-----2k------

Fluff- Haven't really worked on this that much but ill whip summin up 
Gutrencha the tyrant of the rockfists clan hold mounthly pitfighting bouts with there neigbouring clans. 13 consecuative wins he decided it was time to act to expand his kingdom some of his best fighters had been mortally wounded by a jumpy little upstart of a bruiser from the neighbouring clan. It was time to act. Gutrencha assembled his best most elite pit fighters to fight in an open battle. His butchers prayed to the greatmaw on the eve off battle one beame possesd slaghtering all who were near in the morning Gutrencha's fierce cadre of bruisers lay dead horribly mutated by this rouge butcher. He begain to preach ,doubling over  in bouts of gurgling screams as the maw seeked to posess him. Gutrencha decided he would try to harness this power and the butcher would lead them nto war. Favoured by there god, on midwinters eve they begain there long march over the mountains of mourn. On arrival they found the enemy tribe in the middle of there grand feast upon the throne sat the runty bruiser now apprently the ruling tyrant. With a savage war cry adorned by the possesing from the maw the ironcuts howled into action. Brandishing there mighty wepons adapted from there pit fighting styles they slaughtered all. The tyrant and his bodyguard stood there ground in the centre and slew manny a bulls but ~Gutrencha and his elite maneater charged in used to close fighting they quickly slew the bodygaurd before gutrecha ripped off the younger tyrants gut plate slicing off his stoumoauch so his entrails spilt steaming onto the floor. Humilliating this weak runt infront of his clan. So the conquest begain.

I have started my conversions for my man eaters and my butchers piccies up tomorrow 

Nice fluff Very colourful I like it. List looks good, but may I ask, why that build on the tyrant?

JJ

Tyrant = fun  (hes not built to kill hes built for a laugh and to play test the funky rules of his equipment)
Here are the links to the pics im not very good at converting so some constructive critism would be apreaciated =]. thanks in advance.
hope this works 
   





manny thanx fantasyfreak

Looks great, are the metal rods going to be horns of the Tyrant's headdress or something? 

Glad I could help  

The conversions look nice, a little rough around the edges but good.

I like the Pony Gobbla  

I started painting my 1st ever ogre! piccies up soon =]
I tried to blend the skin but kinda failed. but here it is my 1st ever painted ogre! (not quite finished)

I love the painting and there's some real good stuff here with your ideas and convertions too!

i'm a little puzzled as to the Butcher's (?) head here though...is it a mask? and why the horns/poles? :S


BB

AAAGH! Zombie Mexican Wrestler Ogre!

Its a mask there sevreal points behing it one of them vyan hit the nail on the head  the second one is he's like a beserker when he was possesd by the maw at the begining of evrey battle the blood of his enemy's are poured into the mask so he becomes a crazed killer.
The spikes were to try and make like a grill infront of his face wich is peeping through the mouth, i left them on without trimming them down because it added to the effect of the mask. For that gruesombly scary look 
Thanks for the feedback guys next up is the other butcher and then the maneaters

Nearly finished this maneater (posting because im stopping for tonight)
Some feedback would be really apreaciated thanx 

Sweet, but the shoulder plates look a little too Orcish...

no shizzle there ork shields  but i agree they should hav been converted a lil more into ogreish but hey u cant be a picky scavenger! and i just noticed a really horrible mould line and its made me sad 

its okay but the lipstic isnt but nice chains

Erm, those metallics are some of the best I think I've ever seen Wow! The rest is fairly good, but nothing compares to the job you've done on the metals

JJ

its okay but the lipstic isnt

I no i wanted to paint the lips but i didn't want them to bright and to stand out wich i obviously failed at  So any sugestions of a good coulor to paint them or just leave them skin tone?

Pony gobbler's up for painting next; so stay tuned 
here he is -( - the boots as useall)





my first attempt at doin blood; any constructive critism would be apreaceated thanx.

