With the new book coming out (hopefully soon) I have getting more and more excited. However it got me thinking that the fluff of my ogres is kind of weak. I play 2 other armies Grey Knights and IG both have a deep fluff and history, both then I know more about the 40k world then the fantasy world. What little I have for my ogres isn't enough for me, my tribe doesn't even have a name.
I painted my ogres to have a light shin tone, I primed them white then painted them kommando khaki over it. I thought it would be good to have them be cave dwellers to explain why their so lightly colored.
Their banners are painted scab red with a black maw on them and the Irongut's armor is also scab red. I would like this to have some kind of meaning in their fluff because it looks great but my mind is blank as to how.
My bellowers all have animal horns, I did this to make them easier to see, and also I know how it feels to suddenly hear them in the distance. (I play a LARP) Hearing them coming before you see them like that really puts your nerves on end. I think that kind of primitive war horn is perfect for brutes like ogres.
I really like the look and feel of my army, but as I said before army fluff is important to me and I'm lacking there. So I'm hoping to get a little freed back, if nothing else a tribe and tyrant name that will fit with my models.

Come over for dinner, we're having... YOU.
