Could do with some feedback, gang.
With the Taurian command group.......
The 'musician'......I can only see as having a bloomin' great drum.
The standard bearer......A cross piece pole.....But with 'what' dangling from it (steady, chaps)....or do I leave it plain ?
I think I've sussed out a decent 'runestone' for the mages......But any ideas/inspiration would be useful.
Cheers - Phil
I would either go with flappy banner material, ragged and vaguely triangular, or the old stalwart of a line of severed heads tied on by hair!
+1 on the banner ideas
For the rune stone labyrinthine style motifs would be good.
Ta, Both.
That's not a million mies away from what I was thinking, regarding the 'flappy' banner. :)
Also makes life easier for Dave, regarding the moulding, as I can use the banner as a 'feed' to the crosspiece.
A labyrinth on the stone ?
Definite possibility, Forbes. :-bd
My original thought was an ancient 'stylized' bull's head to get away from yet another 'rock'.
(I've done something different with the High Elves.).....But you've got me thinking now.
Cheers - Phil
Crosspiece with a flappy banner sounds good. What about doing it out of fur or human skin?
I'll have a go at making it look like 'skin' to start with....Though at this scale, I'm not sure how successfully it would come out.
If it looks cruddy, I can soon 'skin' it again to make it look like fur.
Cheers - Phil
How about for the Runestone as they are based on Greek legends a Mycenean bull's head statue?

I would go with Mad Lemmys ideas, they sound good to me.

Musician(s): big horn: bull or ram; or mega pan-pipes?
Standard: a *golden* fleece, with ram's head?
The 'cap' for the rune stone could be an over-sized bull skull.
Cheers,
Meirion
Standard - bulls head on a stick, head somewhat like this(?) Perhaps with a string of severed heads wound round the pole for strength when casting?

Musician - huge drum(s), large (cow)bell or .... a vuvuzela :)
Runestone - I did one for a friends Minotaur HotT army. I went for a fairly natural looking "monolith" (think Heel Stone from Stonehenge but about twice the size to scale) with a jumble of corpses/ skeletons at the base as sacrifices and an image of the minotaur god "carved" on front - actually the head of a GW Slaneshi demon painted to look like part of the stone.

big blue beard for the musician/sorceror minotaur
Phil, the Taurians are based heavily on Geometric Greek myths.
Labyrinths, Minoan bull icons, etc. will be perfect.
Musician would look good with a huge pan flute, a lyre, or something akin to a big horn.
Banner - how about a disc with a maze or labyrinth on it? Maybe festooned with heads...
