Fantasy - The Thunderstrike Tribe.

A rage filled roar and the thunder of iron shod hooves are often the closest warnings of attack from the Thunderstrike Ogor-Centaurs.

Although, if you have ignored the other signs, such as the massive dust cloud which marks their presence. And the preponderance of Thunderclouds which follow them, then no-one in the realms will have much sympathy for you.

A relatively new tribe to the area, the Ogor-Centaur species has an ancient history. Their oral history reaches back all the way to the Age of Myth, their ancestors once turning their back upon ''The Lightbringer" and being cursed for doing so.

Worshipping "The Stormlord" as they have done for ages past, they see the new "Lightning Men" as thieves, stealing the essence of the Stormlord in their weapons and reforging. As such, they do not hesitate to attack on sight, if any Stormcast are nearby.

So, here we have some more finished fantasy models. These I am very pleased with.

I have always wanted a unit of Dragon-Ogres from GW, but I am unwilling to pay the £45 or so price tag, when I could come up with something converted for less...

They started out as some 54mm Centaur models made from a crappy soft plastic from a Russian company I got off eBay for less then £5 (including postage).

Converting what are little better then children's toys into something approaching a proper wargaming mini was a simple matter of gathering a few cast off Ogre bits from a friend and then taking the clippers to the "toys". Something I wasn't worried about doing as they were so cheap.

I'm sure you will agree that the results are far better then imagination would give credit

Painting wise, I decided in the end to go for a generic normal horse type scheme (which I found a very good tutorial for HORSE PAINTING GUIDE in order that these models could be used in AoS, 1page, Fantastic SAGA, D&D, etc

These models also tick off a second box for my Hobby Bingo challenge:

The convert a model box is now marked up.
I always like to keep an eye out for toys and other bits which may potentially be converted into uses within this hobby of ours.

Well, until next time...
