The Sunchaser tribe, maybe.

Greetings fellow tyrants
I figured I might as well start one of these to try and get the extra motivation needed to get the lads finished some day.

The tribe, or the first idea for it anyway, it might change.
A crazed slaughtermaster (is there another kind?) is leading the tribe in circles, trying to catch and sacrifice the sun to the Maw.

First up, the stuff that is almost finished.
Bulls and Ironblaster:



2nd draft for the BSB, in all his blu-tack glory.


Maneaters, going to try and make some greenstuff coats etc for these guys, never used it before so will be interesting.


Next up, cleaning moldlines and assembling 12 guts and 4 MFC, also waiting for a package of bull and leadbelcher parts frpm ebay so I can start converting some butchers.

My heaven's butcher finished, except for basing and maybe more blood.


And a "night goblin" maneater, ran out of bodies but needed a 6th for the unit.

Loving your Night Gobbo Maneater! Such a simple idea but it looks great, can't wait to see your unit painted up!

The Night Goblin Maneater is indeed fantastic, I love the idea! 
The Maneaters will look great when they're painted!

is that solid greenstuff or did you fill it in with something to make it not so much greenstuff?

Thanks! The gobbo has been painted and will be posted later today together with the first 8 ironguts when they're finished.
The body is made from normal putty.

Apologies for the crappy pictures, but it's 4am and I wanted this done before I go on vacation.

The Gobboeater


And the 'guts, they'll get some lovely blood when the last 4 are done.

Man, that yhetee is cool... Wish I could paint like that.

Small mournfang update.

All good stuff here! As predicted the Night Goblin ME looks effing epic now he's painted!  The rusting effect you've used is also one of the best I've seen, looks really good but it does look extremely similar to the blue hue you've given the stone weapons on your Ironguts. Your army is gonna look amazing when it's all painted up. Cant wait!

Thank you ^^
I'll take a pic of all of them together once the mournfang riders are completed.
Then I just need to decide if I should stick to the cracked earth wasteland bases, or switch to something you can bring a little more life to.

Last 4 'guts done.

Banner and better quality pics inc after weekend.

Got distracted and have only basecoated the banner, however, butchers!
Beasts and Maw have been planned, Death inc sometime next week probably when the bitz arrive.
Terrible phone pics again, brother borrowed the good camera to take pics of his newborn.

Will hopefully be able to paint one of them during next week.

Wow! Your Butcher/Slaughtermasters look great! I particularly like the one on the right with the Maw symbol on his back. Have a Gnoblar on me.

Thanks! I'm not overly happy with the color of the "flame" though, a friend was painting chaos and I believe I might have been corrupted.

It looks like the donut from Larry's in the Simpsons. Cool job on it!

how have you made the blood?

Tamiya clear red, a touch of black, and UHU glue to get it thick and gory. Have to be careful not to add too much of the glue, the mix gets slightly lighter from it and might end up looking nothing like blood.

Death to the world.

Really nice Death Butcher there! Look forward to seeing him painted. 

BOOM! Hur hur hur...
Always loved that part of the old army book, had to add a small nod to the misfire caused by the ogre stuffing a gnoblar into the cannon too.
Might not be as effective, but I think it would be very unpleasant to get blasted with bodyparts picked up from the battlefield (or from the feast before).
Found an old empire or dwarf cannon in a bitz box and had to make a 5th.



BSB! I believe this is the final draft for him, might even get to paint him this month.

nice work on the leadies...I love you 5th one, looks really good.

BSB to me looks a little over the top....I love the big banners, but I feel this may be too much

Thanks, 6th one will probably just be a base filled with gunpowder barrels and ammo.
I was going for over the top so that's excellent, I feel like it fits with ogres and all their big name bragging ^^

cheers for that, can i use regular super glue for the blood? get that tyrant/bsb done mate am looking foreward to it

I don't think the glue we use for models will work no, the UHU glue is very stringy and thick, the GW glue hardens instantly when it comes in contact with the paint anyway iirc.
Armour almost done on the BSB now, so might be done by next weekend if I get the time.

