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!

Posting from the future! Kinda!

So technically we get the latest update for our crews on the first Monday of each month, which means that this is totally still a November post.  Right?  Right.  I'll take it.

Anyways,  I recently adopted a cat that has taken up waaaay lots of my painting time with playing and neatening up and other non-painting activities.  However, I have recently allowed him to start being in my office when I'm in there, which means I'm back to painting!  Have I done any yet?  Not Malifaux stuff!  But I plan to, and I've done a whole lot of assembly recently.

For November, I've got $35 to spend or keep.  What am I going to add to my crew?  More Minions.   Part of the Malifaux Starter Box, which is an awesome buy.  Assuming that all mini's are equal, each of the 8 from that box set is $8.25.  I'll buy 2 Bloodwretches for $16.50.  That leaves me with 18.50 to spend.  For the time being, I'll leave it unspent and keep it for next month, December.

I'm strongly considering a heavy hitter for next month, maybe a Teddy or the Hooded Rider.  I've also got a Tuco proxy ready for paint, so maybe some shooting action; to that end, I've got Angel-Eyes and the Scion of Black Blood available and ready too.  So many choices!

My intention is to do some painting tonight, and get some progress made on these minis.  If so, I'll update with some pictures.

{Updated Pictures go here someday}

Status as of end of November:
Lucius:  Partially painted.
Scribe:  Unsure if I intent to use him or not.
Guild Guard 1:  Partially painted.
Guild Guard 2:  Partially painted.
Lawyer 1: Partially painted.

Bloodwretch 1:  Primed and ready for paint.
Bloodwretch 2:  Primed and ready for paint.


Arthur!

Also note, the curse of too many games:  I'm also trying to determine a pair of Cygnar lists for a War Machine tournament in March, where I have sworn to be fully painted.  I am not fully painted.  So I'll be juggling that with the TOMB3, and hopefully succeeding all around!  Stay tuned!
