They're very good. I used old plastic gobbo wolf rider wolves for 'scurvy dogs' in a pirate army, and then did some with ribs showing so they could be used as dire wolves in my undead army. Nothing I did looks as good as these (the figures or the paintjob). Yeah, they're very close to the wolf sculpts (heaven knows I have enough of those!) but I really like these old metal sculpts. The new ones, not so much.

I got 5 more Minotaurs! Can't wait to get these guys painted up for a proper unit!

So I got my "Beastmen Spawn" (aka Netherhound) from Avatars of War. This is how he looks next to the Witch Hunter on 20mm base, I got from them as well. I still have a bit of gap filling to got on my Spawn. He just feels so much more Beastmen-y than the GW Spawn.

These two. Simple really! Thanks for posting this, I've only just found this after having searched for a while for makers of leaflitter flock. The best I've been able to find in the external world is some Hornby flock that is the right colour and is quite a dense material similar to your GF9 flock and I think that'll do, but I'm pleased to finally have found an alternative should that not be realistic enough.

I almost wish I’d gotten the Minotaurs from the same place as the 80% scale (or whatever it is) works so much better than the original scale from Zealot! Love the alternative Razorgor too. I was oblivious to that AoW model. How well did it go together/what was the cast like? I wasn’t that impressed with the salamander from them (I’ve probably been spoiled by gw plastics...)

I was oblivious to that AoW model. How well did it go together/what was the cast like? I wasn’t that impressed with the salamander from them (I’ve probably been spoiled by gw plastics...) Well, I'll be using him as a Chaos Spawn. I have 6 of the Meirce Razorgor that'll be in that role. He is a metal model, but went together pretty easily. Just gluing on the heads and allowing them to fully dry overnight. I think I used a mix of PVC glue (Elmer's) and super glue. I've found that combos for a strong 1-2 punch. The PVC tends to spread and allow for more elastic coverage while the super glue gives it a strong bond. Apply the PVC first, then a few drops of super for comprehensive coverage. Oh- and I'm loving the Ali Express Minotaurs. No problems whatsoever. Plus, they're SUPER cheap! The only confusion I had with them was that one model came with an extra arm part that didn't go with the model. Not really a problem, just gave me a "Huh?" moment.
