Yes, he’s back, sort of. That goddamn talking skull and his friends. Go play.

OK, one of the other things I wanted to do with the new Less Is More is stick things I’ve modelled and painted in there. So while my usual target audience (ie, people who know me and will at elast pretend I’m amusing) will be a bit lost, people who like Warhammer models will at least have fun going “you can’t Green Stuff”.

So, without further adieu…

So yes,  in a world where man is 28mm tall and made of grey polystyrene, these guys are Ogres that have wandered all over the world, beaten up most other sentient races, been paid, and come home.

The guy on the right was the first one I made, and has been either to the continent of Lustria, or the depths of the Southlands. Not sure. Either way, he’s spent his years fighting with and/or against the Lizardmen who live in both places. He’s taken/been given a sword by a Lizardman warrior (taken from the new Saurus spruce), a great golden plaque for a gutplate (the thing on his tummy, an old Saurus shield) and to decorate his ironfist (the thing on his other hand, the snake thing I sculpted). The lizardscale robe was done by pushing balls of Green Stuff (a type of modelling putty) into the model. It looks crap now, so I might well redo it if I can.

The guy on the left is a more recent effort, and has been living with the Dwarfs. And everyone knows what Dwarfs like - armour. I had started him with a puny beard and only a helmet (made in Green Stuff, with horns from the old Dwarf spruce), but that looked crap, and after goading from  the folks of /tg/, I coated him in Green Stuff and poked dots in it to represent chainmail. And its not too bad. His gutplate is just a Dwarf shield, his axe is an old Dwarf axe. Just for good measure, that pistol he’s waving around is a handgun from the new plastic Dwarf Thunderers. He also has a splendid beard in Green Stuff. You sadly can’t see his pegleg (I needed his foot for another model), made from a steam drill (a drill used by Dwarf Miners), or his barrel of beer made from a metal Dwarf barrel.

I want to make another to have a unit of three, each with one of the Maneater weapons (Longsword, brace of handguns, and double handed weapon). However, I’ve got more important modelling things, let alone other life things, before I do that. Possibly an Ogre who’s spent some time with the Orcs, but I’m not sure what great weapon would work (note that the Dwarf-Ogres axe is a slightly bigger double handed axe itself!)
