Da Green Horde

I managed to finish two more Ogres/Ogors of the Red Maw Tribe, a Leadbelcher and an Irongut. I did the basecoats almost exactly one year ago, since I wanted to submit them to the last edition of Dave's "Paint What You Got" challenge, but didn't manage to finish them - so I'll submit them to this year's challenge instead. Both Ogres are slightly converted. The helmet and weapon of the Irongut are from the Mournfang Riders kit, which offers a nice collection of two-handed weapons and armour.

I went with an upright pose, since I wanted to put the wolf on a square 25mm base like the other miniatures. As the Chaos Warhounds are a bit smaller than regular Warhammer wolves, this worked like a charm. I went for a rather simple paint job, using mostly drybrushing and Contrast paints - I'm quite happy with the result
