Rise of Legends - Rat Ogre Kingdoms part 2

Rat Ogre Kingdoms - part 2

I've been struggling with basing concepts.   As this RoR is also going to be carried on to a full fledged army I need to have a workable basing / display base concept.

I really locked into wanting to do something with a sewer.  Alot of the images I found though were all narrow corridors and didn't really translate well to an army.

After spending a couple of hours pouring over google images I found some images from a Castlevania video game which really captured the look I wanted.  So the pic below is the inspiration and really gives me some good ideas on how to do a "large room" sewer theme.

With that in mind I set to work playing with a bit of styrofoam, some existing rat ogres from a friend, some minatures and bit of Castle Greyskull.  My goal for my RoR is to not only have the models but to create a story.  So this is a bit of a rough idea of a small bit of display.   I really like where this is headed and will let me do a lot of terrain elements as well as include some water features.  Really looking forward to working on this mini diorama and the models in the upcoming weeks!

I am also locking in my force as the following
Irongut - Leader
Ogre w/ AHW
Sabretusk
2 x Gnoblars

I've not yet gotten into working out which bits of veteran kit to use but it will be included!

Cheers,

Domus - Rat Ogre Kingdoms

Hello.

I've agreed to join the Regiments of Renown project John is hosting and will be creating models that will eventually be part of a larger Warhammer army.

Inspired by a theme idea given to me 5 years ago by a close friend I will be creating a Rat Ogre Kingdoms force.  Basically, an Ogre Kingdoms army entirely using rat ogre models and a skaven theme.  The rat ogres are host to a number of awesome models rarely seen except as unit fillers due to the terrible rules currently in play for them.

This Regiment of Renown will be used as a bit of proof of concept for my army force and will help me to work out basing decisions and create a small diorama to help push my theme.

I'm still working out the exact details of what to include in my force.  100 pts does not give one a lot of room for ogres.  Currently toying with 2 ogres, 1 sabretusk and 3 gnoblars.  More to come as I figure that bit out.

For now I just want to state some of the goals I hope to hit with this project.

Contrast
I really want to push contrast in every way possible.
Old Models ---> New Models
Converted Models ---> Unconverted Models
As well as pushing contrast with the paint on the models themselves.

In the next week or two I will put up a post with both my army build and some WIP models. 

Cheers,
Domus
