Urigri'n'Torgh's tribe My new IronBlaster

Hi to everyone!!!

I want to show you my work, and my army progress! At this moment I only have one bull's ogre unit (6 ogres) and one ironguts unit (5 ogres), but they are 3 more ironguts, 4 leadbelchers, one master slaughterer, one thundertusk and one ironblaster

well... here it goes!!!













Those grass bases are only for a short time, I will change it for lava bases when i've got time to do that

I have one lava base idea for my thundertusk!!

I need your help to do that stuff!! how can I do the rock in the middle of the base??

I think you should probably use a solid chunk of pine or build a ramp out of wood.
Alternatively a piece of styrene foam and cover it with paper mashae or putty which you then sculpt.
Basically it needs to light and sturdy.

Foam + hot wire cutter and cover with woodmans plaster afterwards is probably the easiest way to get a craggy rock.

Layers of cork board is the easiest. You do need to ensure that the sides of the layers line up, and probably scrape up the top layer that the thundertusk would be on so it's not smooth, but that is what I use for my lava bases with my ogres, and it works great.

My MasterSlaughterer:



The musician for the Ironguts:



And the last member of the unit:



And the whoooole unit:

And now my WIP, leadbelchers, at this moment I have one painted and the base is ready for tomorrow painting!!



and the base!!

Hi everyone!!! my two new leadbelchers!!!





with the movement tray



and my favourite miniature of all time FIREBELLY

They look fantastic mate; well done they're actually not disimilar to how I did my last lot (not to mention how I'll be doing my new 'propper' lot!)

The Lava bases look very cool and really pop-but is it just me, or is there nothing wrong with your grass bases?

I know the grass doesn't fit in with the lava units, but it looks fine to me (not to mention thats how I tend to do my figs as well...ahem!)

Keep it up!

bases look pretty awesome...i just don't understand how they'd work in real life...do the ogres wait for their enemies to float by whilst standing on the rocks? 

I do know it's a fantasy game though

They'll go to their enemis surfing through the lava

a interesting army with an nice base design.
i hope to see more of your work soon.

HI DUUUUDEEEESSS !!!!! My new miniatures!!!! My first 3 maneaters!!! Champion, musician and standar!!!! 

Hope you like it!!! my champions base still remaining to be done!!

looking pretty sweet dude! may i ask why the steel colour has a blue effect on it? As far as i'm aware, steel doesn't have a patina/verdigris effect...that is if it's even meant to be that!

I enjoy you like my maneaters

It suppose to be copper, but it looks like steel.... shame on me!!!!!

Hi dudes!!!! my WIP for my thundertusk!!! it's about 30% the job done!!! still remaining a lot of work on it!

Thundertusk is coming along nicely, liking the fur/skin!

The coloration of the eyes on those maneaters is particularly effective.  Well done!  The thundertusk shows much promise...

Really like the Thundertusk, very diffrent to the norm and the blue looks especially eye catching! Nice and crisp and clean as well!
Just realised as well, the Leadbelcher doesn't have a cut down barrel, it's another of the shorter cannon I could see, but with the pic being taken from down the barrel, my eye's were deceiving me!:P
Liking the Maneaters as well, do keep us posted!

great concept.. can't agree with the blue cannon on the LBs though.

Titanium will turn blue when it is heated to very high temperatures for a long period of time.

here it goes, a few more pictures of my WIP thundertusk!!!









Comments are welcome

That is very blue...

Whilst it looked great in the previous pictures, I'm not sure I like it on the Tusks and the Saddles. I think it may be a bit too much. It's well painted, and the blending is very well done, it just draws all the attention away from the figure.

Just an opinion!

Personally i  really like that blue. Really pop.

you'd need alot of blue on the rest of your army i think to blend it with the rest... If he's very blue, and everything is red and firery, it would be odd a bit... no?

I like your style on the Ogres - you get a lot of effect with simple combinations and sharp contrasts. Impressive. Really means you have to be precise with your paint.

Although I must admit I like the grass better than the lava, I think the blue tusks will look very neat as contrast to the fire. I can picture it coming down from the frozen heights, crossing a stream of lava..
Oh while I'm at it, the fire on your Firebelly looks sweet - almost feels transparent on my screen..

My idea of thundertusk is a creature descending from the top of the cold mountains bacause of the war call. About the blue tusks.... well, I considered that this monster is a cold monster but he can fight across the lava to defend the ogre's interests. When I finish all the work on the bases I will post a family picture of all army.

The thundertusk base will be a combination of rocks, dust, snow and lava. You will see it soon!

I like the grass bases but I wanted to do a diferent army, an army from the mountains and the volcanos.

My idea for the thundertusk base is something like that:

almost finished thunder tusk pics!!

Few days remaining!










Do you like it?

Those tusks are super saturated.  I like it, but think it may be a bit stronger as a model with some tone-down.  Maybe a leviation purple wash to add some depth?  The red in the purple should help tie to the base, too.

If you look the mini at real it doesn't looks like that picture, the color aren't so bright!! really it isn't super saturated, but my phone camera takes this pictures... I will take some pictures with my camera and you will apreciate the diference!

I like it! It is a different style from most Thundertusks I have seen.

Only few details!!!

those tusk look good.  Were they air-brushed?

Yes I painted with airbrush the tusks!! easy and fast!!

Well, my new miniature! IRONBLASTER jeje I'm so sad about the wood of the charriot, and it isn't at my best level of painting.. I hope you like it and i want your opinions about that!







more WIP's this night

that wood is very hard to paint imho... the texture isnt an easy one to tackle, and there's so many surface of it, no matter what you do it look weird.

Your wood is OK. The cannon and "fangs" on the side will steal the show anyway, so nobody will really notice the wood..

Here you are! all my army completed 1500pts!!

Im not really a fan of the blue colour idea for the horns but man you can paint.
And the lava is among the best lava Ive seen.

Hello to everyone I want to show you my new creation:







I hope you'll like it, I post some pictures from the creation.

Forgot to mention, I LOVE this. Concept and execution are both fantastic. What a wondrous idea of magnifying/amplifying the power of a spell through a machine to create the same devastation as the ironblaster...

Have a gnoblar on me! (His name is Ricky, and if he tries to run away you have to shout RICKAAAAY in an east end London accent to get him back)
