Hello everyone long time prowler of these boards and I finally took the plunge to join!
I have been playing Warhammer (mostly fantasy but some 40k,Battlefleet Gothic, Inquisitor, etc) since the age of High-Flying and the introduction of the Chaos Dwarfs. Oddly enough, with the exception of a unit from this army or that, I have never truly had a full blown assembled, converted, and painted army! I have only ever played with family and friends and we typically just "proxied".
Ever since the release of the Ogre Kingdoms I always found myself drawn to them, they are comical, characterful, and in small enough numbers that I felt I could spend a bit of time on each model so that they would look as good as I would want them to. On top of that, the fact that they can essentially be a clean slate with which every single collector is able to have a lot of wriggle room to make them their own has been a huge draw to them for me.
Reading through their first book my thoughts instantly went to them making awesome pirates in the Warhammer world (I know, not that creative anymore hehe
) with their wanderlust, mercenary streak, gunpowder, etc. and decided to model my Ogre tribe as pirates. Thus, the concept of the Ogre's of Togretuga was formed!
For anyone who managed through my monologue thank you for your patience and pleased to meet you! I hope to be able to contribute to this forum as a payment for all the priceless knowledge, ideas, and amusement I have gotten from it
