Age of Sigmar - Ogor Glutton (Nick)

Another 3 months on and to be honest this guy was done not long after the Savage Orruk of my last post, but I was holding back on the blog update as I intended to add rust effects.
A few experiments on spare weapons didn't achieve the result I was looking for so have decided to call him done for now as I like how he looks anyway, and I 'might' come back to add that rust en masse at a later date.


On a positive note, this 'is' the first of the Ogor Mawtribes destined for our Warhammer Age of Sigmar doubles tournament army as mentioned in the last post, sadly though we were unable to attend and neither army is at the stage it should be by now.

He is a straight out of the box Ogor Glutton model, or Ogre Kingdoms Bull for you old skool square base fans, updated for Age of Sigmar with a 40mm round base and the gutplate armour replaced with a round Chaos Marauder shield (as I had always intended for variation from the norm) which now added a nice tie-in with Carl's Slaves to Darkness chaos army - they have obviously been hanging around together (the Ogors probably attached as mercenaries), the chaos effects either rewards, payment or loot when they have turned on their paymasters!

Again this one was started with the brown zenithal prime I've previously used on my Orruks and Orks, although I had to redo a couple of times and mask off other areas with Airbrush Masking Putty as it seems a good, strong bone highlight is required for a smooth flesh tone - this also required a few attempts, pure Darkoath Flesh contrast paint pooled really badly however using Guilliman Flesh contrast paint to 'colourise' the primer and then Army Painter Flesh Wash to add depth achieved the result I was after.

The rest is Games Workshop's 'Contrast Paints' and my usual choices for gold and silver, metalwork aged with Basilicanum Grey contrast paint and Army Painter Strong Tone wash - the new Ratling Grime contrast paint would probably work really well here too.

So rather embarrassingly this is only the second finish of the year so far, however after some good hobby time at the weekend I'm looking at an end of year push like 2021 to get those numbers up!!
