[mode] [paint] Hobby Progress

I'm off to a good start this year. In January, I:

- built (converted) and painted my last Cryx model, a Slayer Warjack. I
added horns, reversed the stance and an arm, went with a grungy metallic
brown scheme that contrasts well against the other two (mottled green
and black).

- primed and basecoated the last of my Witch Hunters forces: Eversor
Assassin, Culexus Assassin, 3 Retinue (Servo-Skull, 2 Sages), 3 Bolter
Sisters, and 2 Heavy Weapons Sisters.

- painted the last 10 Bedford-sculpted Stormtroopers in their requisite
camo to match the rest, so now I have a full 24 Inquisitorial / IG
Stormtoopers ready to take the field!

- repainted and retouched the remaining 10 Empire Crossbows to match my
new DoW / Empire armies in purple and white / grey. That takes me to
2x14 Crossbows, if I so desire.

- painted 15 Empire Greatswords that can pull double duty as Frenzied
Doppelsoldneren in my DoW army. I went with a "brighter" technique, as
they are an elite unit.

- started assembly of 10 Heavy Gear "Gears" and 28 Pikemen. Just
finished prepping torsos and getting them on their bases. Pike men will
be on hold, as the Gears take center stage.

All in all, this January was really productive from a hobby standpoint
with 36 models "finished", and good progress on 48 other models.

Moving forward, my priorities are:

1. Finish Heavy Gear models in February.

2. Paint 5 DoW Pistol Duellists, Cannon to have a "good" (i.e.
"semi-competitive") painted 2000-pt WFB army for March gaming!

3. Start prepping and assembling Ogre Miniatures for April gaming.

4. Paint remaining (10) WH / SoB models to complete Inquisition options
for 40k IG / SM.

5. Continue selling / trading stuff I won't be playing!

Good Grief, John! As long as you are painting so much, I could use some work
on my house.
How much paint did you go through..? Three gallons?

BTW I would love to see that Cryx Slayer.
Post it on Genbus

Which color scheme are you using for the SOB?
I'm still having a hard time deciding...
