actually I like the minotaurs [insert embarased green guy picture]  :)
they are not suberb but in my opinion better than most of their older counterparts (and I'm also including the 80's stuff).
but I must admit that they have a cartoonish side just like most of their minis, which is something that I like from them and fit nicelly if you like some cartoon look on your fantasy minis.

note: I'm not advocating the devil ... it's just something on personal taste, the odds are that I'm not going to buy them because they are very expensive and there are a lot of better minotaurs in the market for a better price, but they look nice to me  :)
Cheers,

if it is plastics, it is of course different, but then the price should fit....

They certainly seem to have disappeared up their own rear orifice with this one  :o

WFB seems to be getting more cartoony and unappealing to me with each release :(  Shame really, as the fairly recent revamped plastic Chaos Warrior box is really nice and works well with the more ... erm...."restrained" fantasy ranges.

With this and the ridiculous prices of the newer Lord Of The Rings releases, I can't see me giving them much custom this year. I just hope they don't "improve" the Tau, as they are my current favourite for higher tech aliens in 5150.

Oh well.

Be afraid...
It seems they're more busy with reworking existing stuff than creating something new  :-[
I am wondering if we'll see a new Codex: Space Marines or Orks this year  ;)

I agree with the comment about the 'masters of the universe' action figure pose.  I nearly fell off me chair when I read that!!  lol

 I still like a lot of their figs I will admit but I am definately no fan of their pricing, especially in the case of the LOTR range.

For me, the deal-breaker was the blood knights that were released with the re-worked 'Vampire Counts' book. $117 CDN (at the time) for five models that frankly suck!!! I was living in Halifax at the time and saw the kit being assembled by the bunker staff prior to release (for display). I recall a substantial amount of putty work required to make the damn things paintable. Shite kit and the price utterly utterly ludicrous...  ::)

For the first time ever these true Children of Chaos have their own, stand-alone army list. Warhammer Armies: Beastmen is full of unruly herds, twisted monsters and gargantuan beasts.
 
As far as I'm aware they're now even lying about their own products I seem to remember a Beastman army book having been already produced.

Actually I think they are referencing that previous book allowed the mix of the three chaos armies, you can’t anymore, not really a improvement…
