I ain't no Juggalo...

But this sure helps get in the mood for some painting.

Buzzrog Part 2 : in the face

Did some work on the face tonight. Still some detail to finish, that most people wouldnt notice unless looked up close (like his gum).

I think i made up my mind about the warpaint ; Orange turning yellow. Testing should be happening over the weekend, depending if i get the time/motivation.

Buzzrog Part 1

So i started working on my second Savage Orc, named Buzzrog. He's much closer to the skin color i'm aiming for. I think i did a decent job with him. I still got loads of job to do, but i think its a pretty nice start, and only took me about 3 hours.

Orc and Goblins ; the list

My O&G army is something i want to approach differently ; I started playing my Ogres because i didnt like the idea of painting little models at 5 pts a piece. I started playing my Dark Elf because i wanted to win once in awhile (because lets face it, Ogre Kingdom wasnt really a powerhouse in 7th ed, especially since i was a beginner at that game). As my skill improved (both as a general, and as a painter), i decided to pick up a new challenge when i started my O&G. For that reason, this army is gonna be special.

I am not looking at the best list, or at a list i could take against anyone and have a chance to win. I want a list that i'll be able to bring to an evening game, and have fun playing it, no matter if its because i got extremely lucky or because my only main 2 units decided to fight each other 2 round in a row.

Arhugg

Didn't decide on the warpaint yet, but i've painted another Orc. Not too happy about how his skin came out ; he ended up much darker than i wanted, and for some reason the paint ended up really glossy too. But i like how the rest came out, and i think that a complete unit painted to that standard should look really good on the table...




I'll call him... Arhugg.

Next to wurrzag.

The fact that the skintone didnt come out as i wanted it will help also having different skintone amongs a unit.

Santa Claus came late this year...

Gotta love unexpected income. Despite the fact i wanted to wait that i painted what i bought before buying anything new, i couldn't stop myself.

So i purchased ;
2xSavage Orcs Box
1xArachnarok
1xSquig herd blister. (For temporary Squig Manglers)
1xGoblin Fanatic (old metal models, Whirling Death. for 12$, i couldnt resist).

Wurrzag Part 4 . Finished for now

I decided to stop working on Wurrzag for now. My attempt at finding color, or painting them failed so far, and since he's a character, i dont really wanna mess up the paint by trying new stuff. Here is how he look so far, and how he'll most likely look for a few weeks.

So until i feel confident about my choice, i got myself a box of Savage Orc today. Some pretty nice looking plastic models, easy to fit, and the joints are almost invisible. Still undecided if i'll try to cover up a very tiny gap, or if i'll just paint him as is.

Wurrzag Part 3

I completed most of the body, with only the staff left to paint, and the warpaint.

Wurrzag Part 2

Did a little more work over the past day on good ol' Wurrzag.

I painted his mask's wood. I'm pretty happy about the jaw look, but the rest will most likely need to be redone. I did some attempt at glowing, but failed miserably, so he'll just have standard eye. OSL is still too out of my league.

New Book, New Models, Lets get on painting!

Past weeks were quite eventful ;
- Painted for an upcoming tournament (which i failed to complete, btw)
- Participated in said big local tournament
- Orcs and Goblins release...

Wait, what? Yes yes, another army. My wallet is already crying, and my mind is already flying. It was, lets face it, a pretty small release, but the model included were simply amazing.  The savage orcs are imho very nicely sculpted (still badly painted, but that's a whole other story), Warzugg is also a very nice model, and the arachnarok..... wow.

But since i dont want to get involved in a new army that i lose interest in (kinda like my Ogres, sadly), i decided to start slow, and purchase one model. From there, i'll decide if i like the look enough for another box. And after that box, i'll ask myself again if i want to invest in that army...

So i went and got myself Warzugg, the "lets-turn-all-caster-into-squiggies" crazy head-dancing around the fire Orc. After roughly 3 night worth of works, here is what i have accomplished so far ;

I really (REALLY) enjoyed him so far, and i'm really looking forward to start my Savage Orcs horde
