I have been working on a complicated project for a Blood Pact warp powered skimmer, more on that story later. In the meantime, I have been working on some feral ogryn that could be used with an IG or renegade army.
I bought some Warhammer Ogres, chopped the pointy things off and attached Minimax big guns. These are the first four off the line. I will use the one shouting orders as a bone head so I will have to come up with some prosthetics. They are mounted on resin bases. These are so good and cheap that I base everything on them now.
What do you think? Cool or silly?
ive done this and your look awesome, you can also use the side of the tank backpack as a gut plate to make them more 40k, as well as making helmets and metal plate shoulders to bulk them out. x

ReplyDeleteExcellent council. Do you have a photo up somewhere for us to look at?

PS If you don't but want to email a pic to me then I will put it up here.
I had the same idea about using the Ogryns for a guards army. I like how those MAxmini big AP guns look, great idea! consider it stolen lol.

ReplyDeleteFeel free - I steal enough from fellow bloggers.

Oh dear I feel a box of Ogryn will just have to be bought but I might have enough Orky bits to make the guns from left overs we'll see

ReplyDeleteGo on, go on, go on...you know it makes sense.

I just bought a box of ogres for my Warhammer army, now I am tempted to make ogryns.
ReplyDeleteI think the guns look very cool, with good scenic bases as well. I think Cap'n made a good point about making them some 40k looking armour.
If you had any Ork Boyz, I seem to remember they have a few scraps of armour or plates on their sprue.
Looking good.
