About the Project

A few years ago I was given a few old school "pre-slotter" miniatures a friend found at a boot-fare. I found this awesome Minotaur dude in my bits box and decided to paint it and share with you how I did it.

This is how the mini came to me. Dirty old lead and some chipping flesh coloured paint. A sorry state really.

I stuck him on a base a primed him using Games Workshops Zandri Dust spray.

Once it had dried I gave the whole model a liberal wash of GW's Reikland Fleshshade.

I dried that with a hair dryer because I am extremely impatient and was keen to finish this guy! After I had dried the wash I painted the base colours that weren't skin. I did the fur brown with a flesh coloured dry brush, his robes red and the metal of his axe and brooch things Leadbelcher then picked out the gems with a bright green.

I then gave those sections a Nuln Oil wash.

I then highlighted the whole model. The started with the skin doing a layer of GW's Kislev Flesh, then a second layer of that mixed with some white, I then picked out the high lights on the rest of the detail using the base colours.
