Dark Heaven Bones: Brass Bull

Tired of the old minotaur. Your dungeon can use a twist. Details and durability is perfect.

Good, solid, beefy (ha!) model, playing to the strengths of Reaper's "Bones" line. I hate to imagine what it would be like to try to deal with a PEWTER version of this same model (probably hollow multi-part, and STILL weighing a ton), but it works great in plastic. The integral base looks like cracked tiles and incorporates nicely if you want to glue the thing down onto a larger base (square or round) for particular game systems. I've painted this same model up in multiple ways. For one, I first base-coated it a pewter grey, then painted in bronze and highlighted with Inca Gold, for a very quick paint job with a striking look. For another, I did a conversion to make a "mutant bull" (two-headed) for a retro post-apocalyptic setting, painting it up in mahogany/red with nice results. The "scales" help to break up what might otherwise be large, smooth surfaces, making it very easy to achieve interesting looks with simple wash-and-drybrush, but of course more detailed work can have its place. It makes for an impressive model on the table even with the most basic paint job, for a pretty good price as miniatures of this size go.

This beast is imposing and has a nice pose along with some great details in its sculpt. The base it's attached to looks nice too and is aged tile.

This is a hefty miniature with a finely detailed sculpt. Either as a construct, gorgon, Devil's bull, or other bovine terror, this mini will fit the bill. Once painted up (mine in fiery red) and the highlighted and dry-brushed, it looks truly imposing.
