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.
