These are some nicely painted minis but that minotaur is just :o, especially in the last photo. The white really makes him pop, really like his shield too, looks like a labyrinth (who makes him?)

The mini is by Reaper. The shield I hand painted. The dip made the surface crinkle, which adds to the skin-like feel of it.
I added the axe head from an old GW chaos warrior halberd head. The shield is the GW Empire round lion shield with the plastic lion face scraped off. I added a hand from an old Necromunda plastic gangera and viola'.
I painted multiple layers of fur and skin tone only to have them eliminated and replaced by the Army Painter quick shade dip I was playing around with.
Still dig it overall.

Brilliant stuff! Sold me on a few figures there!
What are you using for bases?
-
Yeah I have to agree that minotaur looks fantastic. They look better than most dipped minis I've ever seen - what's your trick?

Love the shield design on the minotaur - very appropriate!
The flesh hounds are great minis too - top job on all of them in fact! 8)

Great job. The shield on the Minotaur is very imaginative. I would love to see a picture of the chaos dude commanding the demons to attack the adventurers.
-
Most excellent mix of figs and fantastic brush-work too. More close-ups would be most gratifying.
-
Is that a genestealer? =) Top stuff, very well painted. I assume you use the dip sparingly - not only painting basic colours then dunking the figs in dip. =D

There are some on his blog:

Thanks to all for the feedback!
Here's the run down: I just started using the AP quickshade dip. I have been painting with inks for 30 years and thought that I needed to up my production and not make everything an 'art' piece. So I started with the Romans and then moved on to the Minotaur.
I then did something really stupid - I took my Dark Elf Scouts that were already inked, and dipped them. Don't ask me why because I really don't know....
I use Dark tone, and I do 13 shakes. I also go back and daub off serious excess points that gather.
As for my bases, I use 25mm round craft wood that you buy in a craft or fabric store in little plastic baggies. I don't remember why I tried those, but they feel better than plastic.
Hope that helps.
And yes, my blog has more closeups, etc.
-
Very nice pictures, especially on the weblog, thanks for posting 8)

Yes thanks for posting. Nice tip on the bases!
-
Glad you like them.

Very nice use of that Slaaneshi Chaos Champion model. Always liked him.

You've got some UBERCOOL minis all painted up to perfection. VERY WELL DONE!
-
Nice!

All of this looks great! I'll check out your blog to see more pics.
BTW if Army Painter gets to pricey, Minwax Polyshades "Tudor Satin" varnish is a cheaper alternative (about 1/3 the price). I use it to dip many of my figures.

Thanks for the tip. I'm ok with the cost on the Army Painter dips, and in addition to my usual inking, have found my perfect blend. I'm doing the splash on method with added thinner to pull the heavier globs off of the figure and exercise more control over the overall finish.
-
Cracking job on the minotaur.
-
Very nice love them all!!!! WOW! The 'green eyed monster' on my shoulder keeps saying just terrible things about you. I don't believe a word of it. Just GREAT stuff :-* :-* :-* :-* :o :o :o!!!

Thanks guys! You're going to love what we have painted up for our Epic Heroes fantasy skirmish supplement. We'll be doing the photo shoot next week, and I'll 'leak' some pics.
