Failures of the Apocalypse

 Coursework is killing me. But I managed to get some work done on my putrid blight kings. The pale white/blue skin makes a great contrast to their rusty dark brown armor, and the purple of the boils should make for a nice spot contrast. Theyre also fairly easy to paint! The first model I painted for the unit, you can spot the wet-pallete in the backgroud, neat piece of gear that. And the unit as a whole. Putrid Blight kings have a very distinct look, and they should contrast nicely with the more armored chaos warriors and knights.

Having painted the minotaur general I was left with a hankering for more, and soon enough I was painting yet another one of Zealot Miniatures gorgeous minotaurs.

This has naturally lead to them having lots of different models from various sources, but unfortunately both iterations made by GW failed to scratch my itch when it came to these bovine behemoths.     Not a fan of the musculature or the poses, still, I suppose it would have been nice to have more bitz. LOOK AT IT. Its at home in a kids cartoon, not a battlefield. Also note the derpy teeth consistent in both iterations. Thankfully however zealot miniatures produce absolutely stunning models, ones that fit the aesthetic of warhammer perfectly while also looking stunningly good in general (theyre so good even my sloppy painting didnt ruin them). So, without further ado, let me present my big minotaur lord. The model was an absolute JOY to work on. After my previous work (the chaos knights of The Hexed) the abundance of flesh and the rough, coarse armor was a breath of fresh air. And the lev...
