Great Taurus indeed!

I really do hope GW brings them back 'officially'.

And soon.

**whitedragon**

You mean, "counts as" awesome.

**Generalstoner**

Awesome stuff at Scibor there, infact I just got my order from him and am totally pleased. The only one drawback I see with this guy is perhaps the dwarf is not evil looking enough?

**MagickalMemories**

I swear to God. if i had a use for a dwarf on a winged bull, I'd snatch this up in a second.

As is, I'm contemplating it anyway, just for the pleasure of painting it.

That is one beautiful model. It is also an interesting choice to go with feathered wings instead of bat wings. Just beautiful though.

**Reecius**

That is bitchin.

**Savnock**

Wow- Scibor has come a long, long way. That mini is truly beautiful. I love the compact, brutal and dwarfish proportions of the taurus. As for the rider, the subtlety is nice. It's not super-doomy. I like that.

**poipo32**

It needs a hat... except that I like it (It really needs something on it's head, not necessarily a weird chaos dwarf top hat)

**Kroothawk**

Guess it fits best here.

After doing this Dwarf King on War Bear (45$) ...

Scibor today released a different War Bear without rider and base, for 30$:

**Samwise158**

Those War Bears would be cool Thunderwolf Cavalry in some sort of Space Bear "Counts As" Army.

**sonofruss**

I can't tell is that a 40 or 50mm base

**LunaHound**

great Taurus have ugly wings...

**agnosto**

Awww see what you did, you made me go and get mine off the shelf:

@Luna: Ugly wings? Hush your mouth!

**AgeOfEgos**

Looks awesome but I don't know what you could run it as (Unless they bring the evil stunties back).

No :<

**Manchu**

Good point, Luna. Ugh.

Chaos Dwafs should be back on the strength of their hats alone.

**Spiff**

Ugh. Scibor makes me wish I played a Dwarf army.
Hell. I kinda want the bear anyway.

Yeah, it needs bat wings to be suitably chaos dwarvish enough...

**Kirasu**

Just in time for chaos dwarves to not be a playable army! Looks pretty sweet tho.. The wings look like they were stolen off a bird

**skullking**

Ah.. when I saw this post I thought he was finally available to buy.

It is a great model that has been taunting me from the site for awhile. Can't wait for him to come out, so I can get the bear king and some of those great minotaurs too.

And their curly beards too, don't forget that!

And their Hobgoblin slaves!

And their cool war machines!

And... the Lamassu!

**Skarboy**

That is pretty damn cool. I'd use that guy as a Thunderwolf Lord in a heartbeat.

**Alpharius**

I think I'm going to have to buy that model, just because.

Is there a good 'counts as' option in a Warriors of Chaos army that I could us it as?

**Relapse**

I'd dust off my old Chaos Dwarf codex and update the rules a bit with my gaming group just to run those miniatures if I still played fantasy.

**Kroothawk**

It's not a Codex, and you should better play the fully official Ravening Hordes list or the GTI legal fan-made Chaos Dwarf army book from last year.

**Grimstonefire**

Whilst I think this is a really good sculpt, it does not feel 'evil' at all to me, which is an instant fail.

**UbiSwanky2**

That looks way awsome. As for it being "evil" given a close look yeah I can see it but only because it's over shadowed by sheer bad assery!

**grizgrin**

Wanted to put together a Chaos Dwarf blunderbuss force for years and years. THAT model is just sheer fething incredible!

**John**

If you wanted to spend the money (and cut up an expensive figure), you could swap out those feather wings for a Balrog or dragon wing and get the chaos dwarf look.

**grizgrin**

Those infantry model prices would make an expensive army though.