Great looking models, can't wait to see more!

Are you planning to base your army?

Thanks, and right back at you! Will have to buy a stonehorn/thundertusk before I make the next couple of mournfangs so I can steal your spear idea, if you don't mind.
They will be based eventually, waiting for my cork to arrive atm, and need to buy new yellow tufts.

Not an ogre but, he's mean enough.

Looking fantastic mate

I had an idea when I assembled the black orcs, and I had to make it a reality.
New ironguts musician:

Mind sharing how you did that yellow armor?

Certainly, based it with a few watered down layers of averland sunset, a heavy wash of devlan to make it dirty, and edge highlights with sunburst yellow.
The scratched parts were painted sunburst, then scorched brown inside the yellow, and finally chainmail inside that.

Finally did something about the empty bases! I'll paint them tomorrow most likely,
still need to get tufts and pigments to finish them though.

Didn't make any progress on the bases, but, bsb!

Will get the real one eventually, but for now this guy will serve as my firebelly.

Ok, big update with bases.

Wow, I love those bases, especially the IB running something over! Unsuspecting Gnoblar perhaps? hahaha

Great job on all of them!

Wow I love those bases! May I ask, how did you do that blue verdigris on your Ironguts? It's amazing!

Thanks! I'm much happier with these bases than the ones I started doing (can be seen on bulls in first post).
The irongut verdigris is done with watered down VGC jade green, 4 water 1 paint or something like that, I'm going by how it feels ^^

Amazing work - that is a beautiful looking army!!!  Have a gnoblar on me

Thanks for the gnoblar, maybe he'll be promoted to a look-out.
Managed to squeeze in some painting in the weekend and made a bit of progress on the bsb.
Not much left to do on him now, highlights on all the skulls, the gemstones on the stonehorn, banner poles, and a few bits n pieces I'm putting on once it's all painted.

Great collection you got there! I like the original use of colors, works superb.

Mind I ask how you made that blood/gore? Been looking for good tutorials .

http://chestofcolors.com/something-about-painting-blood/ is where I got my blood ^^

Uh-Oh. Jolly good, spanks! :'D

how are you darkening the eye areas? it makes them look properly mean!

2 coats of leviathan purple

I started toying with the idea of painting the gems on the stonehorn as warpstone (maybe the skaven aren't delusional!) and it got me thinking that maybe I should paint all the stone weapons like that too, change it from the blue I've done so far.
First test, rather pleased with it.

I prefer the green/warpstony myself. Gives a nice contrast to the overall colours!

Painted about half of my old blue weapons as warpstone now and I'm happy with it, will probably have to give in to my other skaven urges and use clanrats for gnoblars (on the rare occasions I use them) and WLC as IB.
But that's a thought for the future.

Finished my BSB, yay.
On the last pic the angle of the chain looks wrong but it's just the pic, it hangs straight down ^^
The purple banner isn't glued in place and I'll use that as a magic banner "marker"

Solid paintjob. Solid indeed! I espescially like the yellow and the use of the standard thingie for shield. Never thought about it myself but ogres with shield look winning!

Agreed! Fantastic paint job!  The yellow is really cool!  I am personally fond of the green stone bits and the glow that goes with them in the stonehorns ...... ummm ....horns.   

Have a Gnoblar! 

That is one really nice looking BSB. I also had the idea of using that stonehorn bit for the banner support but to instead have a huge banner hanging from it modelled in green stuff.

What did you use to fixate the chains?

Can't agree more with the above, brilliant job! I'm going to have to nick that shield idea when I build my alternate Tyrant! Good Work!

Great job! Butchers look really fantastic. Got many ideas reading your blog, how to turn few bulls to ME's. Have a gnoblar

Thanks guys, glad to be able to inspire some and not just get inspired!

What did you use to fixate the chains?

Thin superglue.

