Empire Ogre Hobby Update

It's a new year, and very nearly not even the first month in the new year at this point. As usual, time is getting away from me. But that's OK, because I have hobby progress to show you! The annual pilgrimage to Cancon happened on the weekend just past, and whilst I am yet to put together my usual report of the tournament, I can show you the stuff I was rather frantically painting right up to the day before the event. I had decided I wanted to use the tournament as motivation to make some progress on my Ogres, and that's what I have to show now.

First up, I now have a Tyrant on Stonehorn! To my mind, this was an option I very much wanted if I was going to take Ogres to a tournament. He's big and scary. I don't know about competent, but you can't have everything, right?
Having decided that the things I was working on would be in the style of my Empire Ogres (rather than the similar sized force of more traditional Ogres I also have lying around), I needed a suitable rider. The Ogre is a mix of 3D printed bits from Infernal Miniatures (though the shield and pauldrons I sourced from some Bretonnians somewhere, and adjusted them to fit). The hammer is one of my old putty creations.
