Ogre Bully Boys

The rest of the ogre warband is done (except for the clear spray overcoat, which has been delayed on account of rain). In addition to the leader, Vourgha, the four ogre grunts are also from Reaper ("Garnuk the Ogre," x 4).

Hopefully I'll have Vourgha leading his band of bully boys into battle in the near future.

New Dice Rolling Tray

Mrs. Bard and I were out shopping the other day and I stumbled on a plain bamboo box (for a mere $5) that looked like it would make an excellent dice-rolling tray. Small footprint on my computer desk (which is where I'm playing now), sides just high enough to keep the dice under control, but not get in the way. Just had to line it with some green felt I had lying around to soften the sound of the dice and presto!

A dice rolling tray that's much better than the box lid I've been using for years.

Vourgha the Ogre

It's over two months (seriously!!) since I've painted anything. I can't remember when I last took a break that long. But I made some time this weekend to start on an Ogre warband for SBH. I bought the minis some time ago, but they've been sitting on the shelf.

I primed them on Friday, and painted up the leader yesterday and today.

Vourgha the Ogre from Reaper

He'll have four ogre grunts under his command. Hopefully since this is finals week and next week is spring break, I'll be able to finish up the rest of the band. It feels soooooo good to have a brush back in my hand!

He's rather a large fellow -- almost twice as tall as a human-sized figure.
