You could have bolts of energy in-between the hands to hold the runes in place.

Quickie:

First basing attempt for these guys i think is a success. Painted the fur cuffs on the hands and feet but i was drunk (on mead for inspiration) so i don't like how they turned out. But yea all and all shaping up. No updates on the new sculpt as of yet.



Once the paintjob is all done i plan to frost his boots and the cuffs of his pants a bit too.


Edit:

Jobs a good 'un!

That is some great progress, and very true to your concept sketch! Well done! I think he adds some great diversity amongst your models, while still keeping the theme going. Nicely done

I'm not a big fan of the "big, dumb, ogre teeth" sticking up, though. Have you thought about ditching them at all?

Keep it up!

Cheers,
Rawson

Good call, those need to go.

Man that standard bearer is a beast ( in a good way), Keeping the long hair is giving the unit cohesion, even though yu vary the style a bit.
I also like the basing you did, all in all, very very nice.

MOAR PAINT!!!

Seriously, he ended up noticeably bigger than the others in height and bulk. I've even considered armoring him up and making him an official Bruiser BSB. And i'm trying on the paint! I just cant bring it to work like i can GS and a few tools!

sculpting as always is great paint work is superb even though i dont like the colors chosen but the way i see them (greys and whites along with darker browns for the pine tree look ) and your vision for them is different looking foward for more

): its been a little bit since last update i hope you havent stoped!

Just busy, day off finally so I hope to have something for tonight or tomorrow!

yaay looking foward to it

Happy Ogre Day!

I got a bit more done yesterday, no paint though(sorry). Shaman is coming together but i fething did it again without even thinking. Left foot perched higher than the right. I think i blacked out when i was modeling it then when i came too i had another Captain Morgan model...

Ugh... I think i have a disorder or something...





Oh well, it will look good. I just need to be careful lest i wind up with a theme i didn't intend for. More work will get done on him tonight i hope but with the new book and playing with the new toys i get (Stonehorn/mournfangs) im not sure how really productive i'll be.

Also, here is attempt 1 at ice basing:



Just the calm water effects so far but i think ill lightly drybrush with white so its still mostly glossy but a bit frosted in addition with the snow. Hopefully it turns out. Still need to paint the majority of it before i blizzard it up.

Sorry for the delays but works been killing me....I'm escaping soon though!

Thanks everyone!

Keep up the awesome work, love the base too.

Bases are looking great and i like how you sculpted his calf it looks great as well...like always

Got more work done on the Butcher/Slaughtermaster/Runeshaman! I'll just show the WIPs and explain after:









So there he is so far. Still mostly true to the sketch, but it was not really heroic or lordly so changes needed to me made. Hence the staff, I'm making him older looking but ogre casters are still beastly in combat so i needed to give him something convincing but still fairly wizened. I'll be hanging various pelts and totems off of it too and he'll still have the cascading runes in his hands.

I'm really happy with the head and his sweet Sam Elliot 'stach so far. I plan to give him a sweeping cloak off his right side too with a fur on the top like a chaos warrior or half the cast of Game of Thrones.

So yea that's it so far. He still has a lot of clean up needed on the GS still but so far I'm pretty damn happy. I also bought the Stonehorn and Mournfangs and i do say i will make something suitably epic...


...But that's a tale for later.

Great sculpting, thats amazing!

I agree! The head is frickin' awesome!

Is that where you got that giant jawbone thing on the shaman's staff? I can't place the bit...

Always a pleasure catchin up on this thread.

Rawson

Dude your green stuff skill is awesome!!!!

I reckon that the ogre caster should be pointing at someone, sort of under his arm direction. Maybe a fireball comeing out of his hand? I dont know Ogre magic at all. Also an arctic wolf familiar or the like would be pretty cool.If they are Norse based then wolves or serpents are pretty good for the theme.

Thanks, and yea it's the Hunter "saddle" from the Stonehorn. I thought it looked awesome and just the right amount of over the top..

Impressive stuff. Overall nice and different take on the ogres. Really like the poses and the amount of detail you have put on these models.

Keep it up

Your sculpting never fails to amaze me Pete. Those feet are incredible! Your Dr. Wily is missing some hair though.

The axe/scythe thingy looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure about the pose. It wasn't in your scetch, so I'm not sure where you want to put it. Over the shoulder always looks pretty bad-ass, but I'm not convinced it's the right thing to do with the Shaman. Besides the fact that it looks more like a warrior than a magican pose, I don't think it would work with the other hand where you planned to put it.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Maybe the Shaman could be holding the sythe/axe with the hand you have modeled now and casting runes onto the ground with his off hand. You could have the off hand a little off to the side with a post-fling sort of look. Just a thought

Thanks peoples!

Well the original sketch was for sure an old magic user, but now that Butchers/SMs can be given a wider variety of gear i wanted to give him some teeth so to speak. I want his apparent age to almost mismatch with his casual yet threatening pose. I think once i get all the totems and fetishes on the staff it will look better. I want people to see it and say "Cool staff! Oh Hey, it's almost like a scythe!" and not the otherway around, i think paint will help since its bone and not steel like the plastic since to give the impression of. Also without the runes and cloak he for sure looks more "brawlery" rather than wise.

In short I'm trying to make Frosty Wan Kenobi basically.

haha loving the stach' on the shaman.
Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you do with the stonehorn kit

Looks real nice man.

Awesome work.

More work done but still lots to go. Tons of cleaning on basically everything and the cloak is still just a first pass frame needing detail, sanding, and weathering. He also needs the furred mantle.

More work will get done today though!

The poses you creat are so natural and dynamic. Keep up the great work!

Exceptional green stuff work, as always.

Still think the staff under the arm looks weird though.

WTF? That guys fantastic! The runes bits are amazing.

The blue skin is coming along nicely as well.

Oh crikey. I'll be honest, I wasn't entirely sold when I saw the rough sculpt. I am ashamed of my lack of faith in your awesomeness!
