There are several deals available for groups of Ogres.

HOLY COW! Those are great, thanks kroot. I'm willing to bet more than one ogre player is going to be overjoyed

Also, saw this on their site:



If I played tzeentch daemons, I would use these. They look way better than traditional screamers.

More not GW. Yay.

I've been admiring these minis for some weeks now, the Ogres fit perfectly with my army theme (swamp/sea ogres)

'Cause as we all know, Ogres are the sole property of GW (and they invented them, and how they look, and everything about them) so no one else is allowed to make them. Ever.

Ever ever.

Titan Forge makes great looking monsters/large fellas

The cannon-gater is genius

Oof. I don't usually use non-GW stuff (looks out of place next to my others) but I might have to get some of those.

It's actually too large to be a Screamer, it's actually more chariot-sized. If you look at the version which comes with the "Daemonic Magelord", you'll see that it's actually pretty huge (so the 29 euro price tag isn't as bad as it first appears).

I won't start an Ogre army. I won't.

And here I was hoping my pirate-themed Ogre army would be something unique.

Those are some lovely models.

they could have at least made their "not leadbelchers" not look like Leadbelchers.

They didn't even change the pose.

But you knew that.

BTW, if you need pirate themed small ones and have enough money for metals:

If you are lucky, you can find these OOP Confrontation goblins:

Don't forget the wonderful Confrontation Troll

Such a beautiful thread. I doubt it will ever be surpassed. It makes me sad to know I will never own most of the models in this thread. :(

Those are some great looking figures.

Are those Ogers bits, full cast, or on sprues?

They resin, or plastic?

Resin and in parts

for example the cannoneers

Those are some pretty cool liking goblins could add some variety to a GW goblin unit, or possibly Grots.

I've got the BS giant - & he's really quite tall.
Not as big as the FW one but then that costs way more.
If any one any comparision pictures, please PM me & I'll post here.

Great pirate ogres. I love the Gator Cannon, so cool.

nice minis

Anyone else start singing the "Battle for New Orleans" by Johnny Horton when they saw this one?

"We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind."

It's more likely to blast iron these days

So color me amongst the impressed, neat stuff going on and not bad sculpts at all. Hopefully they'll make a 'festooned with pistols' unit, it would seem that most every ogre army could use decent models to rep 3-4 (scouting, sniping, poison, flaming) guneaters, and being pirates just fits in with the maneater allure of not matching the rest of the army. As is these models here have somewhat limited application outside of pirate-themed gangs / armies (unlike say Maelstrom whose big beasties match the established army looks already).

Also, that uber-screamer is amazing

- Salvage

It would make a perfect disc or chariot

shhh worglock shhhh,listen to this k? listen....

I want you to.....

Draw us a pic to how you want them to change the not lead belcher's pose.

Do it
do it
do it.......... okee?

Like the fish cannon, unfortunately nothing else. Then again I don't like the ogres normally anyway, if I were to play them in fantasy I'd go with a gnoblar horde.

Perhaps the leadbelchers need more layers so as to satisfy some people here.

Replace the donkey with the cannon, the cat with a gnoblar/rum bottle slap and on a pirate hat and bam.

Leadbelchers are already one of the most pirat-y units GW ever made anyway.

How can amazing minis like these be so OOP / hard to find

The pirate ogres are pretty sweet, too! If only companies like this could make "kits"... several bodies with a number of arm and head options, so that units could be made from them. Like Salvage says, it's kind of limited what you could really do army-wise with these at the moment. But still, very cool!

Not a fan of the huge cannon-on-gator, though

Have you read kenshin620's post and the photo he posted? Because this company does sell kits.

From Emperornorton's plog on Warseer:


Black Scorpion, Otherworld, FW.

And another in comparison to the other GW giants.
