New "Blood Bowl" Minotaur by Impact

[Malebolgia]

Since its been so quiet here lately ... I thought I'd give a sneak peek at the new Minotaur that we have coming out very soon.

The sculptor is Pierre Francois Jacquet from France (who also sculpted the Dwarf team we have coming out soon).

This is just one of the 5 heads that this Minotaur can come with. You'll be able to purchase him with a specific head or with all 5 heads. In just several minutes of work I was able to use a 1/8" bit in a Dremel to drill out the body and then each of the 5 heads and glued 1/8" neo magnets that Impact! will soon carry in each of the 6 holes (do the body first and then double check the polarity before the glue harden). Now I can choose the head for mine that I want to use for EACH game he plays in. (I'm doing the same technique with the arms and cockpits for my Contraptions for the Gnome team).

Enjoy

I like it. It is nicely sculpted with a great pose, plus the head options are great. I picked up Elfball at Gencon this year and it is a pretty cool game. I wonder which team he plays for?

Also as a hater of TU, I have to point out that the the Texas longhorn is not a bull, he is a steer. In other words he has no nuts.

I'm not a huge fan of this sculpt, it just seems to soft and cartoony for my tastes:|

Seems his nose/muzzle is a bit short, being one of my fav monsters, I will pick him up.

they guys at impact seem to like the old (2nd edition BB minis) ... well, I don't. The pose is a nice idea, a 3 pt stance is rarely seen on a BB mini. But they are better overall minotaurs for BB around: Heresy ahs two nice ones and the Grashnak starplayer grom GW is a nice one as well ...
