Continuing with the Khorne warband, I've gone for my favourite (arguably) of the Jes Goodwin ogres. I'd painted one over 20 years ago SEEN HERE and this time decided to go for a different flavour of armour, although maybe I should have gone for red, in keeping with his master.
I'll probably hit the beastmen next, although they'll be scattered among a few other works in progress, there's quite a lot on the desk at the moment that I want to wrap up plus there's plenty going on in the old noggin that I need to get into production.
He's great! I like the restrained colour choices with his metallic armour providing a frame for his ruddy face. Seeing him side by side with the champion made me realise how big the old champions were / how small classic ogres are!
ReplyDeleteCheers Jon! Yeah I guess the armour does set the face off. Nice to pull that off by accident.🙂 I suppose there isn't a lot of difference in size now you mention it. Couldn't have him towering above the main man now!
DeleteLOoks great not everything needs to be red, more would detract from his characterful face. The shield looks interesting any chance of a clear view?
ReplyDeleteThanks John! Yes you have a point there. And I'll take a shot of the shield for you and edit it into the post when I get a chance later.
DeleteLovely Ned! Your warband is going to be really impressive by the end, I can already see it.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff mate :)
Cheers Shane! So begins the slightly laborious task of doing the beastmen. Plus there's the classic old gem from the Other table roll. 😉
DeleteI don't recall seeing this ogre before. Very cool looking figure. Looking forward to seeing this warband grow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean! Disappointingly this guy didn't come top of JB's recent Whats Your Favourite Jes Goodwin Ogre poll. 😂
DeleteLovely and scary. I really like the palette you used here and the whole result!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Suber! Yeah he's quite plain compared to a lot of the other stuff I've been painting lately.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteCheers Kym!
DeleteAwesome as always!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you as always!
