Next Monday I am starting sculpting my next Avatar of War, a Minotaur Lord.
Looking for suggestions for the pose and desired weapon combos!

Thanks!

A minotaur's an ace idea! Hmmm...I have to think about the pose but I hope he'll have a savage, primal look to him. Maybe a war club, one or two handed would look the part.

Minotaur Lord??? awesome.
i think the quintessential minotaur weapon would be a massive two handed axe. a giant spiked mace would be pretty amazing also. he should also have plenty of trophies. a trophy rack might be rad as a back pole but not totally sure if itd work with the minotaur.
as far as the pose i think either having a wide stance with the weapon held over his head with his head aimed toward the sky screaming or slightly crouched down and arms thrown wide to each side with his head looking forward and roaring.
no matter what his pose, the bigger and more ferocious the better
really excited about this one. cant wait to see your sculpt felix. good luck!!!

I would love to see a Trident wielding minotaur (maybe with a net, not needed though), or swinging a couple of flails, or even a single large multi headed flail

Maybe coming up from a crouched position, one hand still on the ground other hand raised trailing his massive flail behind him, head slightly lowered to "bull rush" the opponent?

Awesome idea!! (still waiting for the Lizardman, but may buy this one as well)
My idea for the pose would be him in a marching stance with left hand raised forward without any weapon and the right hand raised backwards holding a massive meant-to-be two-handed weapon. His face should, in my opinion, look aggressive, blood seeking and concentrated. An emotion that would also work woud be this: The minotaur with his head raised a bit releasing a savage roar.

Seconded!
I'd also think about giving him armour, as to stand out from the Minotaurs from other miniature facturers.
As a weapon I'd definately go for a two handed weapon, a blunt one possibly.

Looking forward to seeing this happen.

I love the Armour idea, could we possibly make it a little bit Greek/Roman?

Another thought would be optional Weapons, a Trident/Spear & Net might be nice

I would like to see him in a charging and running pose. Where the head is a little bit down and both arms behind his body holding two single weapons ready to smash. The mouth open screaming for a war cry. (why i can not draw )

I'd say a very savage pose, a big spiked mace, a lot of small wounds/cuts, which he seems to ignore. some arrow tips in his arms. and a very, very frenzied face, maybe one hand taunting his opponent.

Just googled a bit and found this picture. Personally I think this guy'd make a perfect Minotaur Lord (maybe a little less armoured though).

Seeing this pic I thought about my previous statement. I still think this would look awesome, but I think a "nobler" minotaur would be equally cool. The savage approach has been explored by dozens of companies hundreds of times, an aristocratic looking minotaur might be something a little more original. Upright posture, restraint facial expression, royal heraldry, clothing (?), that kinda stuff.
Anyway it's just a thought, still loving the savage approach too.

I'm new here and would like to cast the vote for something similar to whats in that picture put up by Dark Sheep. A double headed Axe is must for a Minotaur. Armor that is as equally as nice as the work done on your Chaos lord would be fantastic. Thank you

I would agree with a great big axe, like a bigger version of your goblin's one.

For a pose I think he should be leaning backwards, roaring to the uncaring sky. He could have his axe arm held behind him, and the other one in a clenched fist (perfect of swapping into something else at the wrist)

Much as it may not be a great film I suggest you watch the Chronicles of Narnia. There is a really cool minotaur in that (General Otmin). http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/669/669397p1.html

To save you from watching the whole film (;)) the battle scene is good.

I think it is important to remember that if this guy is in an action pose he should be putting his whole body weight behind it.

Minotaurs to me are savage and uncivilised beasts. I would hope his armour and weapon are barbaric and rough looking compared to others. Things like a cudgel or huge club would seem right to me. Of course, it depends on your backstory for his race. Perhaps he is a professional gladiator so classical roman gladiator weapons would suit. But my initial thoughts are that mino's are a force of nature, not proffessional soldiers and their equipment should reflect it.

Similarly, on many of the other characters, you have trophies from their enemies. For the mino, I would have a half eaten piece of his foe...
