More specifically can anyone help me find the bronze or a similar color that was used to paint the minotaurs space marine chapter? I included some pics of what I'm aiming for.






Thanks

Looks like
1. Tin Bitz (Base)
2. Dwarf Bronze (light Top)
3. Wash of Devlan Mud/Badab Black
4. Highlight With DryBrush Golden
5. Then very light Drybrush with Necron

Any of those paints on the GW website. I know Tin bitz was replaced with warpstone bronze. Not sure about the other ones though.

All the paints mentioned have been replaced by GW.

GW has an equivalency chart but general consensus is they do not match the old paint.

If you want to use the old paints its better you use vallejo game colors, they closely match the old colors.

Here is a site with some suggestions for gold or bronze:

Thanks a lot guys.

Ead Brown from Forge World has a blog showing his Minotaurs; it's worth checking out and he might tell you how he paints them somewhere (not sure): http://daedeluskraetyr.blogspot.com/

Yea Sorry. I still am using the Old Paints, with very few of the new ones.

I really like the From The Warp Minotaurs how to http://fromthewarp.blogspot.fr/2011/12/painting-minotaurs-in-bronze-and-banner.html
