Forge World Releases Minotaurs Contemptor Dread

June 28, 2013 2 Comments

Forge World’s Imperial Armour Volume Twelve: The Fall of Orpheus pitches, among other things, the Minotaurs Space Marines Chapter against Necrons. I haven’t read the book, but apparently it includes a named Contemptor from the Minotaurs Chapter: Hecaton Aiakos.

Now, Forge World released the miniature for this named Contemptor.

Greek-themed Space Marines at their finest.

Thoughts?

I am not usually a bit fan of Contemptors, but it works rather well for this antiquity-themed Minotaurs Dread. Love the shoulder-shield.

Let me know what you think!

    The scroll work seems a little odd to me. Its just not in keeping with the Minoan and Greek design of the minotaurs chapter done before. It would be a lot more at home on a Emperor’s Children dread. here it just seems tacked on. Needs more geometric design and actual antiquity designs to be antiquity.

    The paintjob is great the scrolls looks like they added pasta to the body. Overall I love Dreadnought characters, Their just pure awesome, and I think it’s a great addition to a Minotaur player’s collection.
