Just phenomenal egg. The heat stress on that barrel looks so good. Lovely rich yellows as well. That biker proves you are the master of blood Angels, with such rich and dramatic contrast on the red!

Thanks San!

Posting some WIP shots of my six bikers for my SM intro list. Basically a lib conclave all with power axes and a grav bike squad. Still some details left to paint such as the lib heads and shoulder pad iconography but getting close. These guys were tough considering all the small details on every single model...

Nasty unit there. Nicely painted though.

Nicely done. Like how the metal pipes have a shine spot. Ah chrome!

Thanks Gits and SL!

Finished off the bikers tonight and took some snaps in the lightbox:

Excellent bikes Egg. Especially the jetbike on the previous page. WOW!

EDC

Those librarian bikes are some of the most beautiful models... the rich blues and reds... brilliant work my friend!

Smashing stuff!

Spot on! Agreed the blues really look amazing with your reds.

Nice to see BA after so long! Not that the Titan wasn't nice, but it wasn't really Eggroll without the space vamps.

Cheers whalemusic! The titan was a nice way to get back into it but yes, painting space vamps is what I do best

They look lovely, you've not lost your touch.

Beautiful paint jobs there matey ! The airbus work is top notch and great choice of colour contrasts!

You definitely do amazing work!

Great stuff man, and so fast too! They all look great but I love the angle and pose of the first guy with the graviton gun. So dynamic. So... What's next?

Thanks guys!

Thanks San. Up next are a bunch of dev and tac squads:

The Blood Angels are very dark but I like them a lot.

Lovely stuff, man. I am definitely building up a hunger to get painting again myself! Thanks for holding up such a consistently high standard (and dedication to the Angels of Baal) for the rest of us. I came in here to Dakka (where your thread is one of my "Exalted" ones so I can easily find it) seeking some inspiration, and that's just what I've found.

Thanks!

Thanks pantheralegionnaire - definitely appreciate the long time followers I've got a lot planned for my BA army, especially after starting up a dedicated blog now for them. I plan on expanding the force with 30k models and adding an ad mech component. Hope to give readers here plenty of more inspiration in the coming months.

Quick city update: been busy working on a dev and tac squad for a total of 20 guys. Most of the bodies are finished with the exception of some details. Just need to finish those off along with their heads and then it'll be onto the next guys...

Oh, so pretty

Looking good, can't wait to see them done! In terms of hours, any idea how long a 10-man squad like that would take you?

Your stuff looks so dynamic egg... I just can't get over it. Something for the rest of us to aspire to.

Very vibrant. You make it look easy.

Absolutely love that contrast you get with your reds... I think that just makes your scheme all the more gorgeous.

SL's right. You make this look easy!

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

I think from start to finish a single infantry model takes about 2 hours so for the 20 man squad that you see there will take about 40 hours in total.

Troops finally done.

First up are the normal tac marines:


Dev/Heavy Weapons:

Here are the all the models I've painted for my list so far...

Wow...just wow. Astounding BA army. It all looks amazing, excellent modelling and painting. What is your technique on the armour?

What amazing detail and crispness. Thanks for reminding that were mere mortals!

That's one of the most vibrant, visually spectacular collection of miniatures I've ever seen Egg. Wow.

Awesome stuff! Simply epic!
