He Norks Hard for the Money

After the Primaris spree, the popular vote was in favour of Ogryns. So by a two-nil landslide, here they are, fresh from their debut in the last battle!

It seems ridiculously fast, getting these done in three short days (about five hours total). That's just in comparison to the slog of the last month, though, I don't think it's any more or less than I usually put it. Plus I had the incentive of a battle report to get them done for, which always helps.

I know he can't actually act as bodyguard to Inquisitors. He just doesn't accept that.

Three individuals, mostly because I desperately wanted to avoid doing more identikit paint schemes. They can be fielded as Bodyguards, and one of them is pretty clearly Nork Deddog himself. Not that it would stop me putting them out as a Bullgryn unit, mind you.

If I stumbled over another box set some time, they'd probably get done in the white and black Hagan Lampreys colours. That's a story for another day, of course, and there's plenty ahead of Ogryns on the shopping list before then!

Painting Guide:

• Undercoat - GW White spray
• The Hagan One - no details here, I followed the scheme previously listed for my Stormtroopers
• Black Inquisitor - armour done with Ulthuan Grey and White Scar edging after a Gloss Nuln Oil wash, a few Ironbreaker nicks and scars put on here and there. Red bits done with Khorne Red, Carroberg Crimson wash, Wazdakka Red layer and a touch of Wild Rider Red. Gold done with Balthazar Gold, Reikland Flesh Wash, Gehenna's Gold and Auric Armour Gold layers
• Nork - Death World Forest armour and trousers, given a Athonian Camoshade wash and layers of Elysian Green and Nurgling Green. Camo pattern done with Skrag/Gorthor Browns and Zamesi Desert/Averland Sunset yellows
• Flesh - Ratskin Flesh (a bit of black added in for Nork), Reikland Flesh, Barbarian Flesh (Army Painter), Kislev Flesh and Flayed One Flesh layers. Nork got some Dawnstone + Lahmian Medium washes on scalp and jaw
• Leather - Rhinox, Nuln Oil, Gorthor Brown and Ushabti Bone layers
• Metal - a variety of silvers along the Leadbelcher, Ironbreaker, Runefang and Stormhost scale, Nuln Oil to taste

And with that finished, it's back to the final Crypt Angels. Hooray!
