Please Sir, can I have some Maw?? VN's Ogre log

See what I did there....?

Hail brothers!

Well I figured it was finally time to take the plunge into WFB, and what better army than the mighty Ogre Kingdoms??

Just to get me started, I splashed a bit of paint on the new Firebelly....





One of my favourite models ever made by GW, but for some reason I didn't enjoy painting it... Rather pleased with the results though, so nevermind! Let me know what you guys think, and look out for plenty MAW in the very near future!

Nice work and I love the golden mask.

Looks good. Did you throw a wash over that guy or is that dipping? Looking forward to seeing more painted models!

Aye, I probably should have mentioned right at the start that my intention is to get a decent looking army on the table in a relatively short space of time (part of the reason I chose OK in the first place: so few models to paint!). For this reason (and also that I'm real lazy) I'll be using Army Painter Quickshade to get the boys done.

Riiiiiise from your grave!!

Well it's been a little while since I updated this log, but I sure haven't forgotten about it!

The story is this... While I was putting my Ogres together, I found that I really wasn't inspired with them, despite loving the background and the conversion potential of the models. The problem is that all the RnF look exactly the same... Now I've seen some amazing armies on here, but I just wasn't prepared to put in the conversion or painting time on models I wasn't inspired by.

So after my brief moment of despondency, I had a thought (just the one mind you). Anyone who knows me will know that I have something of a penchant for old school models... So I decided to apply this to my Ogres too! There are so many characterful and varied old school Ogres, so after a spending spree on eBay I had an army that I was inspired by.

So that's my story.... I now present some *very* shoddy pics of the army in its initial construction stages:

Bulls:


Ironguts:


Butcher:


Slaughtermaster:


Hope you like em! There's still a bit of work to be done, but then painting commences. As I expand the army, I will be including newer models too (MFC, Ironblaster, converted MEs), so look out for them too.

Comments welcome, even at this early stage!

Some nice old models there that bring back fond memories for me. That Ogre Captain in the middle of your Ironguts is the first Ogre model I ever owned. I look forward to seeing them all painted.

Evening fat lads!

I'm pleased to say that despite my many other distractions (World Eaters, Daemons and a Forge World Great Unclean One...) I have managed to get some work done on the fat lads and I have a little update for you!

Got my first Ogre Bull done, the old school Ogre Gladiator:



Also got a couple of Sabretusks done:



Also converted some fancy pistol-toting Maneaters:









Hope you like em! Comments welcome chaps!

Liking the converted maneaters. What did you use for the hat on the first one? The one that has the mournfang crusher head.

Nice job on the first model! And those conversions are looking great! Keep up the nice work!
