BY THE POWER OF GRAY SKULL IM HE MAN !!!!!


sory but this mini reminds me of that ..

He-Man was very cool and i like this one too. It's much better than any other minotaur releases i've seen. Great stuff Scibor.

Looks good. What I like about the release info besides the great studio paint job is the pic showing the sprues. I really like to know what I am getting into before I make a purchase. They're some mini's I know I would have skipped had I witnessed the bizarre choices made (GAMEZOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEE!!!!!) and some companies who's stuff I think is not as challenging as a pic of the finished product might lead you to believe.

Keep it up! Looks to be a banner year for Scibor.

P.S. Can't wait for my Uglyn Lovelord!

I like the pose, the dynamism and the general concepts. Some details are also very nice.

However, the anatomy requires some refining. I would really like to see you spending more time on one particular mini, so that all the details would be worked out with care.

It's really a shame. The head is so good, the hammer, even the fur, but the torso section looks in comparison so unfinished. It really wouldn't help a painter to make a decent job, and discourages me from trying...

The miniature is by no means bad, but just take a look on the Enigma minotaur and how the anatomy is refined there. That makes a BIG difference for painters like myself.

thanks for all comments
Bohun - in my opinion I made all what I like do on this minotaurs , it is rather indywidual taste how should be finished surface of skin.
I decide that big monster shoud get skin with texture. But it is my personal oppinion I know that many people think that it is good idea , it is imposible make miniature good for all. If You like to see quality paintjob on minotaur You have one on previus page - made by Roland.
Meybe my minotaurs are not good for Your style of painting but it is "Your" Style not style of all painters:)
Minotaur of Enigma has for example dog face with eyes placent on front not on back of skull like eyes of cow .
It is not good decision in my opinnion but it is only "my" subjective opinion. Minotaur is not real creature , so it is sculptor desision.
I realy respect Your oppinion and from Your point of view You are right but from my point I have my own conception of sculpting.

@Maru - you're right with the He-Man thing

@Scibor - that's an interesting remark about things like the eyes. I wouldn't even think about it myself, but it's good to know some extra information from the sculptor about his inspirations and reasons of some decisions. Or at least it's interesting for me

well i must admit that thous Minotaurs are first i like to buy for my Mordheim bestman Warband .. well i liked a Cow maid from "R" .. but that whas just hilarious model
But :
first 1 - Vargar from "R" (limited Wulfen mini)
secound 1 - prist of Sigmar with hammer (or He Man - preffere He Man ^-^ )
third - dunno dont c to much on Wip photo

@ Bohun - compare thous to new GW relise end spell again QUALITY

Btw what size they are ??

@ Scibor: No argument about the head, as I had stated, I really like it. I made the comparison with Enigma minotaur in aspect of the anatomy, especially torso, and that had been my only issue. Off course it is only from my point of view, I'm sure others will find it more than satisfying. I'm in no position to force you to change your attitude towards sculpting. I intended only a constructive criticism from my point of view, since nobody made any remark about that.

As for the paintjob it's quite nice, but still doesn't make me change my oppinion. IMO the anatomy just doesn't look so realistic, no matter if it's human or not, all muscles are build in basically the same way, they are more round, the edges aren't that sharp. Anyway, as you have stated, it is what I like, the realism in anatomy, no matter if it's fantasy or not. It's just a painter's point of view.

@maru: Yeah, the new GW minos are just disgusting

That's pretty obvious that your expectations are high, Bohun. You're a great painter and why waste your time on models that you don't enjoy. You are good enough and your technique is good enough to do justice even to most demanding sculpts. So you want good sculpts...

Gamers on the other hand will want a bunch of characterful miniatures they will use for their units. These are all characterful and menacing. So they would make great minotaurs for every army or warband. I am sure these will be a bestseller soon!

And I am very happy to read such constructive opinions from people who are more knowledgeable than me...
