Empire Ogre - Old School with new colours
« on: September 19, 2011, 01:59:13 PM »
Hi all. This is the latest mini from my paint table. It's an old-school GW sculpt, but I decided to use some NOT so old-school colours.



Note: I tried a new technique with the white, but it didn't really work out how I thought it would, basically the shadows are too dark.

Lovely paint job!  :o


Seems strange saying this about an ogre but he's....beautiful.

He is VERY pretty! :-*

Excellent model (especially when one think's of GWs more recent Ogre incarnations... :?) and equally excellent brush-work.  No one's going to call him a 'poofter' for wearing pink, are they?

Unexpected choice of colours, wrong on so many levels but it works, he looks just like an ogre on the way to a date :)

Love that miniature.  Veeeery interesting color choice.  But only a bigger ogre would comment on it of course!

Lovely paint job.

I love it!

It reminds of my old gaming groups habit (in the late 80’s and early 90’s), of painting many a miniature with Bilious Green and Titillating Pink clothes. Ah those were the days  :)

Hey Blue

Thanks for that. The funny thing, is I tried to copy your technique in painting white. I looked long and hard at your empire stuff, and I remember you posted somewhere that you use many consecutive lighter shades to get get your minis looking so good. So I tried this on my white. I am not entirely happy with it, but it is a better white than what I have managed to do in the past. So thanks.

I will keep trying the white, until I get it as nice as yours.  :D

Just love this guy...and your PJ is  ;D ;D

Cheers,

Blue

That's surely a miniature only a "mother could love" ;) The choice of colours is .... interesting...in a "what have you been taking" kind of way - but painted to a very high standard. Another spectacular PJ, G2.

It takes a tough Ogre to get away with wearing pink...could account for most of his scar tissue. That aside, VERY WELL DONE!
