I have completed Phase 1 of my Ogre project. I have painted all of the conventional forces from Miniature Set I. I haven't painted the 2 plastic Ogres yet, because I already have 3 metal ones. I'll get around to them, but there is no rush. With these forces, I can play the basic scenarios for the game.
I have never enjoyed painting large groups of similar miniatures, so these are a bit 'quick and ditry', but I do think the blue with yellow highlights really pops and will help them stand out on the table.
Long-term, I hope to expand this collection to include all of the official miniatures. I have recently purchased a large collection, but it is 'at home' in the USA, so it'll probably be awhile before I get them. (Though I do have an Ogrethulhu here - thanks to a generous soul).
Someone back in the day at SJG must have bought a model of an Eagle Transporter (the iconic and great looking spaceship from the television series Space 1999) as the command bunker looks awfully like the top of an Eagle leg pod and the often seen radar dish, as in the old Ogre wargame book, is an Eagle landing foot. A nice bit of recycling, you see something with an interesting shape and think ‘I know what I can use that for’.
ReplyDeleteI have thought this myself.
