[Archive] BALE TAURUS up for preorder!

vulcanologist:

Does anyone know if their second release is going to be a different sculpt or just the same with a rider? And has anyone actually seen the rider?

Hazkar:

Hmm…Not really a fan of that beast

zhatan87:

Already seen, but a beautiful model. Price is ok.

clam:

Probably a great sculpted bull in there somewhere - but all that weird armoury and those re-enforcements ruin this model for me :frowning:



Proof, were it needed, that taste is not so much subjective as it is completely nonsensical. I’m not massively sold on the Bale Taurus, but saying the Scibor monstrosity even compares to it is utterly laughable. At least the WF one is sculpted.



Thommy H
Welcome back, Thommy - glad to see you are back in shape :smiley:

Baggronor:

I really like it. Will probably end up buying it and adding to the enormous pile of unopened stuff in my studio. Sigh.

Thommy H:

Welcome back, Thommy - glad to see you are back in shape :D

I never left! Seriously though, that was a bit harsh - I'll confess to being slightly drunk when I posted it. The point is that it's leagues ahead of Scibor's static, disjointed-winged thing with its press-moulded armour. I think the Bale Taurus looks goofy but there's a good sculpt underneath it all.

Zanko:

I’m not sure how to judge this model! :~

I like some aspects but there are also many details I don’t like (the horns, the pose, the armour, …).

I think I will wait till I see a fully painted model and then decide if I will buy one or not! :wink:

khedyarl:

I’m finding that the more I look at it, the more I like it. That said, this may be a case of Forgeworld picture syndrome. Many of their items look passable until they are in the “flesh” - the 2d angles of pictures simply may not be doing it justice.

Anyone think they know how large it is in comparison to, say, the new Ogre beast? {It’s the only monster I can think of offhand that is quite as… solid as the Taurus}.

Grimstonefire:

Anyone happen to know if the Bale Taurus can even be taken unridden?

This doesn’t use the GT SoM rules right?

There was talk of a special character unridden one. That would mean this bale taurus would be the unridden one, also the ridden one plus Cinderbreath???

Thommy H:

I think it’ll be a Rare choice and/or a Scroll of Binding.

Baggronor:

I think they did a very good job considering what the creature is. Its damn difficult to make a cow with wings look feasible, let alone good.

Well, considering thats a chariot base its mounted on, it must be pretty damn big. The body looks about the same size as the Thunderhorn's (I fought the new Ogre beasties on Wednesday so I've seen it up close). Its BIG.

fonejaker:

I think im going to stick with my Taurus ancient (hence the reason its so big)

ITS STILL VERY WIP

AND IT FITS ON A CHARIOT BASE

Grimstonefire:

If I were you I’d make him frown, or put some armour plating on the head.

Incidently, someone on warseer I think was saying the bale taurus comes with alternate horns and wings?? Anyone else heard this?

News to me. I actually don't mind the wings but the horns are a bit iffy.

Consider this idea stolen ;p

I like the idea of the carved horns, but yeah, would rather have regular ones too.
