Alpha Legion Champions

In the last edition of Horus Heresy I toyed with the idea of having two Champions in a list for my Alpha Legion. playing the whole duality of Alpharius-Omegon in a mini format. One Champion is right handed and the other one left handed.
I got two large Eldar swords that I think was from some Wraith Guards to represent their paragon blades. The plan was to have two Recon squads, each riding in a Storm Eagle with a Champion to give them a punch.
That idea never materialized but I never dropped it, kept it back in my mind.

So with the new edition I thought it was time to start working towards this idea.
I ended up giving each Champion Tartaros Terminator armour because its the best looking armour in my opinion. I hope I didnt end up mess up my idea with them joining Recon marines by this, I dont know the rules good enough to know if I messed up here. But I think its no problem.
I changed the front of the torso armour to some Blood angles bits, to give then the whole ancient Greek muscle armour. I gave them specific Alpha Legion helmets and some shoulder pads from Scibor miniatures that had some Greek letters that Alpha Legion uses.

As I wanted the paragon blades as Xenos-tech I painted them "wrong", some kind of alien crystal blade. The colours is not the typical choice for this model, I wanted them to pop, to stand out, to make them draw the attention.











If there are some rule or mechanic I have missed that dont let me have them join a Recon squad I can allways have them accompany regular Terminators....

Alpha Legion Tartaros Terminators




With the Horus Heresy 2.0 edition new weapon options seems interesting for me.
So here are some more Tartaros pattern Terminators for my Alpha Legion to supplement the my collection.



First up we have the Power lance, or power spear. Its made by attaching with a metal pinning a bayonet from the mk VI power armour kit onto a spear from Fire forge games.

Next up is some dual power claw wielding dudes...


Here with a banner, vexilia. A power sword and a double power claw.




The new lot, picture taken with less sun glare then the above picture.







The Vexilia is from I think was old Dark Eldar bits. I think its part of a trumpet/ horn like musical instrument if I recall correctly.

I think his scaled shoulderpad was from Scibor Miniatures, a "not Salamander" bit.
