![]() ![]() ![]() Width measurements are approximate and from furthest extended limbs, not including weapons. Hight measurements are taken from the bottom of the Sole/Foot/Hoof to the eyeline. The Model is placed on top of a 50mm black square. Like the Demon King, this is another large and impressive figure that one would expect would cost much more in another venue. Also, the strong sideways-looking pose would make it look a bit odd in a rank-and-flank game as it would probably be positioned on a base such that it would not be facing forward. I should point out that this is the figure most reflecting the Asian theme of the game so it might not slide as easily as the other figures into a traditional Chaos and/or Beastman army. Does have some prominent mold lines though, especially on the outer arms and there is a notable joint on the back of the model that will need a bit of filler.Ħ) Kei Lun Heavenly Creature (JD Celestial Bull Demon) A real centerpiece and yet -as will be seen below- it's compact enough to be based up for the battlefield. The detail is fantastic and he's the sort of figure that one might expect to pay a considerable price for if it wasn't a board game figure. ![]() I'm not sure exactly what he will be (maybe a giant), but I want this figure in my army. (Anybody got some big weapons to trade.?)ĥ) Koorogg the Bull Demon King (JD Koorogg Minotaur Lord) Will be pulling one shield off of each figure and putting a large hand weapon in it's place. As seen above I have removed the one from the right arm and it does not mar the sculpting of the arms or hands at all. Note that the shields (comes with one on each wrist) are only attached at the wristbands. I'm not sure whether the long lateral join at the lower chest will require some filling or will be adequately hidden by paint. This has good sculpting and almost as good mold line minimization as the Oni shown earlier. In addition to the two in the army pack, I purchased 4 more for a full "Horde" of 6. I plan to use them as "Frostfang Cavalry" in my Kings of War Varangur army. These are the figures I was most interested in. The primitive knife strapped to the back of his belt is a nice touch.Ĥ) Boof Bullzerkers (Minotaur Bull Centaurs) Some of the best minimization of mold lines and parts joins as well. I plan to see if one or two of these can be converted to holding hand weapons.ģ) Borrak Bull Generals (JD Minotaur Oni General)Ī very impressive minotaur warrior with a great headdress. The part joins are fairly obvious, the sculpt seems a bit awkward and the drawing-an-arrow is less desirable for a figure that is repeated. Though it maintains the same high quality sculpting as the rest, this is perhaps the weakest of the reviewed figures. Some obvious mold lines are present, but nothing too bad.Ģ) Bharhaz Bull Archers (JD Minotaur Archers) The most numerous figure in the set, some weapon swaps and maybe a bit of arm repositioning would go a long way towards differentiating them from each other. These might be used for a unit of "The Fallen", a unit in the Kings of War Varangur army list that currently has no art or miniatures. Height/Scale Comparisons are further down in part II.ġ) Berrok Bull Warriors (JD Minotaur Club Warriors) I will list the game's name for each miniature as well as what Tritex are calling them. I was also very impressed by Tritex's cheap shipping from the UK which was only 5 GBP and the figures arrived in about a week. Tritex has also broken up sets and so I was able to purchase several additional Centaurs individually. It's an incredible value, even more so when you see the quality and size of the figures in the review below. Thanks to a post on the Lead Adventure forum I purchased their "Mega Deal" of 14 figures for 20gbp With a bit of searching you can sometimes find it for near that price today, but if you just want to jump right to the figures -or to get extra of specific figures, then Tritex Games has what you are looking for. The core game comes with Minotaurs of several types, Centaurs, a minotaur lord and a Demon Dragon which will be reviewed here as well as some characters and a smaller demon that I did not purchase.Ī few years back the game was apparently on sale for around 25 bucks. It didn't exactly take the boardgaming world by storm, but it did produce some very nice hard plastic figures. Such is the case with " Journey Wrath of Demons". This has been the case for many years (there are a lot of 1990s Battle Masters figures in my Chaos/Varangur army), but as production values increase, boardgame figures are being produced that rival some contemporary wargaming miniatures. For the cheapskate gamer, boardgames can sometimes be an excellent, if under-appreciated, source of miniatures. ![]()
