Painting A Centaur

[punkrabbitt]

OK, so I needed a Centaur miniature for Reasons. I wanted one quite a while back, and even bought one from Reaper Miniatures https://www.reapermini.com/ but it wound up in the back of a box and sat unremembered for a few years. So, when I needed it, it was there for me. I'm just happy I remembered I had it before I ran off and bought a new one.











As a Reaper Bones model, the spear was very bendy, and so I replaced it with a plastic one of almost the exact same length from Fireforge Games. Pro tip: never throw any leftover parts away! I then based him on a 60mm x 35mm GW-style oval base; I trimmed off most of the integral base that was molded with the model.











Painting the model was very basic: I blocked the colors, I applied the secret Shading Wash (homemade, none of that fancy store-bought stuff,) and highlighted him. I hope you like the finished product!

I like the dynamic nature of the centaur! Usually, they’re just chest up, looking all haughty, not this charging angry centaur.

Well done. Great job. Hope he avails himself well on the Battlefield.

This is a pretty nice model. All of the Reaper Centaurs are pretty dynamic. I just hope he is reasonably compatible with the box of RGD Centaurs I just ordered...

You are a painter after my own heart:  basic block paint, followed by The Dip Technique, brushed on, matte clear coat afterwards.

I am an army painter, so this is really my style -- home run!  Looks superb.  Cheers!

Thank you! I used to be a fiddly detail painter, but this way is do much quicker and easier!
