I am stealing your centaur idea! They look perfect. And they come with great weapons too!
Does anyone know if the marauder horses have their heads as separate bits? Chaos knight bodies look cooler, but the marauders are cheaper.

The armor helps a lot to make a “natural” junction between the two parts. I think it will be harder to do with a Marauder horse, the sculpting is more complex. My talents are not high enough to make the attempt. But feel free to reuse the idea. It’s an honor to be copied!

Seen maruader horse used for centigors. They are a lot slimmer and require bdtter green stuff work at the junction. Plus bull centaurs should have armor.
Chaos knight horses aren't that expensivd bought at a bits store. Horses are 1£ normally. And my store 'bits n kits' has 33% or 50% more than once a month. So really cheap.

I agree. I'm buying chaos knights. Buying mantic ogres and chaos knights is still cheaper than 6 chinese bull centaurs!
And these guys have greatweapons.
Sadly I don't know about any bits store around Oslo, or in Norway for that matter. Will google this.
@gIL^ : I’ll make you a photo, I have some old metal hobgoblins.
@Fuggit Khan : Thanks! I would like something different that the lava bases, but still chaotic.
I liked what Khaas did on his bases : link to his blog, unfortunately some pics have disappeared. Same technique was presented in this tuto, on CDO, made by Jake.
Here’s some paint found on Ebay. I paid mine £2.65.
I made a mistake because I took a silver colour, but once basecoated in black, it’s not a problem anymore.
@Admiral : Paintjob is not my favourite… But I choose this army because I like to convert (and dwarfs !). This site is a gold mine for someone like me!
I received my Titan Forge war machines this week-end. I started to assemble them. A small wash on hot water with soap because it’s made in resin and they are basecoated. But because you would have missed the details, here they were before :
@tjub : Unfortunately, I don’t know when they’ll be available. I know that they are still working on some units, and that they struggle to send orders to backers.
@JMR : Everything is not available actually. I could get my order because I asked only released minis.
@Herby : The magma cannon is the same size as the last metal dwarf cannon. This one (not mine) :
The rocket launcher is almost the same, because the bottom part is the same for every war machine. FW machines are very big!
They look good. I really like them. Boy but they are small! I thought that they were way bigger. Much bigger.

My exact thoughts as well...for some reason I was thinking they were Hellcannon size. But I like them! They look like really clean casts with good detail too. Nice additions to an army :cheers
...I'm curious, how many cast parts make up each war machine?
I spend a big part of my hobby time to paint as I don’t want to end with a never painted army, like my last army collected…
I have now 30 hobgoblins done (I need to take a pic or two).
Here is the war machines shown before. I admit I’ve been lazy
The deathshrieker :
The Magma cannon :
I also finished my first Centaur (but I forget his eye patch) !
I can’t show you the next war machine as it will be visible on the Golden Hat XXI.
Actually, on my todo queue, there is (ordered by priority) :
- paint two more centaurs ;
- paint 10 more hobgoblins ;
- next, maybe convert my khans or paint my sorcerer. If by any chance Avatars of War release and ship their Doomcrushers in time, I will have 30 Iron guard to convert…
