After pre-ordering the new Ogre boardgame, I decided to dig up my old Ogre Miniatures figures. I've done a couple of Ogres in the past, but all the tanks and and other stuff is still sitting in a box. I actually cleaned and assembled quite a few of them long ago (including doing the combine heavy tanks twice...) but never actually painted them.

The Old Stuff

These are the old models I painted a long long time ago.

A MkIII Ogre in Combine colors. The black scheme is a bit dull (and dusty!). I was trying for an eyeball effect here, but it really doesn't come through. This an Ogre MkV. I was going through my tiger stripe phase when I painted this one. Another view of the Fencer. Note how bad the decals are.

These are the old Ral Partha models. There's an error here: The MkV has only 12 AP batteries, therefore there are 4 extra ones in the back. Side view of MkIII Ogre. I think the MkV is better than the black MkIII, but it is a bit monotonous. Perhaps the eyeball thing would have worked better with the two main batteries.

Fencer was sort of poor man's Ogre, if I recall correctly. MkIII Ogre view from the top. Pan-European Fencer. I actually rather like the model. Too bad it was ruined by a batch of bad varnish I had...

MkV from the side. The join between front and rear hull is very weak for a very very heavy metal model.

A Historical Game

In addition to being a very old game, these pictures are some of the very first ones imported into the photo database.

The ogres on the prowl. The final stages of a long-lost battle of Ogre miniatures. Somene tries a bit of flanking. The hill in the picture is the very first one I ever made. I didn't think of painting a base color first, and it shows...

Wider picture of the last stages. Yet another Ogre shot. Ogre game in progress.

More ogrish action. Action in the sidelines. More Ogre.

It likes tiger stripes. You want to make something of it?
