Ogre Marauder from Avatars of War

I fell in love with this model the first time I saw it, and arrived two days ago. I just finished it tonight.  Really well cast, hardly any mold lines and no pinning was required. Model is also bigger and bulkier than the GW Tyrant. 

He is going to my new Ogre Tyrant. I hope you enjoy. 

And these are my next project. New Sabretusks aka Gnoblar Cav. 

Even more Ogre goodness.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here in the US. I got some more Ogres re-painted. This time I finished 6 Leadbelchers and 2 Tyrants/Bruisers. I am going to go back and do all the eyes for the entire army at the end, as well as any other touch ups I might have missed. 

Note the stars on his blue leg. 

Other Tyrant or maybe my BSB. 

I need to rebend his Finecast mace. 

Leadbelchers

Enjoy!

More Re-Painted Ogres

Here are some more Ogres for the Great Repaint. This here is the Irongut's standard and below is the before. 

The Ironguts:

Every trouser is freehand with stripes, poka dots, and other doodads. 

Finally the Butcher. I think I am going to add some Blood for the Blood God technical paint on his apron to get some red on him and tie him in with the rest of the army. The twig used to be his Bangstick from last edition. 

Enjoy!

The Great Ogre RePaint

I have never been happy with my Ogres flesh tone. So after years of painting I think I finally like how I paint a lighter flesh tone. I originally painted this army back in 2007 for the Colonial GT, then added a few models once 8th Ed came out, and finally again when the latest Army Book was released. 

Here are the newest paint jobs.  

Heavens Slaughtermaster, I was going to add stars and comets on his apron but it became too busy so I went back to just black. The headgear is from a Lizardman Temple Guard Standard top and the scepter from the Empie wizard's kit. 

Photo was taken before I repainted his apron black. 

Next up are 6 ManEaters.  Front rank are a mixture of a bunch of kits. The back row used a bunch of Chaos blitz as they were originally Chaos Ogres. 

Freehand on all the trousers. 

I hope you enjoy!  I will post another unit in a few days. 

Battle in the Garage

Yesterday I got to play a 2500 point game against a friend of mine. My army is all packed up so I borrowed his gruesome Ogre Kingdoms army and went to battle against his Dark Elves in his garage. 

Here are the photos, I'll add some notes later when I get some time. It was a mighty massacre for the a Ogres.

I'm Going to Graceland....

I have kept this low key, but my wife's job is taking us to Memphis, TN for the next 1-3 years.  Actually, we are moving to Olive Branch, MS which is just SE of Memphis.  My hobby has been packed away for the last few weeks getting ready for the move at the end of this month, but I have some crazy ideas in my head.

I am going to start repainting my Ogre army to match my Mordheim Pit Fighter war band color scheme.  I am going to call the army OAF (Ogre Alliance for Food) or something silly like that.  Colors will be Red, White, and Blue with much lighter Caucasian flesh tones.  Bulls get Blue & White pants, IG get Red Striped & Blue pants, Heroes get red and white striped pants and blue with stars.  Flag will have 13 Great Maw teeth.  The Maneaters will probably be Minotaurs or heavily converted Ironguts and if I decide to use Mournfangs then I'll use the Dragon Ogres.

 I am going to take my time painting them and really try and up my game with my painting.  I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos on using glazes that I am excited to try.  Hopefully I'll have a nice update in a month once I get my stuff unpacked.

Southern Assault

Southern Assault IV is next month July 12th & 13th and one of our sponsors sent us a box of goodies for terrain which is very much appreciated.
