I've been working on this entry since Christmas but its been slow going. In fact, its taken me a few years to collect these 12 old metal GW Minotaurs and its great to get this elite unit of Monstrous Infantry completed.

This phalanx of 12 Minotaurs is a brute shock unit - just the thing for my Beastman Army! Led by Taurox the Brass Bull, it includes a Doombull, a Bloodkine Champion, a Banner Bearer and 8 Minotaur warriors. In Warhammer terms thats around 1250 points - almost a whole army it itself. Wonderfully indulgent - cant wait to try it out on the table.
I submitted Taurox previously this challenge, so thats 11 big bad monsters at 10 points apiece for a total of 110. That takes me across my challenge target for this season!

Absolutely terrifying, Paul! You've done such a good job on the shading and colouring of the fur and skin. The figures pop hideously. I could see them being brilliant in other fantasy rules such as Dragon Rampant. I
ReplyDeletem sure they'll be a vote-getter in the AHPC. Bravo!
Thanks Padre, most appreciated. It was a bit self indulgent but a lot of fun :-)
DeleteSuperb mate. I love the blood effect with the mix of dry and fresh gore on the weapons plus splatters onto the bulls. FYI have a look at Red Box Games as they have some super cheap ones that would fit in very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - its been a bit of experimentation with the GW Technical blood paint, and I'm happy with the results. Will check them out, thanks
