Very Jason and the Argonauts-ish. Nice!

wtf? I thought the exact same thing! Those shields! Double-stunned cause I thought this film was not very well known and I only knew it cause it played in greek tv once in a while due to the fact that it's about greek mythology. It is a great film and the infamous skeleton scene is a must see. Trivia derived from IMDb: "It took Ray Harryhausen four months to produce the skeleton scene, a massive amount of time for a scene which lasts, at the most, three minutes."

edit: forgot to mention the skeletons look really nice. I don't particularly like the actual figures though. I imagine they must suck when unpainted and you brought them glory.

I love those skellies!

Yeah, they look fantastic!

The story is know here too. I probably saw that film when I was young too. Haven't watched any more recent versions / inspired films though.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm gonna ^^ I was aware of its existence.

My finished batch of Ogres!!

Some Bulls, Ogre warriors:


Some more, and a converted Chieftain or Lord:


And 2 bulls converted to Butchers. I love these guys



Now I need to finish 4 Ironguts for Champions, and 4 Leadbelchers for ranged Ogre warriors. I also have 2 banner bearers that I'll do last. Which reminds me I also still need to paint my Skaven banner bearer. Not much need for those in HQ, but still nice to have.

Excellent looking ogres there. nice neutral looking skin tones and great looking conversions on those butchers too!

[Anderas]

I like them. Would you take the challenge and give one of the other Ogres a non-white skin color?

Nah, ogres are supposed to be like this in my opinion. They're big, brutish humanoids. I don't like the greyish skin from the previous warhammer ogres, nor red or blue skin. That'd only work if you'd have a tribe of different ogres from some region or other. Chaos ogres might be red or purple, oriental ogres might be yellow, frost ogres blue perhaps, but I only use regular run-of-the-mill ogres for my campaigns, so they are white skinned. A bit on the pale side.
If I painted one differently, it would always be the odd one out, and I don't want that.

Those ogre look awesome ! I look forward seeing a quest report on those

It's a classic, every fantasy fan and cinema buff knows this early Harryhausen masterpiece.
do you know the Wargames Factory Skellies? Obviousely the modeller was a fan of this movie, too.

And 2 bulls converted to Butchers...

Ogrelix?

[Sjeng]

lol, actually that was the second ogre in the first picture supposed to be

I've also finished my 4 ironguts. I did take up a bit of a challenge, but not by changing their skincolour, but I went crazy on their pants
Excuse the bad picture, it's evening, and I had to use flash. Plus they're not varnished with matte spray yet, so the quickshade sealer is still glossy.
