hi peeps, a couple of months ago i got hold of a small ogre kingdom army, which was mostly painted
like this

now at first i was gona keep the blue skin and just lighten it, but in the end i decide to do a complete redo of the skin
heres a couple of test models

basicly ive gone a for a grey skin tone to give a stony look, idea for a mountain tribe
also a test modle for my yettees

Tbh i wasn too sure i would do a good job on this mini, but am happy with the way he's turned out
and a hunter im working

also happy with him as well, just got the final details to finish and hes all done.
let me know what you all think, and i see if i can take some better pics if i can

cheers

I do like the skin tones on the ogres. The yeti looks nicely drybrushed. Good finish on the hunter's jacket. When will you have this army finished?

 

[fynn]

well, i got a total of 10 bulls, 4 lead belchers,4 ironguts, 3 yetties, butcher, and 8 gnobllar trpaers to paint all together (includinging the bits already done), so probaly not too long, gona do some more bits during the week as im at home keeping an eye on the builders doing the referb for the kitchen and bathroom, was gona do a bit today, but too much damm drilling and cutting going to concentrate on painting.
i will be sorting my old camera ohone out for some better pics of what im doing

 

[fynn]

right, time for a bit an update me thinks
now at our club we have decided to do a tale of 4 gamers type challange (theres 8 of us in it at the mo........lol), so ive steped in with my ogres.
first month of the challange is get 750pts done, so heres what im working on (also includes better pics of the hunter model and yettie)
hunter (useing as a count as bruiser till i get a new model)

unit of 4 bulls

unit of 3 bulls

unit of 3 ironguts

unit of 3 leadbelchers

and some better pics of my yettie (him and his buddies may be part of the challange next month)

i will update asap with new pics as work continues

cheers fynn

The clearer pictures really help.

Those are shaping up to be so great model.

I especially like your fur technique.

My only picky thing is that it looks like some mould lines are still there; especially on the lead-belchers.

 

[fynn]

Cheers for the comments.
yeah i know, but as there a repaint, tbh, i just couldnt be arsed to clean up the mess on the models as they was already painted. as and when i get more troops, then they should be clear of any flash and mold lines.
As for the fur, started with a battlegrey base coat, then codex grey dry, fortress grey dry brush, then added a blue wash to the heavyier areas of the fur, then done light space wolf grey dry brush, followed by a pure with, that was how i done all the fur, only exception being a light gryfin spepia wash on the hunters furs.

 

[Tim/Steve]

Yeah, they all look really cool- its a similar colour scheme that Ive gone for, although mine have a little more green in their colouring. That hunter is an awesome conversion, Im assuming its meant to be a greyback pelt? Either way if you want to use him as a bruiser be careful of the base sizes- the hunter is the only ogre model on a 50*50mm base instead of the standard 40*40mm.

 

[morfangdakka]

I really like the repaint on these. Man I am really starting to like Orges and I don't even like fantasy.

Nice job can'twait to see more of the army as you get it going.

 

[fynn]

cheers morfang, out gameing tonight, so will do some more tomorrow, black wash on the metals, then adding some tin bits for a crapy rusty effect, and if i can find it, gona dig out my tamiya clear red, and make a mix with some black added for a hopefully crusted bloody effect on the weapons and belly plates

 

[aquatic_foible]

i'm enjoying your re-paint work so far, sir. looking forward to seeing some more finished stuff.

i'd never really paid much attention to the ogres until now [the army book was released while i was "on sabbatical" from the hobby!] - but this thread could make my decision of which whb army to start up for the 8th edition very difficult indeed! :grin:

 

[fynn]

cheers guys, i now have a tyrant model, armed with the big double handed, double ended club, so will undercoat him tomorrow and get some aint on him too............lol

 

[fynn]

right then peeps, bit of an update, done a bit of work on the leadbelchers to give there guns and gut plates a bit of a shity/rusty look

still need more work on em, just trying to not over-do the effect.
and i got the tyrant undercoated this morning a bit of paint on him

thats it for now, let me know what you think

cheers fynn

 

[Kobrakai]

The army is coming along really nicely mate.

The hunters jacket looks really nice, and the general skin tone looks nice throughout. The yettee's fur is spot on, and the ice blade looks really nice too.

This definitely deserves some rep.

 

[fynn]

cheers m8, i must admit, im very happy with the way the ice weapons have turned out, just hope i can repeat it on the other 2 yetties. the main thing i havent decided on yet, is what to do about the base's, as i have no idea yet on what to do with em. so if any one has any ideas/surgestions, they be welcome

That looks like a good old metal technique.

Arte you planning on ageing the load as well or leaving it shiny to emphasise the age of the cannons?

 

[fynn]

cheers dave, i may do a bit of a mixed load, some old, some new, some stolen.............lol.
i should have some more picks up later today, as ive been doing some more on the metal work and leather, and a tad more on the tyrant (read about 80% finished....lol).
once this lot is done, i need to decide what my next block of 250pts will be. i may go for some gnobblars, but as there already painted (blue skin, so there my little blue meanies), that will be a touch up highlight and shade job, also have 8 unpainted trappers as well and a few more ogres to choose from.
and for reference, my opponents in the challange are 2 gobbo armys, a VC army, an empire army, a skaven army and WOC army, and all but the WOC currently out number me model wise, I.E 96 in the skaven............lol

 

[fynn]

right, got a bit more done a bit more work today on the ogres
heres the tyrant so far

hope theres enough gore on the tenderiser
ironguts

leadbelchers

and the bulls

the first 750pts is probaly about 80% done now, just need details done and the odd gnobblar to be sorted

 

[Skartooth]

Nice looking ogres and very quick progress. I especially like the hunter :good:

[fynn]

cheers Skar, and thanks for the rep, was gona do a bit more painting today, but been a tad busy keeping my daughter amused (and watching dvd's with her), hopefully have a small update tomorrow

 

[fynn]

as i think its ver fitting for ogres
