[Archive] My converted Bullcentaurs

HPN:

Here i’m :hat off to start, please forgive my English, i will do my best, but it’s not my native language…
If i remember well this is my first post here, even if i read the community since quite long, and get lot of inspirations from it!
Well, i’m working on my all-converted army of chaos dwarfs, mainly based on skullpass models, and featuring hell-cannon like masked dwarfs, so no big hats. The unit that i have in WIP now is the bull centaur one, since i have though for long on how to do them properly, and finally took a decision that satisfies me, getting all the needed bits…
Just one thing i have always knew about my bullcentaurs… They would have been HUGE and scary, able to stand over the most common kind of opponents on the battlefield, and well, here’s the results by now…
(last two pics are about my Shadow Sorcerer, just to show :slight_smile: and theres a scale-refence pic).

Just 5 of them are finished, the other 5 are still wip!

Cool constructions dude, keep the pictures comming and welkom to the forum (:

[edit] well that doesnt seem to work, my bad, still cool pictures though [/edit]

nitroglysarine:

looking really cool, very dramatic poses, i’d be tempted to do some sclae mail on the horse bodies to give them sme more bulk, make them more dwarfish.

great work!

Redhammer:

Fantastic start! Great models, I hope to see more in the future!

Zanthrax:

Nice work.

I look forward to seeing them painted up.:cheers

Thats one hell of a cool looking Sorcerer :slight_smile:

Have you been player AC lately? because his mask reminds me of the doctors from AC2/ACB.

Cheers mate

lolz. me too.

Because my mask is inspired by the masks used by Doctors during the Plague Epidemic, that usually has a longer “nose”…

But it’s clear that both have the same inspiration ^^

I have made it for two reason, first i have always found that mask incredibly scary, even if closed inside a museum and second, to reasonably have a switchable shadow/death sorcerer

About the colors, to fit the unit in the army, probably the armor would be painted in red, with all the chainmail and metal details in bronze. I would go for black for the bull bodies, and a dark skintone for the upper part, (mainly the arms, since other parts are covered).

I’m also looking for ideas for the standard…since i love freehands, but still haven’t found anything interesting for this unit…

I have completed the beards on the other five models, next step would be making the five remaining masks!

Thorne:

Not too shabby some dynamic posing going on too.

Merchant:

It is the same mask used in the game as during the plague - but anyway it is still one hell of a great conversion :slight_smile:

Cheers mate :smiley:

HPN:

Here the rest of my conversion work on them :smiley:

Yeah it's something with imageshack. No sure why that is. If you use photo bucket they work.

vulcanologist:

Great conversions!! I love them… Can’t wait to see them painted!

Glimpse the Void:

These are really sweet. Do you guys think sort of conversion would work using the the torsos and arms that come with the chaos knight box set?

They seem ideal as they come with the horses in a box set that is relatively cheap. I am sure the black orc torsos and arms are better as they are nice and beefy, but do you guys think it would work if you wanted to save a little money buy not buying the Orc bits?

Necrotique:

Hot damn dude, those look awesome! Especially the sorceror. Has the same “mask feel” as the apophecarys frrom Assasins creed (which fits well with the foreign/ Babylonian imagery) Well done dude. Was the sorceror modelled on the bfsp slayer?

:cheers

Mosk:

Those look great man. I really like how dynamic the posses are. Much larger than the pony ones I am making.

caos dwrf:

this is really well done. do want.
