I took a bit of a break from tiny familiars over the last few days to work on this classic model. Yes, one of the iconic Jes Goodwin ogres that everyone knows and loves. I am sure that you will agree that these are some of the finest models of the 1980s and like the familiars, there is a huge range of character and detail in each figure. In fact, anyone with even a passing interest of old school Citadel models should have a couple of these in their collection.
I am lucky enough to have ten.
Looking back at the lead mountain, I have really squandered these models. They have sat in my draw for many, many years and I really should have doen them the service they deserve a paint them up to make a unit. So alongside the tiny tiny familiars I am going to knock out a couple of these models a week (hopefully) to help preserve my sanity of dealing with the uber fiddly detail on the familiars.
He was a real pleasure to paint if truth be told. The skin was easy to highlight and his character just oozed out as I worked. Drybrushing brought out the furs and his hair and the rest was simply a case of basecoat, highlight and extreme highlight. There are still a couple of things to work on here... but they can wait.
I am just about to depart back to school. So I won't have any further time to work on anything for the next week or so. I help look after key worker children and have to do my week before retreating back into self-isolation again. But I will be back.... stay safe in the meantime everybody.

He looks great! Don't beat yourself up about 'squandering' the ogres. I've an original boxing of Citadel's Adventurers Starter Set BC-1 from the 80's that I've had for at least a decade. Trying to get the nerve up to paint them!
ReplyDeleteI suppose there is no better time to accept the challenge. Its funny how we can become almost 'frightened' to begin a painting project for a whole number of reasons isn't it? Thanks for the kind words. (:
DeleteSuperb - and the skin tones in particular! I quite agree that these are some of the best Citadel miniatures. When I was a kid, I had two very minor grumbles about them: one, that they were quite a bit bigger than the second set of Golgfag's ogres, which otherwise were a perfect match for them; and two, that they were *so* characterful that they didn't really all work as a unit. But those were very small grumbles! They're brilliant miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThere was another wave of these, with the slightly goblinish shaman and the troll-like mutant. I reckon the best ones from the whole range are the slightly more generic types like the marauder, the bounty hunter and the mercenary: 'regular' ogres who could fit in anywhere that there's ogreing to be done!
I agree with your point about the more generic ogres being the most useful of the models. Having used ogres in a wide variety of armies over the years I feel that they are wonderfully characterful troops to field in any fantasy game. In the 80s I have an ogre champion called 'Vomit Breath' and he is one of the few models from this range that I don't currently possess. I suppose I should leave him until last in this project and attemptto recreate him, modern paintjob pending of course! (:
DeleteVery nice work on a great figure.
ReplyDeleteThanks (:
DeleteGreat job! I just painted one of these (Gutlagg, Executioner) up myself recently. They really are a pleasure to paint!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best of the best is Gutlagg. I am pretty sure I have him somewhere (or certainly did) but I have yet to locate him in the leadpile. I love the way he stands posing with his axe at rest. Somehow I can't imagine him to be the most proficient of executioners! (;
DeleteHe's a bit good eh? One of the range you don't see painted as much as some of the others.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chico. He has copied your haircut though... Perhaps you could copy his nose ring? (;
DeleteI have that guy! Got him second hand from someone who used him for Bloodbowl and had cut the club off... I tried a modern club but it didn't look great so I eventually just left it off... which is sad.
ReplyDeletePoor ogre... how must they feel without their trusty clubs?
DeleteBeautiful! Love the way you paint flesh, it blends shadows and lights really nice. By the way, love to see my favourite blog back!
ReplyDeleteThank you Inti... I enjoy painting flesh and always start with it when painting a figure. I have to get the face finished before moving on to the other parts of the figure. I have no idea why I do this... just tradition I guess. But I cannot concentrate on other parts of a figure until this is done. As for the flesh tones, I plan to vary these a little with this project. I am thinking of adding yellow to the mix next time and trying some darker skins tones in future too. These models make the perfect canvas for experimentation.
DeleteGlad to see you back Orlygg.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about these ogres as I will explain.
I think they are great models but many years ago my army of Araby, featuring figures from the Mad Mulla Ackland Regiment of Renown, supplemented by various arabic figures from Essex miniatures and even an Essex elephant and howdah, met their fate at the hands of Skrag the Slaughterer and his cursed dwarven allies many times! Some of these ogres, as well as Golgfag's regiment were used to defeat my brave army over and over :(
Great painting though :)
Mighty ogres have crushed your armies into the dirt on many an occasion eh? There can only be one solution to such mental damage - collect the entire range of these models, paint them up and then crush army after army in response!! Trust me, it will be good for you! (:
DeleteAlas, my fantasy wargaming days are long behind me. Get to play D&D weekly as much easier to set up but organising a battle is impossible nowadays. Your site brings it all back though :)
DeleteCracking job mate and look forward to the next one. I've still to get the full set but the hunt is the best bit sometimes! The Bounty Hunter is the one I really covet ever since seeing him in an Advanced Heroquest scenario printed in White Dwarf I beleive.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is an amazing figure and sadly one I covet too. I recall the fantastic image of him for AHQ too in one of those superb dungeon style dioramas they produced from the game. An undervalued gem is AHQ.... ):

ReplyDeleteI do love these old classic Jes Ogres. You've done a worthy job on this guy. I've painted a few myself over the years, and what I wouldn't give for a few more of these timeless beauties to paint again...

