Wow the curiosity o_o i must see the vomit inducing leg!

So the new Minos are jacked out of their minds after too many cycles.

This is bad why?

I don't remember that one! Any chance of a link or a pic?

The description may be a little faulty. I have a lead GW Minotaur Lord from about 1989 with a "dragon claw" mutation and a large axe in the other hand, but the head is not a skull, it's a fierce bull head as would be expected for a Minotaur. It is a cool model.

He was sold with a choice of two heads, one an open mouthed bellowing normal head with forward facing horns, the other a bovine skull with backward sweeping horns.

There is a very poor image of him here, the bottom pic:

Ouch. Oh well, I was always planning on going with Rackham's wolfen (if I can find any anymore) for my minos, so aside from playing in GW stores I'm good.

Also I got pics of the new bestigors.
All appear to have EXACTLY the same horn set sprouting out of their helmets, I didn't get a good look to see if the faces were different. All in same, or very similar pose.

It's quite hard to make bestigors look different. What sort of armour were they wearing? Plate? Scale?

Ungor can have: Spears and shield, HW & shield.... bows! (may have been short bows). They are also able to skirmish. 20mm bases For The Loss!!!

Hmm... I hope the shieldless option still exists, although I guess it's easier for me to glue on shields than to crack them off their bases (that I even put magnets on the bottom of!)

A bit off topic, but I'm trying to build my army so that they don't look skilled, and while I like the idea of having a shooting unit bows are just a level of sophistication beyond what I'm trying to portray. If I modelled a unit of gors with slings (which I think are just like shortbows except for an extra shot) and used shortbow rules, would people get upset?

2 new beastmen characters were in the pics, 25mm bases, no other details.

Thanks for the infor. How about chariots?

And how about someone who sees this picture snaps a photo for those of us in far off lands who won't get it any time soon?

The bestigor were (from memory) in plate armour, cannot remember if there was chainmail.

All of the models in the pics (ungor) had shields modeled on.
I didn't see the bow option but was told by my source who is getting the codex soon (couple weeks).

Do the slings. Just tell people, and no problems.

No chariots in the pics from memory (I forgot about chariots), I think I was too overwhelmed by the minotaurs. I had heard from a couple of GWHQ sources that they were totally pants... but man. *Shudders*

I will be at my local GW tomorrow and see if they have recieved the promo posters yet. But they don't like photos in store usually.

Bestigor and in a mix of chain and plate.. and..well... dressing gowns. Chainmail mainly though.Odd stances, to my eyes, I guess perhaps to emphasis their non human nature.

Ungor have a choice, at least model wise, of melee weaponm spear, shield and bows. Command options as well.

Actually, it's very close to a bull's hooves, just with plantigrade feet. The round sort of cloven hooves you usually see don't really fit any animals.

that model is terrible.

There was meant to be a big beastmen news release on the GW website 3rd Jan but it hasn't turned up....

Anyway to the pics.

Here is one of the promo posters.

The whole poster.... no chariots anywhere.

Please note, it is a big pic...

Wow Gonad , you weren't kidding about the cancer tumorous legs ...

Im betting.... its the same sculptor as the plastic Catachans ?
Khrazarak is the same... old old shaman is the same
Gorthor im guessing? not on a charriot hmm...
Ungor looks like boy scouts
Gor looks the same
Bestigor looks like Gors trying to fit in skaven stormvermin armor...

so wait....Beastmen are possibly going to lose their skirmish playstyle and just be another rank and file army? That was their appeal tho

Believe me it gets worse.

Close up of the minotaurs , and the new bestigors (note the uniformity of the models ).

The plastic minotaurs look all bloated, like some mutant from DOOM.

Close up of characters, close up of gors, close up of ungors.

See it all on BOLS and Warseer tomorrow.

Go Team Dakka!

Well this army will atleast make some Chaos Traitor guards very happy...

I was going to start a Beastmen army next <.< but due to some of those images and the rumors about their new rules... Im not too sure, not untill I see them in better pics and official rules at least.

There is only 1 hope left , which is maybe we'll see new charriot + tuskgor , or centigors.

Then maybe we can make an all cavalry beastman army T-T

WAT?!



Thanks for the scoop Gonads but ... but ... but ...

Yeah... I havent kept up with this thread till now and I might go back later and read everything but I was originially hoping I could use stuff from my WoC army for use in Beastmen so I could expand on both and apparently they are taking the shared things out? Im not sure if those rumors change, since as I said, I have not kept up with this thread... that was another reason I wanted to do it and because of that I was also turned away... I suppose the Minotaurs would be cool if I went with a nurgle theme >.<

Here is the inspiration for the minotaur sculpt.
(deleted by the Modquisition for the good of humanity-seriously come on)

Well then... She is definitely a devouted follower of nurgle... Not just on table top but as a real life devotion >.<

(deleted by the Modquisition for the good of humanity-seriously come on)

Sees minotaur models after all these months of anticipation, "My eyes my eyes. Agggh".

Scrolls down, "my eyes my eyes. Agggh".

I want to quit the internets of Dakka now. But that was an appropriate pic of insperation. LOL.

EDIT: I guess minoaurs could always be painted with MC Hammer pants. I gues that would them be "M"MC Hammer pants.

Never visiting this thread again. (/Barf...)

The mino or the pic i linked?

I guess i'll delete it before i get in trouble o_o

The GW minotaurs are a new low.


Well hello there Avatars of War...

All of these are better than the Razorgor too.

Still... minotaurs ranking up in threes in seems then... could be a handy indicator for another army that relies upon creatures of that size with regards to the future perhaps.

There are no new centigors or chariots, this this wave anyway, aside from 1 centigor special character Blandymcblandness.

Ooooo I just looked at the AoW ones again, although they are about $10 more they are worth every penny due to the GW ones... I had totally forgot about them... ty good sir

Am I the only one who thinks that most of the new BoC look, well, not awesome, but, nice?