Yet again, the metals are some of the best I have ever seen Kudos. You're technique for metals is astoundingly realistic

JJ

Tip for the lips: the base colour of the skin with a drop of black.
That makes it a bit darker

BTW on your previous model I saw two mold-errors:
the back of the left arm and on top of the right shoulder.

cheers lexy i curled up and cried when i reallised the mould line(s), and thanks for the tips for the lips . More is coming soon a unit of 4 converted iron guts and the other 3 maneaters. so stay tuned 

oh yeah. a quick tip for the lips.. paint the lower lip and let the upper lip be skin colour.. it works!

No go with lippie!!

Candycake

No go with lippie!!

Candycake

lol

Congratchulations winbear! u are the winner taking my thread to two pages.
Coming up 3 maneaters

yay! will i win lots of pictures too?

Time for an update me thinks
the 2 other man eaters (wip)


Ogre bulls (nothing fancy here)


Trappers (Wip)

C@C welcome as always

Looking good except for the dreaded MOLD LINES!!!

I did a similar pose to your dual IF Gut and it was a pain in the butt to paint. Have fun!!

i was building these at my local workshop so didn't have my trusty knife to scrape of the mold lines off so ill get eradicating 

looks good! i like the one with the ninja chain mask the position looks like hes about to tackle someone!

My babies are nearly finished



C&C welcome
Campaighn starting at my local store starting at 1500 heres myarmy list i knocked up some C&C would be appreaciated
4X bulls - IF,LA
4Xbulls-IF,LA
4X guts
4Xguts
Butcher-bangstick
Butcher-skul mantle
Butcher-Hafling cookbook
3X maneaters, HA,cahthayan logswords

Fisrt time using ogres so some tactics n stuff would be nice
Cheers,
Harry

i love the metal colour!.. are you going to paint the stiches on the ass or leaving them green?

the stitches on there ass will be grey same as the belt when its done   

And here they are my wovley ironguts my first fully painted ogre unit C@C welcome:

I can still see some moldlines and I don't like the gaps in their back where the shoulders are glued on.

The painting looks really nice though! I like the color scheme, it works well.

Regarding your list:

4X bulls - IF,LA
4Xbulls-IF,LA
4X guts
4Xguts
Butcher-bangstick
Butcher-skul mantle
Butcher-Hafling cookbook
3X maneaters, HA,cahthayan logswords

A Butcher cannot be your army general. Drop the one with the cookbook and get yourself a Bruiser.

'Eavy Bulls (IF + LA) are generally a point sink. If you have to spend point somewhere I can see it, but otherwise you will often be better off with just AHW or the plain ole' Ogre Club.

YAY randroid 
some 1 has commented on my list before monday (the time of the game)
I pretty much f*cked up gluing the shoulders as the hands didn't fit in prperly but allas they were some of my first construction
So - the bucher and have
Gutrencha's lord pit fighter
Bruiser- Heavy armour
- siegebreaker
- fist full of laurrels
-184
puts my list 7 points over,
 im sure my oppenents wont mind
Thanx,
harry

They are indeed painted fairly well, but the pants don't meet the standards of the rest of the model.
As for 'ard bulls, they have their uses. Against most elves, and vampire counts, they can be very good (because of the proliferation of low strength attacks), but I wouldn't normally put them in an all comers/tournie list.

And here he is "Gutrencha!" C@C welcome as always


i kinda fail at green stufing 

Times for an update me thinks
Started painting my bulls and tried my hand at some warpaint the grey on the IG didnt come out as hoped
C@C welcome as always
thanx,
TLK

i love the staff thing the head is really spikey and cool!

thought id give my thread a lil bump because its half way down the second page
(is that allowed?)

im not sure that the bumbs would be allowed.. some mods think its annoying.. but oh well this is a gnoblog so its better to keep it updated.. tough if you have something to add then you could always ressurrect it.. but still i dont think that the bumbs are allowed.. you better ask our moderators on that one..