ReplyDeleteI’ve heard plenty about spells but have never attempted it and the one time I did, it was successful for me. LORD MEDUZA performed a spell for me and provided the winning number that allowed my husband and I to win the Lotto. I returned home from the hospital where my baby was born and asked my husband to buy a Lotto Max ticket after seeing on social media that the Jackpot was at $70 million, mentioning that I’d found someone who could assist us in winning it and we proceeded exactly as LORD MEDUZA directed with the ticket. The next morning, I used my phone to check the ticket and heard a winning tone. I was in disbelief and unable to comprehend what was occurring, I looked at the ticket once more and I saw the same thing. That’s when I phoned my husband to tell him we had won. Thus, anyone seeking assistance can reach out to LORD MEDUZA, as his work embodies what I term perfection. He can be contacted via

ReplyDeleteYou can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr Reethesh. When I met Dr Reethesh, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman at 32 years of age and I have been married for five years. I went to many hospitals and all the doctors I met were telling me that i'll not be able to give birth again. The doctors were telling me that I am affected with Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Uterine Fibroids. They were advising me to go for child adoption. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age. I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr Reethesh. Within a few weeks of contacting Dr Reethesh, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after six months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr Reethesh of my bareness for him to help me. He did the spell for fertility. I took the herbs he sent to me. And after some months of finishing the herbs, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a handsome son. Presently, I am a mother of a handsome son and I am happy in my marriage. All thanks to Dr Reethesh and his wonderful work. Contact Dr Reethesh Via WhatsApp: +2349012999010 OR Email: reethesh60@gmail.com

How Dr Wale made life easy for me. I was in love with my high school girlfriend. We grew up together with strong love and sweet understanding. We were living peacefully together with ourselves. But here is how things started going wild for us. My woman works in a different city far away from me, So the best way of getting in touch is through communicating on the phone. But after five months, Our communication started slowing down. Whenever I call her she'll say she's busy and that she'll call me back when she's done with everything. That day will finish without her calling back, It's continue for months till I decide to pay her a surprise visit in the city where she works. After some few days with her I found out that my woman has been having an affair with his boss in the office. When I tried to question her about it, She told me that she was done with me and she doesn't want us to continue anymore. Those words broke my heart into pieces to the point that I almost took my life. Before going to my city she blocked me on all her social media handles. I went back to my city with deep pain inside of me, I was depressed and felt betrayed by her actions. After some months still living in pain and bitterness I told a friend of mine about the issues, My friend told me he'II introduced me to Dr Wale he said that Dr Wale is the only man that can bring back my happiness. He said to me his marriage is perfect today with the help of Dr Wale. When I reached out to Dr Wale and told him everything that was going on he told me to be calm and that I'II be a happy man again. Dr Wale instructed me to make payment for Items needed. The magic started when my woman gave me a call two days later crying on the phone begging me to please have mercy on her. She said she doesn't know what came over her that made her behave badly. We're now back together living happily again like we used to before. I wanna give all thanks to Dr Wale for making everything possible and for bringing my woman back to me. If you need any kind of help Dr Wale is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp/Viber: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHow my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself. Please be careful about some persons you call your friend. I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city. So one day my husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what's happening. He never gave me attention or listened. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control. I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR WALE telling me that DR WALE will save my marriage. When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. I paid for all materials needed to get the job done. DR WALE found out that it was my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said it was my friend that told my husband negative things DR WALE went forward to say they were both having an affair together. So DR WALE did what he knows how to do best telling me my husband will come begging. DR told me that my best friend did an evil spell so my husband turned his back on us. But all thanks to DR WALE my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him. because DR WALE has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We're living together as one big family now. If you want back your Ex-partner DR WALE is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp/Telegram: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI want to say a very big thank you to RIGHTWAYLAW for their professional work, with their help I was able to remotely access my cheating husband iPhones within few hours. I could read all SMS, whats_app messages, Facebook messenger, photos and videos, GPS tracking and even recording phone conversation. I can’t say much because I am still hurting from the secrets I uncovered. I probably would be dead by now if I hadn’t read the messages between both parties. Men will disgrace you get your self a hacker to keep your self secured. For women out there in this type of relationship and you are in need of urgent help to clarify things out, I would recommend this hacker too, you can reach out to him for any social media hack or catching a cheating spouse remotely.
