"The Minotaurs fight in a very unique way - with massive head on assaults followed by retreats; much like a bull's charge. This unorthodox and not always tactically sound way of fighting, has made them unpopular allies among other Imperial forces.
During the Badab War the Minotaurs were brought in to relieve other loyal Chapters recalled to perform their normal service duties. In 908.M41 the Minotaurs caught the Lamenters Chapter who eventually surrendered after bloody ship-to-ship fighting in an ambush. The Minotaurs were granted salvage rights to space craft and a portion of the booty for their part in the war."
Its time for the Minotaurs, yet another chapter of the 21st "Cursed" Founding. We are doing them now as part of the Badab War campaign book, but they are a rather imposing chapter. If you fear the paintbrush, are unsure of your skills with yellow and stripes then back away. But if you want an army that will turn heads, and get the "Oohs and Ahhs" from the ladies, and sepcalizes in ship-to-ship boarding actions then step right up! The Minotaurs await! Enjoy guys!
We have been noting for a while that GW does a great job of covering the "Big 4" chapters with their decal sheets. However, there are a number of great looking 2nd and later Founding chapters who get a good amount of back-story and have great alternative uniform colors that never have had decals produced for them. In the interest of promoting diversity in the Space Marine community and encouraging players to branch out beyond the "Big-4", I continue our line of logo sheets for some of these other chapters who I think look great and have no GW decal support.
Here is the link to the PDF file for the logo sheet you can freely pull down and use:

The sheet is designed for printout on decal printer paper which is easily available online. These decals are designed for the CLEAR decal paper. The procedure is as follows:
CLEAR PAPER: If you use the clear decals, the decals need to be applied to a white colored surface to be visible at all. The procedure for applying the decals is to apply them to a white or yellow surface, and wait till they are fully dried. Then paint in the Minotaur's yellow around the logos if any minor touchups are required. It is odd, but gets the job done.

This sheet is sized for superheavy vehicles up towards the top and scales down to marine scout shoulderpad size at the very bottom. I have included the standard "bulls head" chapter logo first described in the Rogue Trader Badab War article. Please make sure you run off a test sheet first on your printer to make sure.
In any case, enjoy and I wish you the best in using this set for your forces.
~Please feel free to leave comments if there is a special Chapter, Craftworld, or something else you would love to collect, but have no GW decal options, and I will see what I can do.
