Minotaurs, but do them all  :D

I'm putting some Mongols in the mounted category, I'll decide which ones when I get them  :!! ;)

Looking forward to seeing them :-bd

I cannot wait to get my hands on the Mongols; been far too long a wait (I fully understand the time pressures on clone central...not having a pop, just excited). ;)

agreed!

I've just been painting a load of Norman knights with just 2 poses  :(. Having so many variants on the Mongols is going to be a luxury.

It's sad that I'm excited by this  :D

Too true; will make the finished army look really "hordey" 8)

Well, their dream was granted. Even the old sculpts had two variants, firing and advancing. If you add the figures in peaked caps in the more modern sculpts in the German/Prussian line then there are two more, marching and on guard.    LUXURY,  :D

That said, it would be great if the command could be redone with the officer in cap.

Yes, they are quite "special" aren't they?  Can you tell the difference between the helmet for 1866 and the model 1867 for 1870 in 10mm scale?   Not sure I can, and the Saxons for 1870 are very nice.

okay this line made me look up the picture of the cavalry! Seems easily fixed by bending some legs.

Been there, done that!   They still look a bit odd, rather stiff as if riding to attention on a fairground roundabout!    The world has moved on a bit since then - I was perfectly happy with them when they arrived.

Can't we choose something that doesn't begin with 'M'?

I have realised that my vote for minotaurs comes with an ulterior motive or two:
One, it will give me competition in the fantasy section, although Fred and I are not planning to repeat the 2013 'Dragon Off' it would be nice to have a friendly side challenge, but mine won't be minotaurs or wyrms. Maybe a flying snake or three!

I think I'm going to enter 'em anyway along with the poll winner (Mongol peasants as it stands).   :-bd
