Now that the Minotaur is a semi-official PC race for D&D from the online Unearthed Arcana, I thought I should paint up my Reaper Minotaurs in case any of my players wants to try one. I am generally not opposed to creature races and I generally like "kitchen sink" campaign settings, but...the Minotaur is way out there.
The is the Minotaur from the first Reaper Bones. Very Greek, looks like something Kratos would fight.
From the second Reaper Bones are these two Minotaurs. On the left, is a failed experiment. I wanted a white bull as a Minotaur, but I struggled with the armor. I probably should have gone with an iron black look, but a did a blue glaze over chainmail silver and arrived at a neat way to do metallic colors. It still doesn't look right for the bull, but on another figure it would work. On the right is a basic gladiator type, pefect for a PC barbarian or fighter.
And from the back...
Other beastmen types:
The goatmen might make a good substitute for smaller, PC sized Minotaurs. Keeping them as goatmen, you could replace the Goring Rush feature with a Climb feat - move up rocky and sheer surfaces at normal speed. Less practical than the Minotaur, but a cool companion for a mountain dwarf.
