Eddie's Blue Ogres

[Eddie Chaos]

So here it is, to celebrate my 100th post I'm starting a project log! The plan is to paint 1000pts of Ogres in a few weeks.

here is a list of what Ive got to work with:

1 warhammer forge chaos ogre from gamesday 2010 (bruiser)
1 butcher
12 bulls
2 mournfangs
1 giant


and here is a test mini to wet your appetite.

I understand that this is going to be a fast-paced project, but it is still worth the effort to remove mold lines thoroughly. I am looking forward to see what you come up with.

Here is an extremely WIP pic of the basic coulours. I've got a large part of the army at this stage and should have something interesting to show you later this evening.

Looking good, my friends doing a similar style/project frost ogres are awesome how have you done the snow base btw? Trying to find a good way do a similar effect but not found anything yet

I've always enjoyed the idea of frost ogres/ice giants I use the GW modeling snow for the bases, the trick is to mix it into the pva instead of applying it like static grass. it can be quite a pain to mix and apply but it looks nice

[Vampiric16]

Nice start, how do you do the blue?
Would be pretty awesome to face this with my Norse Dwarfs

[Eddie Chaos]

The blue is regal blue over a white undercoat, highlighting up through ultramarine's blue and a splash of ice blue for extreme highlights

[Demortu]

Looking good! I've seen blue ogres before and though the colour weirdly suited them(!). I'm looking forward to seeing this progress, and enjoying seeing the bits from the new kits peppering your rank and file .

[Eddie Chaos]

OK so I'm about 80% done on my first 1000pts. I just need to sort out their faces, finish my butcher then do loads of basing!

here is a quick photo of the small force

out of interest, does anyone know if this army will play well in 1000pt games?

Bruiser
Butcher Level 2 lore of the great maw
12 Bulls with ironfists, full command and lookout gnobler
2 Mournfangs with ironfists and heavy armour
Giant

[El Antiguo Guardián]

Umm, go on! Expand your army to 2k!
Lovely army

[Eddie Chaos]

I just go a warhammer forge thunderlord in the post, he will be a unit champion for my mournfangs in 1500pts+ games

Grog Big Basher, Bruiser with giant breaker, heavy armour, ironfist and sword of battle
Butcher Level 2 with ironfist and the lore of the great maw
10 Bulls with ironfists, full command and lookout gnobler
8 Bulls with ironfists
4 Leadbelchers
3 Mournfangs with crusher, bellower, ironfists and heavy armour
Giant

[Eddie Chaos]

and now he is assembled and ready, its a lovely model. The snow on his base will cover his foot tabs don't worry I haven't forgotten them.

These are looking great! Very well executed. Not sure if you're using Gorgers, but this could be some inspiration?

[Eddie Chaos]

lol perhaps a cookie monster Yeti?

Oooo, I like how you think.

[Kronos]

Very cool, works very well.

tbh Including the other blue/frost ogre blog I'm starting to think ogres really suit blue, just as much as orcs suit green.
