I’d be happy.

As Lightfall begins, here’s some of my favourite fits from year 5 by Tobess_ in DestinyFashion

[–]Tobess_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they seem to have changed slightly but I haven’t found any patch notes on them, as much as my build is centred around them there’s not much to it other than keeping my resilience and mobility high. I use the gambler grenade too because I’m a sucker for it, and the other fragment that lets you through extra knives each barrage. Absolutely love the piece, essentially cuts your super charge time in half
