Red Giant and White Dwarf


If you're thinking you've seen this Minotaur before...you're right! In prepping for the recently held birthday Blood Bowl bash I decided to re-base my Minotaur. Originally he was slated to play for my Chaos team, but they got sold and he didn't have a home. No problem, the Chaos Dwarves were more than happy to sign him. Well, he's a big model no doubt about it, and I needed to slim up his base for sure. A metal washer later and he's good to go.



I couldn't bring myself to field anything unpainted at the tournament so I set about painting the last of my Chaos Dwarf blockers. He was primed white for so long I had to keep something to honor that. Also, instead of using a Lego cowboy hat this time I opted for a regular hairpiece, it's an interesting look for him. His nickname will be "the Coif", and I kept his beard and hair white to honor his longstanding unpainted status.

  1. Hahaahaha, love all the white to honour his being stuck in "primed" status. He looks ready to be shot out of a cannon! You should get an earthshaker model if you ever build them a custom pitch!

  3. That is some nice hair. Certain better than the stock chaos dwarf hats. For events he is a great guy to but a skill on so you do not forget where it is.

    I got a nice chaos dwarf team in the summer from Gaspez arts through Impact! but Impact! has stopped carrying it due to some issues with Gaspez. I need to get some pics of the set up.

  4. @Warflake: Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for the props on the minotaur, it was a Reaper model and they make 'em pretty well.

    @Brad: I'd like to see that team, I heard of it but haven't seen it. I need to figure out what team I'll do next after my Chaos Dwarves get their fill.

    @Tristan: I used to have one of those actually! That's a great idea, the goggles really help it along too.

  5. I remember when you could field a cannon to shot players across the field in second edition. There was also the chaos see saw.
