amazing work! Truly brilliant servitors!

I cant even begin to compare to your skills.

Maybe I should look into an airbrush...

Best BA army I have ever cast my eyes over......simply fantastic...........the control you have with the airbrush is amazing and your lighting effects are the best I have ever seen as well.........keep up the good work......

RP if you achieved this level of airbrushing quality combined with your exceptional finishing quality as well you'd see your painting enter a whole different level. And that is something I would very much like to see...

Eggroll, fantastic quality as always sir. I feel the sevitors could have a lighter flesh, similar to the Raven Guard, very pale.

Everything you do is amazing!
Hahaha everyone's gota have the plasma-shy gunner eh?
You do some sick freehanding! Probably the best BA by far!

Thanks for all the comments guys, really appreciate it.

Thanks Lenny. When I did the servitors with just the standard flesh, it felt too pale. I figured the servitors being half machine would have more beaten up flesh given that they're half machine so I mixed in the blue and red hues.

Well after spending a good portion of this week painting, I finally got my techmarine done. This guy was a nightmare to paint with all the tubes, arms, and tiny little details. Finally got my whole squad finished.

This smilley sums me up pretty well right know.

Been busy this week working on a landraider. Managed to finish off most of it, just need to add some additional decorative bits from the ravenwing spru to the sides. Also started a 5 man jump assault squad and 5 man combat squad with beakie helms.

As always Eggroll. Stunning stuff.

Ok, wow that is some substantial progress for such a short space of time.

No OSL on the Techmarine's plasma torch thingy, Eggroll?

Really nice work - quick question, but how come the scrolls on your vehicles are being done in the same tones as the hull, as opposed to in a parchment look?

Thanks vent and lenny.

Nope, no OSL on the techmarine. I don't think he needs it and I've already spent enough time into the guy. If I put more paint on him, I'd feel obliged to do the other details I missed too and that's not something I want to get into.

The scrolls on the previous vehicles were done in red since I didn't really feel like picking them out or giving them names. Maybe one of these days once I have some names for them I'll go back and do them but for now they'll stay that way. I did however pick out the scroll in the land raider and wrote in "Blood Angels" on it. Sadly, I lack creativity in the naming department

We can make names for you! haha.
the models look great! Keep them coming!

Excellent Tech Marine. And very nice work on the LR. It looks a tiny bit glossy to me though.

Nice start on the Marines. Like the touch of the whole combat squad with the beakie helms.

Simply astounding work, definitely alot faster then my brush paint model by model, I think you've convinced me to look into buying an air brush, I already have the compressor for it.

Amazing stuff.

Landraider done and photoed. Couldn't get it to fit in my lightbox so the lighting isn't that great in the pics and a bit uneven. First picture is a better representation of the red while the other three have more of an "orange" hue. Also, it appears to be glossier in the photos because of the glare but the finish is more matte-satin in person.

Very nice. Seems significantly less shiny in the 2nd pic.

Hands down The BEST Blood Angels army I've seen done. Love what you have done so far. Consider me hooked.

Better than eavy' metals painting

not really comparable to 'eavy metal considering these are done with an airbrush while the 'eavy metal ones are not.
also, painting just red marines is relatively easy while the 'eavy metal daemon prince in white dwarf 368 is a true masterpiece that actually requires a high degree of skill

amazing land raider!

WOW!! Wow at your awesome Blood Angels!!

Thanks for the comments guys. Decided to build my first tank today. All the previous vehicles I've painted up to this point have all been bought off others so they came prebuilt. Since this is the first one I'm building, I decided to go all out with a Baal Pred with fully magnetized weapon options. In the end I ended up with 4 configs: Flamestorm Baal, Assault Cannon Baal, Assault Cannon Razorback and Rhino.

Took me a few hours today to figure out how to get everything magnetized properly. Ended up using as many metal plates in between pieces since I had a limited amount of magnets available. Still have some cleaning up to do on some mold lines left to do but all the pieces will hit the primer soon!

Dear Eggroll

Firstly you are my hero!
Secondly I hate your painting abilities.
Thirdly, I have the same display case as you, I recommend never moving it from where it was originally placed unless you want to take it apart fully. The case loses structural integrity once moved. atleast thats what I found with mine.

Now back to the models, damn, I can't even pick a favorite, there just all awesome. I'm going to follow this thread!

i do too

it moved fine for me, but then again, i did take it apart to move it

to the OP, love your work man, inspires me to paint again

@ Sanchez01- Yea I think my case might just be cursed. took it apart one time, and one of the glass panels got away from me and clocked the GF in the face...so damned if you do, damned if you don't. I have it sitting on a small rug so I can shuffle it around the floor...

Nice tidy painting mate. Cant wait to see how your latest work turns out.

Thanks sanchez and mrwezmond.

Yeah it's an ikea furniture piece so it's pretty much guaranteed to be unstable. I've disassembled and reassembled it a few times now for moving and it's held up reasonably well. Lucky for me I haven't clocked my gf with it yet. I'm running out of shelf space on mine and need to get a 2nd one soon!

Finished off my beakie combat squad I showed before. Had some bad luck doing this squad which included dropping one of them one the carpet right after spraying a fresh layer of gloss varnish. He ended up being covered in carpet fuzz which I had to pick out with tweezers afterwards. Also, my compressor decided to crap out on me (never buy a Campbell Hausfeld compressor). Specifically the air regulator decided to give out so I have no way of dialing in the proper air pressure. Looks like I'll either buy a new regulator adapter or a whole new setup. Anyway, here are the finished models:
