Likewise. If they had a paint job like the gor in this Warhammer TV Blood Bowl tutorial they would look much better.

They would look fine if they had some leg armor. The legs are just grotesque looking because of how muscular they are.

21 Enlightened
22 Gors
23 Ungors
24 Ghorgon
25 Tzaangors
26 Cygors
27 Ungor Raiders

That's what I can get, based off things currently as Warscrolls with Gor, Monster of Chaos, Brayherd, or Warherd..

I don't think Ogroid Thaumaturges will be in there(No Gor keyword like the Tzaangors have), but maybe the Mutalith and Slaughterbrute?

Also for anyone interested:
The new Start Collecting set saves you $49.50. It's $134.50USD value and saves you enough to grab another box of Ungors or a box of Gors or whatever.
This assumes that the other stuff won't be repackaged into better boxes. I could see Ungors going to 20 models per box but it might not be a right off the bat thing.

You forgot the Cockatrize. So 28.

Nice to see there will be a Stat Collecting box. Bird flocks might be cool as a source of plastic ravens if the models are the right size.

You can add me, too. I happily used the models as Big Mootants for my Lost and Damned.

I doubt he repacking of the ungors will increase the size, seeing how the start collecting appears to have 10 ungor models

Start Collectings don't always have exact box sizes. You get 5 Vanguard Hunters, they come boxed in 10s.

IMO the issue is contrast--by doing the fur patches the same color as the skin it makes it look like they are thicker areas of fur that covers the whole body instead of a cross between a balding middle aged man and a naked mole rat.

Mine with my new test colors.
Anything without the extreme contrast makes it a much better model.

Yeah. Just paint the "skin" any other color than "pink human skin" and it looks good. As Nith said, the paintjob GW gives them make them look like Egyptian Cats or naked moles.

Also, the ridiculous difference between the shade in the recesses and the flesh tone GW gave them makes them look like pieces of clay cobbled together. They just look unnatural.

Slaanesh IS coming, you know...

There are so many good Minotaur models out there now - even with a 'good' paintjob, the GW versions are...not good.

I have all the Mierce ones, and I'm waiting for the ones from this Kickstarter a while ago, for them to be on retail. But GW Minotaurs are their own take on the concept. I personally, love them, but because I just love Minotaurs of all shapes and forms. GW's ones are much more mutated and less bovine. But because Beastmen are a mutation from Chaos, afterall, not their own race.

I guess, but as you say, the Mierce 'Minotaurs' spoiled me for life...

Just like his owner spoiled all his old customers back in the day... lol.

Ok, I'll stop mods!

For the record this is what I think a female minotaur should look like.

Beefy.

Unfortunately that was one ill-fated project, not the least because I started painting the first model without finishing the conversion (lacking all mechanical bits to tie the gun into the arm).

I never got past the base colors for the test model.

Holy frigging crap. Ambushing Minotaurs and Dragon Ogors is ridiculous.

I suppose, after all this years, we are finally getting Tauren rogues.

. . . How do you not see a freaking Minotaur hiding in the bushes?!? I love it though.

The madmen. They have bringed back Chaos Mark.

My Khorne Minotaurs... at last... I'm gonna cry blood from joy. With the new 2.0 ally rules it will be a little difficult to have them in a Khorne army... but IT CAN BE DONE!

Everything's bigger in Age of Sigmar. Even bushes.

I finished a warherd army last month for a WHW event. Great army, plays really fast as everything dies on contact - it may be you (they are easy to kill) or him (you hit super hard), but one or both of you dies really fast. For a time limited game they are ace, every game finished way ahead of schedule - I think the 2.5 hour games finished with an hour to spare.

I also had 4 monsters (2 ghorgon, 2 Cygor). Remember they are also warherd (unless that changes), so by the sounds of it you can have ambushing behemoths as well and they will heal themselves whilst killing stuff!

I'm sooooo happy.

The fate of the beastmen range had been a constant source of consternation for me, ever since someone on the Herdstone forums(which I think was quoted from some prominent, 100% correct up to that point rumormonger from warseer) was talking about how Bretonnians, Tomb Kings, Wood Elves and Beastmen would be canned, pre-AoS due to low sale/range reduction. Then 2 of those were canned outright and the Wood Elves range was pretty well gutted and split off into seperate things. Was worried that my favorite army, and the last man standing in my WHFB sell off in the middle of 8th edition would follow them into oblivion. It probably would've killed AoS for me, personally. Maybe even fantasy wargaming in general. So to see GW put some new life back into them, I'm beyond stoked. If I didn't already have a herd that puts Gorthor's rampaging Empire devastating horde to shame, I'd be putting some serious cash down this weekend. Luckily I stayed the course with my Brayherd and I'm probably the most excited that I've ever been since AoS launched.

Cynical diatribe thats neither news or rumors, despite my excitement I have to do it:
