Whilst Minions is a general term for underlings in common parlance as a whole, here on 1d4chan, we're using it to talk about one of the factions of Warmahordes by Privateer Press. Essentially the Mercenaries analogue for the Hordes line, Minions represent various lesser races of humanoids on Immoren who aren't powerful enough to be a full-fledged army (although eventually that changed, so now you can field all-Minions armies), but instead often get hired as extra muscle by the other beast-focused factions or sometimes even the human factions, since Hordes and Warmachine are cross-compatible that way.
The Minions faction is broken into three subfactions; "True" Minions - units of really minor races or characters who can be taken by other Horde factions as mercenaries, the Gatorman Blindwater Congregation and the Farrow Thornfall Alliance, these latter two subfactions representing once-minor races growing in power amongst the wilderness of Western Immoren. There's a certain degree of overlap; many units or charactres associated with the Congregation and the Alliance can also be taken as mercenaries by the other Hordes forces.
The Minions force debuted in HORDES: Primal Mk II, with new units being added in the HORDES Mk II: Domination, Gargantuans, Exigence and Devastation supplements. If someone on /tg/ is instead referring to the horrible yellow tictac people from Despicable Me in a non-negative fashion, it is considered morally righteous to shoot them in the face.
