Ever onward, next up was another classic 80’s Ogre, the executioner (also known as Gutlagg).

The basic flesh colour was laid down with contrast at the same time as the chaos dwarf. I added purple and red washes to give it some more depth.

Then it was onto the larger areas of the hood, jacket and boots. I went with a dark grey black for the hood, which was then drybrushed up and highlighted with a final light grey. The jacket was painted in a mid leather colour, studs in metal. Boots were washed with a grey/brown.

I decided to add a bit of colour with the trousers. To harken to my previous ogre (and perhaps imply Altdorf affiliation if ever inclined) I went with a split red blue. Red was a base of mephiston, washed agrax then highlighted up through to orange. The blue was Kantor again washed agrax, then highlighted up through to a pale blue.

I again pushed myself to go an extra highlight stage compared to what I would normally do, and find that I like the extra pop it gives it.

The hood was looking a touch too grey, so I gave it a nuln oil wash, followed by re highlighting it with grey. In places I tried to make the edges look a little frayed.

The pouches were painted in an off white (doesn’t show the shading too well in the pics), axe and other bits were painted up.

After picking out the teeth and eyes as best I could I also added an extra highlight to the face and knuckles, plus painted the hair white.
