Yet another Ogre!

Phew, got this baby made up in about four hours!

Ogre Bull WiP

So, I am still working on my Ogre Kingdoms army. And here I present, in milliput delight, the fruit of my work so far: an Ogre Bull. He’s sculptured around a basic Ogre torso with arms and legs, but as you can see it’s hardly noticeable. Originally I was not supposed to sculpt more than the head and some extra gut, but as I started I felt that I wanted a truly unique Ogre army and one thing led to another…and suddenly the little rascal was almost completely covered in terracotta milliput. Obviously he’s not quite done, but I am very happy with the result so far. Note the cute helmet on his head (I giggle every time I see it), the skull (of a horse?) on his left shoulder and the half unbuttoned “butt flap” (*giggle*). 

Stormvermin Unit-Filler WiP [Update]

Almost finished now. Had a "tank" attached to its neck (probably filled with some foul warpstone mix) and continued sculpting the head of the Stormvermin.

Enjoy!

Stormvermin Unit-Filler WiP

So, time for another update. This time the continued work on my brother’s Stormvermin unit-filler. This is basically my second serious attempt using Terracotta Milliput (except for the mandatory test runs). I am much happier this time around as I am starting to get a feel for the material. Compared with your regular run of the mill green stuff it is more like clay and, in my humble opinion, much easier to work with. You have to be aware of its shortcomings however. Terracotta Milliput doesn’t stretch at all like green stuff, in fact, it doesn’t stretch without breaking (so don’t do that!) and it is less sticky so that it is harder to attach to plain surfaces. At least if you leave it for some minutes before you try to stick it on your miniatures. Like green stuff I recommend using a lot of water so that it doesn’t stick to your modelling tools. But water also helps if you make smooth surfaces (if you’re into that sort of stuff).

I know the head looks a bit big, but I hope adding some more neck will fix the problem.

Happy New Year!

I know I have a lot of unfinished projects right now (don't worry, I'm still working on them), but I got my hands on some Terracotta Milliput and here's my first attempt at it. A lot of things I am not happy with, but it is my first time...
