Excellent effort with Ludwig.

I loved painting Ludwig (my friends not mine otherwise I would have posted it) I just thought assembling him was the crappy part... that damn sword arm

Bravo - I'm envious

Damn you "The Adventures of Florin and Lorenzo" novel by BI, damn you to hell!

I vouched to never touch Ogre Kingdoms again but the Savage Kingdom novel (found in the trilogy above) was so moody that I had to mysteriously get a hold of an OK battalion. I promised myself not to open it, as my weakness for miniatures is well know (well you know, all gamers suffers from this predicament). Said and done, broke my promise, assembled six bulls and well the rest will shown here shortly.

In the meantime I bought back my Maneaters that a guy did for me some time ago that I sold back to him when I lost interest in having too many Ogres for my Empire army (I saved only my greatswords). Now he never used them, even if I did paint one of the gut giants in his Empire army, Averland. So today I got them back for my own stash. While the GW maneaters are excellent, like the butchers and other heroes I find them too big.

Here is one of the bastards and I painted him for a competition over at TWF some time ago (he came second).

Here are the rest, just started, and I am still puzzled what province they should have fought in before returning to their tribe.

Ideas are welcome.

A short update of the rest of my other two armies... The halberdiers is getting color but I am somewhat pissed that I sprayed them white as it feels like it takes longer to paint. The first row is complete however and only needs to be based. I am also painting/finishing my own commissioned Ratlings for my IG so when those two units are done, I will update this log again.

Ta!

@ Shadowlord: First of all, its a really nice army you got there

I really dig your style of painting alot! Is it possible that you could explain how you painted the woodgrain on the pistols & barrel?

Malvino · « **Reply #32 on:** February 21, 2009, 11:03:00 AM »

man i love your freehands! that skull on the halberdiers banner is stunning!^^
the skin tones are pretty good too, as the wooden part, but otherwiese the metal has no shadow ty to use some ogryn flash and leviathan purple,
good job anyway

IIRC, I did it with a graveyard earth, highlighted with kaki and a mix of bleached/white.

Must be the pics or your screen as the metal is in 3 shades plus 2 - 3 glazes.

damn shadowlord i love your style and I envy the amount of models you have.

fbjorn · « **Reply #35 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:47:53 PM »

Fantastic minis!
Ludwig is great. I especially like the attention you have paid to the banner and particularly the 'Karl Franz on Griffon' side.

Ogres are out again... Except for my Empire Ogres (20 of them in total).

I am currently working on a unit of 8 Bulls with full command, two characters, and some Ratlings. I suspect they will be completed in about a fortnight but with my line of work they might take longer. As soon as I finish them I will upload the pics here in this blog.

But before that happens I just want to show you what someone, who is new on this forum, painted for me by commission.

Why commission stuff? Because I HATE PAINTING HORSES (got rid of my own) and well, the rest followed in a batch I sent the guy.

Click here for his own excellent Speed Painting Blog!

theVenerableThaumaturge is also known as Old Fogey, and is one of two Masters of Grime over at TWF (and the SOB who always beat my ass when there was a painting competition).

These models have made me proud on the battlefield, especially the two knight units (the first is for my general, and the second for my Grandmaster, seen above with the rest of the pics).

Stay tuned for some of my own painted stuff.

Dino! · « **Reply #37 on:** March 09, 2009, 07:51:10 PM »

Very cool kinghts. I'm tempted to go get three boxes and get painting right now.

Shadowlord · « **Reply #38 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:53:37 PM »

Yeah, when painted correctly the knights look sweet.

Here are some WIP of my Empire Bulls. So far they have been fun to paint and quite different from ordinary humans. The clubs are a tad bit big but the guy who made these for me wanted some comical looks with these harbour bullies as they entered the battlefield. Also notice the bellower's massive gut.

BTW, here are my 12 bitz boxes that I have filled with just Empire goodness. Some of the gems include 300+ 6th ed. Empire Soldiers, 80+ metal flaggies, and truck load with handgunners, spearmen, pistolier legs etc. from 6th ed. Yummy and daddy's prized treasure. And yes I cut everything I had into these boxes except for 2 Batallion boxes 6th Empire. When I get the time, they too will end up in these almost filled boxes.

The green shields were made by the most excellent hiker Otaku.

Shadowwolf · « **Reply #39 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:56:20 PM »

Oh, my

That IS a LOT of bitz...

So now that yu've sorted them, what are you going to make out of them which will not cause disruption within?

(You could make a very large chaos spawn? Out of ALL the bits?)

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #40 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:01:43 PM »

Since your boxes are nearly overflowing, how about selling one of those two batallion boxes to lil ol' me ?

Albrecht von Hinkel · « **Reply #41 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:18:16 PM »

Holy smokes!

Merrick · « **Reply #42 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:18:49 PM »

How about giving one of the batallion boxes to lil old me?

Albrecht von Hinkel · « **Reply #43 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:20:45 PM »

You've finished your army, Eight, you don't have a need for it

How about giving me one?

Dunrik · « **Reply #44 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:24:06 PM »

*sits down with some popcorn and watches the row lining and begs Shadowlord give them one of his boxes*

Yeah, had you been living close (I bet your parents thank God you do not), you would have gotten one.

But I bought three old Bats for the cannons and the soldiers, and gave away the knights (24 to Mathi).

No way I am shipping the gold plastic of 6th ed.

Not even for soth (whom I otherwise have been generous too).

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #47 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:52:57 PM »

True and appreciated.

Albrecht von Hinkel · « **Reply #48 on:** March 10, 2009, 10:04:50 PM »

I would almost drive to you for 6th ed. state troops

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #49 on:** March 10, 2009, 10:09:42 PM »

A truly frightening collection of excess. My congratulations and envy.
