Hm. Well. They’re certainly Bull Centaurs.

Am I the only one that can’t stand the mantic heads. The rest of the miniature is fairly nice.

**Discoking** :
I’m with you Beefcake. Those heads are awful.
I like a bit of uniform in my army, & all these heads are awful.
I like big hats, & I like mask-helms even more;
But each individual hat on these is different.
Chaos Bretonnian Dwarfs!

**cornixt** :
The armour looks plain weird. Seems like a decent-size base for someone to convert a nice looking BC from though (assuming they want a cavalry sized one these days)

They’re not terrible but with Warhammer Forge Bull Centaurs getting close to release I think i’ll hang onto my money.

**Murdock129** :
I think I will personally buy them, their not the most gorgeous bull centaurs, but their definitely not bad, give them a head switch with some bighat heads and they’d fit well in my army
So yeah, I’m gonna buy them when they come out

**Vogon** :
I’m with Wallacer here. The rest of my army is Warhammer Forge and I know that Warhammer Forge Bull Centaurs are on the way so I’ll hang on until then.
In the mean time I’ll stick with my old GW ones
Cheers

**Vardan Painkiller** :
i think they are not “new” sculpts, i remember 5 half-breeds being included in some old deals
i also agree they are not the best as models, but great base for further adjustements

You're right, they have been included in some old deals iirc. There was a unit of 5 down at my local store and from what I can remember I found them to be somewhat smaller in size than for example GWs old Bull Centaurs.
I'm not going to buy these. I like the old GW Bull Centaurs better.

I generally don’t like Mantic’s armour but maybe the bodies might be of use.

Yep. Anywhere to see a sneak peak of the FW Bull Centaurs? or is that just wishful thinking.

**gIL^** :
The detail seems really soft, Just not very good, I can name 6 people in this community that can make better models and this is supposed to be a major company.
very disappointed Nothing compared to the great detail of their board game project pandora.

T-errible lumps of crap. Suit the rest of the abysmal dwarf range perfectly.

**Time of Madness** :
At least they have an “almost” complete range. I’m glad they are continuing to add to the range. Gives Chaos Dwarf players another option for a cheaper army.

I think the weapons handles look way too long also for the big head at the end.

Agree, this is a good thing.
Moreover, i personnaly think that Mantic's paintjob is pretty awful. Not technically, but something in their choice of colour or maybe pictures disturbs me.
Having a few Mantic Abyssals, i found them far nicer in real than in photos (and i'm not a great painter ;) )..
Of course those are probably the worst models of Centaurs existing, but i think they could look better once painted differently.
