Fair comment, ta. Marr is pretty generic, i freely admit. And was finished quickly. I couldn't bring myself to disguise the muscle tone I'd done because i was quite pleased with it. And yes, he looks like a bodybuilder, sonc that was what i was aiming for, and using as reference!
Scale? Same scale as everything else, just taller since barbarians are 7 foot tall, not >6.

Glad you like the minotaur, it was a pain in the bum trying to figure out how to make it run convincingly!

Oh, he's great. I'd order him... but I don't have a team that needs another minotaur right now.

Doesn't mean I can't make the mini a prize in a house league tournament, though...

wow, the confrontation guy is an awsome CW, thats gonna be a chunk of money i'm now missing (whoever posted that is a jerk

) nice mini

I used reaper warlord "woodcutters" beastmen (i think) for my chaos beastmen and i think they look really freakin mean. just weapons clips and drilled out the clipped end, i shoulda done more work but modeling is not a skill for me.

well i hate you and love you at the same time

I like my beastmen for my chaos team, though, so you can't cost me too much more money

the warriors unit looks like a possible conversion with weapon removal... and includes musicians for supporters...

I quite like the wargods of aegyptus stuff, but I don't think the children of khanum (the goat headed ones) are that great. I'd thought about using some of the others as beastmen and getting a real menagerie - vulture headed, jackal headed, although that doesn't fit with the horns physical ability so well.

How about this guy as a harder-than-average beastman:

yeah, i really liked the jackals too but i was then thinking more about the "traditional" beastman look with the horns...

these minis are quite fitting with my chaos teams of old as i have always named my beastmen after egyptian gods...

Thats a great fig Richy. It depends on HOW big he is. If he's big guy size I'd rather use the Heresy Mino.

Just found this guy in my bitzbox. Forgot that I had him. Anyone ever do a BB conversion?

Yeah, a guy I used to play with did the weapon snip with that mini and put it on the Blood Bowl pitch. He did the same with a few other WHFB Chaos Warriors from that era, and they looked great chasing the pigskin.

It would be a cool Wight or even Beastman/Chaos Warrior !

Man, that's one of those classic Chaos figs I wished I'd brought years ago.
