A while ago I posted pictures of this banner, but honestly the old photos absolutely butchered the colors, so here it is again, closer to how it actually looks in person. I hope you people don't mind.

Hand-embroidered, edged with emeralds and pearls (among other goodies)

The cord is handmade kumihimo.

I went into the carving part knowing approximately nothing about... well, carving, which predictably ended with blood sacrifice + fainting.

Still worth it.

Still needing to do the Hydra at the top of the shoulder, but I'm liking it more now. Apologies about crappy background :p

Edit:
I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOKCGWpPt0

except I'm not as good at wet blending as he is, so I used 5 colors instead of 3.

My colors were (from purple to green):
Violeta (Vellejo Model Color)
Macragge Blue (Citadel)
Abyssal Blue (Warpaints fanatic)
Ahriman Blue (Citadel)
Emerald (Vallejo Model Color)

and Light Emerald (Vallejo Model Color) for edge highlights on green parts
and experimenting with Megenta Profundo (Vallejo Model Color) for edge highlights on purples

Hello battle brothers and sisters, my hobby group is preparing for 11th with a fun home objective hobby challenge. Basically all of my group members are all making one 7”x11.5” terrain piece out of arts and crafts themed around our own specific army. I’m having a hard time thinking of one that could be Alpha Legion specific and would love any help or ideas you all would be willing to provide. Thank you for any ideas, and Hydra Dominatus!

Improvement to my chaos rhino using the deimos vox upgrade kit

Just finished the third of some new recruits for my small ‘secretly loyal’ (inspired by Occam and the Redacted) warband. Got some more yet to make.

I call them the familiar faces- they’ve ‘borrowed’ faces on their infiltration missions. Because you never get stabbed in the back by a stranger!

On the left is Sidonus from the first Space Marine game (no reason for the lascannon except I wanted one.)

In the middle is Obi-Wan Kenobi.

And on the right is John Wick. Made a pencil out of green stuff but it kept falling off. Maybe I’ll have one at his feet with blood on it!

“Hydra Dominatus.”

Brothers and sisters of the Imperium and beyond, the time has come The Alpha Legion Network is opening its channels to new operatives - whether you’re newly awakened to the XX Legion’s truth or a seasoned infiltrator with years of covert practice. In our ranks, every brother is a weapon, every word a blade, and every act a step toward victory.

What the Network Offers:

Operational Coordination: Space Marine 2\* team deployments, theorycrafting, and strategy.

Lore & Cipherwork: Deep dives into XX Legion history, hidden meanings, and twisted truths.

Challenges & Accolades: Tactical tests, narrative ops, and recognition from Hydra Command.

Community: A collective of lorekeepers, tacticians, and schemers, united by secrecy, unified in purpose.

Unrestrictive Uniform Protocol: Operate in your own way. Blend in. Adapt. The Hydra has many heads.

Feedback & Development We are ever-evolving. Every suggestion, critique, or idea you offer will be considered and appreciated. Perfection is a lie.

We are seeking initiates who can:

Operate independently and without recognition.

Understand that victory is not always visible but always inevitable.

Trust no one. (Especially those recruiting you)

The XXth Legion now allows advancement into newly established Specialised Ranks, allowing operatives to pursue distinct paths within the Legion such as Lernaean Terminators and Techmarines.

"We must be ready for any role required of us. We are the Emperor’s ultimate fail-safe, and we must prove to Him that this is the case"

Thanks James and Black Library for finally coming through on the hints and rumor engine!..😏

Hydra Dominatus?

As much as I like the aesthetic of the Red Corsair Raiders, I didn’t think it matched the Alpha Legion well. However, I loved the idea of having a unit with infiltrate without having to use the Deceptors detachment. I wanted to have the unit look like they infiltrated the enemy to have the infiltrate rule! How does everyone think I did? Hydra Dominatus!

Ok, hear me out. An alpha legion berserker!

But I'm curious, what do you guys think is the most inappropriate chaos unit the alpha legion can use!🤣 I've always had a veil that the alpha legion dislike chaos and it's strange gifts

Finished my Alpha legion Daemon Prince I think he turned out pretty well, might be my best paint in the army so far
