Theduke08 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Granted we don't know enough get too much of a head start but I figured an assault marine might not go to waste. Here is a work in progress for my test mini... Can anyone guess what chapter I'm going with?

Theduke08 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Minotaurs it is! I love dreadnoughts and the contemptor pattern are some of my favorites. Depending on how force org. looks in this new edition from a fluffy standpoint they have a ton of them. I was lucky enough to have a very kind Frater member reveal that he had some extra transfers laying around.

Knight of the Raven Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Ah, the Minotaurs. The only space marines who can make gadding about covered from head to toe in bronze look not gaudy. Even if I can never take the verdigris seriously. I don't think ceramite contains copper. Nice assault marine. I think that's the first time I see a Minotaur in corvus armor (since usually they hog ALL THE ERRANTS).

Theduke08 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 I wish I had enough errant armor but sadly I do not. Maybe we will get a new kit that has a bunch of it but until then it will be sparse in my Minotaur's sadly.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yeah, I agree with Raven about the verdigris being silly. I mean, the armor isn't actually made of bronze, copper, or brass and a paint of one of those colors sprayed over the ceramite armor wouldn't tarnish and grow verdigris. It's possible that decorative elements might be made of one those metals, but given how long it would take for verdigris to form, the marine would probably get an ass chewing by his sgt or other superior for not taking care of his equipment before it happened.

Theduke08 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yea I'm going to tone down the verdigris quite a bit. I'm not going to get rid of it all together though. I had some transfers finally show up in the mail that were genoursly given to me by another Frater. Ive finished 4 marines so far. Im thinking about power fist on the next guy. I really should be patient and wait for 8th to drop but thats not happening. Here is a rough group shot.

Theduke08 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Finished 10 so far... kind of just painting without a purpose right now. 8th can't get here soon enough.

Radiation Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Nice painting. How are you applying the silver chipping effect to the red (and gold) areas? It looks really cool.

Theduke08 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 @Radiation the chipping effects are done in the laziest way possible. Just get a little piece of sponge, put just a little paint on it and just apply it where you think the armor might be chipped or scratched. I use a pair of tweezers with the sponge so I can get into some spots my fingers cant.

Theduke08 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Im conflicted on adding some of the new marines to my Minotaur's. They were basically huge pricks and banned from Ultramar. And RG is the one handing out the new marines. So im not sure how they would get any without making nice with Calgar and RG. I can say for sure they will be getting some of those new dreads though.

Theduke08 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Finished a 10 man tac squad with multimelta, meltagun and combimelta. Also started some work on my Devastators. Im thinking about going all missile launchers for the first squad. Not 100% on that idea yet.
