That Minotaur Lord is quite amazing and a real bargain. I've not wanted to add any monstrous characters to my KoW bad-guy army, but he's making me think seriously about adding one.

Ouch.
Definitely not cheap enough to want to buy more, unless I can find them at a strong discount somewhere. I'm not trying to say they *should* be cheaper necessarily... but I won't buy more at that pricepoint.
Not "almost $9". The cargo containers are only 8.29 and when you figure in the 20% off that you can usually find reaper stuff for at other outlets it's going to be around $7 each. That's actually a pretty great deal when you think that your other non-paper options for similarly sized containers are
-Rustforge plastic for $10-12 each
-Anisty resin $10 each, but you've also got to add shipping from the UK.
-O scale cans (when in stock) for around $12 each.
-2nd hand AT43 for whatever you can find them for, usually $15 or more..
Lasercutcard containers can be got for as little as $4.50 each, but in a "hard" material Reaper is the best deal going. for a 2x2x5 can.

The Minotaur Lord is an awesome figure, and he's practically just as tall as the new Bloodthirster.

The Minotaur is seriously sweet. For the price, you could buy the Minotaur Lord and a large Dragon from Reaper, for the wings, and still come out to less than half the price of the price of the new Blood Thirster
For those of you who care about such things, you can find all three scenarios for my Moolinda game on my Google Drive.
Sadly, it will be played with a hum-drum cow...But many thanks to Reaper for inspiring a game day that will hopefully be as fun to play as it was to write.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

How much of the bendy plastic stuff would you need to replace? Looks like the staff/glaive for starters. What about the frontal horns? I'm tempted, but it'd be great to hear more about it from people who have it in hand. I just wish it was available in HIPS.. /drool
I have the lord. It is pretty solid and once bones is set (ie cold) it retains shape well.
The long handle deforms well in hot water and remains straight when slightly over corrected.
The horns are ok, though i would ensure they are offloaded if you put him in a case. Im keeping his torso in 2 parts for storage (the join is done really well for this) and the weapon arm free too.
OMG! I love everything about Warhamster, but most of all I love that his armor is apparently made of (NON COPYRIGHTABLE) shoulder pads!
I need like 100 of him.
Oh yeah and some sort of cyber angel demoness thing
Normally I'd say something about using her in a sisters army, but seriously is there even such a thing anymore?
It's kind of like suggesting someone add a model to their squat guild.
Oh and yeah, bases if you need some, several sizes and shapes.
And the Bones II releases are trickling out. The photos are really not good, they need to give them an ink wash or something before taking photos.
I misread the Horned Hunter's name the first time and had to go back and look.
I mean would they really name a model the Horney Hunter?
This guy is out for $13. Just in time to compete with GW's $100 Blood Thirster.
(I know he needs wings)
Speaking of...
Yours for $10
And then there's this bit of nightmare fuel.
I wish I had a scale pic, he'd make one great unclean uh... thing.
OK this one made me smile...
I mean was there ever an easier model to sculpt?
I stand corrected.
The Numanera models are coming too. Numanera you may recall is an RPG set a million billion kazillion years in the future on a nightmarish devastated earth.
Nightmare fuel, pure nightmare fuel.
This can serve as a chocobo mount from that old Atari 5200 game Joust.
The fishman army just became a lot more affordable.
Some dragons in the release too
Some useful modern terrain
Not sure what this is
Some sort of phone booth or something?
Ah well I'm sure someone will find a use for it.
Finally we have some sort of thing, from the desert.
Already got me my minotaur lord. Nice model. His base is pretty neat- it's got the Minotaur's maze etched into it.
Going to pick up some dumpsters and street vagrants to hide inside them. Of course some of the zombicide figures would probably make good homeless guys...
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
I almost spat coffee all over my computer, thank you Kyoto.

Now to order it along with some armorcast high explosive hamster rounds

fwiw, The cargo container and other Bones were available at Miniature Market -- the terrain's already sold out! Cargo was $6.22. Free shipping at $100. Buy lots of cargo.
They're some kind of hard plastic. Dunno if they're exactly HIPS or whatever you get your GW models on.. but hard, somewhere between GW stuff and model tank kits. So not soft bones. I really liked painting my shipping container. Not sure if I'll get more at 6-8 bucks a piece or not. May see some work their way into other orders to complete shipping and what not.

I got two of them today, they're a hard plastic like sheet styrene. They also have tops and bottoms, from the pictures I thought they were missing the bottoms. The top is removeable so you can put stuff inside or model it torn open.

On the kickstarter thread someone posted a link to some interviews with Ed Pugh the founder and owner of reaper.
This is worth a watch as he explains how he got started.
What's cool and enlightening is that he didn't come in due to a pssion for fantasy or models or any of that. No sketchbooks of cool monsters or high school D&D campaign to motivate him.
He wanted to own his own business and manufacturing is what he knew.
So he started making model fighter planes for the 50th anniversary of WWII.
Then he saw this Magic game taking off and made life markers for it.
And from that fantasy models, just as the lead scare was forcing everyone to move to tin.
And the rest is history.
I really his his observation that he makes hula-hoops, and knows that any day now the hula-hoop fad may end so he has to be ready to jump to the next fad.
That's the knid of cool head that builds a company and keeps it in business.
