Alpha Legion: Background 4 - The Conceit of Trojha

Have you heard of the Bellus Trojhus? It is a conflict from a time of far off antiquity, but I believe we are the result of our sire’s inspiration upon hearing the tale of the Equus Trojhus that occurred during that time. The invading Greikans had laid siege against the walls of Trojha, the last fortified city in an otherwise conquered territory. The city was eventually taken when the Greikans found an outcast Trojhan willing to betray his people and told the Griekans how to bring about the fall of Trojha. A large wooden horse was left outside the gates of the city along with a willing Greikan sacrifice. The sacrifice told the Trojhans that he had in actuality escaped death as an offering, and the horse was left as a gift and concession of superiority. The Trojhans took the horse and sacrifice into the city to win favor with their gods, despite warnings from their priests that this sacrifice and the horse were a ruse. In the middle of the night, the Greikan soldiers that had hidden inside the hollow wooden statue killed the sentries and opened the gates of the city from the inside, allowing the rest of the Greikans to burn and pillage the city…

Alpha Legion: Models 3 - Magnets

Modeling can be a somewhat vague term when it comes to miniatures, but part of it for me is the consideration and implementation of practical miniature building techniques, especially when dealing with a game like Warhammer 40k. There are loads of weapons options and wargear options that even basic models can choose from. While at most tournaments the army list must remain static, of course, for casual games and for the sake of not having to buy new models each time I try using a different weapon or wargear option, I have magnetized nearly all of my Alpha Legion models so far.
