From PaulO'G: Centigors! (50 points)

I've posted a few Warhammer Beastmen in previous challenges and this one will be no different!  Presenting five Centigors, twisted versions of the Centaur that are prone to drunkenness and fits of rage. Thus, they can be a bit fickle as the light cavalry component of the army. Then again, one doesn't play Beastmen to be super competitive... 

These are older, metal GW sculpts so provide some gratifying heft when picking them up
But 5 isn't enough to make one's enemies quail in fear! They join 5 I did mid-year as a second hand stall rescue, as well as the Centigor hero Ghorrus Warhoof. 

Ghorrus wields his mighty Mansplitter club and his head is adorned with the skull of a Unicorn Lord of which it is said that: 

Atop his scalp Ghorros wears the broken skull of Arsil, the Prince of Unicorns, who had an unfortunate encounter with Ghorros in a moonlit glade centuries ago. It still harbours some of the protective magic of its former owner

which goes to show that silly headwear is everywhere really!

these boys should make a dent when they hit!

Overall thats 5 mounted figs at 10 points each, adding 50 to my tally, plus a modest 3 skullz.  

More Beastie goodness to follow..

  2. Beautiful work on these Centigors, Paul. Hmm. I think I may have some of these sitting in my unpainted pile. Glorious metals castings. Can't beat 'em.

  3. These older Miniatures still ooze character and you've done them proud with that gorgeous paintjob. I do wonder whether the 🦄 hat makes Chorus fart 🌈 s now...

  5. Nice work on these Paul. It’s important to have the right hat for the occasion. Plus a man’s best defence against a woman is his hat, he should grab it and run.

    1. Oh absolutely! One normally sees more lace and feathery accoutrements though - the 'skulls of worthy enemies' look is hard to pull off with aplomb :-)

    1. Thanks Iain! These guys lean more toward drinking than skull collecting as a hobby :-)
