Blood of the Mountain Ogre Tribe Army in Progress

Hey all

I recently started into Ogres and was intrigued by the prospect of painting them mostly. They seemed like a lot of fun to put a brush to, and so far, this has proven correct!

This is my first unit of ogres. I went for a very undead-skin approach which seems to be rather popular with ogres. The pictures are a bit darker though, the final highlight of the skin is Citadel's Pallid Wych Flesh, which is an off-white with a red tone to it. The layers under that are reaper's undead skin triad - Ghoul skin, moldy skin and bloodless skin. the 6th ogre is still getting varnished at the taking of this picture.

Bellower- His tattoo is a play on the classic "mom" tattoo but says "maw"

This is the start of a force that, thanks to just wanting to paint this one box set, is going to grow quite large eventually. I am starting on a unit of leadbelchers next and I will hopefully put some weekly updates on this gnoblog

I would also appreciate any comments, criticism, or ideas for my tribe! thanks!

Hi there!

Always great to follow new gnoblogs on here, keeps me inspired. I love the theme and the skin tone is great. I look forward to seeing those leadbelchers being completed!

Have to agree with the fellow above.  Loving the skin tone.  It provides wounder full contrast with your red tattoo's that come from being part of Blood of the mountain tribe.  Keep up the great work!

 

heres the last guy in the bull unit

a leadbelcher

Here are the Leadbelchers finally done



Added a couple tattoos to the guy i posted already:


and the rest:







and as a bonus, I painted a Look-Out Gnoblar:



so the question is: what do I get to paint next?
Ironguts?
some sort of hero a la a Tyrant/BSB/Slaughtermaster/Firebelly?
a monster or warmachine, stonehorn/tusk/Ironblaster?
maybe some Mournfang Cavalry perhaps?

would love some input ^-^

I'll cast my vote for an Ironblaster!
