I do like the Willy Miniatures Minotaur, but this is pretty good too, from RNstudio

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).

i have this mino as well. its a great figure.

Omg, those 4 minos were the first painted minis I ever saw, in the first White Dwarf I ever ogled during lunch break in 6th grade! Talk about a blast from the past!

Ir may not be the best model around, but I really like the 3rd edition Grashnak Blackhoof (even moreso considering that he doesn't actually have any hoofs, black or otherwise!

). It was one of the first mini's I owned (to go with my Chaos Team, back in '95 or so) and when I finally painted him it was a moment of great triumph for me!

Yeah........he has feet! I did a pretty good Grashnak too back in the day. Thinking about it, I remember the tongue too!

I never realized he had feet instead of hooves!

You can see mine here, in this picture with the reast of my Chaos Team
But in comparison, I always liked the one better, I used with my Chaos Dwarves.

I use the later mino (the one you use for the CDwarfs) for both my Chaos and my Chaos Dwarf teams. Grashnak is Grashnak, and is only used as the Starplayer.

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

I love that mino! I use it for my Chaos Pact, but I also removed the horn on the forehead... too weird!

Regarding converted minos, I really like this one:

I agree, there is a lot of cool minos out there, even more if you have in mind those that are easy to convert. It's a pity that only 4 are needed!

Anyway, for me there there is a golden rule: "No feet!!! Please, minos with hoofs!!!"

At first glance, I was totally WOW!ed by this one.
But then, it almost looks like he had a two anded weapon before converting.
As much as I love the bisonlike head, the whole stance of the mini is strange.
Look at his left leg, this not only looks unnatural, it almost hurts to see it.

Well it's a little odd, but remember it's bending at the hock. I guess the closest real example of a hock bending this way would be a kangaroo.

I dont know man, it could be in the middle of a dynamic motion, like a photo taken at the wrong moment during a game of sport. This dude is putting some pressure into a blow.

I think he is great... But yes the pose does look like he is winding up for an upper cut not downward smash...

I really like the Avatars of War Minotaur, he needs a weapon snip and is a little top heavy but is fun to paint.
