Seen on the Forums: Nurgle Ogres and Hobgoblins

Discovered this thread recently on Warseer - Chaos nurgle ogres - Extreme makeover edition - absolutely brilliant stuff! I always enjoy Animerik's threads - they're generally filled with amazing conversions using parts from across the Games Workshop miniature ranges, combined with lovely sculpting and fantastic painting!

Animerik has previously worked on a Warriors of Chaos army for Fantasy that was one of the deciding factors in my choice to go for a gritty Chaos force. This most recent painting log has pretty much forced me to find a bunch of Gnoblar heads (through various online trades) and a load of Lord of the Rings Mordor Orcs from a friend in order to start a small warband of them for Songs of Blades and Heroes.

I just plain love these conversions. Probably the best kitbashed Hobgoblins I've ever seen! Pretty darn cheap too, given that they're plastic with the addition of various bits. I'm very much looking forward to receiving the parts for these in the post and getting converting! Check out that thread for more!

Seen on the Forums: Mercenary Ogre

Saw this the other night and just had to post it - the absolutely brilliant Clint the Mercenary Outrider on Lead Adventure. Go check it out for more lovely pictures. I've had some thoughts bouncing around recently for a small (to begin with) Empire force, heavy on the mercenaries and unit fillers - this is exactly the kind of theme i want to go for!
