Here's a greater daemon that I created out of Minotaur and spawn bits (and a decent amount of grey stuff).
Unfortunately, I didn't give him a great angle for the camera, so here are three pics:

I think the tail does alot to give the right apperance. Nice conversion, I also like the bone effect. Agreed that the camera angles aren't all that popular but there's alot of angles to look from on this sort of model. I dislike the skin tone, looks like some black shows through at some places, making it look unfinished.
EDIT: I like the pose, looks like it's searching for a new victim, that's admirable.

This is incredibly good. I really like what you've done. It looks very daemon-like, has zero cheese, and fulfills the "tourney" requirements for % of GW parts by a long shot. Congratz and outstanding work!

Guessing it's a slannesh?
I quite like it, I don't really like the skin tone either but that's just me really.
Awesome work!

I'm not like them, but I can pretend.

I find the pose implausible. Maybe if the leading leg were a bit farther forward, or it looked like it was charging, full-tilt. As it "stands," it would just topple over. It's top set of arms seem a little confused, too. The daemon is in intently-looking-for-a-victim mode, but the upper arms are poised to attack something that escaped the rest of the body's notice.
That said, the kit-bash is well executed, technically - the parts blend seamlessly. I'm not a huge fan of the color, but I think it's well painted. If it's meant to be Slaaneshi, then it's spot on.

Reminds me of Goro.
Might just be the four arms though.
Good stuff. I like it!

Damn fine work!
The head almost reminds me of the devil from the movie Legend.

Do you mind if i make a bit of a criticism?
I just find it looks just like a large Minotaur, than a daemon. Sorry.

Thanks for all the comments.
He goes with a Black Legion force, so he isn't meant to be too tied to any give chaos god. That said, the four armed minotaurs definitely made me think of Slaanesh too. However, I think the head that I used was meant to be Khornate.

When I see the bullhead I always think of Slaanesh, I used it for my Daemon prince of slaanesh. Reminds me of Baphomet, which to me, is slaanesh.

All my critique is meant to be constructive of course, it's a great kit-bash, awesome pieces glued together in a creative pose. Though yes, the right leg should be a bit further forward, however I understand why you didn't do this, there's a lot of muscles to greenstuff back.

Thanks for the link. I wasn't looking at something like that in particular, but that is in the flavor I was going for.

Looks very good and so much better than the original minotaur! The head pose is a nice touch
