O&G Rampage Prep Part 1

Well Midwest Rampage is approaching on May 17th and I am needing to build my O&G Army up. Painting has begun but has been painstakingly slow. Personal life can really cut into that hobby time.

I am needing to have 3,000 points of my army painted and am determined to get a completely painted army on the table this year. This is saying a lot as much of my army is now over 25 years old. Many of my figs date from the late 80s and have never seen a drop of paint. This makes my army also unique as I have a high percentage of metal figures in comparison to many fellow gamers.

This is my unit of trolls, completely painted and ready to go. I used GW color Rotting Flesh (Old color) as a base with a flesh wash then drybrushing the rotting flesh back on. I then came back and dry brushed with a mix of Rotting Flesh and Bleached Bone. Final drybrush was just Bleached Bone. I wanted to go for a more stoney look than a human fleshy look and I love the effect.

And this is my Mangler Squig. I used the new GW paints on this and the Paint system for Khorne for the mangler color. Base - Khorne Red, Wash - Carroburg Crimson, 1st layer - Wazdakka Red, 2nd layer - Squig Orange, drybrush - Kindleflame, glaze - Bloodletter. this was my first test with the techincal paints from GW and I used the Nugle's Rot on the tongue for a wet effect. I used the Typhus Corrosion and Ryza Rust for a good rust effect on all the chains, etc. I love the effect it gives. I've decided to go with yellow cloaks for the Night Goblins in my army. I love the look over the usual black. I used Leprous Brown as a base on the clocks, a shade of flesh wash, then layered in yellow working it lighter until a drybrush of complete yellow.
