So I've been wondering opinions on this, and I thought a poll was as apt as anything, so here you go ^_^

Grey or mixes of grey personally. I like my ogres unusual.

Edit: lol I just seen the "Wing it" option. Doh!

would picked that one if I had seen it before.

I like the tallan flesh with ogren flesh wash bit boring but I just love the combo painted my 3.5k army with :-D

I personally use a mix of Calthian Brown, Khemri Brown and Kommando Khaki, for my skin colour.

For the skin of my Ogre Horde I used Daemonette Hide and layered with Daemonette Hide-Slaanesh Grey Mix + Slaanesh Grey.

For all my Mournfang, Mammoths and Sabretusks, I used The Fang as base color, layered with Thunderhawk Blue and did flesh patches with Dark Reaper. I highlighted Fur with Fenrisian Grey.

Seconded... seeing them with a hangover doesnt help lols...

But seriously though, I quite like them tbh, its so drastically different that it works imo.

But yes you are right they do work in an awesome psychedelic way.

Pinks pretty wild, what other crazy colour combos have you seen?

AnUnearthlyChilde 02 Jan 2013

Personally, I've seen purple (The Joker type purple) and scorpion green, I never understood why the green ones were so neon tbh but hey ho, each to their own lols.

Chuck Norris was the fourth wise man and gave Jesus his favorite gift, a beard. The other wise men were so hacked off, they got Chuck Norris removed from the bible. Mysteriously, they all later died of Roundhouse kick related injuries.

I start with Dheneb Stone, wash with Devlan Mud, then smooth out the colour with Kammando Khaki. Lastly I'll occasionally highlight with Bleached Bone if they're important enough.

FearPeteySodes 15 Jan 2013

Mine are blue so take my opinion how you will (lol), but I never liked when they made them normal human flesh color. I liked the grey much better for the wavy metal stuff and love seeing peoples crazy color choices too.

I've always painted my Ogres in some form of human flesh tone. I think my first Ogres were the Golgfag unit from the Dogs of War book.

I have seen a brownish green skin color that looks pretty good. Of course I can't find it now :/

questionable 05 Feb 2013

I personally like a more natural look.
