Building 16k Warhammer Fantasy My First Converted Centigor

If you haven’t read the first two installments of this article you might want to start there.

 

I have gone ahead and converted a Ellyrian Reaver into a Centigor.  Since, I am not very artsy I am quite happy with the result.  I even think it is a better representation of the what I believe a Centigor should look like than the actual models.   Below I will give you the step by step instructions that I used followed by a gallery of photos.

First, you need to grab a Reaver and a pair of nippers.

• Then you nip off the spear neatly.   Make sure you save it.  I used it on the finished product
• Next nip off the head and neck of the horse.
• Hack off the body of the elf.
• And finally chop off the front legs of your horse.

Second Clean up

• In this stage you clean up any unwanted parts of the model.  That is you grind, knife, or file the parts that need to disappear.  There are quit a few, but the plastic is softer than a lot of other GW plastic.  That makes it easy to knife.
• I removed the elf legs, a small portion of the armor (Centigors have light armor), as much of the saddle as possible, and a small part of the tail to make it look more beastly.

Third the Build

• In this stage I glued on the Gor legs, torso, head and arms.
• I used the shield to cove a large smooth part on the Gor.
• For the arms I used one weaponless arm and a spear arm.  Remember I told you I used the spear.  I didn’t lie.  I glued it on another Converted Centigor that has 2 axes instead  of  a spear.  i will get picks soon.
• I also glued 2 axes to the side of the Centigor conversion and one great axe.  Nowmy Centigor can be used as any build.

Fourth the Putty

• Looking back at this I should have done the sculpting before gluing on the arms and weapons.  If I would have waited I would have been able to do a better job sculpting.

Fifth Clean up

’nuff said.  It really was pretty easy, and I encourage any player  who wants Centigors to build them.  I paid 10.00 for the bits to make 5.  I think I have done just fine with my money.
