Miniature Monday: Chaos Ogre Standard Bearer

Some of you may have seen the early WIP I posted a month ago or something (probably even more) that is now finally finished! Yep it took some time to finish, mainly due to painting on other projects instead. But I finally came around and did the last bits on this dude.

So as you can see he is a more or less an ordinary Irongut but painted to better fit into my blue WoC army. I also changed the shield on his shoulder to an old 4th/5th ed Chaos Warrior shield and added another banner to the banner. Why? Well I like banners :)

I'm happy with the end result and I hope you like it as well. Will probably take some time before this unit is done as I have ton of other stuff to do right now, but I will probably add a model or two here and there just because it's fun to paint them up.

Comments are welcome as always and if you have any tip on how to further 'Chaos:fy' the Ironguts please let me know.

Mantic Ogres Pics

Just saw these over at Mr Saturday's Mumblings. And it's pics of the upcoming Ogres from the Mantic Kickstarter campaign. These pictures are from their open day.

Must say I'm impressed with all the stuff Mantic are putting out these days and the quality of it, I really like the heads for these Ogres. I also like the pic of a whole model, but not the short legs I'm afraid. It gets a really cartoony look which is fine, but those legs are just to short for that large upper body. Looking forward seeing what more Mantic is having in store for us in the near future.

News: Ogre Kingdoms Pictures

Okey, you have probably already seen them because they are all over the warhammer sites, forums and blogs right now. And I must say the stuff is awesome I recently got a couple of Ogres from my brother who don't have the time to paint them, haven't checked it all out but I think there's two boxes of bulls, one of ironguts and one with leadbelchers, one box of gnoblars, some trappers, a butcher and a Tyrant. So enough for quite a good start on an Ogre army actually, the question is: Do I need a sixth Fantasy army? no. Do I want one? yes. Do I have the time for painting one more army? no way.

So even if I got real tempted by the new models, I'll pass at least for the moment. But I think pretty much everyone into Fantasy battles think these are awesome models and that Ogre Kingdoms really deserves some more good looking models and a new army book. I also like the new skintone the Eavy metal team has come up with for these models, really disliked the old grey greenish skintone in the previous book.

Pictures are from the Ogre Rumouirs MK.II thread on Warseer.
