Sn-Ogre!?

I had a handful of ogres left over from a previous army so I thought I might stick one together as a test piece for the barbarians.
















I'm pretty pleased with how he's turned out - I'll probably end up painting another two or three so its more a game-able unit.

More Barbarians

I've painted up a couple more figures for the barbarians.
First up is a Slaine figure from Wargames Foundry. He's a wonderful sculpt - I decided not to paint him as Slaine is depiected and went for a colour scheme to match the rest of my figures. In retrospect I should have done a headswap to depart him from 2000AD a bit more - oh well!

I'm fairly pleased with how his fur cloak has come out. Though the metallics aren't as good as the last lot. 

Next up we have the marauder champion. He was released at the same time as the marauders from the last post. He's a decent sculpt but the pose is a bit awkward (I wouldn't wanted to have had to rank him up!)

Here he is leading his merry band of plunderers and pillagers. 

More Barbarians!

Inspired by the tiger riding chap in the last post I dug out these old Chaos Marauders from Games Workshop from the lead mountain. I'd picked them up cheap from ebay last year, not sure with what in mind (probably Frostgrave). 

I've always liked Dave Andrews' sculpts (his medieval swiss that foundry make are fantastic), they aren't always the best proportioned (big hands!) but they always paint up well and are full of character

I'm on the lookout for some more of these now - or the Bearmen of Urslo from the Dogs of War range, which match up nicely. Drop me a comment below if you've got some. 

Here's a group shot of the barabarians so far. Evil Big Boris from Heresy Miniatures has photobombed the picture - he was painted a while ago and has been based up to match.
