Thought I'd share what I'm working on. I'm trying to do a WoW inspired Army in 28mm. I'm kind of surprised that not too much people have done this. If anyone has suggestions that I could use to make Taurens and Trolls, please let me know.

Here's a Orc Prot Warrior WIP.



FOR THE HORDE!!!!

For Taurens, look no further than the Minotaurs found here: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod460008a

Some green stuff to bulk them out, etc. Wouldn't be too hard to get a WoW-esque Tauren. Trolls in 40k/Fantasy are a lot different than the WoW version. You might want to look at goblins maybe? I'm not too sure on that one.

Stone Trolls are the closest to the WoW Trolls, but they're not going to be a cheap option at $25 each.

Neato! I'll check them out. Thanks! Hmmm, Tauren Marine conversion???? Heh.

WC Goblins... Shredders and Tinkers - awesome.

This guy would make one bad ass Tauren Arms warrior.

It should be noted that the WHFB Minotaurs linked are huge, about 2x the size of a SM Terminator.

True. I you want marine-sized tauren-like models, Gors are more what you should look at.

It's supposed to be a Tauren/Minotaur, not a human. Even in WoW Tauren are modeled larger than the other characters, why would you go smaller?

Well, I just thought that if you wanted them marine-sized, you should use gors.
