Ogre blog by flappie big update

original thread ↗

So and now I am here to make an blog. First of all: dont suspect anything unusual as I am not a great (I mean rubbish) green stuffer. However I will make some small conversions here and there. Also dont expect updates every week as I have a lot of school work to be done and school goes first and then the paintings. Every time I have a fight with the Ogres I will post the results in here (I will also do it if the Ogres are hired by my Orcs or Tomb kings as I dont have an army very quick).

With that said the blog can get started: As to be seen elsewhere on this site I already have one Ogre irongut painted and ready for combat (I still need to base him but as I am low on money at the moment I cant buy it). Iam working already on my second Ogre and will by a box of bulls within a few weeks (Iam very slow at painting).

For know here is my first irongut (again):

front (sided sorry):


another of the front:


shield:


back:


and the last one the hammer (great weapon):


I hope I will get my second one done today but if not it will take like 3 days (school and such) to get him done and photographed so stay tuned.

Update number 1:

The second ogre is now painted:

Here are the pics (the pics arent that good but I think you get the idea behind it) :

First from the front (a little dark):


Front with flash (gives realistic rust however the skin is not good on this pic take pic above for that):


Back (best pic):


Shield (the red wich is almost onto the white isnt there in real life):


The two together as called a group pic:


I will make an group pic everytime an ogre (or two) are painted so I can see my army grow.

Next update will be another Irongut (wich means I have 3 painted and the first ogre core unit done) with/or a bit of fluff.

Though your snow is very well done ( as your painting) I'd say that you need a rock or something sticking out of it, because in this case the bases will become dull.

Now all we need is the 7th edition rule that said if the models are killed they don't get to fight and we WOULD be a broken army! lol

I agree with lexy, you need a little more on the bases. Blood on the snow is a good one, try a mix of brown ink and red paint on a spare already snowed base. Otherwise a few rocks and such would be nice.

I fergot to tell that those bases werent done so some boulders and stuff still need to be added.
