Re: Centigor pictures
Damn that is pretty red, man. Actually it's kind of cool. If you did that color or something similar and red to all your beastmen it would make a nice unifying color scheme. Consider the way you painted your minotaur. Maybe you should paint all of your beastmen with the same color hair and clothes (gray) as your minotaur. I've seen the way you do your dwarves and I think you like to try and vary all the models a lot (this one with a red shirt, this one with a green cape, etc.) but if you did all of their loin clothes and hair gray the warband would look very cohesive.
For the horns, I think you left too much of the previous color showing, and the white is too bright. However I didn't realize the horns were ringed like that. For those ringed horns you may wish to paint them differently than what I described to you.
Here's a link to the GWS "How to paint Beastmen" which describes how they do horns. Basically you end up painting each ring individually but it's not as bad as it sounds.
"Carefully stripe the model's horns with Scorched Brown as opposed to painting them all one color. This step gives your paint scheme more depth."
"Going back to the model's horns, use Bestial Brown to apply rings to the areas you painted Scorched Brown."

If you want them to be more "horn" colour then basecoat with bestial brown. Then do bubonic brown or snakebite leather (or some medium yellow brown) followed by bleached bone high lights. Link for painting teeth and claws.

It's hard to tell from the picture but I can't see much definition in the muscles on his chest and arms, you may want to try and leave more of the darker undercoat showing there.
Is that last picture showing that you blacked him out and are starting over?

Re: Centigor pictures
i kinda agree wit alec about the shield, but what i think could fix it is a little blood splatter/stains to make it not only less bright but also way more awesome
