Hey, just wanted to share these amazeing miniatures with you all.

I think the models they make are getting better and better.




Keep up the great work Felix

Prefer the look with the Great Weapon meself, seems to suit the pose more.

And despite still being 'not quite right' for Minotaurs (IMHO) these are very nice models! And the closest to how I imaging Minotaurs to be.

wow man those looks nutssss.

Heh...Heh... WoW Tauren...

On the contrary they do look really nice. I need to gey myself some of the Avatars of War Minis for my orc army and my chaos army!

Fantastic chains

These are really good.

I'm waiting with baited breath for the new GW minotaurs.

Apparently most of the new beastmen models have been hit with the ugly stick so other manufacturers providing quality will be essential.

These are nicer than the new GW ones IMO but then again the GW versions are plastic so convertable and have options including command on the sprue.

Those are darned nice, but the do not come cheap... Ouch. Not that they probably aren't worth it, but ouch.

Vale,

A big, top-heavy metal mini with just one hoof making solid contact with the base? Don't get me wrong, those are the best Minotaur miniatures I've ever seen, but I believe some pinning of that back hoof is gonna be required.

These are so awesume. Im totally getting one for my beastmen army as long as the armybook turns out good.

over and out avach

Bloody brilliant.

With these guys and the Beastman Lord model, AoW once again show us how it should be done.

To me these are the best minotaurs in the market after the Illyad ones and I need some for sure for my skirmish warbands games.

Yey - hooves!!

Seconded. I much prefer my beastmen to be really bestial.

Sweet models. I believe I read in the Beastmen summary Minotaur Lords allow Minotaurs as core....this might convince me to get a Beastmen army.

On the beastmen discussion thread I mentioned that I hoped that the new (hopefully plastic) minotaurs would have hooves.
I then got a lecture about the origins of the myth of the minotaures.
What he forgot top mention in 'correcting' me was that 1. there was only 1 minotaur & 2. he was based in Crete not the WFB world!! lol.

Hopefully, it's pegged.

Nobody tell GW, if they find out someone is making generic fantasy models they'll never release 8th Ed.

That'll learn us...

No, they'll just remove Minotaurs as an option from the new Beasts of Chaos rulebook before its released.

Yeah, nobody tell GW that a former employee is still sculpting models in their scale, style, and perfectly aligned with races that exist within their universe!

Wait...

Another fantastic release by AoW.

Support these guys, they have FANTASTIC customer service and are overall a great company to deal with.

Grey: feth what thier customer service is like, models like this more than make up for anything

This is actually THE only minotaur model i like
May have to check out thier entire range now lol

Edit: Not wanting to run this topic OT, but with models like this* GW needs to really start letting thier better sculpters work more projects.

Absolutely. These are looking frakkin awesome! Vicious

Those are excellent miniatures. Some of them will end up in my RPG collection for gaming.

A very fine miniature this seems to be. At least I think it's one mini with two sets of hand options, as has been the case for AoW releases before. Will wait with some interest how the GW minotaurs will match up to these.

I'm pretty sure the The Warstore stocks this line too, so there is that...
