ive writen my fluff for my own tribe (the skabrand tribe) so here it is:
sumpreme-tyrant skabrand wanted seperation from the other tyrants, so he pushed some of the mountain of mourn over towards the river running to pig-barter. He asked the eye-biter tribe for a favour, grandfather malron eye-biter sired a hundred ogres for his tribe but when he came to collect the favour in the form of gnoblar slave the sumpreme-tyrant refused, so malron hired dark elf assains to kill the sumpreme-tyrant, luckily the tyrant sleeps with his trusty neckalce made from wyrdstone itself and the dark elves were forced back in a tremendous blast and some of the mountain collasped and rolled towards pig barter and formed the mountain flayed rock, because of its broken shape, he has a sister tribe called the flayed tribe it happened after a ogre revilution but thats for another legend. the sumpreme-tyrant skabrand was "concerned" (as much as a ogre tyrant could be concerned) that his butchers and slaughter masters were not protected enough from the fray, so naturally he told as butchers from now on must wear at least gut plates to the fight. the are now nicknamed the "war-butchers" becuase of there protection. the most famous butcher of skabrands tribe is the war-butcher "mazog" he have done many deeds to help the skabrand tribe, he introduced the halfing cookbook to the tribe, he also discovered/invented the weapon "bang-stick" which many have found/ dug up/ stolen over the years

im adding to this whenever something new comes to my head i still need to work on the tribe insigna

I usually don't do this, but if you want people to read your gnoblog, perhaps invest some more time into your posts. Use capital letters and press enter from time to time.  :roll: No hard feelings, but it's really, really difficult to read huge blocks of text without proper punctuation.

Bulls look blurry but pretty standard. Are you planning or adding theme or anything to them?

If by RAW, you mean "Reg06's Audacious Whims", then you'd be right.

I like the fact that you do all these conversions, but you need to clean those models. All of that flash and mold line can ruin even the most skillful conversion.

i have got some updates on my backround

sumpreme-tyrant skabrand wanted seperation from the other tyrants, so he set up a camp in an area of the mountains of mourn over towards the river running to pig-barter, after the supreme tyrant gained reknown it was named skabrand.
He asked the eye-biter tribe for a favour, grandfather malron eye-biter sired a hundred ogres for his tribe but when he came to collect the favour in the form of gnoblar slave the sumpreme-tyrant refused, so malron hired dark elf assains to kill the sumpreme-tyrant, luckily the tyrant sleeps with his trusty neckalce made from wyrdstone itself and the dark elves were forced back in a tremendous blast and some of the mountain collasped and rolled towards pig barter and formed the mountain flayed rock, because of its broken shape, he has a sister tribe called the flayed tribe it happened after a ogre revilution but thats for another legend.
the sumpreme-tyrant skabrand was "concerned" (as much as a ogre tyrant could be concerned) that his butchers and slaughter masters were not protected enough from the fray, so naturally he told his butchers from now on must wear at least gut plates to the fight.
they are now nicknamed the "war-butchers" becuase of there protection.
the most famous butcher of skabrands tribe is the war-butcher "mazog" he has done many deeds to help the skabrand tribe, he introduced the halfing cookbook to the tribe, he also discovered/invented the weapon "bang-stick" which many have found/ dug up/ stolen over the years. he was also very tradiotional he didnt ever wear a gutplate, which was part of the reason he was more of a sellsword than a fully fledged slaughter-master
the skabrand tribe is an untraditional tribe, they pit fight with there own weapons, every ogre must at least own a sword (to mimick the supreme tyrant), there is more than 1 tyrant (the supreme tyrant then there is the tyrant lord, then the tyrant).
skabrand brutahack is not renowned to be the strongest,toughest or most blood thristy, he simply wins all challenges through skill (with a little magic help ;) )
the tyrant lord is ranked among gresus and other such high ranking tyrants in the common ogre world, he is simply known as "kurg bladehouse". he orginally came from the mercanary house of "sellclub" who where renowned for being rudimentary. their camp was located ontop mount thug
kurg was an intelligent (for an ogre) ogre and he was strong , when he found the (I WILL CHOOSE A NEW WEAPON FROM THE OK BOOK WHEN IT COMES OUT) on a raid for his house he knew this weapon had magical properties and it would only bind itself to one owner unless the orginal owner is defeated in combat (out of fluff, if you have trouble understanding, just watch harry potter) and kurg was the one who defeated said owner, a tyrant in this case, and the tenderiser was bound to him.
after a short mercanary job in the chaos wastes with a group of empire devotees, looking to clear the wastes, he learnt from a warrior priest simple charms and forging methods.
 after all the empiral men devotees and warrior preist died and bodys looted (it dangerous in the wastes :P ) kurg returned to his emcampment, enriched with knoledge and gold, he found his encampment burned to the ground with a few ogre limbs scattered around. all he found was tyrant "carroburg sellcub's" 2 necklaces, one which pulsated with ward defying magic, and another ,which is probaly what kept the tyrant alive for so long, that was linked directly to the wearers life.
kurg travelled for many a season, feeding on maurding bands of empire, or smal skaven packs. until eventully he found ,with only his tenderiser and necklaces, the skabrand tribe.
he , as all wandering ogres looking to join the tribe, was assesed by the butchers and mazog to see if he had been tainted, then he was tested on fighting abiltys, taking down the tribes resident bruiser who was quickly replaced by kurg himself.
when kurg was not fighting he was forging. no ogre was sure what he was forging, and to be honest they didnt care, many would watch in amazment, as they did not posses such skills.
after many cycles of the seasons he had finished what he was forging he had since then he defeated the tyrant. what he had spent so long on forging was..... a (SAME AS ABOVE BUT WITH MAGIC ARMOUR).
but not an ordinary armour he had used the neckacle of life to forge what he called the "(SAME AS ABOVE)".
he disliked the tyrant lord, in facted he loathed him, thats why he challenged the lord.
he quickly won for the tyrant lord did not beleive in using magic weapons and armour. so kurg was now the tyrant lord and and he was powerfull but for some reason he would never challenge the supreme-tyrant, wether it was becuase he was afraid, or from some sense of lolaty. no one still now why he changed his name.
