Cheating on me Skaven!

original thread ↗

Hello everyone! I've been painting a fair amount of skaven and thought i could do with a change. ( Hence ogres, pretty much as opposite as you can get? )

Bought a batallion and book and have painted one tester. ( He does have edge highlighting on the skin but its not really noticable on the pic.









My friends and i are looking to do campaign forces at 2500 - 3000pts.
I had a quick mooch around and came up with this: ( Am not really into deathstar units :) )

2500 Campaign Ogre Army: 2499 pts ( 1 banked )
Tyrant - 311 pts
   Heavy Armour
   Luck Gnoblar
   Deathcheater
   Tenderiser
   Wyrdstone Necklace
   2 Sword Gnoblars

Slaughtermaster - 315 pts
   3 Tooth Gnoblars
   Luck Gnoblar
   Hellheart
   Talisman of Preservation

Bruiser - 189 pts
   Heavy Armour
   Iron Fist
   Battle Standard
   Banner – Eternal Flame
   2 Sword Gnoblars

Butcher - 180 pts
   2 Tooth Gnoblars
   Gruts Sickle

6 Bulls - 245 pts
   Standard
   Bellower
   Lookout Gnoblar

6 Bulls - 245 pts
   Standard
   Bellower
   Lookout Gnoblar

4 Ironguts - 242 pts
   Bellower
   Standard
   Rune Maw

4 Ironguts - 222 pts
   Bellower
   Standard

4 Leadbelchers - 230 pts
   Bellower

20 Gnoblars - 40 pts

20 Gnoblars - 40 pts

Gorger - 75 pts

Scrap Launcher - 165 pts


For the next jump to 3000, i was thinking of including 3 maneaters w HA and CLS ( cos the models are gorgeous! Am kinda worried that they'd then be 90pts each . . . the skaven in me talking ;) ), a Bruiser w HA, IF, Jumpin' Boots ( Counts as Arabyan Carpet - was going to use him as a warmachine / mage hunter or just to get flank bonus ) which would then leave me with not much left. Thinking drop the sword gnoblars and then add a leadbelcher?

Cheers for reading!
Thats a really cool "frost" kind of look, I like the theme you got going on. Im thinking these are the ogres from the very tops of the mountains? Looking good, you just need to maybe add another color or two for contrast? Im not feeling the brown...its a little too...whats the word...idk...it just doesnt look right. Maybe go with white and grey colors? that would look good. It would punch up the blues and not be overbearing like the brown. (Gosh after painting Skaven I cant imagine why you would even want to look at brown anyway! lol ;) )

Thats a very balanced list, I like it :)
