My First Centaur
« on: 28 April 2015, 07:49:02 PM »
I'm currently building an Ancient Greek Myth army to work with the Lion Rampant rules. For my heavy cavalry, I'm planning on using Centaurs. I have just finished building my first one out of a variety of Wargames Factory parts.



More photos and discussions of the project on my blog:

I plan something similar for my Greek OGAM force when I get around to it.

Echoing the earlier comments, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.   8)

Nice-looking centaur. I saw him already on your blog. I am looking forward to see it in colour.

Great painting and a good idea to make Centauers with plastics.

Cool looking centaur.that gs join between man and horse turned out really well.I'm not very experienced with gs and was not brave enough to attempt natural looking cloth folds so went with fur for my own centaur conversions (Wargames Factory Persian horses with a mixture of hoplites and amazons) Makes them look a bit wild but it still works
