The time is up! What's the verdict?

Did I finish everything?  No.  Did I change my lists around so that everything is painted?  Also, no.

I will be playing an unfinished (but partially painted) eEiryss and a primed Aiyana and Holt unit.

Everything else is completed.  Feeling pretty good about it, too.  Stormwall was an enormous task to finish, even with the base coats on it.  Black 13th are done now, too.  The Stormwall has made his way into my eCaine list as well, taking the place of the Nyss Hunters who will be painted shortly after the Crucible...and after I finish the last two members of my Alchemists Guild Ball team.

So overall, I finished 14 models in 8 days, give or take.  Could I have done more?  Sure, but not while having lots of fun doing other stuff in the process ;)

Major Victoria Haley
Captain Allister Caine
Stormwall
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (3 models)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holtscabbards, eff those things)
Rangers (Leader and 5 Grunts) 
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution - assembled!
Squire
Stormsmith Stormcaller

And now, off to the Crucible!

STORMWALL!

It is done!

[Picture goes here to make this not such a tease]

Also, I finished the other half of the Rangers and started the Black 13th.  Hopefully finishing those three and eEiryss tonight after some GuildBall!

Progress:
Major Victoria Haley
Captain Allister Caine
Stormwall
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (3 models)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt
Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (Cylena and 9 Grunts) (Bow-Nyss got quivers, sword-Nyss did not get scabbards, eff those things)
Rangers (Leader and 5 Grunts) 
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution - assembled!
Squire
Stormsmith Stormcaller

Odds are good that I'll be changing lists in such a way as to not need 10 Nyss Hunters...I don't have the time to get them done.  I might be able to finish the rest between tonight and tomorrow.  Maybe.  Either way, I'm already stoked about getting so much done!

2015 Painting Wrap-up

Another year in the books, and I've actually done some painting this year!  I've started a few new armies, Neverborn in Malifaux and Cygnar in War Machine.

Points painted by faction, start of 2015 vs. start of 2016:

1/31/2015 1/4/2016        % Painted
Skorne 30 30 9.62%
Legion 53 53 37.86%
Circle 4 4 3.54%
Trollbloods 0 0 0.00%
Minions 15 16 12.12%
Cryx 41.6 41.6 12.47%
Cygnar 0 112 41.18%
Mercenaries 41 44 15.66%
Convergence                      0 0 0.00%
WM/H Totals: 184.6 300.6 18.17%
0
Arcanists 0 0 0.00%
Gremlins 20 20 40.00%
Guild 0 6 2.54%
Neverborn 0 97 26.65%
Outcasts 7 7 7.07%
Resurrectionists 25 34 10.93%
Ten Thunders 0 0 0.00%
Malifaux Totals: 52 164 13.30%
Total: 236.6 464.6 16.09%
[Pictures of minis painted this year to be added here at some point]

I've still got a shitload of models to paint, as noted by the horribly low percentages above...except for the factions I started this year.  Interesting to me, I've painted significantly more this year than any other year of my miniature painting career.  Now the goal is to keep on the same track (or even ramp up!) and keep painting!

Hobby goals:
Play fully painted at the Crucible 2016:  I'm playing my Cygnar at the event this year, and I'm going to play fully painted.  I made lots of progress on this army last year, but haven't finished anything since October.  Time to jump back in.  I've got to finish a colossal, at least one warcaster, some solos...oh, and I need to figure out exactly what I want to play. list-wise.  Lists to be figured out asap.  3 months to go for painting.  Watch this space for progress.  

Complete the TOMB3: I'm three months in, and still a bit behind on painting.  I'm making solid progress though.  I will be completed with the models purchased for the Tale by the end of March.  Yes, this is a second project to be completed in the same time frame as the Cygnar one.  

So, apparently, I only have hobby goals through March of this year.  That's cool, a strong start to the year.  I'll add one more:  
100% Painted for a War Machine Faction and a Malifaux Faction:  All the mini's I own for a faction, they will be painted.  I've got lots of unpainted.  No guarantee on which faction, though I don't intend to cheat out on this by picking a small one that I'm not playing.  For War Machine, it'll likely be Cygnar.  For Malifaux, I may end up playing Guild or Ten Thunders by the end of the year, or I'll keep up on the Neverborn.  We'll see as the year goes on.

That's it for the wrap-up.  Expect more updates!
