Ogre Kingdoms - The secret revealed

I am kinda glad it is so watery though... makes wet blending the flesh on ogres easy even if i am running out of saliva ahhh have dirty wash water _{to lazy to dilute???}

if the good ones were beter quality then you wouldnt use so G.D. much of them to get a decent colour... Christ I got 10 year old pots of Citidal (thats right) paints that I just reconstitute with a little water and wa laa instant old colour nolonger made ;D

Nah i havent even asked if vagabond has a position available... check it out anyway, I havent seriously played table top games in like 6-8 years cause there were to many over excited kids... I'll be fair and say bad habits and other addictions did fill up a year or so of that time but STILL. Besides, Their is more to me than some kinda freaky model painting machine =]

and in a vain atempt to stop other guess, the only prize you will get is a big hug without warning =] You will NEVER know when it might stike MUHAHAHAHA

Yeah, i do tend to get a lot done. though since the contest i have found it hard to stay on one job. True i have been working nearly constantly on the Ogres since month 3 of the contest but still, wheres my damn 80 figures a month now huh =]

in my defense I spend between 1 and 2 hours getting all my tools etc. out and packing it up again after (stupid no space to work. the way I see it now is that I dont HAVE to waste that time anymore... well unless I need to clean up a bit for a wargame... I think now though I would have to lay out all my stuff single layered to cover all the available workspace...

I love working on the ogres though. 8 models to make a HUGE point cost unit and ogres have no more detail than a regular sized trooper, the detail is larger (I paint the ogre skin using almost ONLY a size 1 brush).

Once i get down to it though I am going to have a poo load of converted gnoblers if I want to go with the no two figures alike thing though... but after making 16 trappers in one night I got no worries about spending a disproportionate amount of time on them...

Even though most of the things i have read about OK is that they are unbalanced for the metagame and not nearly equal to other armies in cost and troop selection (ie they are a crap army unless played properly). And DESPITE the awfully cast plastic models with their disgustingly large flat undercuts and the impossable amounts of mold lines. Oh and lets not forget the 1.5mm gap between the gorgers waist and torso (and that impossible lower jaw). I love them. You would think that funny shoulder joint and option of two indenticle but mirrored posses would be hard to do anything with but they are actually easy to convert.

I dont think i ever shared my secret for repositioning flat joint (eg ork arms) arms quickly and sculpting free.

I started converting ogre arms by pinning them but dont! Instead get some knead it multi purpose. it dries in like 5 - 10 minutes so just cut a disc and mix it up a quarter at a time. use it like bluetac but scrape off the extra bit. then use you Pityak approved Green Stuff (Plug) to add in the details.

You can even do the legs the same way but dont! pin them so you know the legs will be the same length ;D

BTW all this prattle about ogres is in some attempt to swing this post back on topic
