Do you mean this one?

My favorite Monitaur would be a mini that isn't even a minotaur.
Like my favorite troll it's from the Privateer Press Hordes range, the Satyr.

+1, is an astonishing miniature!

But I have a weakness for old school, and my favorite mino (and the one I use with Chaos Dwarves) is this one:

I own that mini, I bought it for my Chaos team.

It's a fantastic model. But it's just too big for Blood Bowl use. It comes with a 60 mm base (!!) and it's hard to see how it would be stable on a smaller base size.

So I wound up buying the Black Scorpion minotaur and using that one. I don't have a pic handy but it fits the scale much better.

For Chaos Dwarves I do like the RollJordan model:

... just because it looks "Chaos Dwarfy".

According to the Privateer website it comes with a 50 mm base.
But nevertheless, this is still way to big, just like my favorite troll.

But I can dream, can't I?

Yeah, I reckon the WM chaos mino might well be the best. That said..

I'm a big fan of the new Meiko Minotaur:

If anyone has one of these old GW minos to trade, please get in touch!

I've also got a Heresy Elfbane and it's great!

As if I didn't have enough on my wishlist...

Definitely a vote for willy Minotaur. It is a great size and has no tail (big plus!). This is my one:

For me, there's a lot more great looking Minos than trolls - this thread has already added 4 figures to my "want" list.

Yeah some of those are really nice. Like some of the others though I'm old school. I used to play a mino army in warhammer, and I much preferred the smaller Marauder minos to the more current Citadel ones (more current being 15 years old!)

These are a pretty good size for BB too.

Citadel BB minos were a bit weird in that 2 were the size of the above minis and then there was the huge 3 piece one that leaned forward and could no way be supported with the current BB size big guy base.

My favourite is the Willy Mino. It looks so powerful and menacing.

I like this old GW one as well. He is the Minotaur Lord Ox-Roar, painted by horekim:

Ox Roar is awesome, and I'm glad you posted, because it saves me taking a pic of mine and it's rubbish paint job...

It does require a weapon snip of the axe in it's right hand, but that is easily done (even I managed a decent job of it).
