Thankfully, I had a phase when I wanted to start collecting an Orcs & Goblins army - so when I was back in Poland I looked through all the unused boxes in search of some new players to recruit.īlack Orc Blockers - those were easy, I just took some bodies from the Black Orc Warriors (Arboyz) box. Thanks to that, we also noticed that the basic team found in the box were somewhat lacking, not having the optimal amount of some useful players, like Orc Blitzers and Black Orcs. We got the video games, learned the rules, tactics, leveling schemes and generally got much better in it.

I don’t expect much out of them in terms of wins, but it’s a fun team regardless and I’ve played enough seasons competitively at this point.It's been some time since I finished painting my Blood Bowl teams and since then both me and my wife got into it very much. The team will be playing in the next season of Blood Bowl at my FLGS. I’ve talked about doing one for years now and I’ve finally done it. I can’t express how happy I am to finally have an Ogre team. This took me a good while to convert and get painted, but well worth the time and effort. I’m very happy with how the team came out. I see it being a more rushed type of thing. I can’t see Ogres being vain over having a perfect tattoo. This also lends to the idea that they are fading, but also that they weren’t perfect to begin with. The other thing I did was kind of sketch the tats and I didn’t aim to completely fill them in.

Tats that are years old will fade a bit, some a lot depending on sun exposure, and your skin tone will show through. See, about the only time a tattoo is dead black, if you have black in the work, is when it’s fresh. I also did my glazing and washing over the tattoos to help pull in the skin tones more. That not only let me use black to shade them, it just looks more realistic. This time I mixed some of the flesh color into black and that’s what I used. I’ve done tattoos a bit in the past but was never 100% happy with them. Lastly, I liked how the tattoos came out. I did some scratches and battle damage, which you have to do with Ogres, that kind of grounds the pink a bit – hard to explain my thought there. It took me a bit to work out the pink recipe I used but it was worth it. The armor in general I’m very happy with.

Simply put – you have full control and I enjoy that. I cover it in my NMM tutorial, but the beauty of NMM is every shadow and highlight is exactly where you place it, not a reflection of light. Not every piece of NMM is perfect, but I can still a huge improvement in my work with NMM compared to a year ago, or even a few months ago. Speaking of NMM, I’m really pleased with my work there. As I always say, it’s better to acknowledge your mistakes and move on than endless try to improve something. Still, I wasn’t going to redo the few I wasn’t completely happy with. I know this, I can see it, but I’m always afraid to keep pushing the contrast on skin. Skin should be more subtle than say NMM, but there should still be some clear definition. I struggle with getting the contrast I know I need at times. The skin technique on each Ogre is different and some were hits and some were misses. OgresĪs usual, which I love doing, every Ogre is unique. So, it just made sense to finally put that bunny to use and coach the Ogre team. The bunny would get moved around constantly and I’d find it in different places. I would be unpacking Chaos Marines and there would be a bunny in the tray. For years she would hide it in my gaming bags. My wife picked the bunny up at a yard sale or something. It’s what gave me this whole idea to begin with – that model. As you could see, the bunny “coach” is large, which is perfect for Ogres.
