A quick “bonus” post today – this ogre is one I’ve had since the late 1980’s or very early 1990’s, started painting several years ago, and then finally went back to and restarted from scratch last year, “finishing” it then. I was never entirely happy with the model, though. In the post, I wondered aloud if I should have taken the extra time to add a very simple “1980’s WWF Roddy Piper” tartan-like pattern to his skirt. Both Faust and Kuribo suggested that it would look good, so instead of going into a case or onto the shelf, he went back onto a corner of the painting desk to wait.
For a year.
So in August, I finally forced myself to finish his kilt and get the thing off my desk finally. And here he is.
Complete.
Finally.
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
Very nice, love the tartan.

Nice work on this guy!
I’ve never owned this Ogre but it’s been among my favourite GW since since I saw him as the door guard in Mike McVey’s multi-level Warhammer Quest diorama… which I just realised was almost 30 years ago now!

I mean, I’m practically legally obligated to say this, but… the Tartan looks fantastic and definitely adds to the mini! Its never fun going to back to something you thought was already done but in this case, I think it was well worth it, mate.

The tartan is killer (or maybe kilter…)
