While this might look like a sudden burst of productivity, I have to admit these were mostly painted over a month ago… I’ve only just finished them off…
I have for a long time dreamt
about having a Centaur army for HOTT/DBA – modeled on Skythians (all Light
Horse or Riders – galloping to and fro…). I think even before I was aware HOTT
existed I thought of doing a DBA army of all “Cavalry” and/or “Light Horse” –
based on Mongols or Skythians or something similar. Now, finally I have enough
to field an army of them…
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version)
This batch is all figures from Wargames
Foundry.
This batch is all figures from Mega
Miniatures.
Here they are with the rest of the elements I currently
have…
The army consists of :
1x Knight or Rider General (or Cavalry General in DBA)
1x Magician
7-8x Riders (Light Horse in DBA)
1-2x Shooters (Allied Satyr Archers – to give the army
something to deal with stuff in bad-going)
I’ve also thought of adding some wolves (Beasts) as an
optional element to give them some ability to deal with things in bad-going
that are also FAST!
I have another six or seven stands worth of Centaurs yet to
paint – but I was trying to go for a distinctly Ancient Greek look for these –
and the other dozen or so Centaurs I have are in a mix of plate and chain mail
with weapons and shields the definitely do not look Ancient Greek-ish. Perhaps
they’ll show up in a Narnian army… or eventually a second entire Centaur army…?
There are actually a few other
Centaurs I’d like to pick up to add to this army… I like the look of the ones
from Eureka
Miniatures and Black
Hat Miniatures. It’d be nice to have a stand or two of each… Just to
have some more variety and fill out the twelve complete stands of Riders/Light
Horse.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Hmmmm… Probably WW2-ish stuff…
or Amazons… or Greek Hoplites…
I have to say I’m pretty stoked
about the immanent release of the Savage Worlds version of Three
Kings (The link is for the CoC version) - the first adventure for
the ACHTUNG!
CTHULHU! setting. So expect a few more WW2 and unspeakable horror
minis in the not-too-distant future…
Nice army; marvelous work on the shield patterns. Best, Dean
