I started to work on my Ogres again, and I wanted to show you guys my army so far!
Bruiser/Tyrant:
Butcher:
Bull unit 1
Bull unit 2
Leadbelchers:
Giant:
And some WIPs:
Ironguts:
Hobgnoblars:
Butcher:
And a size comparison between a Bull, an Irongut and the Tyrant:
I remember seeing most of it, but it still looks as awesome. Out of curiosity, what are you using the Sigmar model as?
Hey what about your steam powered astragoth butcher?
Thanks

is there anything new except for the hobgnoblars?
No new models, but I've finished painting Bull unit 2, the Giant and the Irongut. Now that I've finished all ogres I sculpted/converted, it's time to finish sculpting the Irongut unit..
Out of curiosity, what are you using the Sigmar model as?
It's supposed to be a statue. All my bases are Empire themed.. to look like the ogres are walking through an abandoned empire village.

Oh yeah.. I forgot about my Butchers.. I'll add them in the first post!
I remember loving this army over on HoH and im glad you continued work on them. They are awesome.
Thanks for all the kind words!
Question: what colours did you use for the bloodstain on the giant's hammer? Tamiya Clear Red & Citadel Red Gore?
Tamiya Clear Red.. some Red Gore... some Chaos Black.. a little purple.. and some sand and flock to add texture ^^
Group picture:
Irongut Champ:
re: Irongut champ = fatter?
Well that matches the fluff I think - better, badder ogre = bigger ogre = more gut.
The Maw has been fed well, so to speak.
Yup ^^
My tyrant is the biggest ogre in my army, the Ironguts are halfway between the Bulls and the Tyrant in size, and the Irongut champ is just a little bigger than the other Ironguts.
I don't know how.. but I've finished my Hobgnoblars! The paintjob isn't the best.. and the picture is even worse..
And I painted the puppies for my Hunter!
This lack of greenstuff is really helping me focus on all the unpainted models! ^^
Looking good man! Don't forget some nice group shots as you complete more units.
The Hunter is finally finished! The first model I started to work on when I though of the Big Hat Ogres..
(just like usual, the pics look like crap. I'll try to get a better camera for some better pics soon..)
He turned out to be a huge guy!
Next to a Bull:
And next to my Giant:
Next project, Irongut Champ:
The hunter came out well and I like the idea of using the bull body as a nod in reference to bull centaurs. Is that the original hobgoblin bolt throwe rthat you've used as his crossbow? Either way, good work. The Irongut chmapion is looking good, with his giant scimitar
Is that the original hobgoblin bolt throwe rthat you've used as his crossbow?
Yup, it's just the Bolthrower without the erm.. wheels and stuff..
This is one of the complete Boltthrowers I have:
I thought it was. It looks brilliant and is obviously in keeping with the theme. However, I would suggest putting a lever under his hand to show he can shoot it.
While waiting for the greenstuff on my final Irongut to dry, I have been looking through my bitsbox today. I found a lot of hatless Chaos Dwarfs, and even some that still have their hats! So after a little Armybuilder fun, I found out I still have enough models to build a 1000pts Chaos Dwarf army. I will need to convert some models.. (mostly new hats or masks) and the army will have a lot of slaves, but I think it'll be fun to have a little Chaos Dwarf army to match my Big Hat Ogre clan! What do you guys think?

So I tried something new on a Chaos Dwarf.. so tell me if you guys like the new one or the old one.
On the left the Chaos Dwarf from my Chaos Dwarf army and on the right the testmodel:
I tried a orange beard on the Chaos Dwarf.. and it looks really good! I think I'll use that for my new Chaos Dwarf "battalion". I'll make some pics soon. And more good news, I got 5 extra Bull Centaurs!
But now I need your help! I almost finished the sculpting on my final Irongut, and after that all my Chaos Dwarf Ogres will be finished. But I'll only have 1700 pts max... so I need some more units to get a 2000 pts army (maybe 2250 for tournaments..). I have some plans for a Scraplauncher (with the new Juggernaut) but besides that I have nothing! I don't want to make another unit of Ironguts, because it's just too much work :p So I need you guys to help me think of ideas for new units... that fit my theme. So Chaos Dwarfy Yhetees.. Chaos Dwarfy Gorgers.. Maneaters..etc.
The black dwarf is great.
You could make some yhetee/gorgers/maneater "golems". Il see them as the jewish version (some elemental creature), not as the mechanical ones. Wathever you like.
Or some ogre bull centaurs to represent the rinox riders.
I'm not really a fan of the magical creatures..
However.. everyone seems to like the Bull Centaurs so I might try to add a unit of those!
And I have a updated pic of the Chaos Dwarf
Looking good. With the champion, I think it's the sleeves, perhaps.... May also be the beard, but I like the beard... loving the scraplauncher conversion!
Awesome work man, keep it up!
