Space Minotaurs from Warblade Miniatures
In my universe, these will be known as red bulls or red devils to some people, greebles in their own language. Though they may look fierce, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. They could be big tough guys, employed by those who want some muscle, good or bad. Or they could be easy-going, soft-hearted sidekick types. Depends on the situation and scenario, and which tropes one wants to lean into.
They were fun to paint. A nice change of pace from the usual sci-fi minis.
Here is a size comparison with an orc, a dwarf, and a human.
These have painted up very nicely. I look forward to seeing them in action. The height comparison was most interesting and useful.

Thanks, Alan. Yeah, I felt there was a need to show something for scale with these guys. They are big fellas.
DeleteGreat work Sir - I particularly like the Dwarf
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jack! I have a bunch of the space dwarves, painted up previously. Used some of them in a previous 5 Parsecs battle report.
DeleteLovely looking space dinos, nice comparison shot too!

Thanks, Iain!
DeleteI'm always on the lookout for different minis, especially ones that look old school and fun.
Oof! They are Big'uns! wouldn't want to meet one of them in a dark alley... or... even a well lit alley, for that matter!
ReplyDeleteGood to have on your side in a fight, I guess... maybe not so gracious at losing, though.
I can already imagine an interpreter droid suggesting to an astro-mechanical droid to adjust their strategy when playing tabletop holo games to let the Red Bull win... Red Bulls have been known to rip arms out of sockets when they lose... Too much caffeine, perhaps...?
Ha! Yeah, definitely full of character (and who knows what else).
