Meh.

I actually like the GW minotaurs somewhat, that one looks like of bland all over (and generally lifeless on the face)

Normal hooves and not melting wax legs = a win over GW for me.

Hurrah! A Minotaur that doesn't look like Fat Bastard!

Eeeeh, wargaming weren't like this back in my day!

Meh, I like the bulkier and more stout minotaurs.

Though I see what your saying on the GW minotaur feet...ugh.

I would probably take both of them if I was going to take multiple units of minotaurs, since I like things about both of them

Kroothawk, you are a veritable encyclopedia of alternate miniatures in this and other threads. Very helpful... thanks!

I was all hot for the GW minotaurs at first, but the general sea of derision for it slowly brought me to my senses... I still like them, but admittedly, the above looks better, imho.

To be fair, the GW plastic Minotaurs look better in person than with the official paint job. Still, there are better alternatives .

After initially not liking the GW ones I have become a convert. Their disgusting and mishapen appearance has grown on me. I know the original Minotaur had the body of a man but I think the gross musculature of GW Chaos ones is quite appropriate.

Not a fan of that Enigma version.
