Grimdark, "Black Metal" Rat Ogor, Part 1:

 So in my painting adventure, I had picked up some rat ogors because I always liked those brutes, and decided to play around with making some of them. Using some barbed wire, model chains and other bits I added some embellishments. I have now finished the first! Just a big, nasty brute in a place with a lot of skulls and stuff. 

(The second and third are slated to be plague-based, and *probably* ice-based, knowing me, but we'll see. I might do him similarly to the first. Or similar to the first, plus ice.)

Tried to add cool little effects to the base. I discovered I liked basing quite a bit, and I think when I get all three done I might try to make a bigger thing for the crew. (It depends, though, since I do have that Court army on its way.) 

Here's the first guy, so far! 







Still getting better brushwork and things in there, but for these guys, I admit I like a 'rougher' style, given the aesthetic I was going for. 

I could eventually list all the colors I used for him, but it was a lot of Army Painter(mostly acrylics, some speedpaints), and a little bit of Citadel, Scale 75, AK corrosion and Vallejo. (The latter two were two metal colors.) Basing involved mostly a variety of acrylics and speedpaints, some good ol' fashioned foraging, Vallejo mud, Army Painter tufts and so on. GSW provided the chains and barbed wire and Gamer Grass is where I got the skull bits from both for the base and for the skull flail(I just wanted to make a flail out of skulls.) 

Considering making a chain-belt for the plague fellow. Nice thing is I can see how it looks first before adding it! 

Anyway, keeping this short and sweet, will update this again with some more when I'm done another. (Or when the Court army gets here, whatever comes first!)
