I don't think I've ever posted any of my minis here before!

This is Whalebelly (I'm sure you can all guess where I stole the name!

), the Ogre Bodyguard for my Pirate-themed Orc and Goblin Mordheim warband.

(This big fella has been sitting, unpainted, on my workbench for about three years!)

Looks nice.

I like that wood leg and hook in his arm.

Looks like a pirate, good.

Looks really good! i love pirate ogres!.. the mouldlines however are killing the model!.. you should always cut the mould lines off before painting the model.. its a common newbie trap...

Thanks guys.

Pirates are where it's at.

It's also quite a common oldbie trap - I've been painting for quite a long time matey!

CaNNiBaLLZ · « **Reply #4 on:** Oct 14, 2009, 02:03:27 PM »

I do know, I just get carried away with the enthusiasm to get painting and forget to double check. Mold-lines are much more noticeable in photographs than IRL.

As soon as I can afford the 80gc to hire him!

Florentine Pogen · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 16, 2009, 12:26:43 AM »

The only mould lines I can see are on the boots, and that could easily be stitching!

Finally finished painted my Cathayan Pirate Ogre Hired Sword (for my "Cathayan Pirate Orc" Mordheim warband, the Gloomwyrms):

Since the longest part of the paint-job was his tattoo, I took some extra shots of it:

Randroid · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 20, 2010, 02:06:42 PM »

Looks great! I like him much more than Whalebelly (although both are cool).

Do you have shots of the rest of your warband?

Slaughterman · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 20, 2010, 03:04:44 PM »

dude, that's some killer ink, where did you get it done?

In the Cathay Town district of Vercuso on Sartosa.

Looking great - I LOVE TATTOOS ON MODELS so that is right up my street!!!

WarbossKurgan · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 01, 2011, 04:03:27 PM »

I've done another one, this time for Da Rotmoons - Estallian Pirate Orcs!

Hammerhead The Ogre Bodyguard Hired Sword

Sorry - blurry photos!

Slaughterman · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 01, 2011, 04:38:58 PM »

that's awesome, he looks like a Zorro villain!

Nando · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 03, 2011, 08:24:00 AM »

I want to see the two facing off against each other.

ecwh070 · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 07, 2011, 03:57:00 AM »

I like Deffgit. I am a huge fan of clean and neat painting.

The Ultra-Mega Bob · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 18, 2011, 09:05:23 AM »

Great stuff as always Warboss Kurgan! I've been a fan of your painting and converting since I first saw your work on Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum a couple of years ago (the Halloween Orcs were great!

); it's really nice to see you still at it.

Reg06 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 28, 2011, 06:40:03 PM »

Fantastic ogres. I really like your method for skin, and the Cathayan's tattoo is rock solid.
So, I'll ask this question because there's no reason to assume that someone who didn't stop at one would stop at three- how many bands of pirate orks do you have?

WarbossKurgan · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 12, 2011, 02:17:58 PM »

More Pirate Ogres! This time for Warhammer (mainly to be Summoned in Storm of Magic games):

More photos here and here!

Three Mordheim warbands:

The Rotmoons (Estalia themed pirates)
The Gloomwyrms (Cathay themed pirates)
The Ogresuns (Sartosa themed pirates)

Plus enough other stuff to make them up to a 2000 - 3000 point Pirate Orc and Goblin army:

40 more Sartosa Pirate Orcs (The Hogwashas and the Cleavermaws)
2 Giants
3 Looted Cannons (Spear Chukkas)
1 Looted Mortar (Rock Lobber)
5 Goblin Crab Riders (Spider Riders)
A dozen or so Pirate Orc characters

Plus a load of WIP stuff! (Wyvern, another Giant, Goblins, Doom Diver, etc.)

WarbossKurgan · « **Reply #22 on:** May 10, 2012, 12:52:56 PM »

I'm back again with another Ogre Bodyguard, this time for the Chimeras (Araby themed Orc Corsairs).

Yes, he is sunburned!

Zolas · « **Reply #23 on:** May 10, 2012, 10:21:44 PM »

Simply amazing! The sun burn is just great!

Gnoblar on me for this one!

cmsheats · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2012, 11:35:18 PM »

Man.... fantastic job on those! The tattoos are just amazing!