Worked some on a maneater I recieved 2nd hand a while back, he was missing hte right arm, the sword, and gutplate, gnoblar etc.

Almost finished now.

2nd and 3rd maneaters ready for some love, next year.

Xmas gifts almost fixed and ready, just need some more bits for the riders.

Couple more maneaters done

Not ogres but, I've painted all the ogres I have, so what to do?

Wow I really love those orcs!  The bones on the skin and purple stone weapons are just mint!  Gonna have to give you a gnoblar for these bad boys! 

Congratz and keep it up! 

Simply mint! I love your way of painting minis. Espescially fond of the purple stone weapons. Give the entire regiment a nice contrast to all that green.

Thanks guise.
Finished my O&G BSB today.

Unit champion for my 2nd group of ironguts.


And I finished the rhinox riders, will use them as mournfangs most of the time I guess, most of my friends don't want to play against them

The stonehorn/thundertusk is fully magnetized so I can switch it around.

2nd irongut and bull units just about ready for some paint.


Not sure who to use as champion for the bulls, quite fond of the one with the "en garde pose".
What do you think?

Kittens done

Finished the first 2 bulls of my 2nd unit.
Hoping to get started on my stonehorn/thundertusk this weekend, 2 days of painting at my brother should see some progress.

And the second pair.

Love your faces.  Real character!

The skin on those ogres looks great, some really nice work, especially their drunken/bashed faces.

Why thank you.

Fatty be done.

Very nice down to earth painting.

Haven't had much time to spare this month, but some stuff done at least.

Champion for my 2nd irongut unit done.

Ooohh! That champion looks BAAAHDAAS!  Nice work once again

Thank you :>
First of his minions is doneish.

Bull standard bearer.

Really love everything, great painting and basing and those Ironguts are awesome!  Where did you get the weapons for them?

The Bruiser great weapon and a chaos chosen axe I think.

The champ axe is 2 minotaur axes actually.
Musician done.

That is most excellent and a very cool idea.

Very cool musician!  Love the idea!  Have a gnoblar. 

^^ thank you, found the bell in a box of old xmas junk and couldn't resist it.
With the standard done I only have 4 ironguts left, so sad.

You'd best watch you back Edgler because I'm gonna kidnap you, force you into a cage and make you paint my stuff in the future! Your work is incredible. Every time I check your blog my jaw hits the floor and I end up covered in drool! Have a Gnoblar

That's some might fine praise, and being locked in a cage and forced to paint doesn't sound too bad, wouldn't have to work :p

Bit sickly undeadish gut

Really amazing use of spare parts to form an amazing weapon there!  Good job! 

That Rhinox looks awesome!
Great work

Another irongut finished, not mcuh left to do now.
2 guts
2 bulls
2 leadbelchers
3 rhinox
1 ironblaster
1 maneater
1 great damned one of wrath (helldorado) that I'll use as a gorger or maneater
1 giant

And then I don't know what to do, 6k+ ogres might do for a while.
Maybe I'll have to scratch my necron itch.

My last ogre for some time, moving on thursday.

Love your blog, painting and modelling level is very high here so it's always a dream to check back and see your new stuff.

I really love that mini and it pops up a lot now on this site. Your painting of it is one of the best without a doubt, the only bit that doesn't quite seem up to your usual standard is the white hair, but that's a small price to pay considering how awesome the rest if it is!

Thank you, coming from you that's great, with your excellent warriors progressing nicely.
I agree with you about the hair, couldn't get it to look right so just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

Signing out for quite a while now, work is taking me to another town for 6 weeks and I'm not bringing the comp.
I'll hopefully get some painting done (bought a bunch of necrons) so maybe I'll have something to show when I go home over one of the weekends.

Happy painting and gaming!

Well, look forward to catching up with you after your 6 weeks!

The hair doesn't look bad it still looks good, and the facial hair is perfect it's just the detail on the topknot I think.
But it's really not that big a deal!
