that is true, however, my reasoning was as follows:

Kera's BCs used Gor legs which was my initial inspiration for these, so I wanted to emulate those, and I had 10 Gors spare from my beasmen army.... surely a sign from Hashut himself that this project was meant to be!
also, I wanted cloven hooves, which horses dont have, so I would have to cut the horse hooves to give the desired effect.
Finally, when i was talking with starscream bout how to do some BC when I made my first few CD as per Xander's video tutorial, we decided that the plastic Empire horse was too large for this project and the BFSP pony was too small (which i discovered AFTER trimming all the details off... grumble!).
so that left the LOTR horse bodies as they are sized between the two.

Im pleased with results so far.

I just wish I had a holiday in for this afternoon so I could go home and do some more work with them!

BTW, when they are built, should I post the pictures of the paint jobs in this thread, or should I post a new thread?

there i was, mindlessly chatting away...

Superfella: "so I'm gonna try Keras bc thing, i have some spare skeletal steeds i can flesh out with green stuff"

Me: "nah that'll be difficult".

Superfella: "What do you reckon then".

Me: "Rohan horses would be about right".

Superfella: "yeah that could work, I could get some of those".

Me: (still not awake) " oh I have some ".

Superfella: "yoink!"

and that dear readers is how my never-really-got-off-the-ground Rohan army lost their rides. Take this as a warning, never let someones enthusiasm take advantage of your hungover state or you'll lose your minis.....

... I got my own back when he let it slip yesterday he has 3 unused Chimera (and me having just bought some steel legion?  Suits you sir!

well I have now finished the first model bar the axe head, but the macro function on my camera has decided not to play nice, so Im afraid the picture quality is terrible, even worse than my mobile phone's camera.

I will "obtain" my other half's camera over the weekend and post better shots, as you cant make out all the details on the armour / beard from the ones I got.

if you want them Hashuts blessing you are welcome to them.

ok, well, i have now finished two of my bull centaurs, a standard BC and the unit musician.

photos below!

btw, i have added a weapon head to the standard BC now, will get a pic asap.

let me know what you guys think!

nice one matey. Keep going.

thanks guys.

i planned to have them finished yesterday, but i mis-judged how much green stuff I had left.

one of the guys from my games club is bringing me some on tuesday and my better half is going away for the weekend, so I dont see any reason why this time next week they couldnt be finished.

ah well another weekend over.

the good news is that the unit is now finished and ready for painting.

the bad news being i wont have the photos for you all to drool over until tomorrow night, as the camera on my mobile really doesnt do justice to all the effort I have put into this project.

anyways, stay tuned people!

ok, Superfellas having, erm "technical difficultys" so hes emailed me the pics to post.

They look rather spiffing.

hehe yeah, im not sure whet im doing wrong, but its wontl et me upload any photos at the moment.

anyways, above, as posted by starscream, are the finished coversion pictures. hopefully i will start the paint job on them soon and further pictures will be posted as and when i take them.

i shall do my very best not to disappoint!
