Centigors are not [[Beastmen]] in the strictest sense, being more beast than man, but they will occasionally venture forth from their homes within the forests of the Old World to march beside a particularly powerful Beastherd. Centigors are fond of drink, and will take any opportunity to steal alcohol as spoils of war.

Centigors are strong, fast creatures, formed from a humanoid upper torso and the body of a four-legged beast. Although they are not very dextrous, they are able to wield brutal, basic weapons which match their vicious and bloodthirsty nature. Nomadic centigor warbands can be found roaming the plains and steppes of the Chaos Wastes, occasionally venturing into the northern forests of the Empire.
