AlexCrute Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 My totally legit grimdark love for you waneth not. And carve a bit of crest out, it's horsehair (and need not be in pristine condition - this is not Enkomi's first fight is it?). Fit is very important.

Asterion Moloc Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Long time since I have been able to work on my Minotaurs project! Have been a lot of time getting my scenery and gaming table together and also doing stuff around the house. But the Minotaurs have not been forgotten. I have been working on a remake of my Librarian 'Lycurgon' in Terminator armour. Every previous attempt at modelling this, has fallen short of personal expectation until today. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UP4h-Nv94FQ/T7exyBB4zNI/AAAAAAAABbs/Tp2LQrars44/s1600/IMG_1796.JPG Still a few things to do on this before I can start painting, but I am already looking forward to working on this, as its a lot better imo than my previous attempts at modelling a Librarian.

Asterion Moloc Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Back into full swing with the Minoaturs now, have added new members to Terminator Squad 'Gerousias' and will be adding greenstuff insignias and the second cyclone missile launcher shortly. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9m672NHZpTE/T7zeqQBxt1I/AAAAAAAABcU/2T_hI9c7Qfk/s400/IMG_1830.JPG I also be changing the weapon on Librarian Lycurgon (under advice), it won't be a spear and will probably be built out of plasti-card.

Captain Semper Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I haven't looked for a while and I'm in awe!!! Amazing stuff here Asterion Moloc - what happened to the Contemptors? They looked EPIC!!! Not to mention the SH termie conversions! Just in case you're interested, we are running a painting competition called "E TENEBRAE LUX" in the forums CHAPTERS OF THE ADEPTUS ASTARTES, CHAOS LEGIOS and VIVE IMPERIUM. Maybe you are interested to join the efforts of your Index Astartes brothers? That would be motivation for you and we are going to get to see more of your fantastic stuff during the summer? What say you? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asterion Moloc Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 @ Captain Semper - I think a deadline is just what I need to get this project moving a little faster. I will check out the competition properly once I finish work this afternoon. As for the Contemptors, they are still alive and about, but just not a priority right now. I have been suffering from two problems these last two months: Shiny toy syndrome and the want/need to get my gaming table complete ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the damned artificer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This thread is pure awesomeness! your work is dangerously close to making me want to make some minotaurs ;) Can we please have an army shot ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asterion Moloc Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Can we please have an army shot ?? I will try and get a decent army shot on the newly painted table by end of week, all the figures won't be painted but at least it will show the Minotaurs 'in full force' if that makes sense. Glad you are liking the figures and am grateful for the response ;) With thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asterion Moloc Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh jeebus, an assault ram in this army blog? I cannot wait to see WIPs of that beauty I got it as a Christmas present, but have still not opened it, the gf has pretty said use it or lose it, so if I don't get it done, I won't be getting any more FW goodies as gifts again :( So for the good of getting more FW resin in the future, I must get it done :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgothNL Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This is some of the best work I've seen :P.. It is truly inspiring :( Could you please tell how you did the finished armours? (you posted a recipe at the beginning of the topic.. but it seems like it changed quite a bit (added some blue-ish tones etc). I could really use this kind of armour colour on some of my guys :D. Thanks in advance, and keep up the fantastic work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, and keep up the fantastic work! Thanks for the kind comments, here is the recipe I use for the army. I have not used any blue in this army bar the glow effects on the melta weapons so perhaps you mean the verdigris? VMC - Vallejo Model Colour, GW - Games Workshop Base colour - VMC Bronze Two coats of GW Devlan Mud One coat of GW Badab Black Highlight - VMC Bronze Highlight - VMC Old Gold Final Highlight - GW Chainmail Silver Verdigris - VMC Black Green thinned down with glaze solution I hope this helps :) Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAChos Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well done for pledging such a large amount for the challenge brother. The Index Astartes forum may well win the day yet! As for the models, any more clues on the librarian weapon? I'm tempted to think it might be some form of Greek sword. Like the lovely hacky curvy one they use?

Still toying with ideas, I have experimented with a falcata design before, but it looked a little out of place despite adding some power weapon details to it. I might have no choice but to go the Asterion black spear route...I just have to keep experimenting until I get the right 'look'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asterion Moloc Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Quick wip of the new Stormtalon gunship in Minotaurs colours. I have not forgotten my painting vow, but really want to take a crack at painting GW's latest Space Marine vehicle :) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkp968Hn3cs/T88aFTuuNNI/AAAAAAAABeg/1UWJn2bt_7Y/s1600/IMG_1853.JPG Thanks for looking, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the damned artificer Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Despite thatI dislike the design of the storm talon I must say the gold is exquisite :D ANd the army shot will be eagerly awaited even though it wont be with all the minis painted :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asterion Moloc Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 @Chibasan - Sounds great, more ideas are always welcome! @TDA - I will get right on it, a full photo shot by the end of week, regardless of painting situation ;) @ZAchos - Advice taken, I have made a request to add a trio of Stormtalons to the Vow list, looks like I better get cracking with the paint! Thanks for the support guys, it is appreciated :) With thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
