Can anyone please offer some good advise for army fluff please ?!?!?!

original thread ↗

Hey people,
                 I was just wonderin if anyone could offer some good startin points for the fluff for my ogre kingdoms army, because I'm a bit stuck on ideas. I really like the concept of theming an army before modelling and painting it, to give it that personal feel; but I just can't seem to put pen to paper and come up with anything.

Please help me !!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Josh

Are there any armies that you are also interested in?  It seems like alot of people theme thier ogres off of other armies. I ahve seen Druchii, several types of Chaos, Empire, Brets, etc.  What those people tend to do is make color schemes that match those units as well as sculpting some weapons and adding bits that make the ogres look like they are from that area.  Along with this they write up a fluff of how they were mercenaries for that army or something similar.

Are you interested in any ancient cultures from earth?  If you are you could write up some fluff about how the ogres in your tribe are becoming like this culture.  Bring them through the early stages of that culture.

Hope those ideas help a little bit.

Cheers for the suggestions dude, I think I will find them very useful. I am still grateful for any other ideas, you can never have too many options  :D

Kind Regards,

Josh

Well, what floats your boat? Is there anything other than Warhammer that really gets you excited? For me it's reptiles, I've kept and bread various reptiles for going on 18 years now, and so I themed my army round this, for more info why not see my Gnoblog, the link is below in my Signature?

Hope this helps.

My army is essentially deemed the Hand of the Maw, due to the fact that every Ogre in it (apart from the slaves) is completely insane and psychotic.
One piece of help I can give is have a look through real world history for the warriors of cultures u might like to emulate. U could also design your Ogres round a particular habitat that isnt the Mountains of Mourn.
