Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16B: Wretched gets a mount part 2.

More work done on this project. I finally got some plastic glue so Wretched is now fleshed out as is the base. I have nearly finished with the fur on the Rhinox. Can't say I'm 100% happy with how it turned out but once it is covered in armour and painted I'm hoping it wont be so noticeable.

Anyway here are the latest pics for your edification.

This is the base. Its 100x50mm. The bottom is made from 2mm plastic with sprue around the edge to give
the chiselled look. The main rock is made from condensed foam covered on green stuff. The other rocks
are made from the same condensed foam. I will cover this in black paint mixed with PVA to give it some
strength. I want to do a bit more like a small tree etc.I just hope I don't go over board.

Rhinox on the base for size comparison. In Warhammer all the Ogre characters had Knoblars as sword bearers or to take the first hit etc so I am going to carry this on with this guy. He will stand in for the healing item for now.

The big guy on his mount. Sword is scratch built and will have some Fleur de lis' added to it. How its made is in the Tutorial section of this blog.

Another angle of Sirrah Wretched. You can see from these how the body, arms
and legs have been extended to make him the biggest ogre on the block

This shows the size comparison of my ogres compared to original.
This version of Wretched is about the same size as the other version
but as he is sitting down its hard to do a direct comparison.

So next bit is the Caparison for the Rhinox. Once that's done I can put a saddle on the Rhinox and start shaping Wretched to sit properly on him.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.

February League results

I’ll recap the rules for the league for this year as there seems to be some confusion. I’ll also try to justify why we have taken this route. Now if you feel this is a bad Idea feel free to argue your case and I will give it the consideration that it warrants. (Probably none as I have already made up my mind)

1.	Games must be played against other league players. (Last year we had a heap of games registered against randoms and most games were of little or no value, also you had players like Ado who was in an X-wing league and he was able to log a hundred games easily which no one else had a chance to compete with. So we collectively decided to keep the games in house. Now this doesn’t stop you from playing outside the Klub, in fact I encourage you to go play as many games against as many opponents as possible. But to try and get everyone involved we have decided our league is in house only.
2.	You become a league member by registering a game. So if you want to register a game with a non league player then register his/her games with yours.
3.	Each game will cost 50c to register. You can only register 4 games per month in each system. There are three tables. Warmachine, Starwars (covers all 3 games) and Kings of war.
4.	You can only log 1 game against the same opponent in each system.

Points for the following.

1.	Play a game
2.	Play the Leader. (Top of table from last month)
3.	Win against the leader
4.	Caster kill Warmachine only).
5.	Win a game.(no extra point for clocking out)
6.	Scenario win (Warmachine only)
7.	Tourney game (Mainly ours unless you play one of us in another tourney). Also points if you win a tourney or place in a tourny. 1 for a place (2nd and 3rd or just 2nd if 8 or less players.
8.	Travel, If you travel more than 20 minutes you get a point. So Ado, James, Jay and Graham. Also all the boys that went to Cancon and played games against each other. If like Ado and Jay you go to IF to play you dont get a point for travel.
9.	If you bring a new player into the league.
10.	The old usuals like fully painted army, a newly painted unit or charater, or a conversion or scenic base.

If you can think of more rules let me know.
Remember only 4 games in each system (Approx 1 per week) so pick your four best games.
Email or inbox me on Facebook with your games.

Cheers

I did a count back and it looks like jay has jumped ahead due to travel points. So unless someone else gets a game in before the end of the month it looks like Parfiet is the new King for next month. Or is that Queen?

Kort played the Efreet list 3 times and tabled all 3 armies. I'm not saying Efreet are cheaty (I am but no one will listen) but I'll leave it to the group to decide if they should be limited to 1 per army.

I know there is a tourney for KOW soon so if it’s in Feb we can log those games if the points are better for you, otherwise send me the games and I'll add them to March.

Cheers

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16A: Wretched gets a mount.

Way back when, when I played Warhammer (Sniff, sniff those were the days) I had a pretty good Ogre Army. As with most of my armies all the characters and units had names and back grounds etc.

My Ogre general was called Sirrah Wretched Thunderguts the Turd. He campaigned in Brettonia as a Man-eater and brought back some very strange ideas like wearing horse blankets over the top of his armour and using poncy names etc.

Sirrah Wretched Thunderguts the Turd with his Bretonnian Knight Sword Knobbla

Now that the group is getting into KOW I can reuse this old army again with a bit of rebasing. One of the things that KOW allows me is to mount my general. Now I could have used one of the other rhinox models I had but really this is just a great excuse to start a new modelling project.

Standard bearer for Rhinox unit that was a stand in for the Big guy.

So luckily I had one of these bulls left from a box of Bull riders I bought years ago from a company call Zvedka(SP). This is the Bull sitting on the 100 x 50 mm base.

These are all the bits to make the figure. There will probably be more to come though.



Ready to be beefed up (No pun intended)

I've done a bit more since this pic was taken so I'll post more pics as soon as I can. Let me know what you think.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 15 A: I can hardly Bear it





This will probably be my last project for my troll army for awhile. Group is getting into KOW and the old tingle is starting again for many conversions.

Anyway as part of my dirty dozen list I have a battle wagon. I really don't like the one PP made. I just cant see trolls making anything that intricate and complicated. So I am going to build one that looks like a stage coach. Unfortunately I ran out of glue so the body will have to wait. In the mean time I have decided that Tuffulo's don't really fit with my theme and as one day I may buy Bearka (and resculpt the stupid looking bear) I want all mounts to be bears.

I sculpted (really converted) a few bears for the Kislev army I did a few years ago so thought I would give it a go.

So the first pic is basically the armature. I probably don't really need to use the horse body but its good for size comparison and I have a heap left over from the Kislev project.

The rough Armature. I cant do the mouth and teeth myself

(Not really a sculptor so the wolf head will suffice.)

This is what I am aiming for as an end result.

Fleshing out the body.

Front view of course.

Not sure if I will put armour all over the bear.

I may do to make him look a little larger but I think two of them should do the trick

Closer look at the finished product.

Let me know what you think. Not fussed on the fur so hopefully the next one will look a little better.

Cheers
