Topic: Rise of the Minotaurs

Yeah with my old models they were all quite generically posed as they were purely for tournie play. Now I am sort of throwing TLOS to the wind as I try to make these guys a little more grandiose.

Don't get me wrong dude I LOVE contemptors and I have done since the first teaser but I am just not certain I can make one play the way I need while serving as a center piece in this army. Talking of them actually here is an old one I did a year or 2 back now:

Contemptor looks cool, I like the one foot on the rock. I've never been a fan of those kind of scenic bases where he pushes a wall around in front of him wherever he goes.

"Drop your weapons, you have 15 seconds to comply!"

Yeah, gaming wise the scenic bases make no sense but they do look cool. I'll see if I can get away with a 5+ cover save at Vanquish

So with one whole Tactical squad built I have kept the momentum going and finished the second squads first Combat Squad.


All of them ready for paint:



Now all I need to do is paint the first squad

Steady progress through new years for me too..


I've also realised I massively over priced my contemptor dread and found I had 70 points to spare! So I'm dropping the Agis defence line and quad gun and recruiting a Sternguard squad.  I don't have enough for full drop podding nastyness so a fire support squad with 2 Missile launchers will do the trick.
