Does anyone else find it annoying when Centaurs are all about Lance Charges, when a lance charge would more than likely snap the spine of the upper torso?
>>43523888
Yeah, I also want to know where the vapid women are
>>43523888
How do you figure that centayrs are all about lance charges? I see them more as light cavalry skirmishers. They're literally figuratively barbarians.
>>43524002
>I see them more as light cavalry skirmishers.
Light Cavalry was largely lance charge focused, it was a fairly short period in europe where the idea of "Heavy" Lancers came into vogue, before and after which the need for cavalry staying mobile so they could exploit weaknesses in infantry lines became more important than getting more forceful charges.
>>43524174
Explain more about these "Heavy" Lances, I'm not understanding.
>>43523990
That is retarded. Why would anyone post let alone save that garbage?
do centaurs need heavy chiropractic care, their spines must be fucked
>>43524222
Big, heavy horses carrying big dudes in heavy armor who wield big, heavy lances.
Basically, somebody wanted to see how close to tournament jousting warfare could get before losing effectiveness and/or wanted an excuse to try and impale four guys at a time with sheer momentum.
Ultimately it turned out to be pretty effective for the charge itself, but the weight and rate of exhaustion proved too detrimental to effective positioning. It's better to have several weaker charges when and where you need them than it is to have a couple strong ones that are slower to get going, because if you take too long the opening you're charging towards is going to get closed back up.

I always saw them as horse archers and such skirmishers.
Noble centaurs on the other hand would be knights in heavy armor.

They probably have insane back musculature and a different bone structure
I think that if the shock from lance strikes was enough to snap a spine no one would have ever used them because they would be unhorsed every successful contact.

>They probably have insane back musculature and a different bone structure
So centaur girls always have amazingly toned backs. Nice. Shame about theHORSE PUSSY.
>>43524541
>because they would be unhorsed every successful contact
This is why stirrups were of such importance: they added stability, allowing you to be knocked back without being unhorsed per se.

Why would you have the heart in the human part and not in the horse part? If you're circulating a lot of blood to the body I figure being in the horse part allows it to be big enough to do the deed along with fuck huge lungs as well.
If Giraffes can manage this then it shouldn't be all that bad for a centaur.
>>43524541
It's enough to snap a spine at the wrong angle and dispersion. When a human holds the lance, the shock moves from arm to spine to hip to saddle and stirrups to straps to most of the horse's ribs. The human will move in relation to the horse (resisted then by the legs) long before the spine will break.
When a centaur holds the lance, it goes from arm to spine and stops. There's nowhere else for it to go, and the human torso can't shift to absorb the impact with breaking the spine.
>>43525293
>with breaking the spine.
*without breaking
>>43525124
Don't giraffes have their heart in their necks though?
>>43523888
No, because centaurs are all about bows, and also they're magical creatures that don't exist.
>>43525628

What kind of fairy pussy world do your centaurs live in?

Centaurs have spines that combine the best qualities of both a Human and a Horses producing an incredibly strong, durable, and insanely flexible spine- capable of twisting and turning 180 degrees comfortably.
Centaur spines in a way closely resemble the spine of the real world animal the "Hero Shrew": which possess an abnormally powerful spine that makes up 5% of the animal's body weight. Further more; it also allows the shrews body to withstand being crushed by over 1000x it's own body weight.
A 159lb man can stand and balance on one foot onto the Hero Shrew without harming the animal at all.
Similarly, but not to such an extreme; Centaur backs are perfectly capable of holding up their unique structural biology with minimal effort.

that's cool! nature is cool!

/tg/: Come for the horse pussy, stay for the anatomy lessons.

After 5 years on this board you are legally considered a fully qualified veterinarianin Iowa.
Arbitrarily reposting some centaur anatomy images I actualyl farmed from /tg/ about a year or so ago.
>>43527467
Centaurs must be able to haul huge ass amounts of weight then. Hey, could a centaur comfortably use it's own back as a desk/tabletop if it's fully capable of twisting 180 degrees?

I always figured centaurs to have 2 hearts, one up by the lungs to pump the main oxygen carrying air blood to the main heart to be distributed through the body. They'd have a main artery that runs right along the center of their torso/neck that connects the two.

Well that oughta shut up a LOT of people as far as "HURR DURR SPINES CANT WORK". Might not scale perfectly, but still.
>>43525410
No.
It's located in it's torso like most other, if not all, mammals.
They do have an intricate valve system to get blood up there and back and to prevent them from getting dizzy spells and fainting when they bend down to have a drink.
>>43531631
The wonders of evolution. And people think centaur's physiology's are contrived and impossible.
>>43531631
huh, guess "giraffes have two hearts" was one of those "swans can break your arm" type of things that I got taught at some impressionable age that I never examined due to the sad lack of giraffe dissections in my life. Thanks anon.
>>43532079
Hey man, don't underestimate swans. They'll fuck you up.
>>43531549
>for what purpose
ballistic shit missiles.
>>43532079
>swans can break your arm
Theoretically they can. They would be strong enough, but no bird is going to risk their primary means of locomotion to fight you when they can just peck, scratch or fly away.
Ugh.. Fuck you guys, its a mythical creature.
You dont seem to care that a dragons wings are to small and far forward or that nothics have an eye that leaves room for nothing else in the head.
>>43533485
Well, what is there to talk about besides "how does anatomy" and "I would fuck a horse if it wasn't bestiality"
>>43534515
Now don't start with his centaurs! That shit set me on the long road that led through /tg/ and /d/.
>>43532590
But horses anuses have a guillotine system to keep their ass clean that also segments their shit, a rectal volume of that size is wholly unneccesary!
