The Brazen Spear - A Minotaurs Log

I felt there weren't enough character models in my army yet, so....

Huge thanks to Apostle of the 30th Host for being kind enough to snag me a Praetor Tribune last weekend! Now I just need to determine what to do with him!

Oh wow, I haven't posted here in a while as once again I seem to be using the ETL Strategium thread for my updates. These guys are not far from complete, with some touch ups here and there required, then i need to do the purity seals, scrollwork, bases and final washes before doing decals etc, which I'll do all together at the end.

 

Siege Master

 

 

"Sicarius"

 

 

"Cypher"

 

 

Devastator Squad 1

 

 

Devastator Squad 2

 

 

Rhino Primaris

 

 

 

That leaves me with one more Devastator Squad, "Culln", "Vaylund Cal", my Teeth of Terra Captain and the Land Raider Excelsior to get all the basic work done on before i hit the washes/decals/bases stage.

 

And here's what I decided to do with my Praetor Tribune: "Lysander"!

Way cool! The angle/position of the shield seems slightly off. Perhaps a bit too low, given his pose and grip on the hammer?

 

Yeah; it's just blu-tac'd on at the moment so can be repositioned, although finding a balance of it being placed practically (ie, mounted on his wrist) without actually hiding the detail of him gripping the base of the haft is a bit tricky. When i get done with my current ETL vow I'll be revisiting him to tidy this up.

Hail!

 

So the ETL is over and I managed to amass this lot at a little over 4,000 points:

There's also an Assault Squad and Jump Pack Chaplain that I somehow conspired not to include in the above photo

 

 

 

Now the event is over I'm back to trying to motivate myself, which is much less easy than relying on my competitive side. I did manage to start a couple more models this week though;

While I do have around 2000 points worth of models sitting around waiting to be painted (or stripped & repainted in some cases), I find myself wondering whether to save them until the next ETL (!!) and work on some of my other projects. I am rather taken with the new Deathwatch kits and fancy doing a small force of those, although given the Minotaurs having large stocks of MKVIII armour and access to all the best gear I might try and see if I can integrate them in to my army as a counts-as-Deathwatch instead.

Congratulations are in order, Halandaar! Excellent work all round and thank you for joining Team Codex and helping us get so, so, so close to 3rd spot. Next year we'll do better. ;)

We sure will, I think we'll have to rustle up some kind of satellite event for Codex similar to how Chaos do it. Can't hurt to boost our chances!

Excellent work thus far. I especially like the Rhino Primaris with the auspex mounted on a Hunter missile launcher turret.

Thanks! I'm not a huge fan of crew models hanging out of the top of vehicles and honestly the only reason the Land Raider Excelsior dude made it on was because I couldn't think of a better way to show that the vehicle had the Rod of Command upgrade!

Indeed. We also need a core of people who have the spare time to manage the whole thing. Definitely something we need to think about and discuss early next year. smile.png

Although it's obviously a long way off, I'm provisionally happy to assist in the management of such an undertaking!
