Minotaurs Chapter


"The Bronze Beast in the Darkness"

UPDATE: Minotaurs are no more. They have been cast to the warp (sold on eBay) to make room for something way cooler, a Legio Cybernetica army!

With the release of Codex: Space Marines I am going to be jumping on the bandwagon and starting a Space Marine force for the 41st millennium. In the end I narrowed it down to three chapters, the Raven Guard, Raptors, and Minotaurs. I chose the Minotaurs in the end because I am already working on marines that are pained black and green and I find the Minotaurs fluff and look to be quite interesting. Yes, I know they are "Spartans in space" who raided the set of 300 for their wargear. As usual though, Forgeworld makes something so cliche look awesome. I am really looking forward to painting up some bronze Space Greeks. I also like that they are a chapter that fights more like a Space Marine Legion with wargear from that era. I don't want to abandon 40k entirely for 30k but I really like the play style of the Space Marine Legion army so I have selected a chapter that basically is a mini Space Marine Legion. Here is what I will be building up and painting in the next several months:
