A general problem with fairy chess piece figurines is that while the 6 types of Staunton chess figurines are all quite distinct and serve orthodox chess well, for chess variants sometimes in a given CV such as Sac Chess there can a lot of similar-looking types, it may be unavoidable in such a case. Similar issues might happen for other CVs too, even if the practical similarity issue went away for just that particular CV (i.e. Sac Chess). Fergus' main concern is to get a good-looking Staunton-style figurine of a Centaur that can be used both on the Piececlopedia page and seemingly for a lot of CV games, the latter being difficult to imagine in the form of an example collection of them.
Perhaps a Knight figurine with a Man's head at the top would be the best thought for a Staunton-style Centaur figurine, if the Centaur were not a royal version.
