Poor, poor horses, I like the look, but the size of the regular horse body with the torso really makes the centaurs look a little oversized. Especially if you are used to the centuars made by Onishi Shingi and copied into an army by me. :D

I'D have a hard time doing this to brown horses, but black or white horses I have enough to risk a few, but I think I'll stick to my style of centaurs, cheaper and easier on the old ticker. :wink:

I would NEVER do such an evil, evil thing!

Actually though, these look pretty good, but why would ANYONE sabotage horses, when they could have made centaurs another way?

The poor, poor, horses.

Kewl beans! Wish I had done it first, if only to shock the narrow-minded.

Kind of unfair to use my quote, when just about everyone sounded rather shocked. Not that I really care, but considering that I'm a moderate (okay, very conservative) customizer, it hardly seems fair to pick on me.

But don't get the wrong impression. I may be getting bolder, but I nowhere's near the point where I'll chop up horses. Never will be, either. I need those horses in their original form.

I don't know why anyone is mad about this. This guy is using his toys in the way that he chooses to. Customized or not, I doubt the horses would have or will ever leave his collection, so nobody is losing anything by him customizing them. Besides, if you ask me, the end result is rather cool.

I don't think anyone was mad, just a little shocked. The end result is pretty cool, but we feel badly for the poor horses. :wink:

You should be proud! I quoted you for no other reasons than you had the most colorful denunciation of the conversions. :D

Anyway, the comments were only meant in jest, and anyone expressing "shock" at the conversions are more than welcome to consider my comments as aimed at them instead. :wink:

(winky is there to let everyone in that a joke is being perpetrated here and not to take me too terribly seriously)
