A Painting Riddle

So, I've been busy getting stuff ready for Bring Out Your Lead '14 and as part of that I committed to bringing a bunch of models to the siege of Avalone game. With that in mind, here's a question for you!

Question:
What has 12 mouths, 24 ribcages and 72 limbs?

Answer:
12 Centaurs. (If anybody wants to help me out with the four I'm missing, then let me know)

Centaur front rank including Beastman and Half-Daemon Heroes.
Centaur back rank including a really sweet archer model.

The full list I'll be taking for the Friday is as follows. Note that all the attributes have been randomly generated - as have the names - using the wonderfully long tables in Realms of Chaos. The only exceptions are the retinue rolls where I've just picked some models I'd like to bring with me.


Hammerblast Quakeeater - Centaur Hero 15 (190)

5 Centaurs - Double Handed Weapon, Light Armour (240)

5 Centaurs - Light Armour (200)

6 Giant Wolves (48) - Hammerblast's retinue

1 Direwolf (70) - Hammerblast's retinue

Total: 888

An auspicious total, I think this will bode well for the forces of Chaos!

  1. The forces of chaos get some serious light cavalry, nice looking too.

    1. Thank you, I'd been looking forward to getting some paint on these guys for quite some time now. Will be good to see how they do on the battlefield.

    2. Mine have always performed admirably, just don't try using them as heavy cavalry.

    3. I agree, even with 2 wounds each I don't see toughness 3 and a 6+ save as being very survivable. I'm hoping that they can mince light infantry on the charge though.

  2. Really a great unit...I feel that these centaurs are often over shadowed by Chaos Warriors and demons etc...but they are some of my absolute favorite chaos figures. Well done!

  3. BTW...which ones do you still need to complete your set?

    1. I'm still after: Two Heads and Axe, Tentacle Head, Minotaur Head and Spear, and Bow from this set: http://solegends.com/citcat912/c20278rccentaurs-h.htm

    2. I'm not 100% sure but I think I have a spare tentacle head. If I do I'll bring him along to BOYL so make sure you have your swaps ready.

    3. That sounds great, is there anything in particular that you would be after?

  4. Beauteous! I need more of these chaps in my life.

    1. Do it, they are quite simple models but they are a blast to paint!
