August Painting Competition – Minotaurs NMM Push-fit Infernus Marine

Last month was supposed to be the “everyone paints the same mini” comptetion, but GW was late in their shipment to AFK, so it was pushed to this month.  The miniature in question was a push-fit Infernus Marine with a choice of bare or helmeted head.

To really push my painting skills to the limit, I decided to do a Marine from the Minotaurs chapter, who are mostly Bronze with some maroon details. For all the metal areas, I tried my second attempt at Non-Metallic Metal, using only browns, tans, yellows, and skin tones. Here is the result!

The Bronze is Rhinox Hide, then Nuln Oil to line panels.  Rhinox hide was then blended up to XV-88, then Tallarn Sand, then 50/50 Tallarn Sand/ Phalanx yellow, then 50/50 Phalanx Yellow/Kislev Flesh, then Kislev Flesh, then Flayed One Flesh.

Grays are basically every gray GW makes, but with Pro Acryl brand white.

Maroons are Mephiston red, shaded with Nuln Oil, then Mephiston Red, then Evil Sunz Scarlet.

Base is Administratum Gray, Nuln oil, then Grey Seer stipple.  The rebar was grays with orange stippling, and the weird plant was Mantis Warriors Green over white.
