Well, I am finally getting around to painting the big guys. To this point I have them primed. And will start the actual painting process tomorrow after work and on Saturday. Hope to have pics at the various stages but we'll see.
I'm also going to put some things Id like to accomplish with the Ogres while I am playing them. More for S and G than anything else. I will update these as soon as they are accomplished. They will be noted by the 'XX' and will give a brief description of how it was accomplished. For the in game ones, they may become a separate blog post.
