Marienburg Ogre Bodyguard

I love the Landsknecht Ogres box from Wargames Atlantic. Here's another ogre from that box, painted up for Mordheim. I went with a red, yellow, and blue paint scheme, which is one of the classic schemes for a warband from the city of Marienburg. With their extra 100 gold starting budget, Marienburgers could afford an ogre from the get-go. This fellow is armed with a halberd, which would count as a two-handed weapon, giving the ogre an effective strength of 6 for his two attacks each round. Scary.

The paints to use are as follows:

• Blue (70.925) Dark Prussian Blue (70.899)
• Heavy Red (72.141)
• Heavy Sienna (72.154)
• Gold Brown (70.877)
• Oily Steel (70.865)
• Gehenna's Gold (Citadel)
• Nuln Oil wash (Citadel)
  
• Normal flesh layering colors (Brown and Golden Brown (Craftsmart))

The base is something different. After laying down the Vallejo Dark Earth Texture (26.218), I painted everything black. Then I heavily drybrushed Heavy Charcoal (72.155), did a medium drybrush with Basalt Grey (70.869), and then a light drybrush of Luftwaffe Uniform WWII (70.816), which is a nice blue-grey.  Finally, a super-light drybrush of Deep Sky Blue (70.844). It gives a nice nighttime look that should stand out among my other miniatures.
