The Red Eye Tribe

Ages ago I started a new army during a summer in London. I bought the tyrant, a basic ogres unit and cannon ogres. I only got the basic ones painted. This is the result.


I don't rememeber much about their creation. I remember painting the skin was major pain in the ass, and I remember didn't even had the tool for the basing, but the final result was not that bad in the end.


This army was ment to have every ogre named after a philosopher. The basic unit was named after pre-socratic guys, with Tales as Sergeant.


 Besing was also to use a new technique with cork, giving them a rocky looking more suited to their background.



 In painting techniques the main step forward was the use of an extensive skin tone, something completely new for the time. The faces were also painted half red and the weapons were to be orange-rusted. I expected all these techniques combined to look absolutely awesome when finished but in the end the overall looking is good but not so good.


In the end they are a nice unit. Nothing eye-catching, but up to the quality standards. Back in the days my main force were old and outdated dwarfs, so this unit really improved the overall looking of my troops.


This is a detail of the rust, a really easy technique with great effects. It is a pity that the contrasts used were so light for the whole group would had been astonishing. A nice one anyway
