I'd put you on ignore for that comment, if I could...Alpharius 2/11/14
Much has happened in those few months, but since the last comments were on my engagement, I haven't really felt like coming around lately. Indeed, I have cancelled my engagement, as I have met another woman where I'm now stationed... Long story short, I quit my 11-year-old story to start a new one, and I'm now with Audrey, a wonderful woman who's also the loving mother of two adorable kids, Gautier, 5, and Estelle, 7. As you can imagine, not all went smoothly, so I didn't really have any time left for the Hobby !! But it's all (almost) settled now, so I hope to get back into painting soon !
So now I have to get "back in the saddle" with another project, and what's got to my attention lately is... Blood Angels ! Tadaaa !
Wish me luck on those new ones !!! I will, FOR ONCE, try the REGULAR, OFFICIAL paintscheme... Yeah, incredible, uh ?!?

I'm actually interested to see how you take on a normal scheme. I don't know if I should express sympathy or congratulations on your current non-hobby status. I suppose both?

I am really surprised you are not going for a successor chapter, to be perfectly honest I was burnt out on BA until I saw the new successor from WD. BA got me into the hobby, I can't wait to see your take on it.

So nice to get such kind words, after being back for so long... I'm humbled
As for RL, well that's BOTH a blessing and a curse, of course !!!
As for BAs, well... At first I had though about returning to the Achlysian Reavers, but they were a bit tedious to paint...
Plus I haven't practiced red a lot in my Hobby life, so hey !
Only a few squads in the whole project uh... I'm not ready to take on another 3000-point army !!!
As for now I'm thinking about :
- Terminator Librarian (new shiny model) with Assault Terminators retinue (new shiny models), maybe in a Stormraven gunship (to be confirmed) ;
- Sanguinary Priest (new shiiiiny modellllll ) with a yet-undetermined retinue - Command Squad with JP ? / Sternguard Vets ? / Death Company ?, maybe in a Razorback or Drop Pod ;
- A Tactical squad (new shiny models), just because... Did I mention they had some lovely, new, shiny models for those ?, maybe in a Drop Pod or Rhino ;
- A Baal-pattern Predator (old, but shiny models)...
I'm not aiming at a tournament-grade army, just having some fun with the latest, great models they released... Plus, I've always wanted a Predator Baal to begin with
Thanks again for the kind words, if it feels good to feel... home ?

Welcome back Yggs! I am extremely excited to see how you whip up some Blood Angels. I am a bit sad you wont be doing any more reavers though. They had a truly unique scheme that I really enjoyed.
Congrats on the RL situation. Taking the rocky road to get to a better place is always worth it, as long as the road destroys your ride in the process. It sounds like you made it and picked up some hitchhikers!
Good to see you back buddy. I know from general fb chat that it's been an up and down few months for you, but great to see you've got your priorities in order
