**RiTides** :
I will be placing a FW order late next month, and need to decide if I want to order the Taurus. I think I do not… I am just not a big fan of the model.
I’m considering the OOP / GW one, as well.
I’m willing to pay the same price to buy components to do a really good conversion (i.e. I’m not trying to save money) but I haven’t found any really convincing bulls. Lots of toys, but not detailed enough.
Anyone have ideas / links to fantastic bulls that have been used for conversions (not low detailed toys)?

**RiTides** :
Thanks guys :). I like the Sphere Wars one the best, but it seems very hard to find…

**Skink** :
Or search for the OOP one on e-bay. Ironically, because people can buy the FW model, old Great Tauri go relatively cheap these days. You can find a couple for 50-60 dollars.

**RiTides** :
Well, I got smitten with the Sphere Wars bull. Found in stock and ordered from Battlefield Berlin for $50 USD shipped.
Any idea of a set of wings that would be the right scale? Thinking of using the ones from the big Vampire Counts Terrorgheist, but not sure if they’d be oversized.

**Jake** :
It’s not as big as one thinks - you may, as I, just be able to fit it on a 40x40 base. The wings I used are the black dragon wings, I seem to remember.
I made it into a flying doombull, like so:

**RiTides** :
Jake, that looks fantastic! I have bid on a set on eBay ending tomorrow (no one bid against me, please ;)) so hopefully I can do the exact same conversion. Did you have trouble attaching the wings / have to do anything creative there?

**Jake** :
Thanks, I’m very happy with it. Haven’t played beasts since made it though… Should probably do that, so I can try it out.
RiTdes: nah, nothing much. Just pin the wings and smooth out with green stuff. Very easy. It’s going to be fun to see your version

**RiTides** :
I won the wings! :cheers

A little pricier than I’d hoped, but worth it! The second highest bidder had the exact same maximum bid as mine ($22.22, oddly enough!) but I won since I placed the bid first!
Now for the waiting… I imagine it’ll be a few weeks until the bull arrives from Germany.

**RiTides** :
I received the bull already! Only 10 days after ordering, 8 days after being invoiced and paying. Very impressed 🙂
Here’s the link, it’s still listed as in-stock if anyone else was considering getting one:
