I decided I'd upload one of the closeups of my Ogryn Bone 'ead in a means to point out what I think is the difference in painting figures and painting armies. Big Al, here, is a classic example of how I paint things to 'gaming standard,' as the common phrase is used. His skin is drybrushed and there is very little highlighting on his armour or weaponry. Minimal highlighting on his face, and then a brown and black ink over the whole model to provide some basic shading.

Yet, on the table, he looks awesome. :D

Also: Bone 'ead is an acronym, as it happens. Biochemical Ogryn Neural Enhancement: BONE. Fact from back in the day!

I didn't know that was an acronym, sweet. This is damn good for mere table top quality.

individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is an idiot.
It's not been recognized as such in a long while. Thought I'd put it up as one of the Guard players that still remembers, as it's such a neat acronym - it also makes Bone 'ead sound a little less stupid, in my opinion! ;D

I'd also like to say thanks for that awesome bit of geek trivia. I shall astound my wargaming buddy when he gets back from uni.
