I`ll post these guys officially on CMON but for now I wanted to show them off on here untill I get better pics.

These guys were painted for the Richmond VA RTT painting comp first off. I spend the entire night before the comp. painting up ogres for the
squad catagory only to be told that I could not enter them because
they had to be a squad of 5 or more which I never remember seeing. I
tried to look for a WD300 to re-check what I had read but they didn`t
have one in the store and his flyer said 5 or more. After getting home
I flip open my WD300 and of course there was nothing about 5 models or
more!! :mad:


This first guy is supposed to be a butcher since there were no models on the release. I got the defiler mask idea right away but took me some time to convert it up and paint it but as far as I can tell its the first. I just wanted to try and be original... :idea: Everyone can now feel free to copy it...

The Axe is made of plasticard and yes I know it looks way too big but it was my first time making such a thing....

Here is a group shot with 2 test models that I used to create a process of painting the entire army. I use an airbrush for the basecoating and larger highlights and then black line and do the minor details.

:eek: That\'s going to be an incredible looking army! The butcher is an awesome conversion, with a nice paintjob. The metals are very well done, particularily on the axe (which is perhaps a tad overdone :D) Great idea for the mask, it looks quite intimidating, and it already looks better than those horrible butcher models they are releasing.

@ maxxim, I personally think that the axe size is perfect. They are after all ogres, and ogres are incredibly strong. At least in D&D that is, not sure about warhammer, scratches head, hell they must be they are after all Ogres.

I think that you did a nice job making the armour look worn. :D

These should look really nice on a table.

The only thing that I might change would be the grey stone on the base, it looks too simialer to the skin tone and does not match the surounding area. You could alway\'s add loose stones or dirt to break up the color\'s.

I agree, i think the axe is very suiting for a butcher, i like the skin tones a lot aswell, personally i don\'t really like te helmet design though, it\'s probably because i\'m not used to seeing ogres with helms! :p but its a very cool idea nonetheless, it will probably grow on me once i\'ve seen it a few times, this is going to be a veeerrry nicy army i think. :cool:

I\'m loveing the Big Axe, it really adds to th eethos (I think thats the right word lol ) of the army. You airbrushed most of them? What type of airbrush do you use?

I lovet the skintones. The axe is a little big. Just tell everyone it\'s a Siege Axe, or give it some kind of cool name like the the harvester or Elephant Ear.

Now for the toonie bonus question;

what Fantasy Novel did the name Elephant Ear axe come from?

very cool.

That helmet/mask thing is a very good idea. The axe is incredibly over the top (which works great for Ogres!)
