Not to be blunt but there's a reason for that. They look feeble.

seen a pickie somewhere on the web of a minotaur model ripping a man in two above his head. literally the torso in one hand and the legs in another. it looked really good. perhaps an idea for alternate arms??will try to find it and post it.

i like the pose but not to keen on the minotaur itself, looks a little on the skinny side to me, i think minotaurs should be big, bulky masses of muscle

Yeah, i agree. The minotaur should be intimidatingly big.

The pose of the minotaur in those photos is very nice. it is a very animated pose, it looks like it could cut someone in two any second. :bigaxe:

That minotaur is made by a company called Enigma Miniatures. A great artist named Raul Garcia Latorre is the sculptor for the whole range. It's in his 54mm range called first born. He does a lot of GW type chaos miniatures so I'm pretty sure that's a minotaur of Nurgle. In that case the skinny, rotting look suits him well. O.....and he's one of the best minotaurs I've ever seen sculpted. I hope Felix is able to top that!

Sorry, a bit of misinformation on my part. Raul doesn't sculpt the whole range, though he does a lot of them. My bad. :oops:
