Orkansvarning's Ogres......And other things too (pic heavy)

original thread ↗

Hi,

I'm Dag, but It is better if I go by my Alias here, Orkanvarning. I've been a warhammer fanatic on and off since I was six, and I think it's time for my first warhammer blog. Some remember me from http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=25581.0 you three people :>P and it's time for a gnoblog.
For the moment I'm broke, so no battleforce, only two sabretusks. And Ogres will not be the only things on this blog. Chaos, Dark elves, Whatever crosses my mind, but it is a gnoblog after all, so Ogres will be seen.
Also, There will be pictures. Many hopefully.

With your help I will come up with a Ogre tribe  :) Everything have been done it seems. Arabic ogres, maneaters with lizardmen weapons and Skaven bodies, Indian and chaos ogres. I want something new, something thats never been done before. So my first idea is the megafauna of the Pleistocene epoch. American lions, Giant sloths, Mammoths and wolly Rhinos etc. Would'nt that be AWESOME?  :D Ogres will have a more feral appeal, Neanderthals-kinda like? Comment and say what you think. Note that I like green stuff  ;)

My gnoblog will be Beautimous if I'm allowed to quote Honey Boo boo  :P and one day be one of the legendary gnoblogs out there  8)

One Final thing, and most important. Which is the best way to insert images here? Should I use a website or what? Give me some good advice and sabretusks will be coming soon ;)

Questions?
i look forward to seeing photos of what your doing! =]
Taking things in my own hands I think I have discovered the way to insert images  :lol: Hope you like it.

Here's a taste of my green stuff obsession  :P

Nurgle Champion:

Chaos cultist:


And of course one of the Sabretusks:




Tell me what you think and I would be glad if you could give advice how to paint it like a real cave lion  :)
looking good mate...
as for painting a cave lion!,
heres a link to a photo,

so i would start off with your darker colours and work your way up into the light!,
shouldnt be too difficult if you have the right paints! =]
I will begin with a 500 pts army.

Leadbelchers x 3                 Firebelly
129                                     120

Ogres x 5                             gnoblars x 20 
Standard bearer                  50
Bellower
Ironfists                               Sabretusk
180                                      21

=500 

The overall theme will be nomads of the eastern steppes, north of the mountains of Mourn. The eastern steppes offers game in giant mammoths from the glaciers to the north, herds of herbivorous animals, predators to the south (Ogre megafauna) and humans in form of marauders. With all this I can incorporate my orgiginal idea of the pleistocene epoch. Also, if I feel like it, some chaos ogres might come to life. But that remains to be seen.
I'm thinking of maybe giving the ogres some of that Savage orc spirit, as in warpaint and perhaps weapons made of bone and flint stone. There have been Ogres from Nippon and Cathay, Chaos, Empire, you name it. Why not Neanderthals?  :P

What my tribe's name is going to be? No idea, would'nt mind some help  ;) More pics on their way.
