It does look nice, I had some similar ideas (the hobgoblins as gnoblars, mostly) might borrow that mammoth hunter
Extra: I just bought a finecast Lamassu for the army, how can I field it as? I thought about making it my Frost Mammoth/Thundertusk, but the 50x50 base doesn't really fit, since Mammoth must use a 100x150 one, and can't think of anything :(
I managed to get some more models done, bases included. Which is good because I’m going to play them on a team tournament the 16th, and I want to bring all models painted.
First is a Thunder Cannon, the idea is that the ogre handling it is a slave of the big hat ones, that’s why he doesn’t deserve a beard nor a hat! :hashut
This one gonna be a fire Shaman (Pretty obvious, right?), I like how the fire and lava turned out
And the last one will be a random shaman, probably butchery and alchemy, because I love those 2 paths in 9th age. Look at his face, is so funny
Plastic CD heads on ogre bodies fit very well yes.
One piece of advice(like Admiral said before), drill holes into the gun barrels. It looks way better and makes a huge difference. It goes hand in hand with nice bases. A nice base and such details can easily upgrade the overall look of a miniature even when it isn’t well painted.
Okay so I went to a 9th age team tournament last weekend with my ogres, we finished 4th out of 8 teams, so not that bad
My games were: First day 1º Won 11-9 against ogres, pretty much the same list that I played 2º Lost 14-6 against another ogre, more combat focussed 3º Lost 12-8 against Khemri, agreed outcome with the opponent, since my list was kinda useless against his Second day 4º Draw 10-10 against ogres, similar list to mine, I didn’t wanted to take any risk since the team only needed me to score a draw 5º Won 15-5 against high elves, turn 1 to 3 were all hits with my scratapult on his swordmasters, and both eagles were dead on turn 2 also, so GG
My list: Great Shaman: General, Rottenjaw, Lv 4, Alchemy, Talisman of Greater Shielding, Demon Heart. 335 Khan: BSB, Iron Fist, Yeti Furs, Dragonskin Banner. 195 Shaman: Lv 1, Fire, Great Weapon, Dispell Scroll. 146 1x 14 Tribesmen: FCG, Banner of Discipline, Iron Fist, Heavy Armour. 553 2x 15 Scrapling: Standard Bearer, Short bows. 2x 50 1x 8 Mercenary Veterans: FCG, Flaming Standard, +1 Ballistic Skill, Poisoned Attacks, Brace of Ogre Pistols. 500 2x 1 Sabretooth Tigers. 2x 40 2x 2 Yetis. 2x 80 2x Thunder Cannon. 2x 150 1x Scratapult. 130 Total: 2499
