Nice Job. It has to feel good to have that done. I am just finishing up my Descent figures. I will be using an assembly line like you've done to get them completed quicker.
Nice of you to include some free advertising for Games Workshop.
I wish I had your dedication and/or energy, or whatever it takes to complete what is, for me, a mammoth task. Your end result is so impressive that I'm thinking about it. Darn it!
A lot of people knock GamesWorkshop on the grounds that they are expensive and I have to admit that they charge £2.25 each for those little 0.4floz pots of paint, ($4 US for 12ml for the non-English speakers amongst you) but I find that the quality and consistency is well worth paying for. If I run out of blood red, then the next pot of blood red will exactly match the first.
Many thanks for the comments; now go ahead and do it, it's easier than you think!
They're too "fiddley" for me too. I actually paint most of my minitures with Delta CreamCoat from Michaels since I'm cheap (@ $1 for three times as much paint as GW). They also have a broader color range if you don't like mixing colors.
Unfortunately they do dry a bit faster so its necessary to make good use of your water jar, but beyond that I've gotten suprisingly good results with cheap paint!
