Perfectly understandable and practical modifications to your bolt throwers. But I dunno about all this teasing, it just ain’t right!

Hashut’s Blessing:
Teasing isn’t what men do. they give the whole shabang Show us what we want!
Willmark:
LMAO!
Only reason for the teases is that I don’t have them finished! I still dont; I painted them quite a bit last night, but they are still not done. Right now they are my sole painting focus. Finishing them tonight is optimistic thou. I think I can finish 7 BCs plus the leader. But don’t think I can finish the standard bearer and musician. They both need a lot more detail work.
clam:
PLEASE, Willmark - please! Throw the hungry crowd a bone!
Willmark:
UPDATE
Here it is… the ones you have been waiting for, and no jokes this time. For all intents and purposes they are done. I only have to finish the banner. I ran out of time tonight so rather then rush I decided to wait till Wednesday (my next opportunity to paint) to hopefully finish that. I still have to root around my bitz box for something to stick on the ends as of the banner pole as well.
Sorry the WIP pics aren’t better. Once I finished sculpting them I was in a rush to get them primed so I forgot to take, a “gray and green series of them”.
The big problem I ran into is I had to change my idea for the picture that was going on the banner… I’m going to use that for my GHV entry!
Sorry I couldn’t hit my Sunday deadline. as I type this its 12:17 EST, and I’m a bit tired. Wow 2,000+ points? Who would of thunk it?
So without further delay here is my Pulper inspired Bull Centaurs! Also there is a small homage to AGPO on several of the Bull Centaurs, lets see if anyone can guess what it is…
I hope they live up to the hype! (gulp) Lastly, I have to get a better camera, the one I’m using is making the red look horrid in these photos
Hashut’s Blessing:
DAYUM! Looks brilliant! I like the addition of a couple more marauder banners to make it wider. The only thing I could say to improve it, is that there may be too much gold. Only thing is, I don’t know what colour you should put where… It has been worth the wait though and I can imagine what the real red looks like, if that helps
al-hashut:
from a fluff point of view i would say that as these are hashuts chosen, they should be bathed in gold as far as weapons and armour are concerned. From an aesthetic point of view, i agree with Hashut Blessings point. Perhaps you could try some coppor/iron detailing, just to break up the solid colour, but also to make the remaining gold ‘pop’ a bit more.
Nonetheless, lovely centaurs Willmark
Xander:
Haha, nice! They remind me of my one-of Bull Centaur.
Willmark:
Thanks guys. The camera is really making these guys look like crap! So I’m getting a new Kodak Z710 10x zoom 6.1 MP. Need it for upcoming vacation… Plus GHV
dancehat:
I´d probably try to get a shot of them in daylight with no flash at all. Best quality by far, alternatively a daylight lamp.
Besides that, looking good good. Luv them bases.

Khan!:
The conversions look very nice, I particularly like the one fellow in the first rank with the raised axe. I definitely like the general scheme (red/gold) but the red on the bull-parts themselves seems a bit bright. Is that just the camera or were you going for a blood red finish? If I were to offer any criticism it would just be that the red could go a bit darker imo.
cornixt:
Don’t save the pictures as gifs, that format isn’t very good for wide ranges of colours and they come up grainy (which was how I noticed). Just use high quality jpgs. They look good, need something that isn’t gold on them though.
Willmark:
Thanks for your views/comments/constructive criticism guys! The biggest problem is I’m using a POS 1.3 MP camera that is old like 8 years old. Looks like the the new camera is a go.
Good point Cornixt I was using gifs for the upload speeds. I’ll try jpegs. Better camera will make them look much better I’m thinking thou too
Dino:
Holy crap, i’ve been gone for way to long.
Ok lets get to how awsome youre Bull Centaurs are. They are so awsome I nearly shat myself. Nice job.
wallacer:
Very nice indeed.
The green stuffing came out well.
clam:
Finally Willmark (and thx!). They look brilliant :hat off
- and now, a picture to do them justice! - please :hat
Grimstonefire:
Based on Willmarks description of what is now painted (the photos are probably all in this thread anyway, but 11 pages to check…), we can now award him with the Silver Medal for army collecting (2000 points)!
Willmark:
Again thanks guys!
Khan: They actually have a great deal of shading. I used a dark red washes for the shadow areas and orange for highlights. Its just you can’t see it in the photos!
Canix:
Cool stuff Willmark i am liking those bull centaurs alot:hat off
seems i have been neglecting my stunty friends;)
AGPO:
Awesome!!! I was gutted the site was down but its a real treat to see all the cool stuff you guys have come up with. Still hunting for the boar centaur tribute though…
