[Archive] Ishkur's Bull Centaurs WIP - ideas / feedback needed

torn:

cant wait to see them painted, they have turned out really well.

as for the ranking problem, you could always make them a movement tray which the bases fit into with a slight gap between each one.

Xander:

Looking sweet man! Can’t wait to see them painted! :slight_smile: They look mean and nasty! :smiley:

Hammerhand:

They look awesome. I love the ‘classical’ theme to the armour/decoration. They look very renaisance, I love them!

Ishkur Cinderhat:

@torn: that’s a cool idea, I could actually make such a movement tray. This would make the whole regiment a big wider than the rules would allow, but with my gaming group I don’t see problem with that (they’ll allow most stuff as long as it looks cool ^^)

@Hammerhand: thanks! :slight_smile: I didn’t have anything ‘classical’ in mind specifically, but I’m glad you like it.

Obsidian:

Cool, very original with what I have seen done with Bull Centaurs so far!

Canix:

Great scuplts cant wait to see them painted :hat off

The wide stancefront leg bull looks a bit funny but  hey thats a minor thing

Kera foehunter:

those are so perfict . don’t have to say anything else

GRNDL:

/cries

/gives up.

AGPO:

Oh dear god…whimper please tell me you’re selling the moulds! Thre’s nothing for it now, you’ll HAVe to make a command and a couple of heroes

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Hehe, yeah I figured a command group will be needed one day! Send some ideas for the champion - and what instrument the musician should have. :cheers

I have sort of moved away from the mould-selling idea. How many Bull Centaurs does anyone ever need? Five or max. ten of them? Doesn’t make a mould worthwile for many people. Selling the casts seems no problem, as I have been able to solve most of the really big air bubble problems.

AGPO:

Champion: Not sure what you could do posewise with the ranking issues, so I’d stand him on a big rock to give you room to manouvre. The great axe over the head is a classic for a reason and intricate armour would be a good sign of rank.

The musician should have a horn - drums are too awkward for cavalry

minty:

hmmmmmm, champ should have a big two handed scimitar, and extra amour, pluss a rock of course

Banner should be a giant bull head

musiscian should have a horn, or to ake a page from brets, a banjo/electric guiar thing

Willmark:

Those guys are awesome. The only critism I have is that the lower bodies are awesome but a few seem to be a bit static. One in particular is the one with both front feet down.

But hey what the hell do I know? These guys are great

AGPO:

A problem easily fixed, but the ones with the hoof raised do look a lot more dynamic. As evidence that a static pose doesn’t detract from a great model I give you:

id give the champion some headgear, to mark him out from the crowd. im not too sure about a musicians intrusment, a horn would be good because then he could still hold something in his other hand. what else is there really apart from drums and horns unless you want a pansy minstrel in your warband?

Well there are many things he could have... a gong for example, or a bell or stuff..

As for the feet - there are only two bodies really. One is the standing one, the other one is pretty much the same, with a leg lifted and the tail position changed a bit.

AGPO:

!!! Ishkur give him a cow bell!!

Canix:

I vote jingling johnny (lots of bells) :hat

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Oh boy… what have I done! :smiley:

Xander:

Gotta have more cowbell.
