Thundering Hooves: Chaos Centaurs

Too wild and feckless to join any chaos war host for long, the chaos centaurs thunder over the great plains of the east, seeking for prey...

 Centaur warbands occasionally appear in the ranks of Buzzgobb Phesterlick's chaos horde as allies, but invariably part ways with the horde after a battle...they have small interest in serving any lord or champion for long.
 Centaurs are unmatched in their skills as scouts, skirmishers and foragers, and the Chaos champions of Lost Veguzz happily make use of their talents whenever possible.
 There have been reports of troops of centaurs riding with the Mad Hunt of chaos from time to time.  May the gods have pity on any poor souls who cross paths with the hunt while the centaurs ride with it...

Holy 80s, Batman!  I went a little over the top on this fellow.  I'm not sure what I was thinking.  He sticks out like a sore thumb in his unit.
The two-handed weapon troop...It took me a blasted long time to collect all these boys, but it was worth the wait.
This might be my favorite mini out of the bunch.  Maybe its the facial expression.
I like this guy, too, although there's something about his faces that makes me think of the muppets...
My Chaos horde is well past 3k points now but in all probability, I'll never stop adding to it.  GW just made too many wonderful chaos things back in the day.  I have a troop of harpies, a beastman regiment and a Tzeentchian sorcerer in a chariot on my short list of chaos models I want to get painted.  Hopefully I'll get around to them all during the winter.

    1. Thanks, buddy! Yes it took a long time to get them all together, but I'm glad I kept at it. The horde needed some cavalry types.

  2. Awesome! I love the zebra print guy; a whole unit would be too much but just 1 is perfect :)

    1. Glad you like him. I didn't want to go too crazy with the colors on the unit, but I knew I wanted a zebra guy in there somewhere. I think there's a zebra print centaur in one of the ROC books. That must be where I got the idea.

  3. What a great bunch of centaurs, Mouse!! And for some reason I imagine them playing really fab and raw rock-a-billy to unwind. Look forward to see them in action.
