Theduke08 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Much to the Chagrin of ol' Marneus Calgar the Minotaurs are getting the primaris treatment. This is my test figure. I plan on painting up a whole squad and maybe a repulsor if my hobby ADD doesnt kick in before than. Also, if anyone has any Minotaur transfers they would be willing to part with that would be sweet! Im running low on mine and have been unsuccessful finding anymore online. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varyn Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Looks good, I've always had a soft spot for the FW 40k chapters. The Minotaurs scheme is quite unique and looks good on the new primaris marines. Transfers are very tough to come by, I would suggest you look into having some custom ones printed up or looking on shapeways for shoulder icons or shoulder pads: pads: https://www.shapeways.com/product/CD4LMQHG3/minotaurs-shoulder-pads-mk7-8-x10?optionId=63043470&li=marketplace icons: https://www.shapeways.com/product/J799HEPEL/60x-minotaurs-shoulder-insignia-pack?optionId=62992021 custom decals: https://www.fallouthobbies.com/custom Look forward to seeing more of this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Ive debated having custom decals made or making them myself. Its just hard when comparing them to FW transfers. Thanks for taking the time and posting those links. I dont really like the shapeway pads very much. They show the 3d printed "grid" lines too much for my liking.

OakRiver Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Very nice work. Are you thinking of adding any verdigris in the recesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 There is a little bit. I didnt want to over-do it. The light on my workstation really washes out the paint job. Ill try to take some better photos next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theduke08 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 So my attempts to find any Minotaur transfers has came up empty. Im going to attempt to create my own. Im lucky enough to have a friend who can get me a very high quality vector image of the chapter symbol. I just having the decide if I want to go inkjet or laser printer. Does anyone have any insight into which works better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanhgg Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Have you tried chaptercustomizer? They have lots of transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I have but he takes about 2 months to get custom orders out and your lucky if you get exactly what you ordered. I had a bad experience with my first custom order from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Nice model great to see them getting the Primaris treatment... if Kren & Frep can get it why not Minotaurs eh Love the Bolter cheers Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Also, if anyone has any Minotaur transfers they would be willing to part with that would be sweet! Im running low on mine and have been unsuccessful finding anymore online. PM me. I am also doing Minotaurs, but have gone with Shapeways 3d printed Icons instead of transfers. I have a ForgeWord Minotaur Transfer sheet around here somewhere that I might be willing to part with. I'll look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Ive finished another marine and just when I was starting to despair on running super low transfers the MadGreek comes in and saves the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focslain Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Looking at doing a Minotaur squad in the future. What colour do you use for the armour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Im pretty sure I use Hashut copper from GW. I prime black and then airbrush the copper color for a base coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varyn Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 really nice work, the transfer makes all the difference. Are you planning on using Asterion Moloc? It's a pity that lots of the FW HQ's seem overpriced. Seeing this blog makes me tempted to get one of those primaris battleforce boxes and do a Minotaurs force!

Theduke08 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I agree on the transfers. I love them and FW's transfers are amazing. I think im going to do an all primaris force so no Moloc. Im not sure what im to do for an HQ to be honest. Im going to keep painting up some more troops and some Inceptors and go from there.

Theduke08 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Finished the first combat squad. I painted up 2 different Sergeants. One with a power fist shown bellow and another Sergeant with a bolt rifle only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 With some of the price changes from CA I think im going to paint up a squad of inceptors next. I just need to decide if I want to keep them super cheap and go with the heavy bolter pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
