[Archive] Alternate Taurus

Grimstonefire:

Needs wings admittedly if you’re more a game than a collector…

Xerxis, Fury of Halaak | Privateer Press

TheHoodedMan:

A very nice model. Needs some creativity to image it flying. But it could be an awesome daemonic mount for a Khorne hero.

Mivrash Faz:

The mount looks nice, but I’ll pass on the rider with his crazy oversized flail:sick Look at the size of it. It’s as big as two CD’s, and I’m not talking about compact disks either. I mean really what would the Skorne Health and Safety Committee say about this? He is a prime candidate for a workplace injury. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in the making at the very least, and I’ll wager a slave that he’ll get a concussion the first time he tries to use this weapon.

Yodrin:

Thats an awesome model. Dunno about being a Taurus, but I very much agree on the Khorne hero thing;)

Geist:

A dwarf on that thing will be literally DWARFED!!! Also knowing privateer press it will weigh way way too much. Like kill a man kinda weight.

The only way to fly! A friend, in anger of loosing, broke bones in his hand on an old metal chaos lord. The lord was fine - just got another Eye of the Gods roll.

I think the model is really cool. It looks pretty much like an armored rhino - so in wondering about the 'battle engine' part of the name.

RiTides:

I was just coming to make a similar thread, so would you mind if I piggy-backed on this one? :hat off

What do you think about this sculpt, soon to be completed for Arena Rex by MIKH, as another alternate Taurus? You have to wait for the below .gif image to cycle through to the mounted model pics, but it seems to offer up the possibility of a really dynamic Taurus.

And that bull is Big! But not so big as the insane FW-sized one:



And an older WIP with the horns removed:

TheHoodedMan:

Very good find. This bull looks great and with some wings… BAM!

:cheers

Morgr Ashbeard:

Or even as Kdaii…painted in metallic skin etc…really like that bull!

Yodrin:

That bull is awesome. Some cool wings on it…yea!!

Grimstonefire:

It looks anatomically perfect, except that it doesn’t look very stable on the base?

Two and a half feet on the ground and heavily weighted on one side.

TheHoodedMan:

From behind it looks well balanced. That problem is manageable. Recommended retail price 45$ (according to kickstarter)

Great looking mini and the price is not bad. I agree the balance shouldn't be a problem if it's pinned and glued with epoxy.
