Another month gone, and little to show for it, hobby-wise. My attention has been focused elsewhere lately, which is why you have not seen hide nor hair of me here or on other blogs this month. I’m hoping to get back into rotation soon and maybe even resume some paint -hangs on the Discord server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, a select few elites (including myself) in the hobby community got early access to a bespoke ogre miniature sculpted by Dave Stone over at Wargames Terrain Workshop<\/a>, created specifically for September’s painting challenge, where we’re all painting the same miniature. Although I’m kidding about the “elites” thing, I am happy to have been part of this challenge, and as the month passed, I realized I’d best get off my ass and start painting. Don’t want to disappoint Dave, after all…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the miniature in question, and man is he lovely (for an ogre). Dave really pulled out the stops on this guy. I like the tusk epaulette and the shields the ogre has used as armor, likely taken from foolish knights who tried to slay him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a few embellishments of my own, using some GW zombie bits, and I took a page out of Roger’s <\/a>book when I added some bloodstains to the stone axe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much bare skin, some tattoos were in order. I hate free-handing anything because I generally suck at it, so I kept the designs simple. Just a skull on his shoulder, the dags around his navel, and the coloring around the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My iPhone shows all, including the little spot of white that shouldn’t be there. Curses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you missed out on this miniature so far, fret not: Dave will be selling him to the rest of the world after this month. Be sure to check out his webstore<\/a> for this and many other cool miniatures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
