Travellers 2005 project : Ogres

traveller · Post by **traveller** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 9:20 pm

Well, i will start a post now about my next project:
A Ogre Team

Mostly i will convert this team for the GD 2005 as iÂ´m allowed to bring a team this year again,
but i will play this team in my local league and, if ready enough for tournaments, the ogres will take over from my orcs.

I will post here some picts from time to time
... but i will not show everything to keep some surprises for later

Ok, here the beginning... a first overview of the minis.

But i started to think about some new ideas lately... so the overall theme will change.

I showed the running ogre before... anyway, here he is again:

But IÂ´m still not sure, after seeing Tims converted ones, if i will convert some more ogres as my first ones seem to "static" now.

Looking good Traveller. Working on my own Ogre team now, so I look forward to watching yours come together.

Very good. Ogre trainers are growing fast. (as a singer from my country said: "Go for them, they are little and fearfull"

a pitty the ogres are so expensive !

yes, and this make me think quite hard, before i start cutting one

The last two days i "converted" my doubles of the BBogre team Gobbos a bit... i got a second Ogre thrower arm and "set " the gobbo free

.. quite a lot milldrilling and later some greenstuffing ! But he looks quite ok now running on his own

I also got this standing BBogre team Gobbo with a ball under his arm as a double and cut a bit... i think i will finish him greenstuffing tonight and can post a pict.

apparently converting OGRES is all the rage nowadays... have you seen the OK range conversions in Feb's White Dwarf?

Still can't say I care for this range too much, but the Oni conversion is real nice.

here the promised picts of the BBogre gobbo conversions.

Like i wrote before:

... i "converted" my doubles of the BBogre team Gobbos a bit... i got a second Ogre thrower arm and "set " the gobbo free .. quite a lot milldrilling and later some greenstuffing ! But he looks quite ok now running on his own. I also got this standing BBogre team Gobbo with a ball under his arm as a double and cut a bit...

The second Gobbos arms and left leg were cut and glued into a different position. Some GS to cover the scares...

But i like the pose of the second one. He looks quite mean and threating... for a gobbo

Looks awesome!!!

Anyway, for gaming purposes Im collecting some 2nd ed. ogres cause i think they are more easy to play with.. smaller i mean.

True.... thats the reason i will build prone/stunned marks for each of the big BB ogres like i did for my converted troll of my orc team.

(mental note: Dont forget this !!!)
