EAT! EAT! EAT!
To bolster the ranks of my Ogor Mawtribes army, I recently painted two ogors/ogres on Mournfangs. I'm using them in AoS Spearhead, but they could also be used in TOW for the Ogre Kingdoms. As a side note, with the recent announcement of the new ogor models, the Mournfangs have now gone out-of-print, being replaced by Maulbeast Cavalry.
For the fur of the Mournfangs, I followed the painting tutorial for Fenrisian Wolves by Matt's Hobby Hour. I highly recommend his channel if you're interested in Contrast-style paints, he shows a lot of interesting techniques. In this case for example, the fur was painted by layering Contrast paints on top of each other and no dark brown paint was used - that's grey on top of lighter brown tones.
As always with ogors, I had to take advantage of the exchangeability of their kits, so I used a head from the Gluttons for the champion. I didn't glue the riders on their mounts, so they can be removed or swapped at any time and are also easier to transport. Next up will be something mean and green..









Excellent work on both snapfit, great kitbashing to add variation. Shame about GW discontinuing models, but that is normal for them, encouraging people to buy their new kits ! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Dave! Yes absolutely, and the new models are really cool, so I'm okay with the old ones being replaced.
DeleteExcellent work on those (I still think of them as ogres).
ReplyDeleteThe fur does look great, I'll be trying that myself.
Thanks! I can only recommend trying it out, it was very interesting to find out that Contrast paints can be used in different ways than just "one single coat".
