While not technically a Command Horizon subject, this is pretty close.

Today, when I arrived home, there was a package from Baccus waiting for me.  It included some actual Command Horizon models, but I'm sure you all know how cool those are.

What was ultra-cool, were the Sci Fi Centaurs!

The model range from which Command Horizon was born originally contained "classical" style sci fi Centaurs.

Peter at Baccus does not intend to include these in the CH range.  He has a different vision for his centaurs which I'm sure we will all love.

However, he was kind enough to produce a batch of the originals for me and they are great!  The lot includes standard infantry, Command units, and Heavy Weapons troops.  I'm very pleased.  

To keep from losing money, he had to produce them in a lot of 100 minis, which is exacly what I had in mind.  The batch was also very reasonably priced.

I'm not even going to bother trying to take pics.  Wish I could, but I suck.  However, if there is enough interest, I'm willing to mail samples to someone in the US, pay postage both ways, and let them take pics.

I'd also like to mention that I bought some of Baccus' fantasy goblins.  They are quite nice.  They'd make pretty good Grots for Epic.  Nice enough, I might even consider a small force of Space Goblins. :alien:

Much better than those from Irregular.  I really wish Baccus had the fantasy selection Irregular has.  Baccus quality is FAR superior.

I strongly encourage everyone to take a close look at these.

@Zap123, I think these might work OK as Bull Centaurs.  The torsos aren't very long, and could pass for a C-Squat.

I'd love to see a picture of those centaurs. Taking the gobbos for epic grots is a great idea. Why didn't I think of that? Now I have to order again :p

Well, I didn't want to volunteer anyone, but I was hoping... :devil:

Ok, I'll send samples to O-man and let him take some pics.  I'll include the goblins too.

@Zap123
I'm not sure about the Zoats.  The legs aren't really long and might pass as bulls, but I don't know if they are thick enough for Zoats.  I'll let you judge for yourself from the pics.

These arrived yesterday. The detail on the Centaurs is quite good. Consectari is letting me smear manure on them to help with the photography.

No, wait. Ink. It's ink, not manure.

Consectari and I are having bandwidth problems, so maybe TC can come to our aid.

The next three pictures were taken with 3 different exposure settings using my digital crapamera's manual controls.

The originals have 4 times the area and about 2 times the resolution; these are paired down for purposes of sharing. Which of the three exposures look best?

The background is a dull green paper. It's sold for painters to mask off large areas, but I use it to protect my work table.

The centaurs themselves were very lustrous, so I got permission from Consectari and inked them for better photography.

At the owners request, I started separating them for eventual face-on pictures. However, some are rather close together, and I became timid.
