Maneaters Warband [BtB]

We are planning a new Bordertown Burning campaign this year, but after summer. My undead have won the last campaign, but next time I want to play something else. So I decided the ogres will be the best choice Most of the warband is now ready to be painted. Still missing 2 halfgrowns and 1 youngblood, but I hope my husband helps me with this

The first painted models are gnoblars. These little fellows are maybe not big, but took me extremely long time to paint them

The bases are not only snow-covered rocks, like in the restless dead warband. In the mountains, where the ogres come from, lies snow but there grows also grass.

I will be posting new pictures as soon as I paint something new

vary cool lot. Can't wait to see more

Likey likey!

Great looking little guys!

The Gnoblars are VERY COOL Little Guys with an abundance of charm & personality which your WONDROUS brushwork captured SPLENDIDLY...VERY WELL DONE!

Wow what a great painted group of gnoblars!

Extremely cool stuff! I really look forward to seeing the big guys.

Well, the big guys will come in time... I will paint the sabretusks before

Ah, ok. Also nice.

So... the sabretusks. I love these models. We were lucky to buy old metal ones on ebay

They do look great indeed. Great job!

VERY COOL! When the Ogre Army came out my friend Capt. John, being an impulse buyer, picked up the Army Boxed Set; he then decided he hated it & gave it to moi. I fuzzied up the Saber Tusks with static grass & painted/based them. They've been sitting there waiting for the Hunter now for years. HOWEVER, I think your FINE rendition of the Beasties just gave me a needed push to finish the trio. It's not every piece that can provide motivation...thanks....I think.

Your brushwork & basing are up to your normal OH-SO-HIGH standards. I love the way you did the stripes. VERY WELL DONE!

Love the work you did on the gnoblars! Great use of colours on the clothes and green skin.

Makes me want to paint my own...

Great paint scheme on the Sabertusks. Really like that.

A really superbly painted warband, waiting to see the ogres too

A little late, but it's here - the first ogre (bull)
I finished the second one last night, but I need to take the pictures.

VERY WELL DONE! Your color choices & brushwork are as SPLENDID as always. The tattoos are a nice touch.
My only critique is that the shading on the flesh might be a bit too severe.

This might be my problem with the ogres, I fear. The flesh surfaces are big and sometimes it's hard to shade it properly.
I hope it's still nice looking, though.

I was about to say that the best thing about the Ogre is precisely the skin - not so much the shading, but the highlights. In fact, this might be your best work in terms of painting "human" skin.

You could go back and slightly correct the shading and make it more subtle. It shouldn't be too difficult, given your painting skills.

I agree: large areas of any color, particularly flesh, are hard to give a smooth transition of colors. AND the Big Guy does look EXCELLENT.

Excellent work on the ogre!

Can't wait to see the rest of the warband.

A little delayed, but now it's here... the 2nd bull.

A really impressive paint work, I like your bases too.

The Big Guy is BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. I love the striped trousers; for moi, they add to his mercenary nature. VERY WELL DONE!  

VERY nice water effects on his base!  I like it.
