PAINT AID Ogre Standard
This took a LOT longer than I was expecting, I had to rush it somewhat, but hopefully its come out OK. I painted it in four sections, Ogre, Standard, crows nest and Gnoblar. It didn't really end up like I was envisioning (especially the banner Great Maw), but I think he's quite striking, which is cool for a standard. I stumbled across a new way of doing bronze for the gut plate, whilst doing the trousers, I spilt red paint on the finished gut plate, so I got a lot of water on my brush and started to wash it off, it went in all the crevices and I thought it made it look cool, so I actually added some blotches of red mixed with black ink (to make it red brown) to the gut plate. Doesn't come out in the pics too well, but I think it improves it. Seeing as he was so busy already I kept the tattoos simple, just some teeth on his left shoulder. I kept with the theme of red sheilds with CMON on the scroll, clearly this band of Ogres has defeated some knights of the CMON Order in the past :) Comments welcome (although no complaining I didn't finish his earings, I noticed that after the pic and he now has little gold rings holding the rocks).
