Citadel C23 Ogre - Hrothyogg, mercenary captain

 


 After the intensity of the dwarf juggernaut project, I've decided to hold fire on another large scale venture so soon and thought it would be a good idea to tackle some single miniatures instead, something a little more manageable for now.

 I've decided on a bit of a Citadel classic, one that's pretty popular among the Oldhammer community, Hrothyogg the mercenary ogre captain.

 One of the second wave of Jes Goodwin C23 ogres, Hrothyogg was the first 40mm base miniature I ever bought back in 1986 when he was first released. My original one is long gone unfortunately but this cast has been sat in my random Citadel box for a few years now. 

 Annoyingly there is a bit if miscasting under the right arm but thankfully it doesn't notice too much when looking at him straight on.

 I don't have all of the Jes Goodwin ogres by a long shot but I'd say I do have all of my favourites. I may well tackle a couple of more of them this year seeing how much I enjoyed this one. 

When two legends meet - Gladius & Hrothyogg 

 So spending a couple of weeks on Hrothyogg has given me time to work out what to focus on next in the coming weeks. I think it's high time I tackled some of the classic Citadel undead models which I have had in mind for some time but up until now haven't quite got to greenlight stage. Plus after wanting to start a fantasy vignette for several months but not having a theme finalised, I may have a plan in motion for that.
