    Nice already.

    What did you use for the bases?

    Thank you.

    The base is made with simple cork board. Once glued to the base, I chip out my desired pattern with a hobby knife and then seal everything with 2 coats of Varathane polyurethane varnish.

    Great models. I still have 3 of these to paint up. A lot bigger than the original Bull centaurs from GW

    Shame they don't cause impact hits like Mournfang Cavarly do. :(

    I think they are some of the very best from the Forge World Chaos Dwarf range. And they are definitely beefy models, they fill out those 50x75mm bases quite nicely.

    Nice models!

    I like that you call them beef-y, them being part bulls :p

    Grrr, Imrahil

    They're pretty awesome once all the cleaning, assembly and gap filling are done!

    Ah, but can they bring home the beef in games (and not just when they fight Minotaurs)? :p

    Probably not as efficiently as I would like, but we'll see. That will be one of the key topics of exploration of my MathHammer Close Combat Bonus Matches thread. They have some solid stats on paper, but their abysmal two attacks per model will likely hinder them.

    When they were first created by GW, not many things had 2 attacks. Now however......
    An upgrade is obviously needed

    Though you'd have thought that given these are significantly bigger than the 4th Edition versions and were designed and released in the 8th Edition era (I think), GW would have given them an additional attack to hold out against other Monstrous Beast and Monstrous Cavalry units.

    I've got the original Tamurkhan book some where. I'll have to look up what they had in that list

    More procrastination (should be painting my Magma Cannon), but at least it is hobby related.
    A big 100x150mm base for my K'daai Destroyer (for scale, the bull centaur is sitting on already pretty large 50x75mm base)...

    PXL_20210822_032556690.jpg

    It's hard to see on the picture, but for the Destroyer base, I went with a double layer of cork board to give it a little be more depth. It's been sealed with two coats of varnish. Might add a skull to the central platform, and then it will be ready for undercoating and paint!

    A base fit for a champion! Finished the base for my K'daai Destroyer. (now I just have to finish painting the actual Destroyer :p).

    Thank you! I'm glad you like it. :)

    It took me way too much time to paint. :oops: I got to get this Destroyer completed if I am to have any chance of reaching my 1000 point goal by years end. Odds are slowly stacking up against me.
