watchya dudes
just recently i've been getting one of my bi-anual warhammer fantasy jones's. normally i manage to ignore it until it goes away but this time it came on just as Ikky anounced the
tail of x gamers project (it's almost like he knew when i'd be at my weakest
) so i've semi decided to go for it!
i've chosen ogres rather than any other army for a few reasons, well 2 really...
1) they present the most modelling opportunities for a guy with imagination and GS skill such as myself.
2) they're fairly easy on the wallet
i'm reliably informed that the battallion box is nearly 1k pts for £50 so i won't feel the pinch.
so with the decision (more or less) made, i've been scratchin my head over themes for the force. naturally it'd have to be something a bit special and challenging, wouldn't be worth doing otherwise
i wanna run some ideas by you guys and see what you think.
ogre army themes
-pirate ogres
damn both jonny depp and orlando bloom to the pit of hades! plenty of bandannas, tricorn hats and peg legs with a noticable absence of parrots. down side is that it's been/being done by others.
-viking ogres
not really sure, will have to do a bit of research.
-barbarian ogres
probably loincloths and horned helmets a la conan the barbarian perhaps
-slayer ogres
as in spikey orange hair, braided beards and axes a plenty. seen it done else where so it's not as original as i'd like but almost too cool to resist.
-mongolian ogres
pretty self explanitory but since ogres already have a fairly mongolish feel to them it's probably the least challenging option. i'm sure with a bit of research i could up the tempo some
-araby ogres
turbans and dark skin tones, not many other ideas for this one
-zombie ogres
does what it says on the tin. rotting flesh and mouldy clothing.
-chaos ogres, probably nurgle
could really go to town on mutations and such.
-highlander ogres
this one captures my imagination a lot. looks wise a mix of
braveheat and the woads from
king arther. blue and white tartan, blue warpaint on the face and maybe the arms, kilts, plaids, the full scottish sh'bang. not sure what id do with the gnoblars but that's a bridge i'll cross when it comes to it.
irhgt then folks, what're your thought? any themes leap out at ya? got any other ideas i could run with?
thanks for readin
