Hi everyone, happy new year! It’s Amy back again with another showcase of my Ogre collection. This time I am showcasing two of my character models, the Firebelly and Butcher! Click to view more!
As soon as I saw the Firebelly in the catalogue of models on the Games Workshop site I knew I had to buy him. What a beautiful sculpt it really is! I really enjoyed painting him and I am really happy with how he came out, I think he is quite possibly one of my favourite models I have ever painted!
Due to the ice scheme I already had going with my Ogres on their bases and their weapons, I thought this was a really good opportunity to create a really nice contrast between the fire and ice. I think it has come out really nicely, I’m sure he would melt a lot of ice with his fire breath! I achieved the flame by gradually blending up through whites, yellows, oranges, reds, and then I added some smoke to the edges using sponging of brown and black.
I would also like to take this opportunity to showcase another of my character models I have finished for my collection, the Butcher!
I really enjoyed painting the Butcher. I used this opportunity to really make him look gritty and gruesome. I used Blood for the Blood God and sponged it on to create blood splatter on the metal of his weapon and his apron. I also added Typhus Corrosion on his clothes to make him look grimy.
I think the Ogre characters are really nice sculpts, and I thoroughly enjoyed painting them. I’d love to know what you think about them in the comments!
How did you base the models? I really like the look of that ice, better than other stuff I have seen
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it and think that, that's nice to hear! 🙂 it's basically texture paint (a mix of grey paint, sand and crushed oyster shells) applied, then once dry drybrushed grey and white, glazed blue, drybrushed white again, then clear crackle glaze applied on top, then glazes of green and blue, then more white drybrush then 3D Gloss on top. 🙂
