arisen's redpants tribe

original thread ↗

i've finally decided to start a gnoblog here.
i didn't intend to start playing ogres, but i liked the models. so a couple of months ago, i decided i'd buy a box of ironguts just for the fun of painting some.
the thing is, i liked painting them a lot, and soon 2 batallion boxes, a butcher, a tyrant, 2 gorgers and 2 maneaters followed.
i'm in the progress of painting my army; so far, i have 8 out of 9 bulls painted, 3 out of 15 ironguts, with a 4th one in progress, and my bruiser/tyrant.
i really didn't like the greyish GW skin tone; i really wanted my ogres to look like oversized humans. that's why i gave them human skin, and non-rusted weapons.
they all wear red pants so the cows don't have to scrub out the bloodstains too hard when they return from battle  :D
i won't be using anything really converted (i do have a gnoblar sticking out of a LB cannon though), because my converting skills aren't quite that good.
the 2 maneaters will almost always be used as butchers - i bought the pirate and the one with the trenchcoat because i really like the models, but i don't think i'll ever field them as maneaters. i can easily explain this to an opponent though; the pirate is a cook from a pirate ship, and the one with the trenchcoat is a stylish butcher who keeps his special ingredients locked away inside treasure chests  :P

here are some pics of one of my bull units. i'll post more and better pics of the rest of my army when i find the time

Does your camera have a 'Macro' function? Normally indicated with a little flower icon - if so, use it for taking pics of minis.

Them bulls are looking good, the flesh tone seems to work well.

The second picture looks a lot better. The tatoos are great detailed work. I had big problems with my first pictures too and found that by slowing the shutter speed I was able to get rid of the blur, so it seems like from your second picture that you`ve probably already countered the problem.

The quality of the photos isn't great (as I'm sure you've noticed), but the ogres don't look bad at all. They could use some war paint or tattoos though, in some contrasting color.

Thanks, but the thing is, I don't really like warpaint, that's why only my ironguts have tattoos - to keep track of wounds easier  :lol:

It's actually his brother. He was the tyrant of the tribe, but after an unfateful encounter with an experimenting empire mage when raiding a trade caravan, he was shrunk down to the size you see now. Grwargh killed the mage, ate his guts like spaghetti (this is where he got his name from), but while he was enjoying his meal, a hidden empire guard was sneaking up on him; the shrunken ogre, still having an ogre's appetite, rushed to the guard and started biting on his ankles, alerting Grwargh of his presence, after which the guard met his demise at the heavy end of a club.
He's kept his brother by his side as a good luck charm ever since then.

While waiting for the undercoat on my rhinox riders to dry, I started assembling a leadbelcher with some random parts I still had lying around. Meet Grargh Boomarm. He lost his arm during a fight against the empire while working for chaos dwarves. A cannonball landed right on his lower arm, tearing it off, and leaving his face and body scarred. Fueled by rage, ignoring the excrutiating pain, he stormed the cannon battery, and proceeded to club every last crew member to death. He took the cannon as a trophy, and the chaos dwarves made a proposal - they would attach the cannon to his arm if he would work a little longer for them. Grargh liked this proposal, and the chaos dwarves proceeded to attach his sinews and muscle tissue to the cannon, and revive his arm with dark magic. Although he needs something to take precise aim (like a big skull, or an unfortunate gnoblar), the damage he can do with the cannon is immense - as well from a distance as hitting thinlings in the face with it.

I love the concept of this model, and the pose is really nice. However, to me, the head seems a little disproportionate. Honestly, I feel one of the more decorative Bull heads or an Irongut head would work better.

After inspecting the mini again, you're probably right. I've swapped the head for ... a black orc helmet that I found in my bitz box - he's looking like darth belcher now :D

Don't be too afraid to paint them - if you're afraid to try painting new things, and stay with the same techniques you won't improve - trial and error. Also, if it fails, you can drink a couple of duvels to forget it, and it may look better when you're drunk  :D

It's good to comment on someones work and show appriciation Lt. Mori, but commenting on the "taking picture" part is maybe abit strange considering the fact that you don't follow your own suggestion here?

Sorry for sounding harsh but we have a proverb in dutch that goes:
"de pot verwijt de ketel dat hij zwart ziet" , meaning as much as "Look at yourself before judging others" (there is an english proverb with words like kettle, black, etc... but I can't seem to find it)

I apologies if this comment came over to hard.

Nice gnoblog, second batch of pics are much better.  I like your army, nice conversions and solid paint.  The thieved shields on the guts are a nice touch.  And speaking of guts, the triangle tattoo on the one reminded me of ...

