Rock Gut Plates

original thread ↗

WoT 23 Jun 2011
I'm thinking of changing my Tribe to the Mountaineaters due to the fact my background for them is very similar already and it would be nice to paint their emblem on my banners, but I'm unsure how to do them so they stand out against my already grey skin, does any one have suggestions because apart from making them a lot lighter than the skin I can't think of anything that will look good?

Here's a picture of one of my ogres -

"Ogres have been described by scholars as mentally, "thick as two short planks."
They have also been described as having enough intelligence
to nail the planks together and beat the observer to a bloody pulp."

Just because its rock gutplates doesnt neccasarily mean it has to be a  grey rock on his gutplate.

A few examples are black with green wash and gloss varnish on top - chaos dwarfy kinda theme.

Or marble green slabs or anything, look at a rock and start painting for ideas :p

Goodluck and post some pictures when you decide  :D
ogres are the boulder rolling down at you.  you can side step it, run away from it or blow it up before it gets to you... but you can never ignore it.

Hmm a lot to choose from but I don't know the colour of mount thug, which is the mountain their tyrant scaled and ended up getting the speckled lichen crag like skin which it'self is a pretty good indication heh.

83. We're all there - have a unit of at least 12 ogres get into the enemy deployment zone with no casualties taken.
