Hello,
I finished a small pack of Centaurs. I wish they counted as mounted, for the points, but I can't find any legal precedence to make the worth more than five points a piece.
Here's a picture of them all together. Everyone but the standard bearer is a Mega-Mini. I have no idea if Mega-Minis bought the molds from someone else, or has since sold them. Mega-Minis have great stuff, but their catalog constantly changes.
Here's a couple that are quite Greek looking
Here's the standard bearer and one that almost appears Asian. The standard bearer is an old Ral Partha or Grenadier sculpt; I wonder if Tom Meir made it. It may be quite rare, as I can't find much on them using the Google machine.
Here are a couple evil looking centaurs. I was debating calling them Anti-heroes for Curt; I simply can't think of anything clever for the Anti-hero challenge submission.
Here's a few more classical style centaurs; they strike me far more like the wild ones of myth, who get violently drunk and go on booze-induced rape and killing sprees. Then Heracles or someone will have to kill them all with poison or tricks.
Love and Kisses,
Baconfat

From Curt:
Awesome! I really like seeing all these various interpretations of centaurs - very cool. Your banner bearer conversion worked out very well and, yes, he does have a Tom Meir look about him.
In regards to points, I'll split the difference with you James, so 7 points each plus a bit more for the standard bearer conversion.
Great job!
Those are just great. I'm collecting sources of centaur models as I want to do a skirmish warband some time soon. I hadn't though of Mega minis, so thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of figures. All the better with the great painting as well. Never seen these before. Cheers
ReplyDeleteFantastic work James :)
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a herd. I have always liked centaurs but have never thought to paint a herd.
ReplyDeletereally nice stuff, very unusual figures but a cracking mix of styles. Great paintjobs too.
ReplyDeleteLove them, I may just have to look into getting one or two for my campaign

Very cool figures. 7 points per figure seems like a fair compromise, and well earned.
ReplyDeleteThey are very nice, and cool!
