Ever since I started 40k, 20 years ago, I've wanted a squad of Ogryns. But other projects, real life, etc have got in the way. With a few lucky eBay purchases recently though, I've finally fixed that. These are tabletop quality only, but I think they are fantastic models, drip with character, and help give the Imperial Guard a Sci-Fi (rather than real life) quality. There's five 'classic' Ogryns of 2nd edition 40k vintage, five of the more recent incarnations, and a plastic Nork Deddog.

Neat to see the various eras like that. One small thing is that it looks like you could have thinned out your paint for the green parts a bit more. At least, it looks a bit thick in these pictures, that may be from the lighting.

Completely right toasteroven. Two things together - using a slightly different green to normal [Kabalite Green rather than a Caliban Green / Dark Angels Green], and the fact some of the metal models were previously painted before a paint stripping exercise - meant the green is a bit thick in places. But I'm still really happy with the overall effect and squad(s).

Yeah, that's always a problem with models that were already painted on, isn't it.

Didn't say it before, but I really like the depth and detail on their faces.