Maybe you've been staring at that label too much?  :lol: .
Maybe some of the ogres' victims were drinking bass as well while the ogre picked them up, and you know ogres - the thinlings were held upside down with their beers clutched in their hand. The ogres liked the symbol which makes thinlings taste even better, so decided to make a tattoo out of it  :D

finished the last one today - the base will remain empty until I get a plastic giant which has the parts I plan on using on the base (like the running man)

















and here's the unit in all its thinling-stomping glory  :P








I'll take some new army shots very soon  ;)

Rhinox unit is big, scary and looking rock solid.  Rest of the Redpants are also quite nice, a blubbery army to be proud of :D

looking great :)

Thanks for the comments. I'm quite proud of my "blubbery" army - but they keep telling me they're just big-boned :D.
I'll be painting my first unit of yhetees soon, just have to correct the undercoat (i.e. paint the parts I missed when spraying), which is something I don't like doing  :oops:.
I just hope I can get our icy brothers to work for me just as well as they do for you Wildcard  :P

Finished my first yhetee. I'll base them when all 6 are finished  :P . It's a different scheme from what I've seen anywhere, so I hope you like it - I know I do :D

Hej man looking good ! IS it me, or are you getting better and better at painting !?

Also im gonne steal your idea on the gutmagic markers :P
Current armies:

WFB: Wood Elves (80% painted) | Ogre Kingdoms (0% painted)

40K: Imperial Guard (100% painted) | Space Marines (40% painted)
go ahead and steal it - it's simple but effective ;)

entire unit of yhetees is finished - they painted quite fast.

Arisen you have an impressive painted army.
Red pants and the skin collour is looking great toogetter.

Lol the squished gobbo is fun  :lol: you made this out of greenstuff?
Keep the good work going :)
Well done arisen, I love the sqished gobbo. Those coloured yhettes I like kore than the white. Maybe beacause I'm in to darker colours, but very well done. I all ways like to see your work.

having just eaten a month supply of beastmen and knocking enough skeletons down to make a month supply of bonesoup, the redpants tribe decided to take a journey through the lush plains in search of more food. They stopped long enough on a wooden board to allow me to take pics  :). Natural light is just so much better for taking pics it seems.

too bad I was too much of a sky giant for them to handle, and I continuously threw 6s ... I picked them all up and... stuffed them all in a carry case.




In case you were wondering, I will be rebasing some of them soon. I'll put new sand on all the ones where it didn't stick very well (they're from when I used a generic glue for basing: now I use woodglue for basing)

I love the black-furred yetis, and great army setup!
Great army shots, the natural light makes them look even better ;)  Lots of nice stuff going on in the army, and I don't remember seeing the really dark gorgers, they look good as well.  And the rhinox unit is definitely large and in charge :lol:

- Salvage
That truly is an army to be proud of :D :D Out of pure curiosity, what inspired the Gorger alternative colour scheme???

They stopped long enough on a wooden board to allow me to take pics  :)

This made me laugh :D

This really made me laugh :D Despite the advantage of obvios size differences, surely they woulda got a good Combat Resolution score, based purely upon them outnumbering you, hugely... What with rank bonuses and all :D

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.
I didn't like the really pale gorger paint scheme GW gave them. I also didn't want them to look just like skinny ogres with the same skin color.
After some thought I decided to paint them very dark because they spend most their time underground, and their skin turns ever darker to blend in better with the surroundings in the cave.

Awesome :D :D That's a great idea :D :D I am of a similar school of thought to yourself, as I too, hate the pale complexion gorgers of GW :| haha!!!

arisen! you are a excellent painter :) the paintjob is cool!
Threadomancy ahoy  :lol: . Some here may remember me, but most won't  :P . It's been a long time since I've done anything relevant to my OK army; I already made banners and a BSB when 8th came out, but haven't gotten round to painting them yet. but now that we're effectively an 8th edition army with all the goodies that has brought, I've decided they need to be "upgraded" and expanded. Now that I've revived this topic, I'll feel a lot more compelled to complete them. :)

Here's an updated IF bull just to get the ball rolling again







Having finally updated my entire existing army like this a few days ago, it's time to paint all the other stuff that needs a coat of paint; a shortlist;

-slightly converted BSB bruiser
-slightly converted Golgfag (no banner, cape closed up with GS, "fancy blades" - my tyrant's not a fencer, he's got "fancy blades"  , making him WS 10 8))
-slightly converted GW-wielding hunter on stonehorn with a rhinox head as part of his pelt
-2 firebellies
-butcher
-Gutsman
-5 standard bearers (3 for IGs, 2 for bulls)
-1 IG bellower
-4 IGs
-8 bulls
-4 LBs
-1 sabretusk (to complete the feline trinity)
-8 mournfangs (2x4)
-2 ironblasters
-thundertusk
-another giant

The wood is pretty plain, and the gutplate could use a bit of dirtying, but it looks good. I really like the way the base turned out.

If by RAW, you mean "Reg06's Audacious Whims", then you'd be right.

You're right Reg- I neglected the most vital part an ogre has... his gutplate. i've gone back and corrected it :)



A pic of the entire army, complete with every model I still need to paint...
