Chaos Alpha Legion are coming in Faith & Fury so why not take a look back at this amazing army display from White Metal Games.
This showcase might be full of Horus Heresy models, however, it’s still worth the hype for the Alpha Legion in 40k! They notoriously for stealth and trickery.
This tome will see the Psychic Awakening’s effects begin to take hold in the Imperium, as the Emperor’s most faithful warriors go head to head with the Heretic Astartes. What’s more, the book will include codex supplement-tier content for the Black Templars, Night Lords, Alpha Legion, World Eaters, Emperor’s Children, Iron Warriors and Word Bearers.
To hype up the return of the Alpha Legion, here’s a look back at an amazing White Metal Games showcase! It looks like they decided to strike back and not keep anything out of sight.
The Alpha Legion Lashes Back
It seems Alpharius had some kind of secret hideout on a water world after all. There are old sandstone ruins of a Hydra lair scatted about the diorama and even an Anti-air buoy to keep the “undesirables” away.
A metric ton of resin was harmed in the making of this diorama. In all reality, the blue water effect mixed with the rich color of the Alpha Legion’s armor just makes everything pop.
A lone squad of Rocket carriers is standing at the front door ready to greet someone with a hail of Krak missiles.
Check out the close-up detail of the Rhino. Have you ever seen scaling on a tank like that? It’s even on the radar panel! It’s above and beyond detail like that which brings an army to the next level.
While there are a few guys at sea-level, a Contemptor and his Lascannon-wielding buddies are keeping an eye out from above. Oh and don’t miss the sniper that’s been watching you approach for miles already.
Even though they’re at a desolate hideout, there’s still a Knight chilling up top. It makes you think the Alpha Legion wasn’t trying to be too secretive about things after all.
With the most important Alpha Legionnaire on the field (Alpharius), you better believe he’s coming with his entourage. The glow effect on their power weapon really brings the models to life.
And last but not least, there’s a Land Speeder flanking around the side to top everything off. Bet you didn’t expect a Heavy Bolter to strafe by at high speed! 
The amount of time and hard work that went into this diorama and its models is astonishing. Only a die-hard Alpha Legion fan is worthy of taking something like this to an event! Another fantastic job by the White Metal Games crew.
What kind of rules do you think the Alpha Legion will get in Psychic Awakening? Will they get a new specific unit? Have you made a display board for your Legion?
