My attempt at an Ogre Army

I decided to post a couple of pics of my army... seeing other armies, I'm a bit ashamed about the lack of conversion...

Wow! Nothing for you to be ashamed about! A strong color scheme can take your army far! You don't need any conversions, you've done a great job with what you have here. Nice work!

What do you mean with 'lack of conversion', ey? I see plenty You've got two converted butchers and a home made banner, you've repositioned the gorger etc. etc.

Your army looks beautiful
My favorite is without any doubt you giant... looks like goldielocks

Yeah, I agree with the others. a) Who needs conversion when ur painting is that good and b) the simpler conversions are the best, as they add needed touches to a model without detracting hugely from a great paintjob.

Too much of something which is good, can be bad too

are the image taken with a slightly orange light, or is everything supposed to have an orange glow ?
Some pieces could have some more shading/highlighting. But they look cool.

What surprised me the most was how good it looks to sand the side of your bases, nice one.

An awesome looking army. the little conversion touches you've made and the effort put into the bases have really brought the models to life. Do you have any future plans for the tribe?

thanks

@Corai : I plan to photograph the others first .. ( I have about 2500 pts painted), and I really should get started on a Tyrant...

@ Vargh : Yes, the lighting is a bit yellow. Main reason I stopped photographing.

@ others : Thanks people !! 

So when the new pictures coming ???
Great army.
 What do you mean no conversions.. ok lack of.. Theres loads i love your butchers and your BSB

Thanks

The Butcher looks fab as do all the other Ogres. I the design on the banner hand-painted? 'cos if so, my impressedness meter will rise another few notches!

They're greenish, Nice paintjob. and very realistic rust.

Hand painted.. all banners (not sure if you refer to my army standard or the smaller unit banner) 

Nice job but those mould lines are really visible.

cheers,Gorg

I know, the bull were the first things I've painted... learned from my mistakes by now..

Not bad at all. The pedistal bases reminds me of those irish coast-rocks.

Thanks

Looking good there - that scrap launcher is absolutely manic!

The scrap launcher looks great. I really love the model (not so much assembling it ) and yu've done it more than justice. Looking forward to your next update

Thanks
Corai

theres loads of conversions in there, and that hand painted army banner is fantastic.

my favourite model has to be the leadbelcher with underslung cannons on each arm. ace.

syc.

I'll post close-ups should you so desire....

You appear to be the king of Rhinoxen: I can't decide which is more awesome, the RR or the Scrappie!

Hi,

Your scraplauncher looks great. The Rhinox is painted very realisticly

BigD

They're maserfully painted, but I'm  not a fan of the brown rhinox on the end. individually it looks great but next to two grey ones it just looks a little out of place

thanks
Corai

My Ironguts : some minor conversions and the SB's have magnetized arms so I can field them as regular troops...

Hi,

I really like this paintjob! Great work! Have you had any experience with painting models before your ogre army?  I also enjoy the conversion especially on these iron guts, I have been working on something familiar.

Greetz,

The scraplauncher and rhinox riders are amazing! It'd be great to see a pic of the scraplauncher Rhinox and the other rhinoxes (Rhinoxen?? ) together to see how much bigger the forgeworld ones are. Also a pic of the gorger from the front would be brilliant! Great job .

Those are some wonderful Ironguts. Really nice work!

great job with the multi purpose SB. I love the added shields from other kits too

"My attempt at an Ogre Army"   good thing its onely an ATTEMPT  i dont whant to see if you put your mind to it what you wil come up with

i hate you  hahaha JK it a great army love the colors and the IG look asum

My army has been growing steadily, but nothing major.

I am currently building a unit of 9 IG wielding naginata like weapons, but they need lots more work



Meanwhile :





Oh, and in case you wondered why it took me so long to post, this distracted me.

dude ur giant looks like lex luger! great army, love the tomb king gutplate

Elite unit (Ironguts/maneaters)

Some quick flash snapshots :

Looking at that bottom picture, there's someone in that tower that has really p****d off that ogre...

Looking good. The ironblaster cannon could probably use some touches of color or verdigris. Right now its a little plain for a center piece.

Slightly more detailed pics, I hope.

The top picture of the stonehorn looks like it has a head in it's mouth...

Nice execution on the ogres.  Very 300 / WoC-ish.

Woh, that is pretty creepy....

@OP: Real nice work on the army, you can literally see your skills improving with every update (and they certainly weren't bad to begin with!).

Nice effect on that second cannon.

You know soth, worn and all...

could you please tell me how you did it? its amazing

I should visit more often.

It's simply a verdigris glaze, thinned down (valejo product)

This place is way too quite for you and not GW hating enough. 

So how's life you thinling lover you?

In case someone doesn't want to/isn't able to get Vallejo products where they live, a similar effect can be achieved with a really thinned down turquoise wash in recesses where you want verdigris. After drying, apply another wash with a mix of the previous turquoise paint and light blue/white depending on the colour wanted. The second wash should be applied over the first one with some caution to not cover all of the first wash, leaving darker edges. Similar technique can be used for rust too with brown colors.
