Avatars Of War Kickstart A Regiment Of Mighty Minotaurs!

July 11, 2023 by brennon

Avatars Of War are on Kickstarter right now with a project which is looking to get a set of physical Minotaur miniatures crafted for use in your 28mm Fantasy wargames. There are three regiments which are in the works which should allow you to build a mighty army of monstrous warriors for Warhammer, the 9th Age and beyond.

Legendary Minotaur Regiment // Avatars Of War

This campaign is going to be aiding the creation of a series of multi-part Thermoplastic Resin miniatures representing different Minotaurs. You'll get a whole host of different options for arming your Minotaurs with weapons like Hand Weapons & Shields, Great Weapons and Twin Weapons.

The miniatures are all sculpted by the fine hand of Felix Paniagua who has worked on the entire Avatars Of War range over the years. As a veteran of the industry, he has a particular style which creates excellent grimdark miniatures with a twist. He is then working with Luis Alemany in order to bring these SioCast miniatures to life on the tabletop.

Great Weapon Minotaurs // Avatars Of War

If you're looking to craft yourself an army of monstrous infantry then this is certainly the place to rock up to. You've got some awesome Minotaurs here which are ten times better than the Games Workshop ones and shouldn't break the bank either. As you can see, you get a load of options to tinker with which is key and the modular nature of the miniatures mean you can craft smaller units or big, monstrous regiments.

Two-Weapon Minotaurs // Avatars Of War

I really like the Hand Weapon & Shield variants of the Minotaurs allowing you to make a lot of "rank and file" armies using them. Whilst Minotaurs are often seen as something of a specialist unit in most armies, I do like the idea of running an entire army of these deadly creatures. Why settle for the weak and inferior beastfolk when you could bring proper, big slabs of muscle to the tabletop instead?

There are some great example videos of the finished miniatures over on the Kickstarter page and there are some samples shown off in images like the one below. It's nice to see how much of the detail has transferred from the render to the final product.

The Kickstarter still has around twenty-four days left for you to get involved at the time of writing so there's plenty of time to head on over and snap up a band of brutal, snorting Minotaurs. You can get one set or dive in and get four alongside all manner of Stretch Goals as they get unlocked. There is also a retailer pledge for those that would like to stock these in their shops.
