[Archive] Say yes to RedBull Centaur!

thrawn:

i don’t think they’re available yet.

Murdock129:

They look like they’d fit well in an Ogre Army, maybe counts as Mournfangs

Aside from Scale and the dinky shields and axes (was hoping for a shaggoth style giant axe myself) their not too bad, not as good as the rest of the range besides perhaps Pan in the deathshrieker kit, but still good enough to be worth getting IMHO

Skullking:

I love the models! Really hope they make some weapon and command options though. I would love it if these guys were just the rank and file BC’s, and there’s a command set AND a special Tau’ruk (sp?) yet to be seen. Either way, I will be ordering these beauties when the Destroyer is finally released, along with plenty of other monstrous Arcanum stuff. Speaking of which, are the BC’s stats a whole lot better in that book? Might account for their huge size increase if they’re Storm of Magic all stars, but I doubt they’re that much better.

As some have mentioned, you could put 2 of the old BC’s on one base to fill it out more, although, I think you might be able to fit the whirlwind or tenderizer on one of those bases too, which might look cool in a unit. These may also be temp bases too, perhaps they’ll end up being on 50x50 in the end, but we’ll see. I think they’ll look a bit more Chaos dwarfish, once they’re painted up and put next to other chaos dwarf army models. All we seen of them so far are the bare grey casts surrounded by monsters, so they just seem more monstrous.

gIL^:

Sry Skulk There the same, But missing the command option, spear upgrade and no access to magic banners. So even worse :smiley:

Eggs:

I really like the poses.  One of the best things is the action setting.  I also like the variation from the dwarfish attributes IMHO.

fattdex:

They are good but i have already converted some big ones. the 75mm base is annoying as i have already based them 50. I’d get a single figure for a Ta’ruk though.

Hi there.

We don't have a release date as yet for them but we are hoping for some time within the next three months.


KramDratta
3 months, so Games Day then.....

Cheers

Baggronor:

Totally getting some of these.

Irritating that they originally confirmed 50mmx50mm bases though. :~

MLP:

Really not happy with how they look, it’s all been said before but they look too big and not nearly Chaos Dwarf enough.

And the base size is actually ridiculous for the stats, there’s monstrous models on 40x40mm which are better than these guys.

I’m keeping my classics and not rebasing them from 50x50mm

Baggronor:

All MI is better, at least at killing things. Maneaters stats make BCs look stupid.

I do like the models though, shame it would have to be 4000pts before I use them...

Animatone:

If the stats were anything like the model it would probably look something like this…

Forge World Murder Bullcentaurs M:7 WS:4 BS:3 S:5 T:5 W:3 I:3 A:4 Ld:8, Special Rules: Fear, Impact Hits (D3), Devastating Charge, Immune to Psychology! 60pts

Now we’d be talking… and not about how ridiculous they look.

Animatone
Take off Dev. charge, the ItP and the impact hits...
45points, & you got yourself a deal!

KramDratta:

One thing I can’t understand is the Ld8 (apart from the troop type of Monstrous Beasts instead of Cavalry)

They are supposed to be the elite of the Chaos Dwarfs, and are the only ones with the privelege to guard the Hashut’s temple, yet they are easier to panic than normal Infernal Guard, who are now deemed to be as ‘enslaved’ Chaos Dwarfs.

KramDratta
in the new fluff they are more beast than dwarf

IzNoGood:

Like Fattdex said. I think they look good and very dynamic, so would consider getting one for a Taur’ruk. Would need to convert a realy big hat though, otherwise it would just not be proper! :slight_smile:

I begrudgingly rebased a few on 50x50, but 50x75 is just stupid, just like the genius who put the hellcannon on 100X150.

KramDratta:

IzNoGood
Could not agree more :)

KramDratta
Rules are rules =) Hellcannons base is 100x150 write a letter

The Besieger:

Hmmm i fear there will no Bull Centaur Command group.

Lets hope i’m wrong. :slight_smile:

Vogon:

Got an answer from FW no Great Weapon or command options. Hand Weapon and shield only I’m afraid.

Cheers
