In the earliest renditions of Blood on the Sands, fantasy always played a large part in the game and as the basic rules edge closer to completion, I can't help but think back to those days. I have again started toying with the idea of bringing BotS into the realm of fantasy again, but it will always remain primarily a "historical" set of rules.
To help test out some of the special rules that would be required, I have roped in a new, willing and bloodthirsty assistant. At a recent local convention I acquired a Reaper minotaur, a figure I have always coveted for just such a purpose and inspired by the find, even found the time to paint him up. I present to you "Taurus Maximus". (Click the images to enlarge)
