Hey guys. Just started painting and making my CD army. This is the rough colour scheme I’ve come up with. Dark red plate, golden/brass mail.
Any feed back on the colours? (obviously this isn’t a finished model, so no need to criticise my painting skill… just yet.)

I like it, but than it is a lot like mine!
thomasthefinch:
haha! It does indeed. Pure coincidence though, I swear.

I like the paint scheme the colours work really well together, cant wait to see more of your work 
thomasthefinch:
Here is the first model, finished.
I think I am quite happy with the general feel of it, but maybe I need a better highlight colour on the armour. The highlight is too bright.

DAGabriel:
As said before, I like the coloring. What I miss is a bit of zenithal lighting.
Abecedar:
Yours looks great. I think picking a colour scheme is the hardest thing to do. I spent hours trolling through the galleries and army blogs and still couldn’t decide what I wanted. In the end an old football jersey gave me a starting point.

Here is a couple of pictures of my first Bull Centaur!

Grimbold Blackhammer:
It’s a good first attempt but the proportions look a bit…off? Maybe it’s just me or the angle of the photo or something.

Willmark:
I’ll echo Grimbolds sentiments. Good stuff here, but the scale seems a bit “off”. Case in point on the Bull centaur the arms in particular seem out of proportion.
Are those orc arms?
thomasthefinch:
I think maybe you guys haven’t realised what I have made these things from.
It’s one of the new boars from the boar boys kit, and the body half is actually a full Ogre.
I decided that a horse body was A) Too small for a 50mm base monster B) looks too much like a horse rather than a bull.
I tried with a marauder body, but the boar models are just too huge to make this work.
I figured these things are really - creatures of chaos. I think that having what looks like a giant dwarf can just be justified as horrific sorcerer prophet experiments.
khedyarl:
I think the problem that people are having is due to the picture, the angle makes the front end look far larger than the back end. I know how big the new boars are, so I think it’s probably a very good fit for the ogre torso, but if you could take a shot of the mini from a side angle, that would be great, and we could get a better idea of scale.
The beard ringlets are looking good!
thomasthefinch:
Ok guys I based it and started painting it, I think this gives a better idea of proportion. Personally, I am quite happy with it. I’m hoping the lack of approval was down to bad photos!
vulcanologist:
Those are
Better photos! Looks very nice!
Zanko:
That guy remembers me of the good old times with Boar Centaurs! :cheers
Go on with your great work - I’m curious to see more different Centaurs!
:hashut
gIL^:
Very original friend. your centaur is missing something though i think it’s a hat or a helm
khedyarl:
Yeah, I figured it was the pictures. I really like the scale of the conversion, it looks physically imposing, and about as dwarf-statured as a Centaur is going to get.
beefcake:
I was thinking of making bull centaurs with the boars too only I was going to use black orc bodies and arms and ogre heads.

Kera smiles (you mean a boar centaur )
I love the use of the ogre and O&G boar it great work
he kick ass
