Back from the dead - minotaurs

Almost every day as part of my job I tell people they should have goals that are realistic and achievable. Well perhaps I can learn to listen to my own advice and paint something that matches the time I have available for painting!

It's not going to win any prizes (although I will admit that photography at this level does it no favours) BUT, it is a quick paint job to reproduce en-masse with minimal effort. By combining this with ramping down my desire for a successful list  and literally just painting and assembling everything in my space marine box I've actually been able to make quite significant progress.

I traditionally play at around 2000 points and while this army shot is about 500 points short of that it is about two thirds painted and the 500 points of remaining models are waiting in the wings, ready for assembly and a quick paint job. Painting so far was done in three batches - two batches of troops and one of vehicles - with each batch taking a little over a week to complete. At this rate I may actually have a finished army painted inside a year. Inside 6 months even! 

It's not a complete rush job either, there has been time for a few little touches to try and individualise the army. There are NO mark 6 beaky heads to be seen, all the sergeants have  an approximation of mark 8 errant armour and I think the bases look pretty cool compared to my usual rather sparse flock job. Plus all the squads are getting painted squad markings. All in all it's a satisfying experience so far, and as a playable army it looks very nice on the table.
