Norm the yellow minotaur first showed up in a Pathfinder game run by my friend Chris. (This is the game Zinnia [link] was from.) Norm was a minotaur monster we were supposed to fight, but instead Zinnia charmed him, convinced him we were his best friends, and got him to fight along with us. He confided in her that his favorite color was yellow, so Zinnia on the spot gave him her hat of disguise, allowing Norm to choose to forever look yellow!

Now, Norm has become the cleric/sacred fist character of my friend Jody in our round robin level 20 D&D 3.5 game. He follows the teachings of Charlie [link] and this mini is Jody's Christmas present this year! Norm is a Reaper Bones minotaur miniature with his weapons (and one hand) replaced by bitz from the ever popular bitz box of Warhammer leftovers! This includes a great maul weapon from the Giant, and a punching dagger from the Ogre Kingdoms. Norm's tattoos are a heart that says "Mom," an anchor, and the Greek for "Charlie" across his back. (At least, according to the internet, that's what it says.) Like my paint job on Charlie, this one cracked for some reason. Charlie and Norm are my first tries at painting Bones miniatures, so maybe it's just that my old, cheap acrylics (replacing them soon, I swear!) don't work well on flexible plastic minis. I don't know. Since I've got 100+ Bones minis coming to me in March, I'll have plenty of time to figure it out, I guess.

I'm delighted to say that Jody, like everyone else who got minis from me this year, loved his present. :)

Awesome backstory! I love the yellow!

You're going to want to upgrade your paints for bones. I know that Reaper's paint line is formulated to work on bones without any basing. I haven't painted anything from the bones line yet (though I need to for that March delivery), so I don't know how P3 or Citadel paints work on them, but I imagine they would work better then crafting acrylics.

For more info on the bones line, check out the reaper forums at reapermini.com/forum

Lots of helpful people there =)

Many thanks! Yes, I've done some miniature paint brands investigation, and the Reaper paint series seems to be the best for the price, so I'm going to be purchasing a paint set from their color choices when I (hopefully) get a massive tax refund around February--just in time for my March mini madness! So it sounds like everything will be working out just fine in the end. :)
