"The lost Gnobs" and "the Highlanders"

original thread ↗

Hey guys!, im new to this site and have decided to do my 1st gnoblog,
Im starting up 2 new armies!

"the lost Gnobs" which will be my Gnoblar horde army... i plan on converting every Gnoblar, and have each squad different in small ways so that no 1 squad is alike!
so this army i reckon will be a lot of fun to model and paint up!, photos to come once ive started the modelling,

then there is "the Highlander tribe" who will be my Scottish based Ogre Kingdoms army!,
lots of kilts and bag pipes and random other little Scottish features!

i will also have back stories for both armies, so i will be writing that also as i go along!,

here are a few models ive painted up already for my standard ogre army! =]





Looking good!
Check out my blog '7+ Ward Save'

ok so  "The Highlanders" have been started... they are looking kinda cool...
though i am wondering how i will do the musician, as i want him to have bag pipes! ...

anyways, here are a few shots so far! =] =]







these are far from finished obviously, but yeah they are coming along nicely! =]
Nice job on green stuffing! I cant do jack with it! Lol
Cant wait for your unique gnoblers!
so far the Gnoblars have not been touched as i am still in the process of coming up with ideas for them! =]
but a few have been purchased, and i will be working on them very very soon, so keep your eyes out for em! =] =]
ok, so the whole army so far has been scottified :P,
all the models now have kilts and sporrans and most have the hats :P...

here area few photos of the army built...

(painting will start as soon as i get a hold of some more spray paint!)


Mournfang riders!




My Hunter!


Leadbelchers!


Possible tyrant stand in! (not sure yet lol)


This is just a full army shot of both my ogre armies together
(both still a WIP!)


more images to follow very soon! =] =]
I like your leads the most! Your bsb should be like a massive bagpipe with the maw symbol on it for lols

haha cheers Brain! =] =]
that may actually look really cool on the BSB...
i will eventually have a piper in the army also, need more models 1st though :P haha,

I have also just finished the BSB for the Gnoblar horde




also finished my 1st Gnoblar Leadbelcher! =] =]





progress on a few bulls and two of my ironguts! =]

far from finished, but happy so far, (pictures really dont do the models justice atm, as they have been taken from an iphone :P)













Very Nice work!
ogres are the boulder rolling down at you.  you can side step it, run away from it or blow it up before it gets to you... but you can never ignore it.
thank you! its just a start but hopefully they will turn out ok! =] =]
this is what ive been working on today! =] =]
pictures came out really dark but you kinda get the point =]



sorry its been so long since updating this!,
ive made a bit of progress! (not as much as i would have hoped! but still some!)
all the ogres have now got a skin colour on them, and have been highlighted up!
all that really needs done is the leadbelchers cannons and the kilts and trousers for them all!
then that will be the ogres models finished!

then to start the mournfang and the stonehorn! =] =]

should be done in about a month i reckon! =]=]

so i started my Firebelly!
and this is what i have so far....
(ive gone for a magic looking flame, as im not a fan of the normal flame look for him haha)



Purple blue pink fire.  Just awesome!  It's very well blended as well.  A fantastic start.  Looking forward to seeing more of this fella!
