Centigors (Throwing Axes)

Centigors (Throwing Axes) is a Beastmen melee cavalry unit in the Beastmen Total War: Warhammer downloadable content. A Centigor charges the enemy battle line, great weapon in hand, delivering oblivion to its foes.

Description
Centigors are a disturbing cross between four-legged creatures, such as horses and oxen, and the bipedal beasts of Chaos, merged together by the Ruinous Powers in ages past. They possess the hindquarters and forelegs of their quadruped ancestors, granting them great speed and strength, but the upper body of a humanoid, with which they wield brutal weapons. Strong, vital and crude, these beast-centaurs are powerful creatures. However, they are not especially agile, and while they have great strength they lack the dexterity to manipulate objects with any skill or control. Centigors are bitter and spiteful, resenting their clumsy, awkward nature, and harbour a deep jealousy of creatures whose minds and bodies are better matched. As the sun rises and the warherds march from the herdstone to make war upon man, the Centigors rouse themselves from their stupors, taking up the weapons of the Beastmen and galloping to war beside them.

Strategy
This is the Beastmen's primary response to large armored targets. They are practically a must pick against factions like Lizardmen. They are fast, mobile, and pack a hefty armour piercing punch. Their range is not very far, so they have to be used skillfully. They also do not have the most ammo, and their primary targets have a ton of health. So consider keeping them off fire at will and only use their ammunition when an ideal target is available.
