Joe's Compact Chaos Company - April - Minotaurs (208 points)

I did fear that I might be on my way to the field of bones this month. I haven't had the weeks of enforced idleness that some have had (thank goodness, as I'm self employed) and I've been teaching the kids most days too, but I did manage to take this evening off and bash these lads out at the eleventh hour.


3 Minotaurs with light armour and double handed weapons @56 points each and a standard for 40 points.

The standard bearer is a relatively recent Bob Olley that I got from Forlorn Hope, the other two are old Citadel. I did a couple of weapon swaps to replace broken parts. To add height to the middle one I stood him on a skull from a kids' anatomical model from a magazine.

I'm blown away by the standard of the entries- some absolutely gorgeous armies taking shape! Keep safe everyone, keep going with your armies and give Nurgle the swerve...

    1. It was a whole evening from about 8 until the wee hours, fuelled by coffee and podcasts, but yes, they went quickly. Wish all projects went so easily!

  3. Awesome work at the last minute! I fell in love with Minotaurs during last years' OWAC, including the chap in the middle - yours looks much meaner, mine looks very bovine indeed. Lovely stuff as ever :)

  5. Great looking unit. I always loved the sculpt in the middle, I need more for my chaos army but they are so hard to find at a reasonable price.
