Second round! I told you I had another Minotaur by Troll Outpost aka Obscure Creator. OK, here it is :)

| Mooooo |
You can see its the same mini, but not the same ;) First of all I painted him black. Now that I see it I do believe it fits much better than brown. In order not to have just the same exact mini I thought of a way to swap legs or something, but let's assume it, that's too much work for me lazy guy. I only replaced the bayonet with a piece from my bits box. I went consistent with the red scheme to make him integrated into the unit. And that's it. Here you have next to his buddy:

| Now this is some proper bullfighting, not that other weird thing |
But this is not all. I also got this other big guy:

| The guy who wouldn't dare to become a pirate. Eye-patches and stuff, you know |
I had a problem with this one. I painted his skin in the same tones that my HeroQuest Fimirs, as he most probably will be leading them ;). But when I just went on highlighting the mini, the paint I was using reacted in an strange way and then it all became messy and green (I hadn't used that colour in a time and the paint pigment wasn't properly mixed). Well, so it is greener than I expected, but the mini is still greatly sculpted :D

| And he is also a real big guy! |
I still have to paint two Piscean Warriors to finish the first release I purchased, but they already are on my workbench...
Excellent ! I loved the brown version but I love the black one even more now !
ReplyDeleteHaving near twns as them, I would have called them the legion of doom or something !
Th efimir is also really nice, Though I will go for something lse than green on mine, I like th eassociation of your green and your tarnished gold.
Really great job !
Thank you! I believe Diego has some other Minotaurs in mind, so my aim is to muster a herd... I mean a band! :D
DeleteLegion of Doom... Hmm... sounds good!
I was refering to the 80's wresting team kind of "legion of doom" their colours match and their brutality must be on the same level as well ;)
Delete"Legion of Moo" surely? ;)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I believe we have a winner! :D
DeleteNice work on them both. Having a different skin tone is more fitting for a leader he's special and obviously been born that way to do great things.
ReplyDeleteDon't give me ideas! I'm beginning to see an albino bull :D
DeleteThese minis look larger than the W40K ones, are they?
ReplyDeleteI agree on the black skin ... it looks way more fearsome than brown which would have looked too predictable.
They are monstrous beasts, I should take size comparison shots. To give you an idea, I'm using 40mm bases for them.
ReplyDeleteNow that I see the guy again I can't understand why I didn't go for black for the first Mino too, it looks much more natural, much more like a real bull. I might redo the first one, hmm...
(BTW, before anyone asks: no, I am not doing a space bullfighter :D. That's not gonna happen, I'm not that stereotype guy).
Awesome figures!!
ReplyDeleteMimis are bigger than I believed. Interesting...
Great work!!
Thank you! The sculpt is really great, I cannot but recommend these minis, they are quite enjoyabe to paint :)
