Relic Ogryn

Finally managed to get some (not the best) pictures of the big ugly Relic Ogryn Bust/Game Piece from Relic which was painted over the weekend. Kind of fitting what with GW having just released their new Ogryn kit don’t you think? He was a whole bunch of fun to paint and took a surprisingly short time to complete, which is very nice, especially as I’m quite happy with it.

I used a lighter flesh tone to that used on the guardsman, and stuck to the traditional Ogryn Camo colour for the vest, giving the piece a very understated palette that reflects the second rate, abhuman status of your typical Ogryn grunt. And the lighter colours are offset by splashes of red, in the bionic eye, mouth and blood stain (very happy with that last bit), and the dark, workmanlike shades of the metal in the armour, head plates and bandolier. And that big, expressive eye looks pretty nice in my humble opinion. And this guy means it’s four down, six to go!

Anyway, here are a couple more shots. Enjoy!
