Good progress, well done!

The ogres look good too.

Monstrous infantry are hard to use well; so multiple units of one rank usually gives you the best chance of feeling they contributed usefully by the end of the game!

For weapons, you can just go "rule of cool" and give them whatever you like! You can even do a mixed unit, and just inform your opponent what you've equipped them with too. Considering these plastic ogres are relatively cheap (at least, compared to buying them all in metal during 4th/5th edition), you might perhaps get a second box and do a unit of each type!

Those ogres look cool modes and well painted!

Yep, those ogres do look pretty cool

Thanks chaps, I'm sure I'll get distracted before deciding what to do with the ogres.

Yeah distracted, got a mantic mystery box and ordered some extra sprues to make an Orc cannon, a brain itch that had to be scratched. I have decided that I hate those orc figures and am very glad they're finished so I won't have to paint them again.

After this I should swing back to the empire and undead armies, a conscious decision to focus and not just keep doing things at random, I'm wasting more time planning armies and looking for the stuff I need for them instead of getting something finished.

Another quick paint job done for no reason other than I found the blister while looking for something else.

I present Father Hackett, warrior priest.

Do warrior priests get the title of father/Brother or anything like that I couldn't find a reference either way so just went with it.
Also I was experminting with the flesh colouring, not sure how well it's worked.

Looks good

I agree. As far as the skin tone goes, it looks fine to me as it is. If you wanted to spend some more time on the figure you could try adding highlights on select areas (nose, brow line, upper cheeks, etc).

Thanks,

the skintone has washed out a bit in the picture, still trying to figure out the bloody camera, I was mixing contrast paints to try and create a more tanned tone to the flesh, anyway it's good enough for the two foot viewing rule which is good enough for me.

Not managed much recently but I did manage to add another ogre for the Reikland forces, oh and a unit of five with additional hand weapons from Altdorf.

Also I may have accidentally started a force of Lizardmen, or just bought a box of saurus to paint, we'll see.

Yay, more castle based things. Finally started making another bastion wall section, this one a bit more modern

, again no real plan just making it up as I go along.
Then a few dismounted pistioliers for a game idea that may or may not work.

And finally it's a dinosaur! Crew coming when someone can be bothered to finish painting them.
