Great bat rep - really liked reading that. And good looking figures too.

Do you think the Taurians need some Centaurs to give them a bit of mobility. I've found the minotaurs with Fierce and Fear and Powerful, really strong, especially if they can get a direct charge in. But it seems the goblins numbers told in the end, even after loosing their commander.

I'm using 'themed' army lists for this campaign. This particular band of Taurians are renegades drawing their numbers from leaderless clans of minotaurs. Yes they're a bit one dimensional, hence Bull in a China Shop approach ;)

I think the taurians are mobile enough as is, you just have too few of them and have to be careful of shooting to which they are very vulnerable.

The main Taurian Warband in the campaign is much more diverse - including Centaurs, mystical beasts and giants
