Eagle eyed readers will remember my Chaos Ogre models from the sixteen or seventeen articles I did on them a while ago. I’ve spent some time mulling over whether to scrap what I’ve done with my Ogres, and just do an entire army of Nurgle Ogres. Its certainly been a tempting idea, a Bruiser with a Battle Standard has been on my To Do list for a while, as has a Nurgle Bruiser. And perhaps tinkering my Slavegiant, give him those hooves you get, and replace the beergut I crudely carved off him with a huge, weeping gut. But I’ve neither had reason to, nor the money.
The latter problems being sorted by me getting some work recently, and the former… not so sure about. Reading this months White Dwarf, I saw Forge World have brought out some Nurgle-themed Ogryns, mostly with a Traitor Imperial Guard army in mind. In two minds from the pictures I saw in paper, I went to their website to get a better look.
That paint job utterly ruined that idea for me. They wouldn’t work as Ogres. They certainly don’t work as Ogryns. At best, they might make some interesting Chaos Spawn in a normal Chaos army, or perhaps some unique Gorgers in the aforementioned Nurgle Ogre army, but I wanted Tyrants and Bruisers first, not just shambling monsters.
Ah well, back to the writing block. Thankfully not the writers block, I’ve got plenty of material for my story yet.
