Keith Robertson’s Ogres: Covered in Rust

December 2012·p. 109

THE SHORT VERSION

Keith’s corrosion sequence makes rust the dominant surface before restoring small amounts of metal. Skrag Brown is drybrushed with Troll Slayer Orange and Fire Dragon Bright to create a strongly weathered orange finish. Ironbreaker is then applied selectively as remaining or newly exposed metal, producing the chipped weapons and armour that visually unite his Ogre collection.

Black Library: Sword of Caledor

Adam follows Tyrion and Teclis as threats gather around Ulthuan and Tyrion moves towards his role as the Everqueen’s champion. Recovering Sunfang gives the book its title, but the review emphasises William King’s ability to expand the old High Elf tales he originally wrote into a more immediate character journey. Malekith, Morathi and N’Kari provide the surrounding danger, with the closing scenes singled out as the culmination of Tyrion’s destiny.

Army of the Month: Keith Robertson’s Ogre Kingdoms Army

Keith Robertson revisits an Ogre collection that began with grey-skinned Feastmasters and Halfling cooks, then received a warmer flesh palette during a studio Battalion Challenge. Green bases contrast with rusty metal and tie the force to his childhood painting, while Chaos Dwarf allies and enslaved Giants establish a new eastern-mountain identity. He discusses repainting cherished models, making conversions only when the idea is clear, and steadily collecting towards one example of every unit without turning the project into a deadline.
