Eggroll, have you taken this beautiful army out for a spin around the game tables yet?

Very glad you are posting again! Great work, all of it! I really like the woobies the bikers have on the back of their bikes, never know when I BA Space Marine needs a nap. I have "woobies" pinned up on my BA's kit too. Woobie is an Infatnry term for the poncho liner we carried to sleep in.
New projects with the army?

Great to see this coming back

Thanks guys! It's great to be back and painting my army again. Looking to get through a whole backlog of models including fliers, special units, HQs, all the old masters of the chapter, captains and latest releases.

I can't recall if you've mentioned it before, but do you pre-shade the red or spray a darker tone afterwards? Specifically looking around all the cracks and crevasses you've made darker.

I don't do preshading as I don't think it's as flexible. I do the shading as a 2nd step after I put down my red coloured primer.

Not yet, all these guys are just sitting in my display cases. Not sure if I ever will try playing the game. Just can't seem to find the time these days and I enjoy painting much more.
Never knew they're called woobies but it's good to know I think all my scouts are slackers since they all have them...just went back to my display case to check . Even my latest sniper scouts have them. Ha! It's completely unintentional though...I just realized my scout biker has one on his back and one on his bike as well! Good times!

I have the storm talon, storm raven and FW storm eagle. They're all in various stages of assembly...will get to them eventually...

Here's a preview of what's up next...

Just when I thought it was okay to go back into P&M, Eggroll shows back up

Excellent work as always man!

Simply the best Blood Angels. Welcome back Eggroll, love the LR!

Really excited to see what you do with the LS Storm.

I for one do not welcome you back on account of making me feel guilty I haven't done squat for a similar period

Nice to see you back in the swing of things, Egg!

And please goad people like Tom and I to get back to painting!

Nice to see new things happening here. Very nice painting.

One hell of a comeback! Love the LR, and as I haven't commented on this thread before the hiatus (although I was following it) I'm a huge fan of everything in it. This is a truly inspirational collection.

Best BA i've seen. Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Ha! Thanks Tom. How are your BA and necrons or did you sell them out for the "other" (star wars) sci fi universe?

Lol no I still have all my stuff. In general haven't done a whole lot of anything on anything in quite some time. I am not sure what to do with the BA... part of me wants to pick at them but another is kinda just generally off GW.

Want to buy a smack-ton of FW BA stuff and conversions?? Lol!

I already have years worth of SM to paint and in my hiatus from painting, I've started to collect orks, CSM, and DE. I shouldn't do this but what exactly do you have in your BA collection that you're looking to sell?

HE RETURNS, AS THE SCROLLS FORTOLD
Good to have you back, Eggroll, The tanks are looking flash as ever, keen to see the end result on those scouts!

Update time...finally finished off the sniper scouts. I think they're my best work to date and I'm really happy with the way these guys have turned out:

I gotta be honest, I think they don't meet the level of your others at all.

Just kidding.

Here are the new guys:

Nice!! Funny I didn't think it was April fool's... You got me with that one!

-_-

Good lord. This had me laughing.

Scouts look great Egg!

lol I was going noo that cant really be Egg's scouts some things gone terribly wrong.

The new versions are a vast improvement

Haha, great stuff.

*rimshot*

Nicely played egg. The real scouts look great!

My first thought was, "Eggroll be trollin" or they're secretly the workings of a 5yr old offspring he's been hiding from us, etc...

Thanks everyone!

Lol! Actually those scouts are the very first models I painted up almost 5 years ago. Dug them out after I finished the most recent ones as I thought it would be a nice way to compare and contrast my progress.

I really did think they looked awesome when I first did them . I still remember walking into the GW store that first day and walking out with chaos black primer, box of sniper scouts and the hobby tools starter set

You've come a long way in 5 years.
Good job. I like the cloaks.

For your first models they're actually pretty good. Also great work on the faces and armour.

Oh you. - .-
