Well i have actually done a little work, so I feel like i can actually start a gnoblog now.
First off I don't have a tribe name, and just a very basic concept... so i am running with it like an ogre at an all you can eat buffet
The idea behind the army was actually a recent one. I was told in the new nagash book, with the rise of the undead on such an enormous scale, other armies and beasts have now started to flee to the mountains of mourn. They have invaded our home and have slaughtered our food and if there is one thing we won't stand for its other monsters killing our food. So there is a tribe (my tribe) that lives in the snowy area's of the mountains of mourn, they have traveled a little in the world and have had their own fair share of adventures and battles, each ogre being his own and different from his kin. But with the invasion of races and beasts seeking food and shelter from the undead the Tyrant of the tribe has grown angrier indeed and has started to retaliate against any and all intruders. His kin armed up, their fur cloaks to keep the snowstorms off of their backs, anger in their eyes and a rumble in their mighty bellies, they set off to the entrance to their territory to put a stop to these intruders once and for all.
I will have models posted soon of what I have in mind of doing. Now I will state i am not anything fantastic. And greenstuffing is really new to me... like a few hours ago was my first time. But I will give it a try to finally make an army my own.
The idea is an army of monster and beast killers. Every ogre in the army has their own fur pelt to keep the cold off of their backs, but not their front cause they don't make cloaks that big XD
The cloaks are held onto the body by two shoulder pads, a mix of gutplaces and shields from the ironguts sprue, and the shields with space on them will have a horn on it or a form of trophy hanging from it. I'm trying to make an ogre army where each model feels like its own ogre, and to start with it will be the unit of ogre bulls. Whether it is ogres with raised weapons, some marching at normal pace angrily waiting for the chance to warm themselves in their enemies blood, or just ogres with their favorite weapons/gnoblar/food and drink.
Now i already have my models for 1500pts and this is what i am aiming for by the end of October:
Butcher (ogre bull conversion)
Bruiser (ironblaster crew conversion)
10 Bulls
6 Ironguts
10 Gnoblar Trappers
10 Gnoblar Trappers
3 Mournfang Riders
2 Hunting Wolves (Sabretusks)
Scraplauncer
This is what I have in mind, and this is the little concept I have. And hopefully by the end of today I will have a picture up of my first test model without the undercoat.
