This past week I been very busy, not only with the last commission works but taking attention to the ebay sales in a continuous travel to the postal office and reforming my studio. As, for now, I have nothing new to show, I've decided to rescue this old figures from the vault of the forgotten color schemes.
In the old book "
Realm of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness" there was an illustrated page dedicated to
Slaanesh in the 40th millennium. And attached to the weird color schemes of this eccentric chaos god appeared some
Iron Warriors and
Alpha Legion icons that showed an scheme of color very different of the ones shown in later editions.
The green (with red details) was the main color of this Alpha Legionaries
and,although not recognised, between the slaanesh legionaries we can
find some examples of this.
And now, allow me to introduce the Guubulush Squad of the Alpha Legion. A gang slighty converted to give personality at each member. The horns of three legionaries were removed and later glued in different positions so now all of them looks different. The legs and torso of one guy were turned and now seems that he is advancing through the battle field.
This is my Space Crusade Chaos Legionaries squad of the Alpha Legion. It's under command of the Lord Sergeant Guubulush. The veteran sergeant it's equipped with an standard heavy bolter and the "demonic" faces of his armor has been painted in yellow to contrast with the red and green.

The right shoulder pads were painted in a code that indicates the legionnaire number in the squad.
Left shoulder pads shown several variations on the Alpha Legion icon.
