Wow, the minotaur looks good!

**MagickalMemories**

Great looking models.
No complaints, but a couple suggestions.

The dragon's snout looks too blunt. To me it's more canine looking that draconic.
I find the horns to be too... vertical... too. I prefer a sleeker, more horizontal angle.
No other issues with it (rear right foot looks GOOD).

I have precisely one problem with the Griffon. the beak's too small. It should be substantially larger.
LOVE the pose. Does it have a "topple" problem. The body almost looks too heavy for that base to keep it upright. LOVE the idea, though. excellent "out of the box" thinking.

The Minotaur itself is awesome. The only problem with it is that the Axe head isn't large enough. It might be "realistic," but it doesn't "fit" the minotaur... The handle might be a little bit too thick, as well... but it's not bad. Just the blade.

All in all, I'd say:

Dragon - B+
Griffon - B+ to A-
Minotaur - A-

Overall averages to a high "B" or low "A" for me.

Nice.

I love that minotaur.

I have a question though. How stable is that dragon? It seems like there is a LOT of weight on the tail/base connection and that it might be pretty fragile.

**Malika2**

According to the sculptor there isn't really a problem, but pinning them to the base is recommended.

**Llamahead**

I like the T-Rex style Dragon Head there great idea! The Griffon is utterly awesome may have to get one on payday!

**Alpharius**

Have to agree on the Griffon - that thing is awesome!

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Looking good.

**Malika2**

By the way, I found this on Warseer. You can see how the Troll Forged Miniatures Lizardmen look next to GW's ones!

**greenskin lynn**

wee bit of a size difference there.

the monsters are awesome, buy the way.
next time i have the spare cash, i might have to pick up that dragon

**Malika2**

Here it finally is...the Demon Hero by Hive Trygon!

Enjoy!

**greenskin lynn**

very cool.
the body looks good, though the face seems a bit smooshed looking to me....

**Malika2**

"Smooshed looking", what does that mean? Sorry...English isn't my first language (eventhough the forum for some reason thinks Im from the US). :(

Bunched together. Samengedrukt.

**LunaHound**

It reminds me of this alot lol

**Mattlov**

Quite so, Luna. But I still like it.

Hey...nothing wrong with Predator! That still remains one of my favourite alien designs!

@BrookM: bedankt man!

**captain.gordino**

How big is he?

**Malika2**

He stands on a 25mm round base, so I'm guessing a little bit taller than a guardsman standing up (the daemon would thus be even taller since he is currently kneeling)

**Mattlov**

Wow! I thought that was a Terminator base at least! That is great detail for a smaller model!

**Malika2**

Hive Trygon really has improved his sculpting skills!

Expect more madness in the coming months!

Personally, I like these two touches simply because they help to set this dragon slightly apart from other great dragon models in the marketplace (such as the Ultraforge resin kit and the upcoming Heresy dragon). There's enough design space for dragons to make quite different renditions of the concept, and I believe this one has a good niche.

I know o_o i didnt say there is anything wrong lol. Just saying they look alike!

**Malika2**

Ed/Hive Trygon has started on his alien project, as you can see its still veeeeeeeeery WIP

**Fred_Scuttle**

Hi - I KNOW the base is resin - but is the piece as well or is it metal?

Thanks!

Fred

**Malika2**

The whole models are resin.

Update on the alien:

The head might not be the definite head, meaning that it might be changed later on...

**BrookM**

Overall the alien looks good, my only complaint is the head; while the quad-eye look is a nice touch I find the mouth rather, meh.

**Malika2**

A different head might be coming soon, more people weren't that happy about the head.

**MagickalMemories**

I actually like the head.

My complaint is that, to make the tail, he used "brownstuff" instead of "greenstuff."
That just does NOT look right. Especially in a squatting position. LOL

**Schepp himself**

Nice alien! And interesting head, I like if some sculptors try out something rather unorthodox with their models.

Keep it coming!
