Feral obscenity and the vilest depravation, here come the Minotaurs of Slaanesh ! Introducing Slaaneshchild next infamous project...





So here we are !! Another OWAC !! I had in mind to build a dark elves army with only dark raiders and dragon riders. But unfortunately, I am a bit short on money at the moment so I can't afford it. I had in mind this project of "only big creatures"... so I unearthed them an I realized I had an entire horde of minotaurs (and friends).

Humm... And what can be more depraved and repulsive than a minotaur dedicated to Slaanesh ?

It works pretty well with my other projects as I did Warriors of Slaanesh for my first OWAC, Daemons of Slaanesh for my second OWAC... this one come beastmen and minotaurs, this is pretty obvious.

Of course, the horde will gather around a Keeper of Secret, this is mandatory to me and KoS looks like a minotaur. 

I am also thinking of making a daemon prince, like a former minotaur champion that has risen to daemonhood.
I will have 2 packs of minotaurs, some ungors also, and some Slaangors. 








I have also this RP Box that I do want to paint. Those miniatures are dream I couldn't afford when I was a child. So today I am realizing it !! I will play them as harpies. Maybe I will make a regiment of renom of my own.


I have converted Fenryll ogres into minotaurs. And here is their "king" :D 
I wanted to make a minotaur shaman, but without creating rules, so here he comes : a minotaur hero with the crown of sorcery... I tryed to make as ridiculous as possible and I am pretty proud of me, he looks scary. He reminds me Art the Clown in Terrorizer. 





I also made a minotaur daemon prince... He will be my minotaur lord.




A keeper of secret is also sneaking around...



Behold the master of the Horde !!!!! 






The kinkiest baggage train ever !!!! 


In Provence, we have a legend of a monster name "La Tarasque". It was supposed to live in the swamp between Avignon and Arles during the Middle Age. I had this weird miniature and I decided to add it to my horde. I will play it as a medusa or an hydra.


My beastmen. Some are creatures from RAFM and Metal Magic Dunwitch Detective range, some are very old citadel minatures, some just oldhammer stuff, It will work well together.


Here are my ungors/lesser beastmen/thug, depending on which edition I am playing with. They are orcs from LotR from RP range I think. Those miniatures are fantastic. I am impressed by the lever of detail.

Everything comes to an end, here is my army list ! (4th ed army list)

  1. Lots to enjoy here! Slaanesh minotaurs make great sense to my mind, but that is where the sense stops and the chaos kicks in - a converted giant with Nagash's hat!? A KoS with wings!? Mantis headed minotaurs!? And who doesn't want a unit of eclectic beastmen in their OWAC army!? Love it mate, can't wait! :D

  4. I love your conversion work and how you can stitch all kinds of models and bits into an army that somehow makes total sense.

  6. An interesting mix of miniatures and some interesting conversions too. Will be fun to see all those getting painted.

    You Tarasque is a Grenadier Miniatures Tsin Dragon, one of my favourite small old dragon models, nice to see that pop up here.
