Just £43 to go till the Minotaur is unlocked! So close I can taste it...

So...what exactly does Minotaur taste like?

Chicken?

I would hope like bulgogi or maybe corned beef.. or.. ooh some really good brisket.

..now I'm hungry for some BBQ..


OT
The sculpts are nice but as thin as my budget is I am having a hard time justifying a use for almost any of this :/
The Hooked Horr... err.. Beasts.. might be cool but I don't have an immediate need for them :(

40 backers to go for the armored head!

I need that head!

The next KS stretch goal is the Hook Beast!!!

We currently have several beasties to choose from... the Minotaur Guardian, The Zomie Hulk, The Flesh Golem, The Lizardkin Deathscale and the Bugbear Ironshield.

We will also unlock the Armoured Head for the Zombie Hulk at 175 backers!!!

Everybody needs a Hook Beast (or two)

so come on people give all your money to Minion so we can all have them

I'm in for one! And a minotaur, but who's counting

Lightweights!

Death Guard pledge ftw!

Papa needs Mr. Hooky!

Looks like the latest update includes pictures for size comparison! Hooray. Hopefully more to come!

Those got me excited all over again. My original intention was to make the Troll Patriarch a Troll Bruiser for Kings of War, but oh, dear, he's a bit big for that, isn't he...

Still a great model and I hope I can do it painting justice!

Yeah he's a monster!

Final week now - hope to see some good momentum and get to that Hook Beast

Yup, the Hook Beast is top of my want list from this KS,

although if I have to the Minotaur and Hulk will do, or maybe 2 Minotaurs

but I really want hooky

Need dat hooky for a Varangur Jabberwock!

Hopefully the last 48 brings much funding.

Let's hope so!!!!

Down to the last 50 odd hours,

I still believe we can get the hook beast, but even if we don't the huge zombie hulk and minotaur are well worth a look

check out the KS and help us get to Hooky!

Absolutely... Nearly at the 48 hour shout out. If you haven't already check out the size of these minis. They would make a great centrepiece to any army! The hook beast is not that far away!

I backed for the Monsters Ball pledge, intending to get the Zombie Hulk, Mino & Hooky, but it looks doubtful that Hooky will be unlocked now so I'm not sure what to do.

I've got all of the other brutes that I wanted from the first KS.

I'll wait until nearer the end, if it seems certain that Hooky will not be unlocked I will have to lower my pledge accordingly.

Over 10k now, 30-something hours to go!

Might help to unlock it at 12k, as the sooner it unlocks the higher the total will go as people add it on - bit of a chicken and egg thing.

It doesn't look like this one is going to benefit from a last 48 hour push. I hope that it finishes above 10K! Quick, post pictures of your models from the first campaign to inspire interest!

Yeah it looks pretty steady, but the total is good and hopefully should be able to fulfill it quickly! Can always do the next project a bit earlier as a result if it is ready (although hopefully with renders and even test casts ready to show of some models).

We funded! Thanks again everyone!

Thank you,

looking forward to the casts

Things have been ticking along at a rather leisurely pace at Minion HQ, mainly due to the lack of anything resembling internet. Due to a whole range of problems we have been offline (apart from some paltry 3G, for about 3 weeks. but now we are back and I have some images to share.

First of all is a look at the optional variants for the Zombie Hulk. Only two additional parts were unlocked by the KS but they just so happened to be my favourite! This image shows the Zombie Hulk with the alternative Cyclopean Head and the hook and cleaver arm-set.


The second pic is of the Minotaur. This is obviously only a work in progress shot but he should be finished and ready to reveal in a week or so.


As always comments are welcomed!!

Good to see you back again

love the cleaver arm and the minotaur looks like a promising start

Looking great! Will he be getting fur? You mentioned he'd get a mane which is really awesome . Can't have a minotaur without a mane!

More Minotaur WIP....

New Minotaur shot...

Now he's fuzzy and angry

Awesome

That is looking nice! Still might could use a little more fur, but man, really liking it now . Can't wait to get it!

Some shagginess is always welcome with the beastmen.

Does he get any pants or armor prior to casting and molding? I seem to remember him having bits of armor...

He certainly does. This is just the basic frame before adding the armour. The overall mini will have a much heavier and bullish (excuse the pun) feel to it.

We are also waiting for the alternative head, the Gladiator helm.

I'll just leave this here...
