In the Star Force series, by B. V. Larson, there is an alien race of Centaurs. (Larson bases his alien races in animals, it's not very creative, but it's so over the top that it ends up being brilliant.) They are indeed a herd-like society, that values war, bravery and honor above all else, and are collectivistic to the extreme, happily sacrificing individuality for the common good. They also make long-winded and flowery speeches, and are horrible at obeying any order that doesn't involve a direct attack. Any kind of strategy or tactics are considered cowardly and duplicitous. I cannot imagine any other culture for the centaurs.
