I'm thinking that Wood Elves would be the best bet:
High King Peter- fighting lord
King Edmund- BSB with...flashlight?
Queen Susan- Hail of Doom Arrow noble
Queen Lucy - Spellsinger
Dryads- Beastmen with two hand weapons
Glade Guard- Satyrs and Dwarfs with Crossbows
Wild Riders and Glade Riders- Centaurs (Does GW even have centaur models?)
Wardancers = Reepicheep (two mouse warriors per base = two hand weapons)
Treekin and Treeman = Trees (duh)

are you talking about making a Narnian-themed army that can actually play as a WHFB-legal army? Yes, Wood Elves would seem the fluffiest option and the best match for many models. Don't think there are any GW 'human' centaur models, but they shouldn't be too difficult to convert, especially if armour can cover the join between human and horse.
Just remember not to mention 'Narnia' aloud at a GW tourney, or some lawyer will wet his pants in horror - write yourself a little fluff about a Elf-led multi-racial coalition force

I guess Reepicheep and his Knights could be gussed up
Skaven, but I'm not sure how I like that idea.

Well I kind of moved near Toronto, actually.

You and your Wood Elves. What about Dark Elves. I copied your thing.
High King Peter- fighting lord. Give him a Seacloak.
King Edmund- g a k King Edmund. Make Aslan a flying Manticore. He's Aslan. He's cool.
Queen Susan- Lifetaker or a Sorc.
Queen Lucy - Sorceress
Witch Elves- Beastmen with two hand weapons
Warriors- Satyrs and Dwarfs with Crossbows
Cavalry- Centaurs (Does GW even have centaur models?)
Assassin or Witch Elves = Reepicheep (two mouse warriors per base = two hand weapons)
I did not really think about it, there are other ways.
You also have Corsairs, Heavy Cav, etc etc. Lots of different units. You could use Corsairs as generic Prince Caspian style fighting infantry.
man, I want a Dark Elf army now. Anyone else notice this stuff is expensive?

Dark Elfs--- I'd wait for the army release, and by then I'd
forget why I was waiting.

There is actually someone who made such an army two years ago at the www.ogrestronghold.com forum.
Maybe you can find it.

Found it. I like the centaur stuff. Not really too taken with
the idea of fielding them as Brets

Badger spellcaster. That's genius!
The rest is great too. No clue how to do a lot of it, but it's
great.

For models, also consider the old metal ungor skirmishers and spearmen as fawns/satyrs. You also need lions (with Reaper's Celestial Lion as the Untamed One), and at least one armored rhino (Reaper Reven warbeast maybe?). And at least some dwarves and centaurs.
As for lists, Wood Elves works well, methinks. Monsters, fast cav, and skirmishers, with some powerful magic.

I think the lesson here is the best way to enjoy GW's games is to not use any of their rules.--Crimson Devil |

Rackham makes some really nice centaurs, if you don't mind non-GW. Cool idea in general though.

Maybe Warmaster Skaven would make for decent Reepicheep.
