Martok Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks mate! Well I have not quite gotten as far as vehicles.. or even a list yet... however, my theory is that these guys will fight in force so likely use as many points to put boots on the ground as possible. The vehicles would likely be a little brighter though.. having said that i think the same process could still work as I have zenithaled the highlights on the troops i reckon I could build it with an airbrush in the same way and then spray the washes on again... however, i think trial and error would have to be done. Luckily i have some mangled rhinos we use for terrain laying around so I might try it out on them. <-- UPDATE ON PREVIOUS PAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsa_terminators Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Great conversions, can't wait to see them painted. What mm card are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Great conversions, can't wait to see them painted. What mm card are you using? Thanks! One of them is almost completely painted so I shall try and get some good pics of him now. I think the plasticard is about .2mm but not certain as i grabbed whatever looked most suitable out of pile of thicknesses. I shall try and check for you though.

Kingdom of the Emperor Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Wow those look amazing! That bronze is awesome, esp with that patina. Quick question though, what knight heads are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Wow those look amazing! That bronze is awesome, esp with that patina. Quick question though, what knight heads are you using? Hey, those Knight heads are from the Grey Knight Strike Squad box set. Update! http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2301.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2302.jpg This guy will be sergeant for either an Assault squad or Vanguard. Please give me some critique as i know the spear and general posing is off and could do with working out how to fix that. Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 The Minotaurs finally have a full Tactical Squad built. Read on to see these guys all together. I wanted to start using some of the Scibor basing kits I picked up so I tried a few ideas out to make use of them. My favorite at the moment has to be the guy vaulting with his combat blade drawn: http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2350_zpsbe0184f4.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2342_zpsc836f5fb.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2346_zpsc4e01a4c.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2343_zps02a7c4eb.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2344_zps8c258c85.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2341_zpsee43e368.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2340_zps535dcb56.jpg With all ten guys from the first Tactical Squad built I just had to get them together for a group shot: http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2351_zpsd472740f.jpg I have had a lot of fun putting these guys together thus far; when they are all painted I shall have to ally them in to one of my armies for a game lol! Hopefully by the end of January this army should start to be playable. - Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 After getting the first Minotaurs Tacrtical Squad done I am on a roll and I have already finished the Heavy Bolter guy for the second squad. Again just like with the first Tactical Squad I want to keep a consisitent basing them using the Scibor kits to help with that. I think the large base makes the model look very imposing: http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2339_zps476440e7.jpg http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u649/Bloody-Dice/WIP/Minotaurs%20WIP/IMG_2338_zps6e871b74.jpg Now I need to work out how I am going to do the rest of the squad; I am looking to keep them all in a support fire theme. - Martok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
