Taurian Army for Warband - NOW WITH ADDED MINOTAORS!

Oh, the Wargames butterfly has flapped her wings!
As I  was painting cavalry for Clive's Renaissance Commission, these were sitting, needing painting, I decided to paint the horsey types at the same time..

Taurians are one of the more interesting ideas in Warband, a confederation of Minotaurs and Centaurs, wild and yet civilised in their own way. They are an expensive, heavy hitting and mobile force, but small in number compared to others. I've had the force a while, but not painted, until now!

So, the Centaurs:


Charge of the light brigade?

Centaur Knights - well, why wouldn't they strap on armour? The shield patterns are an abstract of mazes.


Centaur Warriors - a more classical view of the human-horse-hybrids.


Really like Phil's sculpts on these.

Centaur archers - think classic hunnic horse archer types, with better grooming!


Minotaurs are now finished!

 The Minotaurs - Three stands of warriors, a Shamen and a Chieftain.

Three stands of Warriors

 The Chieftain




The Shamen


Warriors with a hero


The whole Taurian Army, small in number, but very, very powerful in Warband!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.

Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard!

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...
