@HG: I don't understand what you mean: "Well, the knight-on-a-shaped-base is a move-oriented solution, so it ignores the name entirely."
If you mean that a KN represented by a knight topped with something (a crown, a cross, an helmet) is ignoring the name "centaur", I agree.
I had designed 2 pieces for KN (you can see on my recent page). One is a knight topped with a cross, another one is a bottom of knight, headless, with a greek warrior helmet. Only this second one is a centaur to my eyes.
I was looking at it, in my hands, few minutes ago. I really see a centaur when I look at it. Maybe you and others have a different opinion because you have seen a photo only. It doesn't matter. As long as I, I am seeing something like a centaur, as long as I can explain to any friend playing with me, it does the job.
If someone comes with another idea which I find better, I will update my design. I'm not stubborn. I did that for the archer. For long I thought it was impossible to have an archer design good enough. Until I found one and I changed my mind.
