Re: Another Jez Goodwin Ogre
Cheers guys for the encouraging comments. Well this mini oldhammer project is now officially complete with the addition of the mercenary commander himself; Morguutt the Splendid:
As you can tell from the following photos, I really went for a colourful palette (which is not my usual style of keeping the colour choices quite limited), but I wanted him to look resplendent in his finery, to show his relative wealth and status as a Mercanary Commander:
Clashing colours and checks too! I'm particularly happy with the skin tone on this one and how the pink strides came out. I imagined I was using colours straight from the Monster Paint Set.
Note the brass etched foliage to his right, the first time I have used this and pretty happy with it. I'm still not too sure what those orange bits are; tassles, hair, ear ornaments?
Quite an intimidating camera angle..
Check out all the checks.
So as you can tell from all the photos, I'm really happy with how he came out and I also feel that I've actually managed to take some decent photos to do my painting justice for a change.
And here is my first (modern) completed 3rd edition unit! I always wanted these as a kid, but never had the resources, so some 25 years later I've re-imagined a dream. Weird! Led by Morguutt the Splendid, a level 20 commander, these tough and experienced mercenaries are officially ready for hire to the highest bidder (except any greenskin general - they can't be trusted).
These fierce fighting mercenaries have, on occasion, been bribed and then switched allegiance during a battle.
You want some, I'll give it ya!
5 Ogres: 190 pts
Standard bearer: 38pts
Level 20 Commander 240pts
Total: 468pts
Many thanks for looking!

Agreed. Very nicely done. The checks on the belts are pretty novel and quite nice. He makes a great addition to an already incredible unit. Well done.

This is excellent ! I love th eattention to details you put in that last one ! all those checks and all those colours and yet it works wonderfully because some colours are bright while some others are more subdued.
Great job .
Oh and yeah, the orange bits are supposed to be his hair (sorry for oversized pic) :
