If you thought I got those Ogres prepped quite quickly, you might not be surprised to know they got finished almost as quickly.
They are simple sculpts, as I said before, but whilst painting them I realised it felt almost like I was painting a set of Disney characters. With such wide, basic features and with their one colour tops, tights and hoods it was like painting some of the seven dwarfs (whichever ones the angry three are).
With simple sculpts its almost impossible (at my skill level anyway) to get anything but a simple paint job done. Contrast paints help to get the few small details that they do have to show up. Especially in the skin tone to the faces, which are very characterful. These are the first eyeballs that I have painted in years. Probably because, on these figures, I can actually see them.
Bases will follow at some point when the army gets done. Probably all in one go, to make it easier to match them all up.
They look great! 🙂 Well done getting them done so quickly!

I’m impressed with the contrast paints, I think these are the first minis I’ve seen painted with contrast that I genuinely think these paints might be worth looking at!

If you want to see contrast paints at Thor next search free folk on my blog. All my song of ice and fire stuff is 90% contrast.

I use them all the time and love them. They really speed things up.

Definitely useful additions to the set. Recently I have found that I have to remind myself to use the traditional paints.

Those certainly look the part.

Looking great, this may sound stupid, but they are a lot bigger than I thought they were going to be. I have only ever seen photos of them by themselves, so had nothing to show their scale.

The Playmobile stuff is nice and big and chunky but if you don’t mix them with more traditional gaming items they don’t look too big. Always nice to have a playably large boat instead of one that looks like it only holds the skipper and one mate…
